This section is from the book "The Game Of Golf", by William Park, Jun.. Also available from Amazon: The Game of Golf.
Except on medal days, a ball driven on to a putting-green (other than the one being played to) must be lifted and dropped off the green, but not nearer the hole, without penalty.
Note. - Members are urgently requested to refrain from driving a ball when passers-by are within range, and to recollect that the ordinary custom of calling 'Fore!' adopted on most greens is not deemed sufficient at Wimbledon. The player must wait until passers-by have moved out of danger.
