Rule Change Is Planned By Western Golf Association
Maynard G. Fessenden said the Western Golf Association will adopt USGA rules except for stymies, after a USGA request and a unanimous directors vote. Western Junior and Western Amateur will not play stymies, as USGA rules require. The shift aligns penalties for lost balls and out of bounds with stroke rules, and lifting on greens will follow USGA standards. The article also notes postwar meat and egg consumption trends.
