PROBLEM IN GOLF
! " (.'oiler," Tauratiga, writes as fol- ! lows:—" Would you please oblige by | giving a ruling on the following incident: During a modal round an approach shot was played 011 to the green, the hall hitting a golf bag that had been put down within a rouple of yards of the hole, thereby making it. a putt of about (sft., whereas probably it would have been about a 10-footer. The bag was not that of the man who played the approach shot. Also, in the case of match play, what would the ruling be? " If the shot was played from within 20 yards of the pin, the penalty is two strokes. If from outside that distance, it is treated as a rub of the green and there is no penalty, the ball being played from where it finishes. In match play, if the ball should strike the opponent's bag the opponent would lose the hole.—Athletics Editor.
