erm.. mickleson and ernie

David Toms and Ernie Els???

Sorry guys, been out for a while.

Casey is one (withdrew after a couple of rounds one year) but WHO is the other?

50% so far to Mac.

striker's not playing this year, doubt if he's played many, if any, of these, he'd rather be huntin', fishin', skinnin' animals.

scott

Darren Clarke??

Not DC

Bjorn

poulter

Who won The Open playing with a set of clubs he made himself.

the first winner- dont have a name sorry

Sorry wrong answer
First Open winner was Willie Park from Musselburgh [the home of golf]
He beat 7 others to win at Prestwick.[the second home of golf]

Well Gene Sarazen had one he designed himself....

so is st andrews the 3rd home of golf?

Tommy Armour (the silver scot) 1931 open

Sorry

Clue is there 'Made himself.'

Misti..........St Andrews is a long way down the list.

really ok didnt know that ,


i have no idea on this one, to tough for me

Another clue

If he made his own clubs he must have been a .......clubmaker.

...........from St Andrews

...........his brother was an honoury member of the R&A.

Is it either old Tom Morris or young Tom Morris?

I am gonna find out. because i will never get it

It was Willie Auchterlonie. 1893.

Think that was before my time

Just logged in .

Auchterlonie's shop still in existence just behing the 18th at the Old Course.

Who am I?

I won my first ever event as a college golfer.

I have competed in the le mans 24 hour.

Greg Norman

You're McLaren, of course

Clue: My father won 51 times.

Only player i can think of with 51 wins is billy casper and he had 11kids i think so could be one of them?

I was thinking that, Mav. But was reluctant to add that if a clue had been that one of his sons was doing time in San Quentin, it would be a lot easier!
(But extraneous information has not been popular today . . . . )

rue enough kwini true enough, depends on the context i guess.

was aware of that about one of his brood. but i guess when you have that many the odds of that sort of things shorten. am i right in thinking 6 of his 11 are actually adopted

Not sure Mav, But I DO know that it was annually a very poiignant occasion at the Father / Son tournament, seeing which son Dad had turned up with, and to hear the commentary talk about his lad's problems.

Always a very enjoyable event to watch, all except the nauseating sight of Ray Floyd kissing his grown sons, (one of whom apparently also has had his troubles with the demon drink and whom Allenby took on as a caddie during the Fall Series while Floyd Jr carried an electronic bracelet).

Not a member of the casper clan.

Tout wins, or total pro wins?

Didn't know that about Casper's son! Just googled it... no great fan of the Mormon golfer, but 100 years + for a drug addled burglary spree?!? I've heard of harsh sentencing, but jeez.....

As for the current question... can't see an American competing at Le Mans. So.... didn't Seve have 50-odd wins, and some competetive sons? Raul Ballesteros maybe?

pedro

Who said they were golf wins.

Mac,
We need another clue:
1).I won my first event as a college golfer.
2).I have competed in the Le Mans 24-hours race.
3).My father won 51 times (and it is stressed that this may not be golf).

So far, it's not Greg Norman, McLaren, Casper or Ballesteros.

One of the French guys' father's was a rally driver, Snobeck maybe, or Delamontagne? Don't think I'm on the right lines there though

Mad quess would be Nigel Mansell son, think his name is Leo
