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 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 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

A golfer and his caddy walk up to a long par-3. The cocky golfer says, "Looks like a 4-wood and a putter" The caddy hands him the 4-wood and he swings and the ball lands about five feet in front of him. The caddy immediately hands him his putter and re-sponds, "It looks like you got one heck of a putt left!"

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.

GREAT SHOTS• 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.

• 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,

• On Aug. 13, 1903, engineer Felix Wankel, inventor of a rotary engine, is born in Lahr, Germany. Wankel reportedly came up with the basic idea for a new type of internal combustion gasoline engine when he was only 17 years old.

• On Aug. 15, 1914, the Ameri-can-built Panama Canal, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, is

inaugurated with the passage of the U.S. vessel Ancon, a cargo and passenger ship. Engineers moved nearly 240 million cubic yards of earth in constructing the 40-mile-long canal.

• On Aug. 11, 1934, the first group of federal prisoners classi-fied 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. 12, 1973, golfer Jack Nicklaus wins the PGA Cham-pionship for his 14th major title, surpassing Bobby Jones’ 43-year-old record.

• 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.

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 (2.4 m) of each other on the green.

• “Golf Digest” reports that there are an average of about 120 holes-in-ones reported every day.

FAST FACTS ABOUT GOLF • 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 (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

SOUTH DAKOTA QUICK FACTSIn 1817, an American fur trading post was set up at present-day Fort Pierre, beginning continuous American settlement of the area. During the 1830s, fur trading was the dominant economic activity for the few white people who lived in the area. More than one hundred fur-trading posts were in present-day South Dakota in the first half of the 19th century, and Fort Pierre was the cen-ter of activity. General William Henry Ashley, Andrew Henry, and Jedediah Smith of the Rocky Mountain Fur Company, and Manuel Lisa and Joshua Pilcher of the St. Louis Fur Company, trapped in that region.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Sometimes my cat “Bink” starts making “horking” noises and occasionally after some time will cough up a little ball of hair. But other times he just makes the noises without producing anything. Should I be concerned? -- Karl in Des Moines, Iowa

DEAR KARL: You can always contact your cat’s veteri-narian if you’re unsure about a potential health issue. In this case, Bink may be simply dealing with hairballs or trying to cough one up.

According to Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, it’s not unusual for a healthy cat to cough up a hairball every week or two. These vary in size but are rarely round because the esophagus compresses them somewhat as they are brought up. Hairballs are just that: a clump of indigestible hair, typically swallowed while a cat is groom-

Cat ‘Horks’ Up HairballsBy Sam Mazzotta

ing itself. Sometimes they’ll bring them up with a bit of undigested food as well, which is always a pleasure to clean up, right?

If a cat has several episodes of retching without producing a hairball, or if it vomits or is lethargic, contact the vet. It could have another problem, either digestive or even respira-tory, that only the vet can diagnose and treat.

So, can you prevent hairballs in cats? No, not really. Grooming is natural and healthy, and hairballs are a by-product of this. You might be able to reduce their size and

frequency by feeding Bink a diet that keeps his coat healthy, with less shedding. Groom him often, even daily, to remove shed hairs.

Should you give him a hairball remedy? Many vets rec-ommend against it, as they do little to minimize hairballs.

Noteworthy InventionsQUIZ: 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?

• The average resident of North America con-sumes about 600 sodas ev-ery year.

• Another good reason to recycle: The energy saved by recycling one glass jar is enough to watch TV for three hours.

• 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.

• Everyone has seen bonsai -- those tiny trees that are pruned into aesthetically pleasing shapes. Many people don’t realize, though, that even trees that grow to be giants of the plant world, such as redwoods and giant sequoias, can be used to create these miniatures.

• The United States once issued a bill of currency that was worth 5 cents.

• The name of the popular Japanese dish teriyaki liter-ally means “shiny and broiled.”

• There is only one bird that can swim but not fly: the penguin, of course.

August 3 - City Council Meeting - 7pm/Community CenterAugust 4 - BSC Senior Citizen Potluck Lunch - 12pm/Community CenterAugust 6 - EDA Meeting - 1pm/Community Center

The Big Stone City Branch Public library concluded its Summer Reading Program with root beer floats, out-door games, and prizes awarded to the top readers. From the 15 children that participated in the SRP-- a total of 170 hrs. was read in the 6 week program, according to their reading sheets that parents signed their signature on for each 15 minutes the child read at home. Students either received a T-shirt with the logo,"Every Hero has a Story", which was the Summer Reading Program's theme, or they received a new backpack. All backpacks were donated by the Horizon's committee in Big Stone City. Heather Voeltz was the program activ-ity leader and Elly Anderson was the teen helper. One member of the Horizon's Committee of Big Stone City came and served a snack to the children each week after their activity was over. Mrs. Janelle Kelly is the Librarian of the Big Stone City Branch Library, and she says it was another fun summer with great kids participating.The children were also given the option, if they wanted to come and participate in the Big Stone City 130th Celebration parade on Sunday, July 12, riding on the library float. They wore their homemade capes and masks they made during the 6 week program with the theme "Every Hero has a Story". Two other teen helpers were Marshall and Cassidy Voeltz, who also participated and helped Mrs. Kelly the day of the parade.

• I have a pair of pants I wear while gardening. The knees wore out, naturally, and I went to sew patches on the knees.

I left the top of the patch open, and when needed, I slip in a piece of foam rubber. Magical knee pads! -- R.E. in Oregon

• Are you great behind the lens of your camera and love animals? Consider donating your time to your local animal shelter as a pet photographer. Showing Mittens and Fido off to their best advantage can mean the difference in their finding a forever home. Check with your

local rescue organizations, too!• To clean your tarnished silver jewelry, simply line a tray or

shallow bowl with aluminum foil, lay the pieces on the foil and fill with a hot water and detergent solution (NOT bleach-containing). You also can use baking soda and hot water. Swish and allow the tarnish to transfer to the foil. Use a soft cloth to dry.

• If your car’s windshield or back window fogs over, try this trick, borrowed from the bathroom: Spread regular shaving cream over the window

and wipe clean with a cloth. Buff off any streaks with newspa-per. This will last a good while! -- P.P. in South Carolina

• Now is the time to tighten your cane-bottomed chairs. Flip the chair over, then soak the cane with hot water and allow it to dry fully in the sun.

• If your plastic wrap gets sticky, place it in the refrigerator. You even can store it there to keep it easy to unroll. -- L.K. in Arizona
