3. General Thoughts for Rule Changes for 2012-2015
Golf Australia will communicate thoughts on Rule changes for 2012-2015
to the R&A via the GA advisory member on The R&A Rules of Golf
Committee,...(name deleted by me..):
Root and branch review of Rule 13-4 with a view to removing
anomalies and inconsistencies.
In a case where a player breaches Rule 18-2 and the movement is
only detectable by electronic means (eg television), the penalty
for failing to replace the ball not be applied.
