Trivia Contest – July 2010 – Part 2

CONTEST IS CLOSED.  The answer is (A). Here’s a quote from The Independent, article by Steve Connor:

A small red spot on the glove of golfer Louis Oosthuizen is credited with playing a critical role in his winning of The Open Championship at St Andrews last Sunday. The coloured spot was a visible manifestation of the growing influence of psychology in sport – it was designed to help the 27-year-old South African concentrate on his swing in the crucial moments leading up to a shot.

We had 17 correct entrants.  Out of those, the 2 winners chosen at random are:

Zak Fehrmann (Blaketree National Golf Club winner)
BJ Rieck (Bear Creek Golf World winner)
