The stymie rule was removed from the official rules of Golf in 1952. Before this rule was removed a golf player would need to have to play around another ball in play even if they caused an obstruction.

Who wrote the rules of golf?

The first rules of golf were a code of 13 rules written in 1744 by the Honorable Company of Edinburgh Golfers. In 1754 the Society of St. Andrews Golfers (who would later become known as the R&A) also adopted this set of rules. As golf continued to grow, in 1888 the, now named, Royal & Ancient Golf Club at St. Andrews drew up a new code of rules. By the next year the R&A became generally accepted as golf's ruling body. Now the R&A and USGA govern the rules of golf for the world and meet regularly to discuss and coordinate new rules and rule changes.
