Ball From Behind Tree
Sensible Rule in Winter Golf

the fairways, and if the ball went into
the rough it had to be played where it
lay. But countless arguments arose as
to where the fairways ended and the
rough began and the rules were
stretched to cover all the course except
hazards Nowadays on most courses
around Washington the ball may be
teed in both rough and fairway. But
the rule permitting lifting from behind
tree or bush at Washington Is some
thing entirely new and. in the main, is
a sensible addition to the rule covering
Winter play.
MOT many players know. however,
~ that under the liberal Winter
rule" regulation a ball lying on
the face of bunker may be lifted and
teed. II il lies In the sand II may not
be touched, nor may it be touched If it
has crossed the margin of a water
hazard and lies on the bank, although
not actually in the water. The United
States Golf Association classes as a
bunker only that portion which is COW
cred with sand or bare earth. and,
therefore, the side walls Of a bunker are
not part of the bunker and the ball may
be reteed. But under the water hazard
rule the moment the ball crosses the
edge of the hazard and stops below the
top of the bank it is in the hazard,
whether it actually lies in the water or
not. and under these conditions neither
the ball nor anything else may be
touched. If the ball is covered with
leaves, or lies near stick or stone, the
lie may not be improved in any way.
On the whole. the rule now in use at
Washington is a sensible one and GER
tainly will eliminate arguments. For
golf under Winter rules is hardly the
game as it was originally intended to be
played anyway. and any step that will
eliminate needless discussion is a move
in the right direction. In Great Britain
today the ball is played where it lies,
regardless Of course and weather condi-
tions. which was the original intent Of
the game But in this country more
liberal attitude prevails, and. although
scores made under Winter rules" mean
nothing, the golf courses certainly bene-
fit from use of such rules.

It was a fairly even battle until the
knockout, with Battaglia having what

The P. G. A. has an attractive sched-
ule outlined for the coming Winter
season, with definite guarantees for all

Angeles open. Los Angeles which at
one time gave purse tCtaling $4,000,
