Trivia: “Where was the term ‘birdie’ first coined?” Answer below.
It’s nice to see the PGA Tour back in full-field action. The Hawaiian and west coast swings have traditionally made for some challenging television schedules, but no longer. We can now enjoy primetime, real time coverage by The Golf Channel. These are good times for the golf spectator.
Of course, this past weekend, along with what seemed like most other Americans, Tiger Woods was in Washington, D.C. enjoying the many inauguration events. Tiger actually took to the podium and spoke quite eloquently about the values instilled in him by his father, and by his father’s career in the military. Tiger hosts the AT& T National tournament each year in the D.C. area, all in an effort to celebrate and honour American servicemen and servicewomen everywhere.
Meanwhile, the greatest female golfer ever, Annika Sorenstam was busy in Florida hosting her own inaugural event, the first ever playing of her Annika Invitational tournament for female juniors from around the world. The first year was apparently a great success, so henceforth the top 60 female juniors globally will be invited to Florida to learn from Annika and compete for the Annika Invitational title. Fantastic!
Back here in balmy Kitchener-Waterloo, we keep making steady progress towards the grand opening of Parmasters KW. Parmasters HQ – officially named Golf Training Centers, Inc. – our franchisor, continues to make stunning progress also. They’ll make some big announcements in the coming weeks.
And the answer: “At the Atlantic City Country Club in New Jersey in 1898. There, a member described a well-played shot as a ‘bird of a shot.’”
