A proposed revision to the rules of Golf is being sought in South Florida.
Once a player has hit an errant shot, that player will be allowed to call
"GORE" while the ball is still in flight. The player can replace the ball in
the same spot and hit it again. The player can do this until satisfied the
ball is going where it was intended to be hit it in the first place.

You should note that this will not replace the traditional call of "FORE" as
this should be used in addition to the "GORE" call. The new call 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.

At this time St. Andrews officials are wary, however if enough proponents
stick to this proposal it will probably be approved by popular vote and by
the government judicial authorities. Canvas your friends and don't give an
inch.

Note that 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 14
days to complete!!!!
