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 19 days to complete.
