Jack Nicklaus believes golf's new knee-high drop rule will be changed
Jack Nicklaus joins Rickie Fowler, Bryson DeChambeau and Jordan Spieth in calling for golf drop amendment.
Jack Nicklaus has joined the likes of Rickie Fowler, Bryson DeChambeau and Jordan Spieth in calling for a quick amendment to golf's new 'knee-high drop' rule that came into effect this season.
Nicklaus applauds the rest of the changes made by the USGA and R&A as part of moderning the game of golf, with many brought into play in a bid to help speed up the game.
But the record 18-time major champion has voiced his displeasure with one rule in particular, that being the new 'knee-high drop'.
"I think they’ll change the drop-it-from-knee-height rule," said Nicklaus.
"It looks silly. How about ‘Anywhere between the knee and the waist'”?
