Golf Rule Alterations Agreed To
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, May 13.
Agreement to proposed alterations to the rules of golf has been reached by negotiating committees of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews and the United States Golf Association. Two of the proposals concern the putting green. They would permit (a) cleaning the ball, and <b) repairing ball marks by any method except by stepping on the damaged area. If a ball was moved while in the process of moving a loose impediment on the putting green there would be no penalty, whereas there is now a penalty of one stroke.
