1. New Rule—Modifications for Players with Disabilities: these modifications are now part of the Rules and are in effect for all competitions and all players who fall under the categories covered in new Rule 25.
2. Replacing Damaged Clubs: if your club is damaged during a round (except in cases of abuse) you may replace it, repair it, or continue to use it.
3. Ball Moved by Natural Forces: when your ball is at rest after taking relief and then rolls into another area of the course due to natural causes, there is no penalty, and you must
replace it.
4. Handicap on Scorecard (Stroke Play Only): you are not
required to put your handicap on your scorecard and there is no penalty if you return your scorecard in a competition with an incorrect handicap, as this is now the Committee’s
responsibility.  This change is consistent with other penalty reduction, such as reducing the penalty for playing an
incorrectly substituted ball from the general penalty to one stroke.
5. Simplified Back-on-the-Line Relief: when using this relief
option, you are required to drop your ball on the line, and it may roll up to one club-length in any direction.
