The USGA and R&A have announced a list of proposed changes that would go into effect starting in 2019.
There's more, but those are the ones that stood out to me.-It'll be OK to putt and leave the flagstick in the hole.
-It'll be OK to remove loose impediments in bunkers.
-No more using caddies to help in player alignment.
-Three minutes to look for a lost ball, not five.
-Range finders are OK at any level of play.
