Stymie Rule Is Modified by U S G A in 1928 Trial
New York January 10 The United States Golf Association adopted a trial modification to the stymie rule. A nearer ball within six inches of the cup may not be lifted, except for a putt if it lies within six inches of the away ball. The change aims to aid match play without abolishing the hazard, drawing mixed reactions from prominent golfers. Francis Ouimet, non playing Walker Cup captain, leads opposition citing preference to abolish or fully keep the stymie. The rule applies only for 1928 as a trial and may be revised after thorough testing.
