St. Raphael Celebrates Pastor’s One Year Anniversary And Looks Ahead

By Jennifer Walkup n July, St. Raphael Catholic Church in Livingston celebrated Pastor Father Lito’s oneyear anniversary with the church. The parish reflected on a year of great hope and change in the church, and is looking forward to plans for St. Raphael’s future. “Father Lito is open-minded and warmhearted,” said parishioner Kristen Carrotto. “He creates a positive atmosphere of belonging, and acceptance for all. He strongly promotes ‘an attitude of gratitude’ making us realize every day how much we have in our lives to be grateful for and that God has truly blessed us.” When asked about his vision for St. Raphael’s Church and his message to the community, Lito said, “I want everyone in the community to know they are welcome here. Come as you are.” Lito, who many in the parish refer to as “a priest of the people” and “never judgmental” has had many life experiences that have led him to his position in Livingston. He was ordained in 1993, after completing his philosophy and theology seminars at the Diocese of Lucena in the Philippines where he

served as Vice Chancellor and Secretary to the Bishop until 1996. He also worked as a teacher at the seminary and director of Communications, all while running the diocese radio station, a pop station with ten percent religious programming geared to reaching youth. While he did not have parish experience in the Philippines, his work with the community helped to hone his skills and love of involvement with people. In 1997, Lito was sent to Rome for a post-graduate degree in social communication at the Roman Pontifical University of Holy Cross. He graduated in 2000 with a three-year degree before moving to the United States, where

he served at St. Teresa in Kenilworth as an assistant priest and parochial vicar for sixteen years. In 2013, he was formally accepted and incardinated as priest in Archdiocese of Newark. In 2016, he was assigned as pastor at St. Raphael in Livingston. When he arrived at St. Raphael, the church was in a transitional period and needed changes to make the parish vibrant again. This past year, many positive things have changed for the parish. Lito has focused on the religious education program and family events. Some of the additions include a living nativity with animals at Christmas, an Easter Egg Hunt complete

with the Easter Bunny, and many pageants and plays throughout the year with the religious education classes. “We have the most wonderful staff here at St. Raphael,” Lito said. “Everyone here is generous and kind and harnesses their gifts to serve the community, church and children. I am happy to provide any opportunity for them to bring these gifts and service to the church.” St. Raphael has many long-time volunteers and teachers in the parish. They are very happy with the changes the last year has brought to the church as well as the surge of hope they feel under Lito’s incontinued on page 2

West Orange Arts Center To Hold Numerous Ipadology Events

Padology/Abstract Expressions explores how the combination of the iPad, apps, and printers can be used to create abstract images that extend the vitality and reality of photography. The exhibit, curated by Mansa K. Mussa, will be featured at the West Orange Arts Council Art Center through Sat., Aug. 27. “I’ve always struggled with the idea of being an abstract artist, and when I started using the iPad three

years ago I found a process to realize the potential of creating abstract images,” states Mussa. “This exhibit is unusual for me because all of the artists have taken iPadology workshops with me in private sessions and workshops in the area.” The exhibitioning artists are: Antoinette Ellis-Williams, Ellen Foto, Fran McClain, Abeni Mussa and Mansa K. Mussa. Throughout Aug., the art center will host additional

Ipadology events. On Aug. 16, from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. one can view Cuba, Si!, New Photographs and iPadology images from Mansa K. Mussa’s trip to Cuba in July. A free iPadology Demonstration for families is set to be held on Sat., Aug 26, from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. For further information, visit: www.woarts.org; email Patricia Mitrano at pmitrano@gmail.com.

Pastor’s One Year Anniversary... continued from front page spiring leadership. “He has created a sense of wanting to get involved, for all to participate for the growth of our parish,” said parishioner Nellie Marootian. “He wants everyone to feel welcomed. He is patient and kind and makes everyone feel like they are lifelong friends.” Another parishioner, Edith Martin described Lito as “energetic, inspiring and a visionary!” In the coming year, the church has many more plans to grow and improve the parish, such as the addition of the new youth minister which will be shared with West Orange’s St. Joseph Church, as well as many fun additions to the religious education program. Some of these plans

include things like monthly themes, a church learning tour, recitation of the rosary, Bible Jeopardy competitions and at least three or four Old and New Testament plays. Through this active role the children will take in their religious education, they will learn more and have fun. Denise Flannagan, assistant supervisor of Religious Education said, “Father Lito is helping us see the good in everyone and strive to be who God wants us to be.” The church also has a new priest in residence, the recently retired Father Joseph Bejgrowicz, who was a mentor to and great influence on Lito during his years at St. Teresa. “Father Lito is part of

our families,” says parishioner Maria Lee. “He is a calm and patient man that sees good in everyone, he has a generous heart, and he gives without limits. He is funny and a true innovator for the church. We need more priests to be like Father Lito. All are welcome is his view. He unites us.” Lito talked about his hopes for the church in the coming years. He expressed that he wants everyone to feel welcome no matter what. He says he is “all about compassion, happiness and comfort, not about rules.” He adds that his source of happiness is to see children smiling and happy in church. “As Jesus said,” Lito expresses. “Let the children come to me.”

Frutta Bowls Grand Opening In Livingston Offers Freshest Picks Around

By Cheryl Conway he choices may be endless, but no matter the picking, the fruits and veggies offered at Frutta Bowls in Livingston will delight the palate and nourish the body. The health- crave of eating fruits and vegetables in a bowl is spreading in New Jersey and throughout the country. Frutta Bowls just opened up on S. Livingston Ave. in Livingston on June 12, where the former location of Rita’s Ices was located. A franchise operation, Frutta Bowls in Livingston is the sixth store to open in N.J. Owners Gionna Marotta of Caldwell, a graduate of James Caldwell High School, and Morgan Mason of Cranford are no strang-

ers to working as a team. The pair worked hand-inhand on Drew University’s women’s lacrosse team in Madison before graduating in 2017. “The newest craze of bright fruit bowls mixed with creative fruit combinations has hit Essex County- Livingston,” the owners announce. “These delicious acai, pitaya, and kale bowls that are healthy and Instagram worthy, are bringing happiness and positive vibes to each and every customer.” Mason and Marotta “are top collegiate athletes that have trained hard and believe in living a healthy lifestyle,” they say. “Both are committed to create a fantastic experience for their customers and love

helping others in their community.” Their idea to enter the arena of entrepreneurship stems from another one of their teammates, Brooke Gagliano of Freehold, the founder of Frutta Bowls who opened the first store in Howell. As stated on its website, “When our founder, Brooke Gagliano, first tried acai berry pure, she was floored. Brooke is an extremely driven person who had endeavored and succeeded in becoming a top collegiate athlete by training hard and living a healthy lifestyle. But that healthy life style was not always filled with pleasant tastes. After college, Brooke was searching for what she could do in life to meld what she had

committed most of her life towards and a career. After trying acai for the first time on a vacation, she immediately began to incorporate it into her daily meals at home and from there Frutta Bowls was born.” At the age of 22, Marotta and Mason were inspired to follow in Gagliano’s path and become franchisee partners. With Mason’s major in economics and Marotta’s major in business studies, these two women have the perfect recipe for success in their business. On top of that, their product is not only tasty but fresh and so healthy. Frutta Bowls specializes in acai, pitaya and kale bowls along with oatmeal continued on page 5

Non Profit Accepting Monetary Support And New Donations For Care Packages

By Cheryl Conway ontinued support from the community has helped to save this non-profit organization in providing services to victims of sexual assault for more than a dozen years. SAVE, a non-profit program founded through the Family Service League counseling agency, provides comprehensive services to victims and their families of sexual assault. Established in 2004, SAVE was formerly called the Essex County Rape Care Center. Through financial support and donations from the community, SAVE has been able to maintain its services such as its 24-hour emergency hotline, emotional support, counseling

services, prevention education presentations and rape care packages to victims. Kearny Bank in Caldwell is collecting items for SAVE during the months of August and September in its office. Items can be dropped off at 417 Bloomfield Avenue, Caldwell. Call 973-226-7911 for more information. SAVE is in the need of new items in the sizes of large and extra-large. Sweat pants, sweat shirts, women’s cotton underwear, socks, deodorant, feminine products, tooth brushes, tooth paste, bottles of water and granola bars are in greatest need. “When we go to hospitals we bring with us a rape care package,” says Christine Ferro-Saxon, executive

director of SAVE, mostly to provide change of clothes and necessities for the victim “so they can wash up.” It is customary for the police to collect all the clothing worn by the victim after an incident and the victim is told “not to brush their teeth. To wash up is the worst thing you could do.” As a member of the Essex County Sexual Assault Team, SAVE provides comprehensive services to victims. Other members of that team include Confidential Sexual Violence Advocates, law enforcement and forensic nurse examiners. “We come from start to finish,” says Ferro-Saxon. When a victim goes to one of the four sexual assault regional team hospitals, which include St.

Barnabas in Livingston, University Hospital in Newark and Newark Beth Israel Medical Center of Mountainside Hospital in Montclair, “the team is activated,” says Ferro-Saxon.

“We are the emotional support for the team during that process,” says Ferro-Saxon. “We accompany victims through the evidence collection process at several area hospitals. We

go with them,” to the police department to make a report, “then they are referred back to us in Montclair for counseling services. We are there from the start then continued on page 10

Did You Know?

elenium is a trace mineral that can be very potent in cancer prevention. According to Susan G. Komen, selenium helps antioxidants work more effectively and may reduce cancer incidence as a result. Selenium also may kill cancer cells and help normal cells repair their DNA. According to a Harvard study

of more than 1,000 men with prostate cancer, those with the highest levels of selenium in their blood were 40 percent less likely to develop advanced disease over the next 10-plus years than men with the lowest levels of selenium in their blood. In addition, data from a fiveyear study from researchers at Cornell University dis-

covered 200 micrograms of selenium per day resulted in 63 percent fewer prostate tumors and a 39 percent overall decrease in cancer deaths, among other benefits. Selenium is found in Brazil nuts, yellowfin tuna, halibut, sardines, and many other foods.

continued from page 6 they come back.” SAVE also operates a 24-hour emergency hotline from callers who are anonymous to talk to a trained advocate to get information and emotional support. “We recommend people call to get their options as soon as possible,” says Ferro-Saxon. “It’s confidential; they don’t have to give their name. They can call us anonymously and ask questions.” Bilingual advocates and therapists are provided. Calls are received, not only from victims of sexual assault, but from professionals such as nurses, college personnel and police officials seeking more information on victims or resources, she adds. SAVE also serves as an outreach resource to the

community providing prevention education work at schools, colleges and community centers. “We customize presentations to age groups,” says Ferro-Saxon, covering topics such as healthy relationships and dating, to “educate young people to minimize the victims of rape.” According to Ferro-Saxon, “We are the only program in the county that services survivors of sexual assault.” Before SAVE came into play, a Safe And Sound Program was offered through University Hospital, says Ferro-Saxon, but services were not as comprehensive. “Every county in New Jersey has a rape care center,” she says. “Essex was the last one to have a

program. Essex has one of the highest rates of sexual assaults. Family Service League saw it was necessary to fill that gap.” In 2016, SAVE handled 165 sexual assault team accounts; 1,157 counseling sessions by those sexually assaulted and significant others affected by the assault; and 3,122 were received by the hotline, she says. While the majority of SAVE’s clients are from Essex County, the organization does provide counseling services to anybody, says Ferro-Saxon, a trained therapist with SAVE since 2008. For in-crises intervention services, SAVE deals with victims aged 13 and above, both male and female. Most do fall between

the ages of 18-24, she adds. Even though SAVE does receive funding from the state and county, as well as some private resources and grants, Ferro-Saxon says monies are limited. “Every year we are at the mercy of state and federal budgets,” she says. “We rely on community support. We need more community funding and support.” The organization has held some smaller campaigns and relies on some local businesses to collect items for the Rape Care packages and kits. “Unrestricted funding is our biggest need,” she says. Grants are earmarked for specific needs like a bilingual counselor. What SAVE needs is “more funding to pay for administrative roles,” and capacity

building of the program. “We are working with such a small pot; many are wearing many hats; we have multiple layers,” with staff needing to be available on weekends, holidays and the middle of the night. SAVE does rely on volunteer advocates, who do receive a stipend, as well. Advocates must be 21 and older, complete 40-hours of training, and are able to handle this line of work. “It’s difficult volunteering,” she says. Volunteers “need to be able to tolerate the emotional part and medical part; have to be willing to go into hospitals in the middle of the night. There’s a lot of emotional burnout in this job. They see or smell something beyond what they can comprehend. We understand

this is not easy work.” Financial donations are being received via the website at familyserviceleague. org; mailed to 60 South Fullerton Ave., Suite 109, Montclair, N.J., 07042; call 973-746-0800 to have donations picked up. For emergency hotline, call 1-877-733-2273. “Our goal is to encourage people to seek help regardless of how long the assault happened. We want to advise people where they could go. We have people from all over the county. This could happen in your backyard but there is help if it does.” SAVE received an award by the North Essex Chamber of Commerce on June 8 as the 2017 Outstanding Non-profit Organization.

Six Ways To Help Prevent Bullying

utting an end to bullying is everyone’s responsibility. Whether at home, school or elsewhere, it’s important that we’re proactive. Here are five ways that kids and parents can do their part. 1. Don’t be a bystander. It’s true that it takes a lot of courage to stand out from the crowd and defend a victim of bullying. After all, the risk is that you’ll become the next target simply for speaking up. But reporting bullying and being there for someone who needs it are actions you’ll be proud of for the rest of your life. 2. Stop sibling bullying at home. You may think it’s harmless, but it’s not. Disdainful eye rolling, relentless teasing, humiliating taunts, hitting and verbal abuse directed at a sibling can cause depression and anxiety. Make sure your home is a safe place for everybody who lives there. 3. Enlist the help of adults. If you see a need for increased adult supervision at highrisk times and places at school or at home, ask for help from a trusted adult. 4. Get on board with an anti-bullying campaign at school. These campaigns show kids that bullying is not cool and won’t be tolerated any longer. Make an anti-bullying banner and use social media to advertise the

fact that you stand up against verbal and physical violence. 5. Parents: get involved. If your child is a victim of bullying, you need to take the situation seriously. Schools, the police and child psychology experts vigorously object to the belief that bullying is a childhood rite of passage. If the problem doesn’t stop, talk to the school authorities, and then to the police if there are no further improvements. At home, be vigilant about sibling bullying, and make it stop. 6. Pay attention to cyberbullying. Those who use cell phones, internet or other devices for social media interaction open themselves up to the latest form of bullying. Parents, be aware and get involved. Teach your child proper usage of these devices and reinforce that sending any text, message or photo that is cruel, hateful or threatening is as harmful as face to face bullying. Learn about the internet and pay attention to what your child is doing online. All users should be taught cyberethics and the law to prevent cyberbullying. Don’t be a victim. Don’t be a cyberbully. Bullying is no longer seen as a normal rite of passage for children; it’s a preventable behaviour that we can eradicate through education, awareness and action.

Rolling Thunder Provides Awareness And Helps Veterans In Need

“

Since World War II, more than 83,000 MIA cases have remained unresolved within military files. An MIA is a casualty classification assigned to combatants and prisoners of war (POW) who are reported missing during wartime. They may have been killed, wounded or captured. If deceased, neither their remains nor grave site have been positively identified. For these four veterans, 83,000 unaccounted soldiers left overseas on distant battlefields was an outrage. “They said we have to take a stand and do something to raise awareness,” Malanga continued. On May 29, 1988, Corporal Manzo recruited 2,500 men and women from all over the nation to

edged enough in certain military circles. By the end of the meeting, they parted ways with a mission in mind: to bring full accountability for the ‘Prisoners Of War’ and ‘Missing In Action (MIA)’ of all U.S. wars. For Diane Malanga, the secretary of Rolling Thunder’s 3rd Chapter in New Jersey and an official member for almost a decade, Rolling Thunder’s goal hit close to a place close to her heart. “They were deeply troubled knowing these men and women were forgotten,” explained Malanga, “thinking of their families who have not had a chance to have closure. My father served in World War II and Korea and my son just left for boot camp.”

By R.E. Wagner end them home! We will not forget!” This is just a handful of statements rising above the steady rumble of passing motorcycles during the demonstrations, community events and charity drives organized across the country by the non-profit organization known as Rolling Thunder. In 1987, former United States Marine Corps Corporal Ray Manzo, U.S. Army Sergeant Major John Holland, Marine First Sergeant Walt Sides, and Sergeant Ted Sampley had lunch together at a diner in Somerville. They were meeting to discuss an unsettling issue that they, as servicemen, felt wasn’t being acknowl-

Did You Know?

eople who periodically experience difficulty sleeping may benefit from spending more time outdoors. According to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, sleeping outside can be beneficial to the sleep-wake cycle. That’s because spending

time under the stars increases melatonin levels in the body. Melatonin is a hormone that controls wakefulness. Higher levels help the body relax and induce sleep. The researchers found that individuals who spent a weekend in the woods camping out at night

fell asleep earlier and rose an hour and a half earlier in the morning. For those who don’t like to camp, increasing exposure to daylight and then avoiding sources of artificial light (i.e., televisions and cellphones) at night can help create a similar effect.

continued from page 12 states, Rolling Thunder has no plans on slowing down. The non-profit’s rosters are filled not only with veterans and active duty military personal, but their families, friends and those who seek to honor the soldiers who never made it home. In New Jersey alone, there are four Rolling Thunder chapters consisting of hundreds of members. The Garden State is also home to Rolling Thunder’s National Headquarters located in Lebanon. “I joined the chapter three in 2008,” Malanga said, before sharing her fond memory of her first event with Rolling Thunder at the Community Living Center in Lyons. “There were snacks and karaoke, the veterans just loved it. The music, the visit, was so awesome for them.” Malanga rem-

inisced, “One of the most rewarding parts of being a member is making the difference for a veteran. I was hooked from that moment.” In addition to raising awareness of their mission statement to bring home missing soldiers, Rolling Thunder Chapters across the nation provide financial support to help veterans in need. “At times our aging veterans struggle to pay bills,” Malanga explained. “We help with money to pay for heating and have also helped many Veterans with rent or mortgage payments. Last year, Chapter Three raised approx. $24,000 through various events, rides, personal donations and fundraising.” Through charitable donations, as well as organizing community events for service men and women, Rolling Thunder Chapters

are known to host events at hospitals and nursing homes like picnics and pizza parties for Veterans. An annual program known as Christmas Families is held where New Jersey Rolling Thunder Chapter members provide gift cards from Shoprite, Walmart and Toy- R-Us to help Veterans during the holidays. Although primarily known for their roaring motorcades and biker persona, Rolling Thunder encourages anyone with a passion to pay respects to service men and women to volunteer their time or donating to the cause. Interested in donating or volunteering? Contact a local Rolling Thunder Chapter to learn more, or write to the National Headquarters located in Lebanon at P.O. Box 216 Neshanic Station, N.J., 08853.

Group Requests Others To Paint Their Face Blue For Autism

new nonprofit has started a campaign to get individuals to paint their faces blue for autism. Spectrum Works, a nonprofit that provides job training and employment to individuals with autism, announced that 80 percent of autistic people are unemployed. It has set out to change this statistic with a new campaign, #GoSpectrumBlue. The blue face challenge was created by Spectrum Works to spread the word that people with autism can be great employees and to directly create jobs for individuals with autism. The challenge consists

of painting faces blue, sharing a photo and the challenge message on social media or via email, and challenging friends to #GoSpectrumBlue too. Paint kits are for sale at www.gospectrumblue.com. Ann Marie Sullivan, founder and CEO of spectrum Works said “The challenge goes beyond just spreading a message. Young adults with autism are actually a part of this campaign in concrete ways. Not only do all profits from the sale of paint kits provide jobs and job training for individuals with autism, but our trainees are also helping with graphic design, order fulfillment,

and other logistics of the #GoSpectrumBlue challenge.” Participating gives people the opportunity to join the movement and help Spectrum Works spread the word that people with autism can be great employees. Participants are encouraged to pass the challenge along to friends by sending them their own face paint kit. Paint kits are for sale at www.gospectrumblue.com for $10 and can be mailed directly to friends at no extra cost. Spectrum Works’ initial goal is to sell 10,000 #GoSpectrumBlue Paint Kits.

Online Exhibit Delves Into Sound Technology

he National Park Service has announced the release of an online exhibit and videos that explore the beginnings of recorded sound technology. The web presentation, titled “The Origins of Sound Recording,” is available at www.nps.gov/ edis/learn/historyculture/ origins-of-sound-recording.htm. Recent research calls attention to the work of French inventor Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville. Scott’s phonautograph, patented in France in 1857, graph-

ically inscribed airborne sounds over time onto a permanent medium. As such, it was the earliest sound recording device. Twenty years later, Thomas Edison independently re-invented sound recording in the form of the phonograph – the first device to both record and reproduce, or play back, sound. The web exhibit, authored by researcher David Giovannoni, contextualizes and compares the innovations of Scott and Edison. It also explains the role of Charles Cros, a visionary Frenchman who

conceptualized sound reproduction just weeks before Edison. While both Scott and Cros clearly anticipated a number of essential elements of Edison’s phonograph, historical evidence indicates that Edison conceived of sound recording without prior knowledge of their work. A physical version of the exhibit, which includes a full-scale replica 1859 Scott phonautograph, is on display at Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange this summer through Aug. 27.

Painting Rocks, Making Friends In West Orange

By Anastasia Marchese here’s a new social media craze going on this summer -painted rocks! Painting rocks, and then placing them in a public space to be found by neighbors, can be a fun way to connect with people one may not otherwise have met. The idea is simple; paint a rock with whatever design inspires. Some may want to paint a silly face, or an encouraging word. Other people consider the shape of the rock and then paint it to compliment that shape, like a heart or a rainbow, for instance. Once painted, the rocks need to be sealed so that the paint doesn’t just wash

off in the rain or sprinkler spray. On the back of the rock, group members put the web address of the community page where people are posting pictures of their found rocks. Then you go to a public place, like a park, and hide the rocks somewhere safe for passing folks to find. Perry Bashkoff organized the West Orange ROCKS group. When he started the Facebook page earlier this year, it came as an idea from a friend of his wife, Nikki, who had a ROCKS group going on in her town. Bashkoff contracts with the town of West Orange to help pass information on to community members via social media out-

lets. Being an entrepreneur and small business owner, Bashkoff saw the need for better communication between the town and its citizens following Hurricane Sandy. So many people were without power and looked to their phones for information, but the town wasn’t posting info on social media. More and more, people look to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other social media outlets to get their news; local, national and international. Groups like #WORocks help get people outside, into the town parks, and meeting their neighbors, he said. There has been a lot of media interest in the #WORocks group, with CBS do-

ing a news report and various papers writing news stories about the growing group. More than 600 people have joined the Facebook group. With growing membership, however, some basic guidelines can be helpful to keep the environment and community members safe. Bashkoff reminds members of the Facebook group to write on the back side of their rocks: “#WORocks, Keep or leave, Post to Facebook group.” He advises participants not to leave rocks in grassy areas maintained by groundskeepers, as they may damage mowers. He also advises not taking stones from any water source, river or stream and

Career Closet Receives Handbags From Brighton Store

he Career Closet, a program of the Linda and Rudy Slucker NCJW/Essex Center for Women, was the recipient of trade-in fashion accessories from Brighton Collectibles. The store held a trade-in event from July 14 to July 23. This is the sixth year the Brighton Collectibles store at the Mall at Short Hills has held the event, with the Career Closet being the recipient. “Brighton is to be commended for its support of women entering the workforce who are faced with the financial challenge of having interview and work appropriate clothing,” said Isabel Margolin, co-chair of the Career Closet. “This

is really a wonderful thing for the NCJW/Essex Career Closet.” Brighton offered $25 to $50 off new handbags when buyers traded in their own gently-used handbags. The gently-used handbags were then donated to the Career Closet. This year, the Career Closet received 92 handbags from the annual 10-day event. Volunteers at the NCJW/ Essex Career Closet, located in Livingston serve as personal shoppers to assist women in obtaining career attire and accessories appropriate for the workplace. Women are referred by the NCJW/Essex Center for Women and other social service agencies and receive coordinating clothing

and accessories appropriate for interviewing and the workplace at no cost. The objective is to help women enter an interview or begin

a new job with confidence. The Career Closet is open to clients by appointment only.

Interesting Facts About Golf

olf is played all over the globe. Golf is one of the world’s oldest sports, boasting a rich history. Golf is a sport of skill, that can involve not only athletic prowess, but also brain power. Here are some interesting facts about the game. • To this date, golf is only one of two games to be played on the moon. The other is a javelin throw. • Long before the advent of tees, golfers played off of hand-built sand piles. • In 1889, Ab Smith inadvertently coined the phrase “birdie,” when he hit a shot he defined as a

“bird of a shot.” • Making a hole-in-one during a round of golf is quite a challenge. However, the odds of making two are incredibly low, at one in 64 million. • Only around 20 percent of golfers have a handicap below 18. The United States Golf Teachers Federation defines handicap as “a measure of a player’s current ability over an entire round of golf, signified by a number. The lower the number, the better the golfer is.” • The word “caddy” comes from “cadet,” the French word for “student.” • A regulation golf ball contains 336 dimples.
