Definition
In golf, the variant spelling of dormie; describing a player or team so far ahead that victory is mathematically assured.
Etymology
Alternative spelling of dormie, from disputed origins possibly relating to dormant or a safe sleeping lead. Standard in golf terminology since the 19th century.
Kelly Says
Golf players say 'dormy' with such satisfaction because it means the match is essentially over—your opponent is mathematically sleeping!
