Description

A stymie was a situation in greens play in golf where one player's ball blocked the path of another's to the cup, governed by a now obsolete rule of golf. Formerly, the blocked player was not afforded relief, and had to chip over or putt around the obstructing ball. Today, the blocking ball is temporarily removed to afford a clear line to the hole without penalty to the putter or advantage to the player who's ball is moved.
