Snowman in golf is a term used to describe a score of three over par on a specific hole. It's called a snowman because the number three resembles the shape of a snowman. In golf, par is the expected number of strokes that a skilled golfer should take to complete a hole. A snowman score means that a golfer took three more strokes than the par. It's usually considered a less than ideal outcome, but it's also a relatively common score for golfers of various skill levels.
