Under the revised rules that went into effect yesterday, the number of rules has been re duced from 81 to 21 and the number of definitions in the in dex from 900 to 73. The changes eliminated the penalty stroke for hitting a bull out of bounds, under the revised rules, the first major revision since 1944, the penalty Is the loss of distance only. Other changes give a com petitor the right to exchange a club should one of his become unfit for use; penalize a player a stroke for hitting a test ball or rolling an object on the greens to get the "feel" of a putting surface; and curb the use of odd shaped grips and adjustable heads of clubs.
