I was looking up the rules of golf.
[begin quotes] "The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews is the governing authority for the rules of the game in more than 100 affiliated nations" "A common world-wide code has been administered by the R&A and the USGA since 1952 following a four-day conference in a committee room at the House of Lords which thrashed out the differences in the rules that had arisen on opposite sides of the Atlantic. The two independent bodies now meet on a regular basis and have worked successfully since 1952 to create a common code." [end quotes] Unfortunately their online rules page is not ready yet: http://www.randa.org/index.cfm?cfid=227344&cftoken=98133955&action=rules.rul essub.rulespage However some rules are available in a history site. This one mentions that 'metrication comes to golf' but only at the top of the page: http://www.ruleshistory.com/rules1972.html I found the following dual units in use here. Presumably the 'ounce' is the imperial one. It also uses 'gm'. Perhaps there might be a case for suggesting that they drop the non-metric units. http://www.ruleshistory.com/appendices.html -- Terry Simpson Human Factors Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.connected-systems.com Phone: +44 7850 511794
