Through the Green Priority on the course
is now a rule; in the old rules it was i Deluded
in etiquette. VJ ;
It is rew (4) to have the line of play indi
cated. . .
Ball when dropped to be dropped over
sboulder (8): old requirement (15) was to drop
from behind head while facing the hole.
Ball maybe lifted for identification (91);
former penalty loss of the hole.
Ball in hazard (91) moved by opponent's
ball may be dropped; nothing about this possi
bility in old rules. , .
Exciptat tee (15) no preliminary swing is
allowed, as nothing can be moved, bent or
broken before striking at the ball. Old rule (11)
nothing " near ball " moved, bent or broken.
I'Uylng oopouent's ball (20) through wrong
informatlon.'drop a ball. OldjBtyle (29) rectllied
by placing a ball.
Sand may be removed (22) to see top of ball,
and if ball is touched in so doing there is no
penalty. Old code (31) ball in sand, the sand
shall not be touched": penalty, two strokes or
loss of hole.
No penalty (22) for touching or moving op
ponent's ball if looking for It in grass, etc.
Backwardjview, rule 23, penalty, loss of hole.
Tee a ball when a ball is played out of bounds
from tee. Ancient custom (32; drop a ball on
tee or elsewhere.
An enforced five minutes before deciding a
ball is out of bounds (a sub-rule) and before
playing, a player has the right to ascertain if his
opponent's ball Is out of bounds.
When a ball is unfit for play (24)jdrop a ball
where any piece lies. Old (34) drop a ball
wherejlargest portion Hep."
If in a running stream or pond, player must
not wait (2b) until current or wind " better posl
tion of the ball." Utterly new ruling.
About Tutting Ball on putting green (27)
in or behind casual water, may be placed two
club lengths behind or to one side of the water
Old maxim " may be placed behind the water.'1
Line of putt (28) to be " scraped aside with
club only." This stops (18) " brushing lightly
with the hand only across the putt."
Drastic and original are these new rules : " A
player may (29) have his own caddie stand at
the hole " and also either t layer " may refuse to
allow a person who is not engaged in the match
to stand at the hole."
To play on the putting green (30) before op
ponent's ball is at rest Incurs the loss of the
hole. The penalty formerly was one stroke.
Ball on Hp of cup after opponent has holed
out must be played in ordinary ti tie necessary
to make the stroke. New.
Claim on any point must be made before strik
ing off from next tee or leaving last green.
" Some of the changes are very good,
but I object to several for the reason they
open the door to improving the lie of the
ball, consciously or unconsciously,"
criticised the Westerner. 11 To drop the
ball over the shoulder will bring gym
nasties into the game so as to drop in
the best place. Two more of the same
kidney are those to remove sand to see
top of ball and the right to lift for iden
tification. Who, no matter how care
f ully.he replaces a ball, will give him
self a bad lie? That this lifting may be
only with the opponent's consent does
not change matters, foi such permissions
are always granted. It is possible under
this identification clause that two un
scrupulous players such combinations
have been heard of at tournaments
might lift a ball whenever it is profit
able to do so."
"All your points are well taken," the
Shinnecock Indian added, "for anything
that gives an opportunity to those foes
of honest golfers, the conniving mug
hunters, is bad law."
"On the other hand, it is a wise rule
not to penalize a player who moves or
touches an opponent's ball when looking
for it in long grass," the Westerner con
tinued. "A ball in long grass is usually :
found by stepping on it, to the discom. .
fiture of the player until the framing of
this new rule. Also very wise is the per
mission to place aside from casual waters
on the putting green." . ;
'The last seems good," was the retort. I
"Yet, as inlifting for identification, there
is always danger in permitting the moving; ,
of a ball in play. It is somestimes hard:
to define what is casual water.. Often
there may be orily a cupful, yet in the
line of the putt and therefore to be con
demned even though the opponent pro-"
tests. A player i who has a difficult
downhill putt to negotiate may almost be
excused if he magnifies dew drops into a
pool, so that by moving two club lengths
he may gain a nice uphill putt. His op
ponent again protest and I foresee many
arguments over this matter."
"In the true spirit of the game are the
special recommendations for match
play," continued the Wheaton chap. "To
compel the playing of stiniies, to forbid
the waiving of a penalty incurred by an
opponent, to forbid the exclusion of any
regular or local rule and to recommend
that putts be not conceded are all factors,
to better the game."
"Now let me read a comparison of the
new and old rules for stroke or medal,
play competition."
The Shinnecock Hills golfer then read
this summary :
Outside limits of teeing grounds (7) tee an
other ball and play second stroke. Old penalty
disqualification.
Playing two successive strokes with wrong
ball (8), disqualification. Formerly if mistake
was discovered before driving from next tee the
player went back and played his own ball with-,
out penalty.
But if wrong ball is played out of hazard (S)
and it is discovered before a stroke is played
with the wrong ball outside limits of hazard, no
penalty if player then plaj s his own ball. New.
A player may lift his ball (11) for identifica
tion in the presence of his opponent. Former'
penalty two strokes.
Ball cannot be considered lost (12) until a
search of five minutes has been made for it.
Formerly "lost if It be not found within five min
utes after search for it Is begun."
Must search for ball (13) if there is a question
about its being out of bounds and a second ball
has been played. Penalty disqualification and.
rule wholly new.
Within twenty yards of hole, striking flag
stick, etc., penalty of two strokes instead of one..
"Well," cried one, "a good thing in the
etiquette code is that three or four ball
matches may be passed whether holding
place on the course or not."
AND THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID.
"Now the poinfs just here," began the
spokesman, helping himself to an edito
rial cigar and lighting it regardless of
consequences, "this only tells half the
story part of the time, and in others, its
positively misleading.
"Already players here are trotting
over the course with the clipping in their
hands, and we insist that you straighten,
matters out.
"Take, for instance, the first crack out
of the box which is dead wrong :
" 'Priority on the course is now a rule; In the
old rules it was included in etiquette.'
"This has always been a rule, see defi
nition A.
"Paragraph number two is also wrong ::
It is new (4) to have the line of play indi
cated.'
