I hate the no re-throw rule. Allows people to improve their lie for a stroke. No bueno.

I support a stand and deliver rule banning fairway runups. You don't get to spike a tee in the ground in ball golf, driving is different than subsequent shots.
BUT I actually like the wide line rule. There are two kinds of foot faults; ones that happen to be foot faults and ones that improve the lie. How often are people running up and improving their lie by missing 3" to one side? Not very often at all. Usually it is a mistake if the miss is that small. For those that actually improved their lie we are talking a foot at least.
To me this rule makes me disregard the ones where players run up and happen to miss their line without a real impact on play. It also gives an immediate penalty to those that take a lie improving foot fault.

Would a rules committee with 30,000 members be more effective? That's what you'd have if every idea and debate were open to everyone.
It's a cycle, so the upcoming release IS the chance for everyone to hammer at them and then the cracks could be fixed for 2019. That's not much less time than it would take to fix the cracks "before" a release.

Thank goodness for gravity!Falling putts are legal in PGA.

At any rate, I'm not exactly sure why your knees can't handle a stationary throw, maybe you need some form lessons?
initial question:
does an "abandoned" throw still count? or is this a softer version of optional rethrow? (hopefully the former)
A player may take free optional relief (back along the line of play) when placing the lie after taking a penalty for OB or above two meters.

A throw that travels less than 5 meters in the air to return a disc to a player or your bag is not a practice throw. That is awesomesauce. Now I can pitch my disc to my caddy without someone getting all butthurt now. =)
Yea, there are a couple holes around here, with either creeks or roads, where I can see gaining an advantage by moving back to make room to clear trees, signs, cars, etc.Whoa. I can certainly take advantage of this when stuck up a tree though I think it breaks the spirit of playing where it lies.
Most of our trees are in clusters. If it get stuck and take a 2 meter penalty, chances are I'm in the middle of a group of trees and throwing through them is usually not an attractive line. Backing up would be very helpful.Yea, there are a couple holes around here, with either creeks or roads, where I can see gaining an advantage by moving back to make room to clear trees, signs, cars, etc.

If foot faults are played as-is with a one stroke penalty, I can go way off line to get a better look or better run-up for a stroke penalty.
That being said I could just pitch my disc over a couple of feet for the same effect...
Maybe I don't hate the no re-throw rule all that much.
