Why do most people play golf with the same friends all the time. Because it takes years of golfing together to agree on how many shots don't get counted while showing off their score cards at the club house.

• The game of golf may have originally started as a game played by the Romans called ‘paganica.’ It was played by hitting a feather-filled 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 of practicing their aim. • Golf was once an Olympic sport. It was dropped in 1904. • The first golf tee was patented on December 12, 1889 by a dentist named G. F. Grant of Boston. • 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. (cont’d next page)

• 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.

• 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.” (cont’d next page)

* On Aug. 11, 1934, the first group of federal prisoners classified as “most dangerous” arrives at Alcatraz Island, a 22-acre rocky outcrop in San Francisco Bay. The convicts joined military prisoners left over from the island’s days as a U.S. military prison. * On Aug. 16, 1984, John DeLorean, founder of the DeLorean Motor Company, is found not guilty due to entrapment after being charged with smuggling drugs in an effort to raise money for his struggling automobile company. * On Aug. 14, 1994, Illich Ramirez Sanchez, the terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal, is captured in Sudan by French intelligence agents. In 1975, Sanchez and his men took 70 OPEC officials hostage at a Vienna conference, escaping with up to $50 million in ransom after killing three hostages. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

* The average resident of North America consumes about 600 sodas every year. * The United States once issued a bill of currency that was worth 5 cents. * There are many laws that have been passed during our nation’s history that make you think that some of our legislators have a bit too much time on their hands. For example, in Alaska it is illegal to look at a moose from an airplane; an Illinois law states that a car must be driven with the steering wheel; in West Virginia, you can be imprisoned for cooking sauerkraut or cabbage, due to the offensive odor; and a California law of 1925 made it illegal to wiggle while dancing. * The same man who discovered the planet Uranus also invented contact lenses. * A giraffe can use its tongue to clean its ears -- not too difficult a task, I suppose, if your tongue is 21 inches long. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• 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!” • 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.

"Like you, other people enjoy reading Tidbits. Just imagine how placing an ad about your business will gain visibility by so many!"

www.tidbitpapers.com Top Nine Signs You're Golfing Too Much: 1. When you pick up something off the floor, you have to lean on your putter. 2. The only number on your speed dial is 1-800-TEETIME. 3. You have your priorities in order: Food, Shelter, Greens Fee, Job. 4. You tell the lost motorist that the gas station is only a par 4 away on the left. 5. You'd like to take off your glove but hey, why bother? 6. Whenever you see a hole in the ground, you squat, squint and read the line. 7. You're vaguely aware of living with a woman; allegedly your wife. 8. You ask the shopper ahead in the checkout line if you can play through. 9. Before you pick up the salt shaker, you mark its position with a dime.

What are the four worst words you could hear during a game of golf? It's still your turn!

Small Still Voice

I was recently in downtown Chicago using my GPS when the voice started spitting out different directions at every intersection. I spent an hour circling around tall buildings and congested store fronts only to find myself right back where I started from. As I called the destination in a frustrated panic, the operator gently said, “Turn off your GPS. They don’t work downtown. Now look to your right. We are the tall building you’re staring at.” I realized that the resource I had become so dependent on let me down. In the center of giant obstacles, communication becomes scattered. When communication breaks down fear and panic sneak up on us, we need to STOP and listen. “Go out and stand before me on the mountain,” the Lord told him. And as Elijah stood there the Lord passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain; it was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind, there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake, there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, there was the sound of a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his scarf and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave.” In the midst of our chaotic and hectic life, God’s voice is there. Turn off the GPS and listen.

Slash Your Risk of Heart Attack

--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. 2. That’s not to say we can't be couch potatoes the rest of the time. The study found that we need to stay moderately active for about 30 minutes per day in leisure activities that burn calories. These can be outdoor activities, such as yard work, or even indoors -- doing housework counts! The American Heart Association cites doubles tennis, ballroom dancing, riding a bike slower than 10 mph and gardening as examples of moderate-intensity leisure activities. 3. Don’t smoke. This one is key. 4. Drink moderately, limiting alcohol to one or two drinks a day. 5. Watch your weight and avoid obesity. Oddly enough, at least within the limits of this study, diet wasn’t tied to risk (except for a high salt intake, which raises blood pressure). And intense exercise wasn’t as crucial as the pace of moderate walking added to the other physical activities. Best bet, per the study, is to do at least four of the above steps if you want to cut your risk of heart failure in half. One or two won’t cut it. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Noteworthy Inventions QUIZ: GARNET CARTER 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. 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?

At The Paramount Theatre

• 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. • 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.

Iowa State University is implementing a Soil, Water and Nutrient Reduction project on airport cropland west of the airport along Wright Brothers Boulevard. This is the 19th project across Iowa. These demonstration projects are to show the benefit from strips of native grasses and flowers in crop fields to farmers, landowners and the public. The strips will slow runoff, reducing soil erosion and “strip” nutrients and chemicals from runoff before it get to our creeks and rivers. Linn County Pheasants Forever and Benton County Pheasants Forever donated the native seeds for this project which was planted on May 22, 2015. The planting was done by Habitat Forever, a Pheasants Forever organization. Seed donations are possible due to the generosity of Pheasant Forever members, sponsors and donors. The strips will provide habitat for birds, other wildlife and pollinator insects, which are declining in population. Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett and ISU researcher Lisa Schulte-Moore also planted Milkweed seedlings along the north edge of the field to provide critical food for Monarch Butterfly’s. This demonstration field lays along the south side of Wright Brothers Boulevard and is immediately west of the airport. Stop by and watch it develop.

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.”

Saving a Life from a potential catastrophe EVERY 10 MINUTES

• 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.”

but I’m never alone. I have Life Alert.®

AS SEEN ON

• 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.

STEAMBOATS (continued):

Page 15

• In 1802, at the urging Robert Livingston, U.S. For Advertising E-mail: sales@tidbitpapers.com orofCall (319) 981-3335 minister to France, Fulton turned his attention to steamboats. After two steamboat trials in France, one a failure and one a success, Fulton returned to America in 1806 and proceeded to build his famed steamboat the Clermont that successfully plied the Hudson River in New York. The Clermont’s first significant trip was from New York to Albany, a distance of approximately 150 miles. The Clermont left New York on August 17, 1807, and completed the voyage in 30 hours, including an overnight stop.

O W R F R A D

• The first voyage by the Clermont was met by the public with suspicion. Many referred to the boat as “Fulton’s Folly” due to its unusually long length and the smoke and fire associated with the vessel’s newfangled steam engine. Many thought it would blow up or sink on its first voyage; they were wrong! In fact, because Fulton wisely paid attention to passenger comfort, the Clermont became a very profitable vessel for transporting passengers to destinations on the Hudson River. Fulton subsequently formed and led a company offering services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.

• Following Fulton’s success, steamboats became a prime transporter of passengers and goods across the country. For example, in the steamboat port of New Orleans, 20 steamboat arrivals in 1814 increased to a whopping 1,200 arrivals by 1834. • The steamboat era in the United States continued until the 1870s, when railroads started supplanting the steamboat as the preferred transporter of passengers and goods.

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."
