More July Golf Trivia Winners

The winners of the 2nd July 2010 Trivia Contest are:

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

Here’s a recap of the question.  Do you know that Oosthuizen employs a mind-training trick to help him with his concentration on the course? The idea came from sports psychologist Karl Morris. What technique is credited with helping Louis Oosthuizen win the British Open?

A) Focusing on a small red spot on his glove during his swing
B) Thinking of the taste of his favorite sandwich as he setup to the ball
C) Right before each shot, extending his left index finger off of the club
D) During his pre-shot routine, looking up into the clouds for 2 seconds to clear his mind

Here’s a quote from The Independent (author Steve Connor) that details the answer:

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.

The next contest is starting tomorrow, so come back soon.

U.S. Open Pebble Beach Fever

The latest and greatest Guess That Hole contest of June 2010 ended yesterday.  I thought it was pretty easy, but that’s just because I’ve played there a bunch.  The correct answer was Bear Creek Masters Hole #8.  There were only 8 people who got it right and the winner chosen at random is:

Mark Kramer (Sugar Land)

Congrats to Mark and his 3 lucky friends who get the free golf 4some at Bear Creek Golf World.

I’m not quite done today.  As you may have heard on the news, this upcoming weekend is the FRIGGIN U.S. OPEN!!!!!  At Pebble Beach none the less!  So many story lines to choose from.  Will Phil take over the #1 ranking?  Can Tom Watson follow up his amazing run at last year’s British Open on another course he’s won at? Oh, and there’s this guy called Tiger Woods who’s also playing.  Can he finally put some magic together?

This week’s Houston Golf Nut Trivia Contest is opening up right now.  Enter HERE!  There are 2 prizes up for grabs.  Free golf at Fort Bend Country Club and free golf at Houston National.

Don’t forget.  Houston Golf Nut has already given away OVER 60 ROUNDS OF FREE GOLF in 2010 and the year isn’t even half way over!  Check out the winner’s list and past contests here.

More Free Golf in April

Okay, Houston Golf Nut has a few announcements today.  First, let’s talk about the April Trivia Contest.  I think practically everyone got the answer right: Nick Faldo in 1996.  That’s the year when the Shark totally collapsed and Sir Nick Faldo was there to pick up the pieces.

There were over 25 correct entries to this contest and the winner, chosen at random, is Scott Simmons.  Congrats to Scott who won a free 4some at Longwood Golf Club.

Now to some even better news.  Houston Golf Nut is starting April Trivia Contest Part 2 today!  This contest will run through Sunday, April 25th.  Go to the Trivia page to find out the question, read the rules, and enter the contest.  Good luck to everyone!  (Oh, the winner of this contest gets a free 4some to Bear Creek Golf World, an awesome prize indeed.)
