Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a proposed ban on the rubber [golf] ball in 1903. States that "...the Professional Union in England...[approached] the authorities in charge of the open championship with a request that the rubber ball be barred from championship." Provides arguments against the use of a rubber ball, stating that "it ruins all the links in the country, destroys all science of the game, brings second-class players on a level with the first class, and encourages mediocrity at the expense of genius." |
