A 'stymie' refers to an old rule in golf. This is where in a singles match play, one player's ball is blocking the path of another player's ball on the green. If the balls are not within six inches of each other, the obstructing player's ball is not lifted. Instead the player who was further away from the hole had to attempt to putt around the obstacle ball. Sometimes a
player would even attempt to chip his ball over the opponent's ball into the cup.
