Comments on: International Women’s Day http://listics.com/20070308949 We're beginning to notice some improvement.

par example

quote:

The word golf was first mentioned in writing in 1457 on a Scottish statute on forbidden games as gouf, possibly derived from the Scottish word goulf (variously spelled) meaning “to strike or cuff”. This word may, in turn, be related to the Dutch word kolf, meaning “bat,” or “club,” and the Dutch sport of the same name. But there is an even earlier reference to the game of golf and it is believed to have happened in 1452 when King James II of Scotland banned the game because it kept his subjects from their archery practice. Golf Timeline.[21]

There is a persistent urban legend claiming that the term derives from an acronym “Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden”. This is almost certainly false as acronyms being used as words is a fairly modern phenomenon, making the expression more likely to be a backronym.[22]

From SkyMallPedia:
Designated Driver


You double-bogeyed the first hole. Lost your ball on the second. Hit a
house on the fourth. So maybe it’s time to reach for the other driver,
the one that dispenses a little liquid talent.


A great invention for drinks on the links, the Designated Driver fits
easily into your golf bag and holds 48 ounces of cold or hot beverages
(enough to satisfy a thirsty foursome). A keg-like pump mechanism
dispenses the juice from the insulated container out the top.

  Includes cleaner brush.

I hope they add a good ball washer to SkyMallPedia.  Like maybe a Starke one (2).

Although this is c l assy:
