Still jogging up to pull the flag before every putt? You don't have to anymore.

Since 2019, the Rules of Golf let you putt with the flagstick left in the hole, no penalty if your ball hits it. On longer putts it gives you a clean target and can even act as a backstop for a hot roll. On shorter ones, it's entirely your call.

The only rule that matters: decide before you strike, and don't touch the stick once the ball is moving.

Rainy season is here, and that means puddles, plugged balls, and the occasional horn blast across the course. Do you actually know what you're entitled to when the weather turns?

3 rules every golfer should know for rainy season: you get free relief from a puddle (officially called temporary water), you get free relief if your ball plugs into its own pitch-mark anywhere outside a bunker or penalty area, and one long horn blast means stop play immediately and head for shelter, no exceptions.

Knowing these rules doesn't just protect your score, it protects you. Play smart when the clouds roll in.

Quick check before your next round: how does your glove actually fit?

Most golfers put it on once and forget it — but a glove that's too loose changes your grip pressure and feel, especially on delicate shots like chips and putts near the green. A snug wrist strap and a fit that reaches your fingertips make a real difference, especially once the heat stretches things out mid-round.

3 things to check before every round:
1. Snug wrist strap, not loose
2. Fit should reach your fingertips
3. Check it again after the front nine — heat loosens it fast

See how far that club goes past parallel? That's an overswing, and it's one of the most common power leaks in golf. It feels like more shoulder turn means more distance, but past a certain point you're just losing control, not gaining yards.

3 keys to a controlled backswing: stop the club at or before parallel instead of letting it collapse past your shoulder, keep your lead arm firm through the top instead of letting it fold, and let tempo, not extra length, generate your power.

A shorter, connected backswing gets the club back to the ball on time, on plane, and with speed you can actually control. Long and loose costs you way more than it gives.

See that? That is not balanced. A finish like this, stumbling forward or falling off your spot, isn't a strength problem, it's a balance problem, and it's usually the first thing to break down when timing goes off.

3 keys to a balanced swing: keep your head steady through the strike instead of chasing the ball with it, finish with your weight fully on your front foot, and practice one-legged swings to build the stability that carries into every club in the bag.

A balanced finish isn't just good form, it's proof that everything before it happened in the right order. Fix the balance and the consistency tends to follow.

Ball buried under a tree, hero shot calling your name? Put the fairway wood away. That one swing decision is where most big numbers on the scorecard actually start.

3 keys to smart recovery shots: take the club that realistically gets you back to the fairway, punch the ball out low under the branches instead of trying to clear them, and aim for the fairway, not the flag.

Taking your medicine isn't glamorous, but it turns a potential double or triple into a manageable bogey. Save the highlight-reel shots for when the lie actually allows it.

Ever leave a 40-footer six feet short, or blast it eight feet past? Chasing a perfect line before you've dialed in your speed is usually the culprit.

3 keys to two-putting every green: focus on speed first and let the line follow, leave uphill putts below the hole so you're never fighting gravity on the comebacker, and remember that two putts from anywhere on the green is a win, not a miss.

Lag putting isn't glamorous, but it's one of the fastest ways to shave strokes off your round. Aim for the two-putt, every time.
