Some claim it is authorized by the rules; others say it is net. $;• There is no provision for dropp^tg • ball as suggested where a ball becomes lost. The rules provide only one procedure for a lost ball. The flayer Is required to go back and play another ball from a spot as near as possible to where the previous stroke was played, and play again, counting the previous stroke and adding one Stroke as a penalty. If the previous •troke was played from the tee, then the second ball may be teed without «n.v further penalty; elsewhere the ball must be dropped. In addition to the foregoing It may added, that the rules authorize is to establish local rules, omltthe penalty jitepke, if they see fit. Where such a local rule exists the player does not, of course, need to a penalty stroke to his score for hole, but merely loses the dls- • gotten on his previous str<*e. <© by the B*ll Syndicate, fnc.)
