NEW YORK, Oct "A most unusual
! Npoint in connection with the rules
OF the game has been brought to the
attention Of the United States Golf
association and has had that body
guessing. It deals with a player one
up at the time, who sliced his bali, a
new enc. TO the rough, plays out and
eventually halves the hole, which
leaves him q winner Of the match and
tournament by 1 up. A week or so
later he discovers that the ball he
played from the rough was not his.
What's the answer The letter con-
tanning the facts reads this way:
viii you let me know whether a
ruling has been made by the golf as
ISOLATION on the following case and,
u not. VIII you make one? A and 3

badly and loses the hole, thus leaving
him I up and 1 10 play. He asks his
caddie for a new ball. which the boy
takes from the pocket Of his golf bag.
He drives, slices into some long grass,
into which he walks and plays to the
fair green. His opponent then plays.
Thanks to long put, A halves the
hole and wins the tournament ! up.
