Regelboken kan komma att få en rejäl upputsning. R&A och USGA meddelade under onsdagen 1 mars att man vill göra en hel del förändringar.
Det här har skapat en stor debatt och nästan samtliga regelförändringar har både motståndare och supportrar.
En ny regel som diskuterats flitigt är att man ska få laga spikmärken.
Den största kritiken mot den nya regeln är att den kommer att överanvändas till spelares fördel.
LPGA-proffset Brittany Lincicome var mer upprörd över att caddies inte får linjera sina spelare när de puttar, samtidigt som andra säger att det kommer snabba på spelet.
Här är spelarnas reaktioner:
I think the changes are moving the right direction for golf, but I think professional golf should have its own book

>>my thoughts also
RT @TonyJohnstone56 .@RandA Repairing spike damage WILL be abused. Tried on Eurotour in 80's. Some made groove into hole

. @USGA free placing from where it last crossed the tree line would be very helpful.. Thanks in advance, Hackpro

Absolutely. It won't happen right away but making the rules easier to understand and friendlier to the average player will add to our sport https://t.co/Q9u5B8BpSq

Great changes on simplifying golf rules by @RandA and @USGA

Maybe there should be professional rules and amateur rules because I'm not getting a good vibe about some of these proposed changes

I hope the @RandA & @USGA now stop these books we can buy. Too much time is wasted trying to work out the line of the putt. Speed up play. pic.twitter.com/PEk0YlicIJ

@LukeDonald @IanJamesPoulter
Yes, but then they're going to allow us to repair spike damage on greens! That WON'T speed up play!!"— Justin Rose (@JustinRose99) 1 mars 2017
Happy to see @USGA trying to simplify the rules and make the game more enjoyable.

Agree with this. Some rules good, others not crazy about ( fixing spike marks will be abused, grounding club in bunkers) https://t.co/egpjlRm6V9

Lots of thought & hard work by @USGA and @RandA to modernize our rules. Great work to benefit the game.

@GolfweekNichols I disagree! Lining players up has nothing to do with pace of play. I get 40 sec I should be able to do what I want
— Brittany Lincicome (@Brittany1golf) 1 mars 2017
@ronsirak @LPGA I totally disagree. I'm a VERY fast player and I get lined up. I really need that! That's not the reason everyone is slow!
— Brittany Lincicome (@Brittany1golf) 1 mars 2017
@Karrie_Webb I'm sorry but I need it. And I'm fast. That's not the Reason people are slow
