STIMY Meaning and
Definition
-
Stimy is a verb that is primarily used in the game of golf and it refers to the situation where an obstruction on the putting green interferes with the line of play of a player's golf ball. When a player's ball is stimied, it means that an opponent's ball is in the way, preventing a straight or direct path to the hole. This obstruction can be caused by an opponent's ball, a marker, or any other object present on the green.
In a broader sense, stimy can also be used as a noun to refer to the obstruction itself, such as "There is a stimy in my line." It is worth noting that stimy is an informal term mostly used in golfing circles and not commonly found in general English language usage.
The concept of stimy originated in Scotland and it was once a legitimate rule in golf. In the past, when a stimy occurred, the interfering ball would remain in its original position, and players had to navigate their shots around it. However, this rule has been eliminated from formal golf regulations, and players are now allowed to lift and mark their balls to avoid a stimy situation.
Overall, stimy is an uncommon and specialized term used specifically in the context of golf, denoting an obstruction that hinders a player's putting line.

Etymology of STIMY
The etymology of the word "stimy" is unclear and there are several theories about its origins.
One theory suggests that "stimy" may derive from the Scottish word "stymie" or "stymy", which means an obstacle or impediment. In Scottish golf, a stymie referred to a situation in which a player's ball obstructs the path of another player's ball on the putting green. This theory posits that "stimy" is a variation or corruption of "stymie".
Another theory suggests that "stimy" may come from the Dutch word "stijven", which means to stiffen or block. Dutch settlers in South Africa introduced the game of golf there, and it is possible that the term "stimy" derived from their language.
