Rules are changed.

About five years ago golf changed the rule for replacing a ball that moves on the putting green.

If the committee finds that it wasn’t intentional and that there was no advantage, should this rule be changed?

And finally, are rulings like this good for the game and do they grow the game?
Here you go.

Rules for beginners & those who don't like the real rules.
