Extreme Golf - is the way to go!

So Golf against the clock plus much MUCH more!

What this looks like...

1 - You are against the clock to hit your ball when you arrive at it, you have 10 seconds once you pick your club.

2 - The whole round is against the clock and scored, you get more points the quicker you finish, so you need to sprint to your ball after each shot and to each hole, no slowly walking to the next tee off.

3 - Also you must carry your golf clubs in a spacial bag on your back which allows you to sprint full out!

4 - The games take place during extreme weather so in the desert, in snow etc

This would be super interesting, fun and survival of the fittest!

A rule I would change is playing advantage after a foul in football.

At the moment the referee could play advantage and a second later that team loses the ball and the game carries on. My change would be to have a set time where the referee can bring the play back if the fouled team lose the ball. There could be a caveat where if the fouled team kick the ball out of play themselves the advantage would be lost.

A second rule I would like changing in football would be to bring across Rugby's penalty try. This is when a team would definitely score but something happened (like a hand ball on the line) to stop the ball crossing the line. At the moment it creates a penalty but the problem with that is the penalty could be saved whereas the initial chance couldn't. The example I will use is Luis Suarez in the world cup hand balled on purpose to stop the goal knowing he would get sent off but giving his team a chance to save the penalty, the opposition ending up missing the penalty and Luis Suarez was the hero.

I would change the offside rule in football. The player who receives the ball to be offside should be completely in front of the last defender, this would increase the spectacle and prevent seeing goals disallowed for millimetric offsides.

Key points:

Proposed change to offside rule

The player receiving the ball should be completely in front of the last defender to be considered offside, rather than the current rule where any part of the body in front of the defender is offside.

Benefits of the proposed change

1. Increased spectacle: This would allow for more goals and exciting attacking play, as fewer goals would be disallowed for tight offside calls.

2. Avoid disallowed "millimetric" offsides: The current rule leads to many goals being ruled out due to marginal offside positions, which can be frustrating for fans. The proposed change would eliminate these types of decisions.

Overall, this change could make the game more entertaining and reduce controversial offside calls, while still maintaining the core principle of the offside rule.

In the NBA rule number 5 section VI should be altered to remove mandatory timeouts. mandatory timeouts were implemented as a way of ensuring time for a commercial break during the broadcast of NBA games. While I understand the financial need, these types of timeouts in general are a huge intrusion into the game and remove a great deal of flexibility and tactical thinking.

Normal timeouts are 1 minute 15 seconds while during a nationally televised game, the mandatory timeout is 3 minutes 15 seconds. Compared to college ball the NBA already has too many breaks. Of course, you get to see star athletes play longer due to the pacing and more rest, but the flow of the game is greatly interrupted. With 30-second timeouts gone, it feels as if I'm constantly watching sideshows like the lady who spins plates or some 90's rap group when I'm at the stadium rather than a basketball game.

I go to games to watch basketball, yet the current mandatory timeout rule is starting the slide of making the NBA more like WWE.

My suggestion would be a Dunce hat for 10 minutes for any footballer penalised for simulation during a match. After 10 minutes the gat comes off or if another player is penalised within the 10 minutes then it passes straight to them.

With footballers being very worried about their appearance, maybe it will help reduce the blight of diving on the beautiful game!
