[lfjokes] new golf rules allow the call of "gore"

[Adam Shand]

i promise this is the end of the election humor... unless something really
good comes along, but you've all been really slack in sending me stuff so
i'm forced to search through the dregs (no offense kevin you have lots of
good stuff too :-).

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.
