L -Friday,' : Juiwr3; 1821 Golf Column Players Are Too Lax In,Observing The Rules—Some Comments On. Regulations It ia safe to say that not ono l golfer ’in a hundred ''knows or observes the rules or etiquette of the game where at leust ninety-nine of the hundred should/ One of the unfortunate features of the game is the complexity of the rules. There are ‘different rules bearing on the same thing and It does not always seem that~they‘ ugree Playeis would find that they would enjoy the, game more if they tried to play according .to the standard laid down for them There is always a rea ' son' for rules and a very good one, and that is why they have been made. Just as every other well known game has its standards of play* which are observed in all parts of the country so should golf If the rules were nationally ob " served in golf - everybody would bo benefltted'"in enjoying the links" game more thoroughly ■ As stated above,’many of tne laws of the game seem confusing and complex lng For this reason some Interpreta tions of thu rules are here given for those who' arc now ait the game and for others who have hcen playing for some time but who have failed to ob serve them. This will apply to many Penn State golfers, since a laxity of the rules Is found on the Blue and White course The right to start for the first hole, . of course, is given In the order which the players have arrived at,the teeing ground JVhile waiting their turns to start many will tako out their clubs to swing and practice. Care should be taken In such cases to draw far enough away from the teeing ground to In no way Interfere with others driving Strict etiquette forblds>speak- Ing or moving while another is driving. On the teeing ground will >be found two discs, malting a line at right angles to the line of play. In the space within two club longths behind these discs the player may tee up his ball In anyman ’ner which will be most advantageous to his play A person should not tee up until his opponent has played, If he has the honor. A. party should not st.u t to play until those ahead of them are all out of ‘range, no matter how many strokes they have played. It Is customary to let those ahead always play their sec ond shots before starting, even if their drives are far beyond the possibility of the player who is about to 'drive If those ahead have lost the boll, those behind have a right to play thru If those who have lost the ball know the rules, they will signal the others to come through. If they do not offer to allow others to pass, it is proper to call “‘fore” to attract their attention be fore going thru. If a player drives out of bounds from the tee, he may tee another ball at once and play again, counting thin as his second stroke. However, If he is not-sure that the drive baa” actually gone’out of bounds, he must search five mlnutes’bcfore coming; to.this dcelslon On-the "fair Green .'When the player has gone from the tee and the ball has fallen on the fair greens .there ore other < rules which come Into effect. The boll in all cases must be fairly struck 'with the head of tho club and not pushed, scraped nor spooned. The player whose ball Is the farthest from the hole has the right to play first. Others should always observe where the balls are situated so that-they may know the order of Play. One should always make sure that the ball he Is about to play Is his own.
