I remember seeing old footage of Bobby Jones chipping over an opponent's ball on the green to hole out. And I've searched everywhere online that I can think of so if you have any clue or any idea on places to look for the answer, or even better the answer itself, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
Hello. Anyone? Come on I know someone out there knows something about this.
From what I can determine, markers are first mentioned in the Rules of Golf in 1956. Prior to 1952, stymies were allowed, which is what you saw in the old footage of Bobby Jones (check out this link: http://www.ruleshistory.com/green.html#stymie ).

Hope this helps
