Golf Rules 2019 – What’s new with accidental mishits?

Golf Rules New with Accidental Mishits

Ball hits the player or equipment (Rule 11)

Previously, a penalty stroke was incurred if the player hit himself or his own equipment.

Now, this is without penalty provided it happened accidentally.

Good to know: You are therefore not allowed to use your equipment or your foot as a ball stopper.

Double hit (Rule 10)

Previously, a penalty stroke was incurred if the club got stuck when a stroke was played and, as a result, the ball was hit more than once.

Now, a mishap such as this is without penalty.

Good to know: A double hit therefore just counts as one stroke.  Golf Rules New with Accidental Mishits

    Is there a penalty for using the back side of a putter i.e. blade played backhand when there is little or no backswing room to flick or fling the ball forward or to another position?
