Read with interest the Nudgee drama at the Champs.

Then saw this.

"Ball in Hazard; Prohibited Actions (Rule 13-4). Exception 2 to this Rule is amended to permit a player to smooth sand or soil in a hazard at any time, including before playing from that hazard, provided it is for the sole purpose of caring for the course and Rule 13-2 (improving lie, area of intended stance or swing or line of play) is not breached. "

New rules for 2012 but the best being no penalty if ball moved by gust of wind after address. Good to know if playing in a windy course.
