The Stymie
Ever heard of anyone being Stymied? I caught a broadcast on the Golf network which showed the history of the Stymie. It was pretty odd watching the pros chip over their opponents ball while on the green. I think the stymie was lifted about 50 years ago. Go check it out and think how much worse your golf game would be if it still existed.

When was the last time anyone was directly between me and the pin? I am lucky if I am on the green with everyone else.

Thank you for reminding of the word that my grandfather used during the many afternoon golf games that we shared together… the word “stymie” was used everytime we got on the green… not really but that sounds like something a 70 year old fart would say… who came up with the word stymie? When I first read the word, I thought you were about to introduce to us a 70’s porn star… or at least some type of sexual device. Golf’s a game for rich, drunk guys that play only to avoid their wives… maybe if they spent more time improving their marriage, instead of their handicap, they might would be getting some in the bed room, instead of banging their secretary on a “business” trip… just a thought… sorry.

Yeah, I wish I were a rich old guy, too.

It’s also for those without girlfried/wives who aren’t getting any to start with and refuse to pay for sex outright.
