Standardised Clubs And Amateur
Status In America
Ball Furthest From Hole Must Be Played First
(By "Birdie")
THERE WAS AN ARTICLE of interest in the "S. C. M. Post" on Thursday last dealing with American initiative in standardising clubs. The article went on further to deal with a definition of the amateur status in that country.
It seems pretty well indicated that this latter is the outcome of the furore there was over the position of Jim Ferrier, the great Australian amateur, who was banned from taking part in the U. S. Amateur on the grounds that he was a professional because he wrote for certain newspapers.

Now there arc some greens whereon the hole is placed far on one side dometimes within two yards of the edge of the green. A player, therefore, may lle in the rough but within three yards of the hole while his opponent on the far side of the green may be over three yards away.
It seems, therefore, that the player whose ball is on the green should be the one to play first, that is, putt before his opponent chips!
