A lot of luck was involved, naturally, because you didn’t think about trying to stymie your opponent when you were pitching from sixty yards off the green or more. But that was the reason scorecards then were exactly six inches long and had an arrow pointing in both directions at the bottom. If your ball was quite close to your opponent’s, you placed the scorecard between yours and his, and if it touched both of them, one of you had to mark the ball. Otherwise, it was a stymie.
