No Change in Golf Rules in England
London March 3. English amateur golfers petitioned the Royal and Ancient to institute a 36 hole medal play qualifying test for the amateur championship, but it is certain there will be no changes this year at Prestwick. Americans entering will face the same old rush and a congested schedule with twelve hours of golf in one day remains. Prestwick crowds are expected to be large and commercial bustle may cause extra hustle around the star players. Roger H Wethered, who nearly beat Hutcheon last year, has written a new play and his sister Joyce has published a book Go from Two Sides.
