Latina, me parece muy interesante tus comentarios en este "hilo". Me identifico mucho contigo al no poder entender el chiste; yo he oído la cancion miles de veces y hasta la fecha nunca recuerdo que el primer dia son perdices. Me es muy dificil enteneder la letra cuando cantan este villancico. Listening to Alan Partridge trying to get the word 'cubs' and hearing how tired he sounds only drives home just how long we've been watching & listening to the great man. Eagle", a score of two under par for a given hole, was clearly the extension of the theme of birds for good scores from a " birdie". It would be natural for American golfers to think of the eagle, which is their national symbol and the term seems to have developed only shortly after the 'birdie'.

Albatross is the term for three under par and is a continuation of the birdie and eagle theme, but is in fact a British term. Ab Smith said his group used the phrase 'double eagle' for three under ( see Birdie above), which is still the term most Americans and the name for their Double Eagle Club (membership by invitation only).

In return for your help, I’m happy to offer the pilots who actually drop the bombs complimentary membership of my club and all other USAF and RAF personnel, 50 per cent off the usual green fee. Dr Browne, Secretary of the Great Yarmouth Club, adopted the idea, and, with the assent of the club's golfers, this style of competition was introduced there for use in match play. During one competition Mr CA Wellman (possibly Major Charles Wellman) exclaimed to Dr Browne that, "This player of yours is a regular Bogey man". This was probably a reference to the eponymous subject of an Edwardian music hall song "Hush! Hush! Hush! Here Comes the Bogey Man", which was popular at that time. So at Yarmouth and elsewhere the ground score became known as the bogey score.Meriweather is the playing partner (but I think it’s not too much of a spoiler to say creation) of golf writer Clive Agran. A previous recipient of the ‘ St Andrews Festival Golf Humour Award’ Clive has been scribing on our glorious sport for an undisclosed number of years – safe to say – more than me. There’s a “Highly Controversial” section which I think best to leave to the reader to enjoy without too much further… Partridges are medium-sized game birds, generally intermediate in size between the larger pheasants, smaller quail; they're ground-dwelling birds that feature variable plumage colouration across species, with most tending to grey and brown. A 'condor' in golf is a score of four (4!) under par. This can be achieved by scoring a hole-in-one on a par-5 hole, or by taking two strokes on a par-6 hole, which are themselves as rare as hen's teeth. Until recently, the idea of a condor was not considered to be possible and certainly few people were aware that anyone had scored one.

By 1919 the term was being introduced to Britain, as when Mr H D Gaunt's explained the use of 'birdie' and 'eagle' that he met in Canada. For many years, eagle was always introduced as American terms, as in 1922 when Cecil (Cecilia) Leitch described a putt for a 3 on a par-5 hole as 'securing what is known in American golfing parlance as an "eagle"' (Golf XII 1922 p 202). Since the ball was a pretty decent one, I ventured into the woods in search of it. Although I never in fact found it, what I did discover was indeed quite remarkable.

Given the likely historical significance, I’m reluctant to post the objects. Would it be possible to bring them along and show them to an expert? Cosman, Madeleine Pelner (1 July 1983).

The original charm and authenticity is gone and what's left is an empty narrative.

Confieso que el chiste es buenisimo, pero no le entendí al inicio por no saber nada de golf (cuando leí el titulo pensé que era un error relacionado a la canción). Species such as the grey partridge and the red-legged partridge are popular as game birds, and are often reared in captivity and released for the purpose of hunting. For the same reason, they have been introduced into large areas of North America.Heavy rain will have rendered the club slippery and early man, without the benefit of modern all-weather grips, will have needed to improve adhesion by effectively roughing up the top of the club. This will have given him a competitive edge 12 and, who knows, improved his chances of capturing the Club Championship and mating with whoever he chose from the women’s section. The significance of these is quite clear to me. If indeed what I found was an early, say Neolithic golf club, it would have been used during a particularly wet period in the earth’s history. No standard terms for 2 or 3 or more over Par have emerged. They are just double and triple Bogeys. Depending upon how good you are, anything over 7, 8 or 9 will be a ‘Blow-up’ or a ‘Disaster’.

Golfing condors have been recorded six times around the world over the last 60 years in the USA, the UK and Australia. Until 2020, they were all par-5 'aces'. More details can be found here. Joyce Wethered once suggested that a hole-in-one should be called a Curlew, known in Scottish as a 'Whaup', which, though fitting, did not catch on. The 150-acre farm is ideal for golf in every respect other than it is almost completely flat. Although flatness might be a significant advantage in an airfield, it is quite definitely a disadvantage in a golf course.Using an innovative 'dual narrative' structure you sometimes see in films, Big Beacon tells the story of how Partridge heroically rebuilt his TV career, rising like a phoenix from the desolate wasteland of local radio to climb to the summit of Mount Primetime and regain the nationwide prominence his talent merits.
