A
proposed revision to the rules of golf is being sought in
South Florida which will replace 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 do this until he is satisfied the ball is going
where he intended to hit it in the first place. This will
cause the time of play to be extended until such time the
player can claim the hole. This revision is causing some consternation
to the PGA but proponents say it is only fair.
A
recent test of this new rule was recently played out in an
exclusive club in Palm Beach County Florida and the first
hole only took 7 days to complete.
