Exempel på hur man kan använda GUTTIE i en mening

• Robert Adams Paterson (sometimes spelled Patterson) invented the gutta-percha ball (or guttie, gutty).
• The guttie ball revolutionized golf and Robertson's featherie business did indeed collapse, although Robertson quickly moved to manufacture the guttie, which was made from liquid rubber (gutta percha) found in Malaysia.
• Morris worked under Robertson at St Andrews until 1848, when he was fired on the spot after being caught by Robertson playing the new gutta percha golf ball ("guttie"); Robertson had a profitable business making the featherie golf ball, which was threatened by the emergence of the guttie.
• During his 1870 win, he began the tournament by scoring a 3 on the first hole of 578 yards, using hickory shafts and a guttie ball, holing a long fairway shot of about 200 yards; given the distances which were possible at that time, this may have been the first-ever albatross (double eagle), assuming a par of 6 for that hole; the term 'par' had not yet been formally invented.
