the understanding that If the first ball
Is found on the course and playable,
the player continues his game with 1t.
If not he continues the game with the
provisional ball. which becomes the
ball in play as soon as the status OF
the first ball is determined.
He must. of course. accept such
penalty as the rules provide for lost
ball. a ball out of bounds, or an un-
playable lie. He merely saves the time
that would be required to go back and
play a second ball, after determining
the status of the first.
Clearing Up Confusion.
NOW it is made plain that the
~ player must play provisional
ball at once, if he chooses to do
so. Furthermore, it Is stated clearly
that the number of strokes he may take
in playing the second ball up to where
the first is believed to be makes no Diff
ference, If the first ball is found on the
course and playable In that case he
disregards all strokes played on the
second ball in counting his score for
the hole. II he has to put the pro-
viSional ball in play. however, he must
count all strokes played with it.
The rules changes ought to goa good
long way toward clearing up many of
the favorite topics of debate, but there
still will be enough oratory arising
from this source. The average golfer
does not concern himself with the rules
nearly so much as he ought to. Hence
when he gets caught in an argument
he is practically helpless. A single
careful reading Of the rules can save
lot Of trouble.
