the former he would have a receiving
barn. to which the horses would be
delivered an hour before the race.
He also advocates forbidding any
horse to race for so days after he has

Hazard Penalty Is Fair.

TT Is hard enough In winter TO tell
where the fairway stops and the
rough begins without dragging in
the possibility of a lot of arguments
Furthermore the rough at any golf
course has in it a flock of holes, where
your golf ball has favorite habit
Of nesting. These holes are filled in
Summer with a lot of loose growing
grass, but they are bare in Winter
and a golf ball, rolling along under
the well-known physical law of a
round object seeking the lowest point,
Is almost sure to stop in bad lie.
Golf Is hard enough in the Winter
without making it harder by playing
Summer rules in the rough.
So the better scheme, if the ball
Is to be moved at all, is to make it
possible to move it all over the course,
barring hazards. And any gent who
gets into a hazard should be penal
lied. It's all far from the original
idea prevailing in Britain that the
ball shall not be touched from tee
to green. But after all golf is game
played for fun and exercise, and when
it becomes hard work the fun stops.
Which reminds us that few Winters
back Davie Thompson, the Washing
ton Club pro, visited his home town
of Montrose in Scotland. Dave took
along his golf clubs and played
few rounds of golf during the Scottish
Winter. His main complaint was
that the dogmatic Scots insisted on
playing the ball where it lay, despite
the poor condition of the course.
I'VE got in some holes on the fair
way where only mashie would get
us out" Davie said. 81 think it's
silly not to use Winter rules under
conditions like that"

FOLLOW EXAMPLE
SET BY COLUMBIA
Congressional Is Latest to
Permit Teeing Ball When
Off FairWay.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

RADUALLY the golf clubs
around Washington are work.
ing toward the realization
that Winter rules on their
courses must be played all over the
course, with the exceptions Of hazards
and cannot apply alone to play
through the fairways.
For years at Columbia and Wash
ington, when Winter rules became
effective, they included the whole golf
course, excepting bunkers and water
hazards, which made impossible argu-
ments as to where the fairway ends
and the rough begins, and permitted
teeing of the ball practically anywhere
on the golf course.
And now Congressional is swinging
into line with a recommendation by
Professional Roland Mackenzie that
the old rule permitting teeing OF the
ball only in the fairway be changed
to permit replacing the ball anywhere
on the course barring those pesky
hazards.
Evening star., 1934-12-11
Columbia Sets Example.

COLUMBIA started it all many
I years ago when knowing little
Fred Mcleod, the Columbia pro,
asked the question: Can you find
anything in the rule book about fair
ways?" The Golf Committee searched
the book and found that Freddie had
asked a question that couldn't be
answered in the affirmative. The rule
book says nothing about fairway, but
it does have lot to say about play
Through the green" and on the
green" and in hazards.
Therefore" the committee argued,
"isn't all the course with the excep-
ton of hazards one big fairway?" And
so it is regarded at Columbia. Along
came Washington picking up the
same rule, with the added provision
among some of the members that
the ball may be placed anywhere
within a clubs length of where it
stopped, thereby eliminating the pos
sibility of being stymied by a tree.
That rule also has worked out per-
fectly. And now comes Congressional,
about to adopt much the same rule,
with the difference that the ball may
be moved only inches from the
spot where it came to rest.
