I was playing my second on a par 5 the other day in a match. I addressed the ball, hadn't touched it but ball moved about 9", it was on a slope. I called a penalty on myself and played on. New rules suggest that it is now no longer a penalty, that you play next shot from where it lies. Apparently it is not just on the putting green. It is a little unclear and confusing with the R&A, has the USGA changed the rule as well?
