Kim Yong Il is so good that he holds all nationalities at the same time... just the demon american government prevent this leaking out as it would make them look very silly when they insist on sanctions against him.

Also. Nick Price is from Zimbabwe.

I do actually know about his Fedex Cup success by the way giving him the name Mr September... but the playgirl calendar thing is more amusing.

That's huge news re Kim Yong Il. Don't tell the Irish football team.

Nick Price was from Zimbabwe but born in Durban SA so took a punt on him.
I've got his book 'The Swing' at home - otherwise i wouldn't have known that.

The SA flag carriers who won majors are on my list. I know as I was talking to a South African bar manager in my village the other week and he bored me stupid with it while his barmaid was wrestling with changing a barrel. :606laugh:

If someone gives me 6 out of 6 i'll pop some more questions on.

Price doesn't count as place of birth is not and was not his naationality at time of winning,good try though

Damn it! Ha
We need someone knowledgable. Where's the Reverend?

MPB. at the club I was last a member of there was a member we used to call the reverend. He was a renowned cheat who could find a ball in a water hazard and make it playable.. would move markers on the greens... and all sorts of other things.

I don't think mr d4s would be overly happy to take on that particular nickname!

Ha, i reliquish the responsibility of giving Sir D4S the nickname. That was Doc's doing!

Second left-hander was surely Big Phil with Bob Charles being the first...

Ok answers for today, i'll pop some more questions up later

1. Gerry "Bubba" Watson
2. Due to he has played every single ro und of Fed Ex cup since its inception
3. Matchplay
4. Mike Weir
5. Tony Jacklin
6. Locke, Player, Els, Goosen, Immelman, Oosthuizen

Noshanking - Weir won the Masters in 03, Phil in 04

p.s. cheers Mav, good quiz, cheered up the afternoon!

Sorry to all my disciples for not providing you with the guidance required to get the answers correct. Would love to say I knew all the answers but I struggled on Bubba and forgot about Immelman.

Apologies also for missing the service this morning, I sneaked off to the course and attempted to relieve brother puligny of some of his hard earned pennies but alas it was not to be :crying:

Must add, that oldparwin won all the money today with 18 points on the front 9 and 23 points on the back 9, add to that 3 birdies at 50 pence each, my fellow golfers, all 15 of them were really pig sick, paying me the money

Is OldParWin also now limping severely after being kicked in the shins in the carpark by a masked golfer? :606laugh:

Just ended up with a sore back carrying my winnings from the clubhouse to my car :friend: :606laugh:

Sounds like a good start to the year at least! And a potential candidate for "Bandit of the Elevenses"

What a shame such a sparkling round and no mention of an eclectic! :shooter:

Oops sorry oldshanker forgot all about it, will send my card to you tonight.

Good point that I've got 5 cards burning a hole in my bag that need submitting

I played eclectic yesterday as well, no improvement. Keep birdieing the same piggin holes!
