Most of the clubs will probably bring in rules insisting that all players shall have a registered mark on their balls, iltid ' all' found balls with marks must be returned to the owners. Good putting greens' are an important part of good links. The wearing of long spikes in their boots by the- men, and narrow heels by the lady players, always do' damage to the greens, especially in wet Weather. In England players .are using what are called Stills golf studs ,on the' soles of their boots. They are said to be only rubber grips that weather. ]f they are found to,.J)p.# complete success, it would be to «f all players if all golf- : i<}',ft?^vjii^ l ii)U«,de r! t®.' use them.
