If you’re in a pickle on the course, if there’s someone you think isn’t playing to the letter of the law, why not call on golf’s newest crime-fighting duo to deliver some swift justice?

Meet Rules Squad. They’re meaner than a Tyrrell Hatton tantrum and are the stars of our light-hearted, and probably not very accurate, look at some of the changes that came into place at the start of 2019.

So watch out everybody, this golf buggy doesn’t have any brakes…
