The system of Travellers Choques was originated in 1891 by the American Expross Company with the object of creating a form travel currency which would give the holder the security of a latter of credit and at the same time the convenience of local Currency. The Company registered the cheques under the trade CEMD of AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' the world "Travellers' being spelled with ona “1” The advantage of the Cheques was no apparent that other banking institutions adopted the ayatom.”

The idea of letter golf is to chango one word to another and do it in par, a given number of strokes. Thus to change COW to Hen, in three strokes,. COW, HOW HEW HEN.
2-You can change only one letter at time,
8-You must have a complete word, of common usage, for each jump. Slang words and abbrevia- tions don't count.
4-Tho order of letters cannot be changed.
