The Language of Golf.

It is we'll established that the
game of golf is of Dutch origin and
that it was first played on the ice.
The word golf Tin its older forms
goff, gouff or gowf) apparently
evolved from the German kobe,
"a club" which became koh in
Dutch.
Just when golf was introduced
into Scotland is not known, but in
1457 the Scottish Parliament became
alarmed over the games popularity
and issued a decree that "golf be
utterly cryit doun and nocht usit."
Despite this and later DEGREES, golf
prospered, and in Scotland it became
known as "the Royal and Ancient
Game of Goff."
The word links" in Scottish, orig
inally designated undulating sandy
and hilly land along the seashore.
Golf courses were called links be-
cause they were most numerous
along the coast.
Bunker, in both Scottish and Irish,
means "a sand hole or pit" Since
the links were commonly located
along the seashore, bunkers were
natural hazards.
In Scotland, oblongs of turf are
used for covering the roofs of cot
tages. Such piece of turf is called
a divot, hence, in golf piece Of turf
cut out In making stroke.
The word "caddie" is Scottish
corruption of the French word cadet,
which, In French, Is pronounced:
ka-DEH. In Scottish usage caddie,
originally, was "a young boy" espe-
cial one who runs errands.
Mashie apparently is an old Scot
tish corruption of the French word
massue, "a club" The origin of nib
lick Is uncertain. Cleek is from the
middle English cleken, "to clutch. !"
Putter (rhymes with "butter'D is
from the verb putt, a Scottish dia-.
lectal form of the verb put.
Bogey Is one stroke above par on
a hole. The term is an allusion to
the rather good score OF Colonel

WOOdchuck,

Woodchucks or groundhogs fail
often as weather prophets. Being
the only animal with day on our
calendar does not create any am
bition in the chuck's mind to
make good.
Man bestowed the honor on the
woodchuck as a weather prognos-
ticator, not nature, so why heap
blame on the lazy sleeper of the
underground?
Much has been said about the
animal who loves t6 steal our gar
den stuff, but he improves on
better acquaintance. While he is
prone to indulge himself, he is an
engineer Of parts. Understanding
that proper drainage is essential.

His preference for a home site
is in the woods or rolling meadows.

Goren on Bridqe

Critical losses at the bridge
table are incurred not by bidding
too much or too little, but by land
ing In the wrong contract. Our
current methods are based on
quick raises Though this practice
may result in our occasionally 60
ing overheard, we find ourselves
more often playing spade hand at
spades and not at hearts or no
trump. Large adverse swings are
thus avoided.
Changes in the system inaugu-
rated at my recent teachers con-
vention were ever so slight. The
principal innovation was, that
raise of partners major suit take
out may be made by the opening
bidder with, very slight additional
values. So that when the bidding
has proceeded
Opener Responder
heart spade
2 spades
! spade 2 hearts
or hearts
opener may have very little over
a minimum, provided he has ade-
quate trump support for partner.
In fact, holding four of partners
trumps we lean toward the raise
even with minimum opening.
In today's hand, North's failure
TO support his partners suit re-
suited in staggering loss for his
side. Having opened the North
hand with one club, we would have
offered partner an immediate raise
of his spade takeout. North as
serted that he feared to do this in
asmuch as partner was apparently
thinking in terms of slam and that
he wished to avoid offering any
undue encouragement. We do not
hold with this view. If partner had
responded with one spade to, our
opening bid of a club we would
have felt constrained to raise to
two spades, having a shade over
our minimum requirement, ade-
quate trump support and a ruffing
value. BY the same token the raise
should be offered as. more descrip-
tive of the type of hand when
partner makes a jump shift.
South's bid of three diamonds
was a maneuver made in the hope
of eliciting further information
and at this point it was highly
reprehensible of North not to show
preference for spades. South
then resorted to a Blackwood call
(after a, jump shift four-no-
trump bid is looked upon as a
Blackwood call even If it is a raise
of partners no-trunp bid and
after ascertaining that his partner
had an ace and two kings con-
tracted for a grand slam at no
trump. When hearts and clubs
would not break he lost the hand.
Tt was admittedly hard luck
that he was unable to pick up
either the jack Of hearts or the
queen of clubs, but at a contract
of seven spades he would not have
had to rely on the favors of chance.
