Trivia

First topic message reminder :

I go first (easy one)...

Name 3 golfers who finished in the top 3 in the 2011 Order of Merit on more than one tour...

Who has the most holes-in-one on the PGA tour and what is the number?

No googling the answer please!

moe norman, 6.

McLaren wrote:moe norman, 6.

Negative.

Dow Fitzwald [?] .......23

Doon the Water wrote:Dow Fitzwald [?] .......23

What??!! According to my sources no. The number is greater than 6 and less than 23.

Art Wall?

kwinigolfer wrote:Art Wall?

Nope. He's a former Ryder Cup captain...


edit: most holes in one since 1971 on the PGA tour, there's conflicting answers on Google but I am going with the one on PGA.COM

Hal Sutton, and something like 10?

Exactly right, well done Ned.

OK for the newboys then!!!!!

Still think the correct answer is Dow Fitzsomething.

Only knew that as I remember it being mentioned when Billy Mayfair had one the other week, he's had several now as well I think.

Never entirely understood why the Tour "resets" its dates for records.

They have airbrushed
Arnold Palmer
Ben Hogan
Walter Hagen etc

They are American.
They are Major Champions.
But what other distinction do these three golfers hold:

Stewart Cink
Zach Johnson
Tom Lehman?

(Please: No speculation about religious affiliation!)

Payne Stewart guy/golfer/fundraiser/whatever it is of the year award recipient?

Not yet Grumpy, only Lehman so far!

Nationwide or predecessor tour graduates?

Well, so are several others . . . . . . . .

I did realise it was a bit weak and there were potentially many more that could be included in that group but I have now scraped the barrel in terms of my knowledge.

The three are the only three "Nationwide (or predecessor) Players of the Year" to win Majors.

You were pretty close so thought I should own up about that!!

So a combination of my answers may have come close, oh well, nevermind, just another reason why I score so poorly in Venice's fantasy league tournaments.

venice1 doesn't come here very much any more - I miss our conversations about other sports, music, films, politics etc etc etc!!

WHO AM I?

1).I am a professional golfer.

2).My uncle is in the Hall Of Fame.

3).I haven't played in a Tour event for quite a while now but I am a Tour winner, and once finished in the top 7 of PGA Tour events twelve times in one year.

4).My last Tour event was at Turning Stone Resort.

Notah Begay?

Not Notah. The Turning Stone reference is merely to focus on relatively recent performers.

Brad Quigley............

Brett

Not Quigley . . .

(PS: John: Iain Carter's an idiot!)

For those familiar with kwinis trivias, I always note what is NOT written.

So I guess we're not talking about the GOLF Hall of Fame and the father is not a golfer either.

i was thinking it could be an american football hall of fame

Iain Carter really dislikes you, doesn't he!!
Maybe he's afraid the Beeb will offer you a column

John,
That would be a step down!


pedro,
I can't imagine what you're getting at . . . . . . .

When Paddy turned 40, Tiger became ONLY player under 40 with multiple major wins. First time that's happened in modern era of 4 pro majors.

There are 14 players under 40 with 1 major win each.

I'd imagine that will change when Tiger turns 40.

I thought you were going to throw in a trivia spitball . . . . .

Robo Im taking that as a question ie Name the 14 players under 40 who have 1 Major each:

Rory
Kaymer
Bubba
Keegan B
Lucas Glover
Schwartzel
Oosthuitzen (apologies for the spelling)
Cink
G Mac
Ogilvy
Immelman
Z.Johnson


That's 12 i think.........

Actually I think it will change sooner than that... Other than Tiger... I expect to see several multiple major winners under 40 emerge in the next few years... before Tiger turns 40 for sure... I think

Nah... I'll leave the trivia questions to others... but I see JC picked up the 14 under 20's as a question anyway... #waytogoJC

Mr. P asks if this golfer was ever accused of doctoring his golf balls, like his illustrious uncle ?!

I think Mr.Plunky is spot on! Chris Perry!!!

And: Not as far as I know - he's had terrible injury problems the past decade but don't believe his salivary glands have been affected!!

Mr. Plunky was very happy to have something to take his mind of the NY Rangers !

These golfers have achieved 2 things in their career that very few manage, name those achievements...

Hal Sutton
