Dormie meaning and origin Golf Today
'Dormie' Probably Arose from A French WordDid Mary Queen of Scots Have Anything to Do with It?Then There's The Doormice TheoryThe English word “dormie” as it is used in golf probably arose out of the French word dormir This is the origin story endorsed by the USGA Museum “Dormir” means “to sleep” “Dormie” means that a golfer has reached a matchplay lead that is insurmountable (at least in matches in which halves are in use) and so the player can in a manner of speaking relax knowing that he cannot lose the match “Dormir” (to sleep) turns into “dormie” (relax you can't lose) (Although golfers who have “gone dormie” can still fail to win if their opponent manages to halve the match) There are some legends floating around that Mary Queen of Scotshad something to do with introducing the term “dormie” to golf And the idea actually has the veneer of plausibility 1 Mary played golf (she may be the earliest known female golfer) 2 And French was Mary's language Alas there is no evidence—no reason at all to believe—that Mary coined the term or used the word dormirin a golf context which then became “dormie” Mary's husband certainly went dormir though In 1567 Henry Stuart Lord Darnley was murdered Another golf legend about Mary is that she was notified of her husband's murder while she was on the links playing golf It's a fun legend that dormie is credited to Mary Queen of Scots but there's no reason (beyond that it's fun) to believe the legend Here's a theory that's also fun and it comes out of The Historical Dictionary of Golf While also citing the dormirtheory for the origins of dormie the book's authors write Many dictionaries list the etymology of “dormie” as unknown But some do try to trace back its earliest known usage The earliest date we've seen is 1847 cited by MerriamWebster It's also worth noting that “dormie house” is the term for a building at a golf club where golfers can get overnight lodging (most clubs don't have such a facility but some do) That again ties into the dormirtheory and given that one of golf's governing bodies endorses it the preponderance of evidence supports that origin story Author Brent Kelley.
