RULES OF GOLF
REVISION APPROVED
ROYAL AND ANCIENT'S FIAT
LONDON, September 20.
The Royal and Ancient Golf Club unanimously approved the revised golf rules, which will come into operation on January 1. They were drafted after consultation with the United States and the Dominions.
There aro no drastic changes, the alterations being chiefly aimed sit making the wording o£ the present rules clearer.
The y.ost notablo alterations govern the flag-stick rules for match play, in which now either party is entitled to remove the flag. A more generous liftingl of loose impediment %s also allowed, and certain rules have been regrouped. Another important adjustment enables the special rules for match play to bo absorbed in the general rules. Tho • chairman of the championship committee (Mr. Boase) reported that the committee was unable to reach a decision regarding amateur s.tatus, which is still under consideration.
