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...

ok lol

They all won the US Amateur Championship.

I knew you'd get it kwini, yes these are some of the few players to go on and win a major after winning the US amateur.

But there's more. Some years ago, they all turned down the opportunity to play in an invitational for charity.
Turning Stone.

Ok

I once held the record for holding the longest televised putt.

I am Irish

I once said "Who knows what hellish future lies ahead? … Actually, I do. I've seen the rehearsals,"

Sounds more like Kim Jong il to me.

Terry Wogan

well done

Never knew he held record for the televised putt, but I knew the quote!

How come he was putting on TV!

pro celebrity dude- he did it in 81

Wogan's putt was at the 18th ay Gleneagles Kings

Name the only team not to concede a goal to Spurs at White Hart Lane this season.

Norwich?

Didn't read question carefully enough. Hearts; shame about the first leg eh Doon

Aye, we were not fully prepared for them at Tynecastle. [cough]

.......and they all live on the golf course and drink thier Martini's dry.

Name the tune and singer who wrote those lines?

I didnt have a clue so i cheated.. In actual fact I was surprised how well i know the song, its catchy.

I know who sang it, but did he actually write it?

Assume you're going for two different answers so I'll leave the full package to someone else which may be a little ticky tacky.

The singer sang at one of the Inaugural hoo hahs prior to Obama's presidential inauguration . . . . . . .

Pretty he/she wrote and sang it, but could be wrong!

Just checked and to my surprise Kwinni is correct.

So singer only please as writer is a bit obscure.

Ps Spot the missing 'sure ' in last post.

It's this blasted heat, it's getting to me, eight days in the mid to high 20's.

Correct, Slammin' Sam won the 1962 Royal Poinciana Invitational, an LPGA Tour event.

Jings Incont, you were quick to answer your own question....good one though.

Slammin Sam could still kick his own hight well into his 70's.
How many of us could do that in our 20's???

no-one else wanted to answer it.

Yes, Sam Snead was an athletic anomaly, he could have excelled in any sport he attempted.

Two brothers finished runners up in consecutive years in a PGA Tour event within the last thirty years, though neither ever scored a Tour win.

Who are these two (male) bridesmaids?

that sounds so hard

google cant even tell me

That's the idea!

yeaah its a good one- but for the life of me i cant even think of two brothers that played the game

I can think of a few brothers, but most of them had at least one sibling in the winners' circle - Bryant, Sutherland. The only name I can think of, also had a sister who played on the LPGA Tour I believe....

Nothing to do with Billy Kratzert . . . . .

hank and trip keuhne?

Too early for Harold and Graham Henning unless it is a Seniors event.

How about Jack's two boys ?

How about Dean & Brenden Pappas.

What about Laura Davies...?

Well done Fader,
At the Mississippi event, behind Luke Donald and John Huston respectively.

I was thinking of the Rinkers! Still wrong anyway though

Oops, Forgot about them. Good shout!
Gallaghers might be on that list also, no brother though.

I have an Olympic Trivia question for you:

I've seen some Olympic Events and some Medal Ceremonies, and was surprised once to see a Continental European athlete on the Winners' Podium and hear the British Anthem being played, intentionally.

Where was I and what were the circumstances?

They're an independent competitor so they don't have a national anthem

Hi Grumps. And NO! The medallist certainly represented a specific country.

Strange. good question Kiwni..

Do they play the constructers national anthem in F1 and motorsport?

But they are not olympic events..

But I have heard that a nation can choose any anthem to be played rather than there own!

You have stumped me dude, because i cant think

Doesn't Liechtenstein or some such tiny state share the tune?

Gibraltar?

Smithers,
You're very close!
Hanni Wenzel won two Olympic golds at Lake Placid, slalom and giant slalom, and Liechtenstein, as you suggest, doesn't have an anthem!
So they played ours.
As they did later for Robin Cousins.

Liechtenstein's anthem is the same tune we call the National Anthem. It's used quite a lot - there's an American song which uses that tune too - not the National Anthem though.

Can anyone guess the yardage of Augusta national from the lady's tees to the nearest 100 yards?

5320

mysti

it was a joke as there are no womens tee's. Seen as they are not allowed to play and all that.......
