More golf rules from Fred

Sheriffs Blog 30/11/2018. Rule 7.4 covers the accidental moving of the ball during a search or identification. Provided the ball is replaced to its original or estimated original position there is no penalty for moving the ball, breaching this rule however does earns a general penalty.
Rule 10.1b covers the anchoring the club, except anchoring a club against the forearm a player  shall not anchor a club against any part of the body nor indirectly by anchoring a forearm against the body to create a stable point for the swing.
Rule 13.2a covers leaving the flagstick in the hole. This rule gives the player an option to leave the flagstick in the hole when putting.
However this rule requires a good read as there are new situations which will give a player penalty strokes avoidable if the player sticks to their choice to {1} leave the flagstick in the hole; {2} have the flag attended; or {3} have the flag removed
