GOLFERS KNOW LITTLE ,. !
OF RULES OF THE GAME
Most of Them Will Not Take Time, or Trouble to Learn
the Laws That Gpvern the Royal and
Ancient Sport
By WILLIAM
0"
E of these days the golf rules will
Association will not do It on Its own re
sponsibility. A former president has
stated that nothing will be done until
the Ttules of dolf Committee of the
Royal and Ancient Golf rlub of St. An
drews can be consulted, which will not be
till nftcr the war And when that time
comes It is hoped that the rules will be
rewritten and the phraseology of tho
rules changed so that a petsou reading
them will be able to grasp the meaning
at n glance Instead of being obliged to
read the rules over and over again. The
rules lack clarity. We can get more
thaji one meaning frDin most of them,
and the lesult of this has been countless
arguments, simply because the particular
rule Is not counched In understandable
English
The Lost Ball Rule
First of all. the: lost ball rule will be
without question changed, and Instead
of the pen tlty of losing the hole In
match play we will be able to plav an
other ball fn tht loss of a stroke Most
of us think the stymie ought to go by
the board The groit mass of golfers do
not like the stymie. In many clubs It Is
absolutely Ignorad But there will be
greater difficulty In diinlnatlng the
stvmie from golf than In adjusting the
diffuences between a lost bill In match
and incdnl play.
Then If the rules tre rewritten and
In language that anv plaver cin undei
stand without the assistance of n Phila
delphia lawyer the plavers will take
enough time to familiarize themselves
with them
There are so many new players on the
c"urse novvadavs that It Is very notice
able at every club Few of them know
Innythlng abjut the rules of courtesy of
sthe game, simply because they have not
taken the time or'trouble to read them
' And, worse than that, most of the new
comers arc not familiar with tlie
I phoniest llllprt of th ir.inip Tliev think
nothing of putting their foot back of the
ball In qrder to get a good He, they
Fole their clubs In the bunkers, the
pull up things growing that Interfere
with theh shots and they break virtu
ally eveiy rule In the golf book simply
because they do not know they are
bieaklng rules
What Do You Think of This?
At one of the clubs yesterday a player
saw one of thee'o new plavers approach
to another green Then he calmly took
out his brassey and was Just abeut to
hit the ball when the oldci player veiled
1 nt him The beginner waited until the
I other plaver had ltin over to him nnd
he learned to his surprise that greens
were not Intended to be used as tees
Golfers who liave plaved many years
break rules every time trey play a
round. They will not cheat intentionally.
They are simply careless and will not

In their head They press tho ground
I back of their ball, they pick anything

they sole the.r clubs In bunkers and
I other hazards, Uey drop balls improp
1 erly and they do a lot of other things
that mo not light
j .Jack Hoag writes golf for one of the
Chliaso papers and he tells a story of
la mitch In which a Judge played and
in which he broke any number of golf

sportsmanship which Is violated tha
man who breaks either becomes an out
law from good society and Is ostracized
by gentlemen It seems to me that
many of jour golfers are not college
men, and It Is this lack of sporting
training which Is responsible for such
Ignorance of the golfing law as we have
seen today. You should do what ou
can to educate thesfe men so that they
will have some veneration for law and
some real love of 'sport for sport's
sake.'
'Great cats! but that was a hot one,"
says Hoag, "and he handed It to us Just
like that, and the worst of It was that
there was nothing we could say In de
fense, uf course, the Judge and hla
partner did not represent the rank and
file of our golfers, but there Is altogether
too much of this 'gentlemen's game'
stuff nt.nll of our clubs, and, boys, right
down at the heart of things the captain
was right, and It's time that we took
a good look at our Individual selves
and conected a few of our golfing
habits"
