THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK
"The fact of the matter is you could
always have the line indicated, but no
longer can the c addy indicate it by stand
ing there during play.
"Drop down a couple paragraphs and
you find :
" 'Ball may be lifted for indentlflcatlon (91) ;
former penalty loss of hole.'
"As a matter of fact the former penalty
-was a stroke, and the opponent's con
sent being necessary under both old and
new rules.
"Third in line is another error in that
it neglects to state that the player must
stand erect when dropping a ball. This
does away with any possibility of 'gym
nastics.' "The rule about preliminary swings is
misleading because a player may swing
.at any time so long as he does not 'move,
bend or break anything fixed or grow
ing.' "The paragraph concerning the re
moval of sand is misleading :
" 'Sand may be removed (22) to see top of ball,
.and if ball is touched in so doing there is no pen
alty. Old code (31) ball in sand, 'the ball shall
not be touched': penalty, two strokes or loss of
hole.'
"This is what the rule actually says :
41 'If a ball be completely covered by sand only
.60 much thereof may be removed as will permit
the player to see the top of the ball.'
"Previously there' was no rule cover
ing this, as the article states.
"Under 'about putting,' the opening
paragraph about a ball on the putting
green in or behind casual water is wrong.
The ball may be placed two club's length
behind but there is nothing in the new
rules about placing the ball two club's
length to one side. Head the rule again !
further the old rule says must not may.
"In the next paragraph you find.
" 'Line of putt to be 'scraped aside (28) with
club only'. This stops 'brushing lightly with the
hand only across the putt.'
"This is decidedly misleading in that
jou can't touch the line of putt at all
except in the act of only placing the club
in front while addressing the ball, when
the club may be placed directly in front
or behind it and in the act of removing
ice, snow, dung or worm casts ; penalty,
loss of hole for otherwise using club on
line of putt.
"Then there's a conflict between Rule
31 (Sec. 2) and Special Rule I for match
play competitions.
"The former says :
"'On the putting green, if a player plays when
his opponent should have played, the stroke may
-at once be recalled by the opponent and the ball
replaced.'
"The latter:
" 'On the putting green, if a cempetitor whose
ball is nearer to the hole play first, his ball shall
at once be replaced under penalty of the dis
qualification of both competitors.
"It will be readily seen that the first
is optional, the latter compulsory, and to
-an extent which means disqualification of
both players.
" 'Which rule holds?' The special, nat
orally, killing the other.
"You might also mention the fact that
the new match play rule loses the hole
for the player who plays the wrong ball
ind fails to discover and notify his op
ponent before he plays his next stroke."
There was a shuffle of feet, and the
sound of voices grew fainter until it
-ceased with closing of the big door at the
