Status In America

Ball Furthest From Hole Must Be Played First

(By "Birdio")

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.
