New Rule 14-1b effective Jan. 1, 2016

It was announced that anchoring the club in making a stroke will be banned effective Jan. 1, 2016. New Rule 14-1b means that players who use a belly putter or long putter will no longer be able to hold the butt end of the club against their bodies while making a stroke, although the clubs will still be allowed -- provided they are not anchored.
