I was watching yesterdays round in a bar. No sound on the TV. They zoomed into a blue stake, and a player in the background. I looked up the stake, said it can be used for GUR, but the player did not take a drop. So what's with a blue stake in that situation?

They mark the position past which you can't practice because you're on the course.

Somewhat unique to Oakmont.

Part of the 9th green at Oakmont is also used as a practice putting area. Blue stakes indicate which part can be used for practice without breaching the 'practising on course' rule.
