Adam Scott calls new rules a 'laughingstock'

Much has been spoken about the new rules changes that took affect this year, and Adam Scott is the latest to add to a growing list of complaints.

In an interview with the New York Times, Scott aired out his frustrations and said golf is "becoming the laughingstock."

One of the most scrutinized new rules is the height from which players take a penalty drop. The old rule had players drop from shoulder height, but under the current rule, players must now drop from the knees, something that Scott described as awkward.
