Linda Laurie
Linda Maxine Laurie was an American singer and songwriter, best known for the novelty record "Ambrose (Part 5)", which went to #52 on the '' Billboard'' chart while she was still a high school student in 1959. "Ambrose (Part 5)" While attending Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn, New York, Laurie wrote and recorded a number of demo records, including "Sunglasses," which Linda recorded with her friend Linda Yellin as the "Knott Sisters"; the song failed to chart. Another of Linda's songs was an odd tale of a girl walking through a dark subway tunnel with her boyfriend Ambrose, who implores her to "just keep walking."

"Ambrose (Part 5)" (despite the name, there were no parts one through four) entered the Billboard charts in January 1959 and peaked at ...

Ambrose (golf)
Variations of golf include methods of scoring, starting procedures, playing formats, golf games, and activities based on or similar to the sport of golf which involve golf-like skills or goals. Some variations are essentially identical to golf, but with only minor differences or focusing on a specific aspect of the game, while others are more distant and arguably not simple variations but distinct games. Many of these variations are played in non-professional settings, without the presence of officials and sometimes without strict adherence to any official rules. Sometimes the rules are in place to provide a structure for side-betting that is independent of the final "traditional" score. Scoring formats Stroke play In stroke play, the score is derived by counting the total number of strokes taken. Match play In match play, the score is derived by counting the total number of holes "won" and subtracting the number of holes "lost". Stableford Under the Stableford scoring sys ...
