LINCOLN

The now widespread name 'Lincoln' originated in a city in eastern England, UK. Its name is a contraction of the Latin ''Lindum Colonia'', which was the name of a colony for veteran Roman soldiers. When the English counties (called "shires" at that time) were established in around the 11th century, Lincoln became the principal town of Lincolnshire. Various municipalities in the Commonwealth of Nations are named in honor of
Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
The name Lincoln was later taken as a surname. The most widely known person with this surname is 'Abraham Lincoln', sixteenth President of the United States.

★ Lincoln (long gimme putt), "It's a Lincoln" is a golf phrase for conceding a long putt to a partner during a golf competition. Typically, a Lincoln is greater than 3 feet and less than 12 feet, although this distance may vary unless a laser range finder is used. Typically, local golf rules allow only one "Lincoln" per round, and it can be declared by any member of a team. Lincolns were recently discovered in eastern North Carolina among practicing professionals, and seem to be more common when a green is tricky and a large wager is at risk.
