Points That Players
Should Remember
H. COTTON JOINS AIR FORCE (By "Birdie"?)
IT HAS BEEN SAID that golf is a game, the rules of which would fill pagos. Actually they do in the Golfer's Handbook-26% of them. But the complexity of the game is its great fascina- tion. It is more full of incident than any other, and because of this the 261⁄2 pages of rules have to be supplemented with local rules governing local conditions.
However, because of their volume, it is probable that govern many golfers are unfamiliar with all the rules that their game, and though this is no great handicap except in isolated incidents in competitions, there are fundamentals
that should be known.
These are points of etiquette, and for the benefit of some who, apparently, are yet unware of there, I will print them.
