1t is feared that local golfers are grow
ing rather careless with respect to golf
etiquette when the home and home
matches are being played over their
links. No less than two visitors in re-
cent matches have been heard to COM
ment to this effect. In the first place,
these matches are always given the right
of way. and, this being the case. players
after allowing a match to pass them
should not play from the tee until the
party il front have played their second
strokes and are out of range: nor should
they play UP TO the putting green until
the party in front have holed out and
moved away. Rule ) under Etiquette
of Golf has also been violated on nu-
merous occasions. 1t is: Players look
ing for a lost ball should allow other
matches coming up to pass them. They
should signal to the players following
them to pass, and. having given such
signal, they should not continue their
play until these players have passed and
are out of reach
