AMATEUR GOLF
BAN ON GIFT BALLS (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, Feb. 8 The Royal and Ancient Golf Club will shortly introduce drastic measures to prohibit the practice by which amateur golfers receive golf balls as presents from manufacturers. Many well-known amateur players receive whole boxes each month aggregating thousand of balls, thus diverting hundreds of pounds from the pockets of professionals. This practice is drastically opposed by the Royal and Ancient Club, which points out that it is a breach of the rule, allowing amateurs to accept only two balls, marked “sample.” The club may refuse players’ entries for championships, without explanation. if it is found that the rule continues to be disobeyed.
