• 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. The ball didn’t move. • 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 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 par-three 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 of each other on the green. • “Golf Digest” reports that there are an average of about 120 holes-in-ones reported every day.

Funny Local Golf Story:

This was the Best Golf Shot that Never Won an Award.

Adam hit the ball straight at the water, it skipped 6 times, bounced off the shore and still landed on the Green. Now that's what you call ProGolfing. Except according to Adam his next shot did land in the water. Guess Adam better stick to his day job, instead of becoming a Pro-Golfer!

• 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, Englishlanguage 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!” (cont’d next page)

• 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.

Slash Your Risk of Heart Attack

I would like to deny all allegations by Bob Hope that during my last game of golf, I hit an eagle, a birdie, an elk and a moose: Gerald Ford

THE CHALLENGE If you could lose weight risk FREE... And win $1000 for losing 10lbs... You would do it...RIGHT?

As part of the "90-Day Challenge" we drink a shake mix that smells and tastes like a cake mix, at only $1.87 per shake. Average weight-loss is 5 pounds per week! BUT it's not just for losing weight! Body builders use it to build muscles, families use it to save money and provide a "Healthy Fast Food". It's safe, lactose free, diabetic friendly, and gluten free.

--A long-term study out of Tufts University has pinpointed five steps we can take to cut our risk of heart attack in half. And those steps aren’t even hard. This 20-year study followed 4,500 men and women age 65 and older. The participants had a yearly exam and answered questions about their leisure activities, intensity of exercise, alcohol and smoking, their diet and weight. The five heart-savings steps are all about lifestyle: 1. Exercise doesn’t have to be strenuous. All it takes is brisk walking, at a pace of 2 mph or faster.WORDS (continued): “NATIONAL” •2.

• Stephen Horchler of Scotland invented a golf ball that has a built-in radio transmitter that beeps distress signals so golfers can find it. • Astronaut Alan Shepard made golf history when he knocked a few golf balls around on the moon. But he missed the first shot, taking a mulligan. This earned him a lifetime membership in the U.S. Duffers Association of Newport, Kentucky. They also awarded him the presidency of their first moon chapter. • 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 termite mound. A hundred other mounds on the course provide the hazards. • You need to walk 35 miles to reduce one pound 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.” On Aug. 12, 1973, golfer Jack Nicklaus wins the PGA Championship for his 14th major title, surpassing Bobby Jones’ 43-year-old record.

A Joke from Golfer Steve Hobbs: Four retired men play golf together once a week for many years. One day on 16th hole that runs along side the highway, a funeral procession drives by. One man says to the others, "Stop and remove your hats, show some respect." Afterward, one of the other men asked him what got into him. "I have never seen you show anybody any respect." The first man replied: "I was married to her for 65 years."

A Joke from Golfer Dom Smith: A guy on vacation finishes his round, goes into the clubhouse. The head pro says, "Did you have a good time out there?" The man replied "Fabulous, thank you." "You're welcome," said the pro. "How did you find the greens?" The man said: "Easy. I just walked to the end of the fairways and there they were!"

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.” • 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.” • On opening night, skywriters were hired to decorate the California skies with a pair of large circles with dots in their centers. • Jane Russell, an unknown before this film, had her career boosted to incredible heights. She later became the spokesperson for Playtex, a job she held until 1986. Years later she revealed in her autobiography that she had found the bra so uncomfortable that she had only worn it once in the privacy of her dressing room. Thereafter, she shored up her own bra and wore it instead. No one knew. • Biggest Bra: The Franksville Specialty Company in the town of Conover, Wisconsin manufactures bras for cows in order to prevent them from tripping over their udders, which can weigh up to 80 pounds when full. They come in four sizes and are available in only one color: barnyard brown. They are also designed to keep the udder warm. • Imelda Marcos reputedly wore a bullet-proof bra when public opinion turned against her. • The average American woman owns six bras. Out of those six, one of them is a strapless bra and one is a color other than white.
