THE CURSE OF BOGEY

(A. R. Lovelock) “O he who takes a divot with care, And after his stroke just leaves it there. Nor stamps it down with determined tread; The Curse of Bogey be on his head! O he who a bunker rashly mars, With marks of his boots, nor smooths the scars; And climbs up the bunker’s face shall know, The Curse of Bogey to work him woe! O he who scratches with spikes, the green, Or drops his clubs, the marks being seen, Or, the pin replacing, tears the hole— The Curse of Bogey be on his soul! But he who takes these lessons to heart, And cares for the course and plays his Part, With divots replaced, and sand smoothed clean. And clubs 'aid gently upon the green, Laying the pins with care bn the ground (Not once or twice, but all the way round!) The Bogey's blessing shall bring him fame, And a winning score—for he’s played the game.” Question: Two players, A and B, agree on a referee for their match. On arrival at his ball, A decides that bis ball is unplayable. B says he considers it playable. Does the referee decide the matter, bearing in mind Rules 22 and 35? Answer: The matter whether or not a ball is playable or unplayable is up to the decision of the owner of the ball. Rule 22 says in part: “. ... if a ball be lost or deemed by the player to be unplayable, the player shall play his next stroke, etc.” A recent golfing report refers to an American player’s “paralyzing form.” He gave his opponent a stroke a hole, we believe.
