Why does Golf reference birds?

From www.golfhistory.net In common with others, the Historical Dictionary of Golfing Terms (1993) believes that "Birdie", meaning a score of one stroke under Par on a given hole comes from the 19th century American slang term "bird", meaning anything excellent. The Country Club in Atlantic City lay claim to the first use, as mentioned on the USGA website. In 1962 the US greenkeepers' magazine reported a conversation with Ab Smith. He recounted that, in 1898/9, he and his brother, William P Smith, and their friend, George A Crump, who later built Pine Valley, were playing the par-four second hole at Atlantic City, when Ab Smith's second shot went within inches of the hole. Smith said "That was a bird of shot" and claimed he should get double money if he won with one under par, which was agreed. He duly holed his putt to win with one under par and the three of them thereafter referred to such a score as a "birdie". The Atlantic City Club date the event to 1903. Whether this claim is an exaggeration or not, the word Birdie is certainly derived from the American vox pop term 'a bird of a score' and hence a Birdie. Eagle, Albatross, etc are just extensions of the "bird" theme.

Which golf clubs should I be looking at if I want to spend between 1000 to 1500 Australian dollars?

The ones that feel best when you hit them. Look at club demo days put on by the various manufacturers and visit your local golf shops. Find a club that is pleasing to the eye, performs well, and lends itself to a bit of custom fitting. Provided you have solid fundamentals, knowledge of the game, and good mechanics, the club that responds best when you hit it is the one to buy. Should that set cost less that 1000 Australian dollars, all the better!

How do you stretch upholstery vinyl for seat covers on a golf cart?

The best way to get vinyl to stretch smoothly is to have a heat source to make it a little more pliable and to get all the wrinkles out. A hairdryer works well, if you have someone available to hold it for you and heat up to spot you're working on.

Mark the centers of the edges of the seat cover as well as the centers of the board it will be stapled on.

Begin stapling your cover at the center on all four sides. Work your way toward the corners, working in any fullness gradually.

Pull down hard on the vinyl as you staple it to make it a snug fit, but be sure to pull it evenly all the way around.
