Posted August 18, 2007. My wife is telling me that I now occasionally yell in my sleep. Once I was yelling OW! repeatedly, and once she couldn't make out what I was saying. After waking up I do not remember any dreams that it could be related to.
Succinctly, a gimmie is a putt so short a golfer considers it unmissable, so just picks it up and counts it as holed. To be more precise: A gimmie putt is one that a player requests be conceded by another player, allowing the first player to pick up and move on as if the putt had been holed.
A gimbal is a pivoted support that allows the rotation of an object about a single axis. A set of three gimbals, one mounted on the other with orthogonal pivot axes, may be used to allow an object mounted on the innermost gimbal to remain independent of the rotation of its support (e.g. vertical in the first animation).
