» The common feedback I've received from my recent rule tips have been asking for more clear simple explanations on queries involving penalty relief, ball movement, and on-course procedures. How long can you search for a ball and what's the penalty if you accidently move your ball on the green or bunker together with the ability to take free relief from abnormal ground conditions for example: ground under repair or temporary water.

» If you return a scorecard with a wrong score for a hole; the score you entered stands if it was higher than your actual score. However, you are disqualified if you return a score that is lower than your actual score or if you fail to return a score for a hole.

If you don't think hard about how your brain is working, as you are walking around the course it is important, think of all the players who used to play great yet couldn't even hit a cow's backside with a cricket bat.
Try developing silky-smooth swing with loads of power

» What should your hips do when you swing? -- well, your right hip will move up and back as you take the club away from the ball, and then up into a solid position as the lower body starts to generate power. The left leg should remain a little flexed as the right straightens on the backswing. I have to mention here that straightening your right leg is not set in stone, and if it works better for you -- keep a little spring in it.
