Rules Question

One of the recent changes to the rules of golf: You are now permitted to lift your ball for identification when in a hazard, same as
allowed through the green in the past.
Playing a wrong ball from a hazard is now a 2 stroke penalty in stroke play and loss of hole in match play.

Golf Tip

To improve you’re putting, line up your putts using your dominant eye. To find your dominant eye, put a coin on the floor, and then make a circle with your thumb and index finger, and place the circle above the coin at waist level. Kook through the circle at the coin,  taking turns covering your left eye and right eye. The uncovered eye that causes the coin to move out of the circle is your dominant eye.
