Rep Power: 0  | Whatever happened to the stymie ? I was watching some old Bobby Jones "How I play Golf" and he showed how to play a stymie shot. For those that don't know back in the day there was no such thing as marking the ball on a green. When a person was in your line it was called a stymie. What ever happand to that, slowly faded away... I guess or is it still around but not used much. |

Rep Power: 0 | Me either, I thought marking was from the beginning....I guess not. So that stroke to get around your oppenents ball counted, right? |
