                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final                 
          rejection of claims 1 and 4, which are all of the claims                    
          remaining in this application.                                              
          As set forth on page 1 of the specification, appellant’s                    
          invention relates to the game of golf and, more particularly, to
