"A ball imbedded in soft mud, ex-
cept in a recognized water hazard

(ln such a case it may be lifted with
out penalty and dropped not nearer
the hole.)
IF the ball be played on to a put
ting green other than that Of the
hole being played, the ball shall be
lifted and placed off such green. as
near as possible to the place where
the ball lay, but not nearer the hole
without penalty"
The stymie rule of the western as
sociation. which differs from the
United States Golf Association rule
which does not abolish stymies when
laid by oneself. follows:
Where both balls are on the put
ting. green. If the player of the ball
farthest from the hole claims that
the nearer ball interferes with his putt.
the nearer ball. upon request, shall be
lifted or played. at the option OF the
owner"
