I just have to ping this thread. I was playing the Royal Aberdeen the other day. The green fee was rather stiff but they gave us a goodie bag to sugar it. The backside spelled: "The origin of the 5 minute rule". Simple words with tonnes of historic content. Just like this thread.
Looking on how today's top performers strike the ball, it's obvious that Homer - and Lynn - was ahead of time when Lynn wrote his letter to Golf Digest.
