So I was reading an article that highlights the changes to the rules for 2008...
here are some highlights:
a) Playing the wrong ball from a hazard used to result in no penalty but now it's a 2 stroke penalty or loss of hole in match play. SO BE SURE THATS YOUR BALL BEFORE YOU SWING!
b) If you hit a shot from a bunker and your ball lands in the same bunker, you can rake the area from the previous shot provided you're not improving your lie for the new shot or testing the surface
c) If you accidently move a ball while searching for it in an obtruction (artificial object like a cart path) there is no penalty
d) Whether its attended or lying down, you can now move a flagstick when the ball is in motion.
There are more but several are clarifications or didn't seem like much change.
