A New Rule Of Golf
A new rule of golf has been announced in So. Florida to grant each
player the option of replacing the traditional call of "FORE".
Once a player has hit an errant shot he will be allowed to call "GORE"
while the ball is still in flight. He can then replace the ball in the
same spot and hit it again.
The player can continue doing this until he is satisfied the ball is
going where he intended to hit it in the first place.
The time of play is extended until such time the player no longer
claims any more "Gores".
This revision is being enthusiastically endorsed by many golfers who
contend that "every shot should count", and the guiding principle for
counting them should be the "intent of the golfer".
Critics note this new rule has extended the average game of golf from
4 hours to 4 days.
Golfers who follow the traditional rules must use camping gear while
incompetent golfers using the new rules hit thousands of shots on each
hole until their intended shot is achieved.
Supporters of the rule reply that stupid and incompetent golfers have
just as much right as anyone else to score birdies, eagles and holes
in one.
