Modernising Golf's Rules
Last week the R&A proposed some key changes to the Rules of Golf from 2019. Their Rules Modernisation initiative has been underway for a few years now and this is the next stage in that process. The aim is to not only make the Rules easier to understand, but also to address some of the game's current problems, such as speed of play, and ensure they fit the needs of today's game.
Please spare a couple of minutes to complete our survey, which gives you the chance to have your say on the proposed changes.
We've picked out some of the most significant Rules changes for you to digest in this survey, before giving you the chance to say whether you agree or disagree with each of them. It'll be great to know your thoughts.

New Local Rule
On an important matter the R&A and USGA have introduced a new local rule to golf from the 1st January 2017 regarding the ball being accidentally moved on the green. This being a local rule means it is up to the discretion of the golf club to adopt or not. The golf committee have agreed at Laytown and Bettystown to adopt this local rule and information is available throughout the clubhouse. It can also be viewed on the R&A/USGA website. If you have any questions, please come into the shop and ask.
The Captains' Drive In
The Captains' Drive In will take place this Saturday with a new addition to proceedings this year with the boys' and girls' captain both driving in at the same time. The Drive In will take place at 1pm being followed by a shotgun start for 9 holes at 2pm. Please come along and support this day wishing the officers of the club a great year ahead.
