down that: When a player goes on the links he assumes the risks of the game as it is played by a reasonably prudent and careful person. He knows that the best players make poor shots, and that the less experienced players often make then. In determining the degree of eara to be observed by the driving player, the¦ GODOWNS. ordinary rules of negligence should be followed. The driving player must use ordinary care not to injure the player in front of him, but the player ahead must also use ordinary care so as not to be injured."

AN INDEFENSTELE ACT.

"

All this sounds very ambiguous and heside the point. To say to the man who is injured, Well, it is your own fault if you are hit," is indefensible, and shows a complete lack of knowledge of the written laws of the game. The plain fact is that this particular accident would never have happened if the player had waited until the couple in front had quitted the green and were entirely clear of it. Rule II. of the Etiquette of Gaif reads: "No player should play from the tee until the party in front have played their second strokes and are out of rage, not play up to the putting-green till the party in frout, have holed out Little is left for and moved away."

"A decision of this kind is likely to encourage the links "hog," and experi- | epce shows that he needs no encourage nient. The safe rule that the players ahead must be cht of range before those behind play their shoes is honoured too much in the breach, especially in theso days of crowded courses and hosts of new and untutored golfers.

Offences of this description are often perpetrated at shor: boles where the players strike off, the moment. the flag has been replaced and before the people in front have had time to quit the green, Apparently there is need for the exercise of care on the Leeds municipal courses. for Mr. J. J. P. Kent, the cap tain of the Golfers Club, speaking the other day as the annual meeting, gave this advice to new members: "Before you get a good grip of a club you, should get a good grip of the rules and etiquette of the game, as without strict nervanco of the etiquette there is no worse game in the world thun golf."
