The privileges Of donor and recipient OF
blsoues Ire not az we'll understood as ordinary
handicappng. This query Ia in the order OF
many received:
A plays B an eighteen hole golf match. giving
him nine optional strokes as bisques. no moro
than one to be taken At any ono hole. At the
eighteenth hole they are all square. having used
eight strokes comedies that Ia entitled to
stroke on the nineteenth and gives II. wins tho
nineteenth hole and claims the match claims
he was entitled to play another hole. Who Is cor
rect! Also please express opinion a. TO whether
B would have been entitled to any bsoue on the
extra hole II he already taken his nine.
A and r. evidently with the best OF inten-
tions. were working at cross purposes. The
match ended all square. 1t is granted. on the
home green. Whether r had used up mis-
blsoues, or had still one. two or the entire
nine up his sleeve had nothing to do with
the case" u not satisfied to finish all square
the rule regarding ties at handicap match
plav should then have been appealed to- and
although 1t does not mention bisaues the two
might have come to an agreement to make
certain extra holes "a fairly proportionate
represe entation Of the round. This rule was
not consulted. 1t would seem. but instead A
offered the generous concession OF stroke
on the nineteenth hole. That b set out to
plav the extra hole would indicate an accep-
ance of the new contract. must therefore
be decided the winner OF the match.
