A Dormie 9 in golf means that you are up by 9, with 9 holes to go. This can only occur on the 10th hole.
You will win the match on 2 of 3 occasions. Only if you score worse than your opponent in the tenth hole will it not be over then. You can tie it with them, or win it all out, and have the match.
Even if you do lose the 10th hole though, it wil go to a Dormie 8, and the game wil continue until you tie or beat your opponent.

If you're up and dormie nine is good for you meaning that your opponent have to win all the nine holes just to tie you. But, if you coming from behind on a dormie nine, I suggest you give up. I've never seen anyone come up to win with a dormie nine before. I think Tiger did it once to a guy who brag before playing with him. It means even before the turn, you lose all the holes in the front nine.

Dormie means that you can no longer be beaten because there are not enough holes left but, you can tie.
Dormie 9 means you have won the first 9 holes and have 9 left to play. If your opponent wins all of the remaining holes, you tie. If you win one hole you win. If you tie the next 9 holes, you still win. If you win the 10th hole, you win 10 and 8 which is a close out.

it means you are up by 9 holes with 9 to play. ie. you have won every hole on the front side over your opponent. If you win #10 you win the match. the worst you can do is lose every hole on the back side and halve the match.

It means you just got your butt kicked. About the quickest way to win match play aside from quitting.
