New Golf Rule

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.
