Behr has made a study of the whole
muddled situation that has come about
through rulings by the ruling powers of
golf, tennis and kindred sports.
After clear-cut argument TO back
Behr up his finding in the what is-and

following rule as an amendment to the
existing law governing golf professionalism:
"a proiessIonaI golfer Is one who accepts. di-
its equivalent as n consideration for playing

Behr then outlines what he. thinks IS
proper conduct for amateurs in the follow

be construed as captalizing knowledge gained
