George Parker Bidder, a 19th
century Englishman, was a hu
man computer. Typical of the
problems he could solve in his
head is this one: If a pendulum
swings 9% inches in one second,
how many indies will it travel
in 7 years 14 days 2 hours 1
minute and 56 seconds if each
year consists of 366 days 5
hours 48 minutes and 56 sec
onds? Bidder had the answer—
-2,166,625.744% inches—in lass
than a minute!
A tuning fork that executes

of you ladies had better come
out and practice on ine put
ting green or buy one of the
pro’s indoor putting cups and
practice at home. Remem
ber, putting is half of the
game and any time you one
or two putt you are cutting
strokes off yoir score. Three
and four putts just add
strokes.
We hope to have our new
score cards in the shop for
this weekend and they should
be easier to read and will
have corrected yardage and
handicaps.
Just a note to help you
score better. Before you
start your round why don’t
you hit a bucket of bulls on
the range. This will loosen
up your muscles and get you
warmed up. A few players
have pulled a muscle on the
first tee and cannot enjoy
their game or play as well; as
they might. I know Gnc
player who hasn’t played jor
a week' because of this. Right,
Oscar?
A reminder for two ilcpis.
One, please turn in yfour
scores on the handicap board
so that you can establish a
handicap. You’ll need one
when we start our tourna-
