by pedro Mon Apr 02, 2012 12:09 am

Thanks Fader.

Which European country has produced 4 wins (major tours) in the same weeekend?

by mystiroakey Mon Apr 02, 2012 12:24 am

england- the obvious one first-- although i doubt its that simple

by kwinigolfer Mon Apr 02, 2012 3:38 am

Sweden?

(I still love the fact that New Zealand had three male winners one weekend!)

by Fader Mon Apr 02, 2012 5:51 am

Sweden?

Scotland.

by mystiroakey Mon Apr 02, 2012 9:27 am

ireland

by princedracula Mon Apr 02, 2012 9:57 am

by pedro Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:20 am

Sweden is the right one.
2008: US PGA Tour, European Tour, Challenge Tour, Ladies European Tour.

(I didn't consider the senior tours.)

by mystiroakey Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:27 am

Is that the only european country to do that?

by Fader Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:28 am

Out of interest who were the winners as that was a pure guess

by pedro Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:55 am

Carl Pettersson, Peter Hanson, Klas Eriksson, Lotta Wahlin.

I only considered Euro and US major tours (excl. senior tours, i.e. 6 tours in total) - and only in "modern times". To my knowledge no other European country has done that (incl. UK), but please let me know if I'm wrong as there are no official stats for that.

by kwinigolfer Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:05 am

I've asked this a couple of times before, but does anyone remember who the three New Zealanders were to win on the same Sunday:
European Tour
PGA Tour
PGA Seniors Tour
?

by mystiroakey Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:18 am

michael campbell

by kwinigolfer Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:20 am

Not Michael Campbell.

by mystiroakey Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:21 am

ermmm!!

Excuse me kwini but i dont know enough kiwi players- or was von nida a kiwi?

by kwinigolfer Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:24 am

Von Nida was an Aussie, and you don't need to go back quite that far!

by mystiroakey Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:25 am

I remeber reading his bio as a kid! funny dude.

Erm tiger woods ex caddie?

by princedracula Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:32 am

Charles, Turner, Waite

by Fader Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:50 am

Is Nobilo a kiwi! Is he one!

by mystiroakey Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:53 am

Nobilo sounds kiwi....

Actually most of my family immigrated to kiwiland so i should know more about the place. in all fairness i must visit one day..

by kwinigolfer Mon Apr 02, 2012 12:12 pm

princedrac has it spot on.
And, yes, Frank Nobilo is a Kiwi

, I sometimes buy Nobilo wines from the producer owned by a distant branch of his family!

by princedracula Mon Apr 02, 2012 12:23 pm

ok, my turn then...
Another easy one Wink

as it is very similar to kwini's kiwi question above...

Name four New Zeeland golfers who won on the same Sunday!?
Shocked

by mystiroakey Mon Apr 02, 2012 12:51 pm

Sorry Prince i dont know that one. But will throw another one out there.

Name the 6 brits that won on a monday

by princedracula Mon Apr 02, 2012 1:26 pm

Struggling to think of many more Kiwis! Alker? Paddison?

by kwinigolfer Mon Apr 02, 2012 3:45 pm

Might be Smail / Perks / Campbell / Nobilo.

I'd think Smail might be in there somewhere. Or Lynnette Brooky.

by princedracula Mon Apr 02, 2012 5:34 pm

Ned, kwini,

good tries, but still pretty 'cold' I'm afraid...

Clue #1:

Three of them are... Charles, Turner, Waite!
But who is the 4th?!

by mystiroakey Mon Apr 02, 2012 5:36 pm

kwini in his local medal?

by kwinigolfer Mon Apr 02, 2012 6:22 pm

I'm stumped on the Kiwi.

Apart from Steve Williams, and those we've mentioned, I really can't think of another NZ golf personality of that (1993?) era.

by princedracula Mon Apr 02, 2012 6:49 pm

Clue #2: He shares his first name with one of the other three...
(he wouldn't be probably as big a personality as some of the others, though)

by kwinigolfer Mon Apr 02, 2012 6:57 pm

Two clues then!
It's a HE!!
And it's not Simon Owen!!!

I'll come back when everyone else has had a go. My memory chip has blown up.

by I'm never wrong Mon Apr 02, 2012 7:04 pm

Grant Moorhead.

by mystiroakey Mon Apr 02, 2012 7:09 pm

your wrong

by kwinigolfer Mon Apr 02, 2012 7:13 pm

I think I'm never wrong is right!

Interested to see what quiz inquisitor pd has to say.

by princedracula Mon Apr 02, 2012 7:15 pm

He's right clap

...won the West Australian Open in Perth the same Sunday

by I'm never wrong Mon Apr 02, 2012 7:18 pm

My go then. (Easy peasy one)
What feat was achieved recently at a Ryder Cup course? (I'm off out for a bit, so will check back in about 3 hours)

by mystiroakey Mon Apr 02, 2012 7:19 pm

what lol- he was right!

hole in one at the belfry 10th

by kwinigolfer Mon Apr 02, 2012 7:20 pm

Belfry: Hole in one on #10.

Grant Moorhead, who'd've thunk it! Not me, for sure.

by mystiroakey Mon Apr 02, 2012 7:24 pm

just pipped ya Smile

by I'm never wrong Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:00 pm

Yep - hole in one on the 10th at The Belfry. Well done after a very vague question.

by McLaren Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:02 pm

Jack Nicklaus has a 24 year span between his first and last major win, who are the players in joint second behind him in this list?

by kwinigolfer Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:09 pm

Player?

by McLaren Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:20 pm

Bloody hell, that was quick kwini. Do you know the other guy?

by mystiroakey Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:22 pm

hary vardon?

by McLaren Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:26 pm

Not quite mysti, vardon is a year short of player and the other guy.

by mystiroakey Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:39 pm
