Beginner: “How do you like my game?” Caddie: “It’s all right, but I still prefer golf.” TIDBITS® GOES OUT TO
GOLF
by Janet Spencer In honor of the PGA golf tournament coming up this month, Tidbits goes golfing! GOLF THROUGH HISTORY • The game of golf may have originally started as a game played by the Romans called ‘paganica.’ It was played by hitting a featherfilled leather ball with a crooked stick.

• Modern golf was invented by the Scots, and by the mid-1400s had become so popular that King James II outlawed the game because he felt his subjects were wasting too much time playing it when they should be spending more time doing useful things. Archers were losing their shooting ability because they were spending so much time hitting little balls around instead practicing their aim.

• America’s first 18-hole golf course was constructed on a sheep farm in Downer’s Grove, Illinois in 1892. When businessman Blair McDonald moved to this town, he began constructing the course with his colleagues because he loved golf. The Downer’s Grove Golf Course is still intact after all these years, although it has since been downsized to just 9 holes.

• In 1975 Perry Crowley of Connecticut was playing golf when he hit a ball into the water. However, it skipped off the lake, ricocheted off a rake in the nearby sand trap, then landed on the green and skidded into the cup.

• During the 1949 British Open, Harry Bradshaw accidentally drove a ball into a beer bottle which broke the bottle’s neck. The ball ended up inside the bottle. To avoid a penalty, Bradshaw played it where it lay. He smashed the bottle with his club. The bottle traveled about 30 feet (9 m). The ball didn’t move.

• During a 1938 PGA tournament, Jimmy Hine’s chip shot on the 13th hole hit opponent Sam Snead’s ball, and they both ended up in the cup. Both players, who were tied, were awarded a birdie two. Snead eventually beat Hines by one stroke.

• Songwriter Hoagy Carmichael was playing at Pebble Beach, California. He teed up on a parthree hole, chose a club, and smacked the ball. It bounced once on the green, rolled to the pin, and dropped in the hole for a hole-in-one. Hoagy didn’t react at all. He just reached in his pocket, pulled out another ball, teed up again, and said, “I think I’ve got the idea now.” • Henry “Dads” Miller of Anaheim, California, once shot a 99 on a 5,734-yard course. He was 100 years old at the time, and had not taken up golf until the age of 67. • Fred Astaire was nearly as good at golfing as he was at dancing. In his 1938 film “Carefree,” he danced over tables, down the hallway, out to the terrace, and onto a golf course. There he was to dance over to a golf club and hit, in rhythm and on cue, a dozen golf balls that were lined up on the fairway. When the crew went to retrieve the golf balls, they found all twelve balls within eight feet (2.4 m) of each other on the green.

Golfer Sam Snead was granted an audience with Pope John. He confessed that he had brought along his putter, hoping the pope might bless it. The pope nodded in sympathy and commiserated, “My putting is absolutely hopeless, too.” Snead concluded, “If you LIVE here and can’t putt, what chance is there for me?”

GOLF
(continued): • Crows living near the golf course in Bombay, India, have developed a taste for golf balls, picking them up and carrying them back to their nests. Caddies run after the balls and cover them with a red cloth before the crows can spot them. • Sign posted on an African golf course: “If the ball comes to rest in dangerous proximity to a crocodile or a hippopotamus, another ball may be dropped.” • On a golf course in Africa, golfers tee off from the flat top of a 15-foot (4.5 m) termite mound. A hundred other mounds on the course provide the hazards. • You need to walk 35 miles (56 km) to reduce one pound (.45 kg) of fat. If you drink two average cocktails during an 18-hole round of golf, you will end up with a net caloric gain. • In the movie “Diamonds are Forever,” James Bond smuggled diamonds inside his Dunlop 65 golf balls. • Golfer Gene Sarazen was playing in an early world championship match in 1922 against Walter Hagen. At the end of the first day, he was just 2 strokes behind, on account of having missed a couple easy putts due to nerves. That night he complained of stomach pains and was unable to sleep. The next day he went on to win the match. Four hours later he underwent an emergency appendectomy. He commented, “A sick appendix is not as difficult to deal with as a five-foot putt.” FAMOUS PLAYERS • When Laura Baugh started tearing up the golf courses in the early 1970s, she was still too young to play on the women’s pro tour according to regulations. So her agent took her to Japan, which did not have a minimum age requirement. The golf-happy Japanese fixated on the curvaceous young blond American. Laura Baugh photos, calendars, photo albums, cosmetics, school supplies, English-language cassettes, sports clothing, and gold accessories became all the rage in Japan. She became the highest paid female golfer even though she had never played in an American tournament. • Tiger Woods was only 8 when he got his first hole-in-one. Five-year-old Coby Orr was the youngest golfer to shoot a hole-in-one. He did it in Littleton, Colorado in 1975. • Henrik Stenson made headlines by stripping down to his underwear when his ball went into a swampy area during the WGC Cadillac Championship in 2009. Wearing nothing but a glove and his jockey shorts, he hit his ball out of the muck and made bogey. • Jack Nicklaus won the Masters tournament six times. • Someone asked Muhammed Ali how he was at golf. “I am the greatest!” he replied. “I just haven’t played yet!” GOLF FACTS • The word “caddy” comes from the French word for student, “cadet” which is pronounced cad-DAY. • The medieval Dutch word “kolf” or “kolve” meant “club” and is probably the origin of the word golf. • Balls travel significantly further on hot days. • A club remains in contact with the ball for half of a thousandth of a second and travels with the ball for three quarters of an inch. • 400 million rounds of golf are played in America each year.

• John ‘Garnet’ Carter was born in 1883 in Sweetwater, Tennessee. Although he dropped out of school, he later completed a six-month business school which filled his head with ideas.
Deborah J. Carpenter
QUIZ: GARNET CARTER
• In his early years, he bounced around between jobs, working at a grocery store, becoming a travelling candy salesman, and going into business with his brother selling aluminum ware. • Next he went into business developing real estate on Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee. There he constructed an inn with a ballroom. • In 1927, Garnet Carter was looking for an added attraction to entertain his customers. He came up with a successful idea that immediately caught on with the public and became a national craze. His invention provided simple, fun outdoor recreation. It could be installed in a week and cost (at that time) as little as $2,000. • The first example of Carter’s idea was built on Long Island and brought in $362 in its first day of business. At first they were barred from within 50 feet of churches, schools, or hospitals. But one progressive church in New Jersey installed its own and urged everyone to come. The profits paid off the church’s debts. • Three years later, there were 40,000 of these inventions across the country and Garnet Carter was a rich man. The industry took in $225 million in a single year, and employed 200,000 people. The Queen of Belgium got hooked on it, and Al Capone invested in it. • The steel industry, the pipe industry, and the felt industry were very happy about the new product— and so was Garnet Carter. Can you guess what Garnet Carter’s big idea was? (Answer on page 7.)

Tell them you saw it in Tidbits®!
by Samantha Weaver • It was Henry Brooks Adams, American historian and descendant of two U.S. presidents, who made the following sage observation: “They know enough who know how to learn.” • In show business, a name can make or break you, and many aspiring stars have tried to make themselves more appealing by getting rid of the name they were born with. Take famed film noir actor Peter Lorre: He was born Laszlo Lowenstein. Beloved cowboy actor Roy Rogers was named Leonard Slye; Doris Day was originally Doris Kappelhoff; and Natasha Gurdin changed her name to Natalie Wood. And would Boris Karloff have been so well-known as a villain if he’d used his given name, William Henry Pratt? • Edgar Rice Burroughs, the author of “Tarzan of the Apes” and its 25 sequels, never actually visited Africa. • If you’re of a certain age and facing up to wrinkles, you might be interested to learn that, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, one of the top causes of skin wrinkles is your habitual sleeping position. Rounding out the top five contributing factors are sun exposure, gravity, smoking and facial expressions. • An anteater can grow to be 6 feet long, yet its mouth is only 1 inch wide. • Reportedly, anyone caught in the jaws of a crocodile can release him- or herself instantly by pressing on the animal’s eyeballs (though I cannot personally attest to the veracity of this claim). • In a recent survey of nearly 1,500 American adults, only 36 percent of respondents could correctly name all three branches of the United States government. Even more disturbing, a full 35 percent couldn’t name even one branch. *** Thought for the Day: “It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.” -Oscar Wilde (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:
IDA & WILLIAM ROSENTHAL • Ida and William Rosenthal were Russian immigrants who came to America penniless. Ida was a dressmaker so she and her husband set up a dress shop. • Ida was constantly dissatisfied with the way dresses fit around natural female curves. The current fashion was for women to wrap themselves with a “bandeau,” a strip of cloth that circled the chest, flattening everything. • In frustration – and also in rebellion against the popular flat-chested look of the flapper – Ida and William invented the first form-fitting bra which had two separate rounded pockets. Since all women are not built equally, Ida invented the cup size. She later designed different models for every stage of a woman’s life. This design enhanced rather than downplayed a woman’s natural shape. They called their company Maidenform. • They were granted a patent for the ‘uplift brassiere.’ The dresses did indeed fit better.
• On Aug. 4, 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden, elderly residents of Fall River, Mass., are found bludgeoned to death in their home. Suspicion soon fell on daughter Lizzie and the axe she’d just bought. At her trial, the jury only took 90 minutes to decide that such a sweetlooking Christian woman could never commit such a heinous crime. • On Aug. 6, 1928, Andy Warhol, one of the most influential artists of the latter part of the 20th century, is born Andrew Warhola in Pennsylvania. After being incorrectly credited as “Warhol” under an early published drawing, he decided to permanently remove the “a” from his last name. • On Aug. 9, 1945, a second atom bomb is dropped on Japan by the United States, at Nagasaki, resulting finally in Japan’s surrender. The devastation wrought at Hiroshima had not been sufficient to persuade the Japanese War Council to accept the Potsdam Conference’s demand for unconditional surrender. • On Aug. 3, 1958, the U.S. nuclear submarine Nautilus accomplishes the first undersea voyage to the geographic North Pole. The Nautilus dived at Point Barrow, Alaska, and traveled nearly 1,000 miles under the Arctic ice cap to reach the top of the world. • On Aug. 6, 1964, the United States Congress overwhelmingly approves the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, giving President Lyndon B. Johnson nearly unlimited powers to oppose “communist aggression” in Southeast Asia. The resolution marked the beginning of an expanded military role for the United States in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. • On Aug. 8, 1988, the Chicago Cubs host the first night game in the history of Wrigley Field. The first-ever night game in professional baseball took place nearly 60 years earlier in Des Moines, Iowa. • On Aug. 5, 2002, the rusty iron gun turret of the ironclad warship U.S.S. Monitor was raised from the floor of the Atlantic, where it had rested since it went down in a storm off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, during the Civil War. She sank in December 1862, while being towed from Cape Hatteras. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
• At first the brassieres were built into the dresses they made; then they gave away a free bra with every dress sold. The bras started to become very popular, so they gave up the dress shop and started a brassiere company with a capital investment of $4,500 in 1922. • Four years later, they had 40 machines turning out mass-produced bras. Forty years later, they had 19 factories producing 25 million bras annually. • During World War II when fabric was in short supply, Maidenform rounded out its line to include vests worn by carrier pigeons in order to help out with the war effort and prevent the company from going bust. Paratroopers would “wear” a bird strapped to their chest when they jumped out of a plane. When they landed, they would attach a message to the bird and release it.

UNDERWEAR Because August 5th is National Underwear Day (we’re not kidding!) enjoy some facts about underwear! • Abram Nathaniel Spanel was an inventor with over 2,000 patents. He became rich after he invented a garment bag designed so a vacuum cleaner could be hooked up to it in order to suck out any moths that might be inside the bag. Spanel founded the International Latex Corporation in Rochester, New York in 1932 to make items out of latex such as bathing caps, aprons, hot pads, slippers, baby clothing, girdles, and bras. Later the name of the company was changed, taking “latex” and adding it to “play” in order to create Playtex. • The Playtex Company was very forward with their advertising. In 1940--an era when underwear was sold primarily through discreet line drawings in print publications--Playtex placed a full page ad in “Life” magazine showing several photos of models wearing Playtex undies along with a mail-in coupon. Life claims that some 200,000 sales were made because of that ad. In 1954 Playtex became the first company ever to advertise bras and girdles on TV. In 1965 Playtex introduced the Cross Your Heart bra. Today it remains one of the best known brands in the U.S. and is the second best-selling brand of bra Playtex offers, with the 18-Hour Bra filling out the top spot. Today, new models are constantly being shaped up as the industry keeps abreast of the trends. • Most Historical Bras: If you’re in Los Angeles, you can visit the Frederick’s of Hollywood “Bra Museum” where they have displayed such items as Madonna’s famous bustier; a girdle worn by Ethel Merman in “There’s No Business Like Show Business”; the bra Tony Curtis wore in “Some Like It Hot”; the bra Milton Berle wore on his TV show; and Phyllis Diller’s training bra, marked “This side up.” Continued on the next page!

PICKS OF THE WEEK Far From the Madding Crowd (PG-13) -Bathesheba Everdene (Carey Mulligan) has a rare opportunity for women of her time — she has enough wealth that she doesn’t have to marry for business reasons. She can pick any man she wants, which isn’t as easy as it sounds. She’s got three very different men on the line, but for each one, there are complexities to the relationship. An adaptation of a romantic and melodramatic English novel hardly seems like the place to look for takes on contemporary love, but in the hands of director Thomas Vinterberg, the country comes to life and the love–quadrangle stays engaging.

• Howard Hughes also had his hand in the bra business. In 1941 he and his engineering buddies invented a special bra to flaunt the bust of 19-year-old Jane Russell in the film “The Outlaw.” Censors had a fit. 20th Century-Fox cancelled the release due to the controversy. Millions stood to be lost. • So, Hughes set all of his managers to work phoning ministers, women’s clubs, and housewives to tell them exactly how scandalous this film was. This prompted wild protests as crowds of people insisted the film be banned. The publicity machine launched into full gear and the film, when it was finally released, was a guaranteed hit. It was billed as “the bra that saved Hollywood.” Trivia Test Answers
