Anyone who's potentially lost a golf ball would like enough time to find it. The rules used to allow 5 minutes to search for a lost ball.

Which doesn't seem like a long time...unless you're in the group behind the ones searching for the ball.

Effective this year the amount of time allotted to search for a lost ball has changed. In this video the SCGA Rules Crew explains the new rules regarding time for search outlined in Rule 18.2a

Old habits do die hard, and when the powers that be renamed 'hazards' as 'penalty areas' and what we can do in there - legally - some of us are still confused.

Fortunately the SCGA Rules Crew is here to help us once again.

With golf's new rules fully in effect for some 6 months now, we felt it might be a good time for a couple of refresher videos starting with the new Drop Rule.

The SCGA Rules Crew once again are here to help us in our understanding of the rules.

European Tour Originals presents the 'Chase The Ace Hole-In-One Challenge', episode 3. How many balls would it take a professional golfer to make a hole-in-one?

The odds of an average golfer making an ace are roughly one in 100,000, while stats suggest a European Tour pro's chances are closer to one in 2,500. Introducing Andy Sullivan...

In the Good, Bad & Unusual, Teryn Gregson recaps the 2019 PLAYERS Championship, where Irishman Rory McIlroy won on St. Patrick’s Day, the luck extended to Jhonny Vegas who recorded the longest putt in Island Green history and Tiger Woods’ funny moment with Kevin Na at 17.

From 'Beef' changing his pants right in front of the grandstand, to Padraig Harrington desperately trying to get the cameraman to look away as he heads for a 'break' in the bushes, we take a look back through the year at the top 10 moments which made us laugh the most during the 2018 European Tour season.

Tommy Morrissey was born with only one arm. That, however, has not stopped him from playing sports and playing them well. 

Morrissey, who has already achieved a degree of national fame in his native USA through his appearance at PGA TOUR events like the Shriner's Classic, also plays baseball and has hit his share of home runs for his team.

This particular video is from the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando in 2017 when Morrissey was six years old, but young Tommy has continued to prove he not only belongs on the playing field with other 'able-bodied' youngsters, but that he can excel as well. And he has dreams and aspirations like most kids, including wanting to be a golf pro. Oh, and play in the NFL. And drive in NASCAR.

Here, we see him being interviewed by Matt Fisher of AmateurGolf.com and taking him on in a target challenge at the show's driving range.

In the ongoing evolution of the 'new Tiger'...we present the latest commercial he's a part of with golf's acknowledged techno-guru, Bryson DeChambeau, as they debate which is more important, Distance or Straight? 

We're impressed with Tiger's more personable demeanor at this stage of his career. Obviously there's direction involved but full credit should go to Tiger for his buy-in and exection in front of the camera. 

Both of them do a nice job of playing their role and make it a very entertaining ad.

During the last few months ex-Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has made an even bigger name for himself with some of his uncanny play predictions during NFL TV broadcasts. Many fans are aware that Romo is also an extremely fine golfer, sporting a +0.3 handicap.

Romo may have added to his recent upgrade in notoriety by hitting a shot Seve would have been proud of in the 2nd round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at the par-4 15th hole.

Not to be totally outdone, listen as commentator and 6-time Major Champion Sir Nick Faldo almost calls the shot before Romo executes it.

Some of the new Rules of Golf appear to have confused people.

This may help, a video highlighting the main changes with the new 2019 Rules of Golf.

In this first 2019 version of The PGA TOUR's The Good, Bad & Unusual, Teryn Gregson recaps the Sentry Tournament of Champions, where Xander Schauffele’s clutch final round performance made him the first multiple-winner of the season.

Golfers shared their New Year’s Resolutions and tried to navigate the new rules changes with some pretty unusual moments.

In the Best of The Good, Bad & Unusual of 2018, PGA TOUR golf host Teryn Gregson recaps the most memorable, funny and weird moments of the year.

 Highlights include Tiger Woods’ comeback season, his mob of fans, Phil Mickelson’s dance phase, gators on the course and Ian Poulter’s hilarious audible.

Scotland's Russell Knox might have won the 2018 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open in dramatic fashion this past summer, but not every shot he took went quite where he intended...

Knox had just finished eating an apple and was intending to toss the core into the long gorse surrounding the green, when something caught his eye...and apparently his aim. Watch.

Okay, most golfers have heard the phrase, "It's not how...it's how many," or "There's no pictures on the scorecard," when it comes to getting a result in a game of golf despite what may be less than exemplary methods. 

South Korean golf professional Ho-Sung Choi has created a new standard. His incredibly unique 'golf swing' has just enabled him to capture the Casio World Open on the Japan Golf Tour. It's actually his 2nd win on the tour but now people are starting to notice. Choi needs to be in a major...soon.

Just watch.

Of course the game of golf has gone through many changes over the years, quite notably the evolution of equipment. So how would today's top players fair having to hit a seemingly benign 180-yard shot - normally a 7-iron as Rickie Fowler put it, if they had to choose from only an array of old hickory-shafted clubs? 

Some not too bad...others, well, let's say they likely now have a greater appreciation for today's modern equipment. 

8-year old Dean Janssens tee'd up in the 2018 KLM Open in the Beat the Pros competition, and it's safe to say he stole the show.

An invitation is a simple yet powerful way to show someone they belong....

Golf fans will recall the hue and cry that accompanied the 2015 U.S. Open Championship held at Chambers Bay Golf Course just outside of Seattle. The condition of the greens was a widely talked about sore point with many of the players, media and fans alike. 

The good people at Chambers Bay heard those complaints and they are doing something about it in advance of the next championship they will host, the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship,originally scheduled to be held there in 2019,which will now happen in 2021 instead,moving to Bandon Dunesin Oregon for next year.

Watch this video to learn more about the decision to switch from all-fescue to poa greens at Chambers Bay GC and what it means for course conditions for hosting the 2021 U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship. You'll hear from Matt Allen and Eric Johnson with Chambers Bay, and Larry Gilhuly with the USGA.

Many of us are familiar with having a golf ball interfered with during the course of play by an 'outside agency' (see Rule 18-1). In this video you'll see another example of the many unknowns that await us during a round of golf.

Some may recall a song from the 1970's (1974, to be exact) called Fox On The Run by Sweet - well here's the golf video tribute to that tune. 

Having watched Tiger Woods leave a putt virtually staring down into the hole and not drop for him in Sunday's final round of the PGA Championship...unlike his famous slow-motion chip-in at the 2005 Masters on the 16th...we felt it might be time to revisit this SCGA Rules Crew video on that very situation.

We've all seen either on TV or in our own experience the putt that stops right on the edge of the hole and defies gravity as it stares down into the bottom of the cup, refusing to drop. And every once in a while, if you wait just long enough, it does eventually do just that. 

Problem is...how long is too long, when it comes to taking a rather delayed route to your ball before admitting that it's going to take one more stroke to finish the hole?

The SCGA Rules crew addresses that situation in the following video.
