Golf Gift IdeasHave more fun with your golf gift ideas, by popping them into a box or gift bag, and including a card with a little divot of golf trivia, like these. Marching Down the Fairway What does golf have to do with the Colonel Bogey March, better known as the theme song from the movie “Bridge on the River Kwai”? The composer, Kenneth J. Alford (1881-1945) was putting around a golf course in Scotland when he heard a two note descending minor third, and it stuck in his mind, becoming the basis of that famous tune. Golf Rules! One of the most unusual rules in golf was noted by famed writer Evelyn Waugh, who observed that at the Jinja, Uganda golf course, one was permitted to remove the ball from a hippopotamus footprint, without penalty. Shafted in Scotland In the dying days of ye olde style golf clubs, where iron heads were attached to wooden shafts, it was a dual effort. “Cleek” makers, which was a term coined from the club that somewhat resembles today’s 1 iron, forged the iron head and put their stamp on it, then it was assembled the club maker, who created the shaft and affixed the head. In the late 1800s, most club heads bore the mark of both makers. The Day a Golfer Mooned America In 1971, Alan Shepherd, commander of the Apollo 14 lunar mission, used a one-handed swing to smack the ball with a six iron, driving it what he quipped to be “miles and miles”. Even with the Moon’s one-sixth gravity compared to Earth, he later revised that distance to between 200 and 400 yards. And he blew the first attempt. You Mean It’s Not Just a Game? “Golf is, in part, a game; but only in part. It is also in part a religion, a fever, a vice, a mirage, a frenzy, a fear, an abscess, a joy, a thrill, a pest, a disease, an uplift, a brooding, a melancholy, a dream of yesterday, and a hope for tomorrow.” - New York Tribune (1916) | ||||||||
