Is the player entitled to drop out on the side from which the ball entered, or must he cross to the other aide, and play over the ditch on his next stroke f The rule covering the procedure in dropping a ball lifted from a water hazard is very specific. It provides that In dropping the player must keep the spot at which the ball crossed the margin of the hazard in line between himself and the hole, in dropping, If he drops clear of the ditch, or the place at which the ball lay In the water between himself and the hole, If he drop in the ditch. This would mean, of course, that in a case like that above, the player must, according to the rule, cross the ditch and drop on the far side. However, conditions can and do arise in which It is quite impractical, if not Impossible, to comply fully with this rule, such, for Instance, as where the ditch happens to be quite a creek, and not easily to be crossed. Hence where conditions of this kind exist, it Is the duty of the club officials to establish a local rule, permitting the player to drop on the near side of the ditch, as nearly as possible to where the ball entered the ditch, and not nearer the hole. The rules of golf do not,, of course, contemplate requiring a player to do the Impossible. (A ky Ik* Ball Syndicate 1Mb)' As Seen By Plaindealer Reporters and Handed In By Our Friends •Charles A.
