The Shark Attacks

Okay, this last trivia question was a softball.  Almost everybody got it right, but there were a few sad sacks out there who didn’t.  For a refresher, here’s the question again.

Who holds the most weeks at the number 1 world golf ranking after Tiger Woods?

(A) Jack Nicklaus
(B) Greg Norman
(C) Nick Faldo
(D) Phil Mickelson

As stated in the intro of the trivia page, the World Golf Rankings didn’t start until 1986.  That pretty much eliminates Jack.  Everyone should know that Phil has never been #1, although it’s in his sights this weekend.  That leaves Greg and Nick.  I found this perfect chart on Wikipedia:

Now we know that Greg Norman is the correct answer (and by a long shot).  And I think we can also see how Tiger Woods has treated the rest of the PGA like a red-headed stepchild with a glass eye and a wooden leg.

Out of all of the correct entrants, 2 winners were chosen at random.  And the Houston Golf Nut Trivia Contest – May 2010 Part 3 winners are:

Dale Morrison – Free Round of Golf for 4 (including green free, carts, and range balls) at Blaketree National Golf Club (Tuesday – Friday)

Stephen Schulz – One Round of Golf with Cart for 4 Players at Houston National Golf Club (Mon – Thurs)

The next Trivia Contest will start on June 1st, so come back soon.

May Winners – Houston Free Golf

"Give me an X!"

The 2nd Houston Golf Nut Trivia contest of May just ended and the 2 lucky winners (chosen at random from over 30 correct entrants) are:

Belinda Leatherwood – Free 4some at Bear Creek Golf World

Steve Perry – Free 4some at Southwyck Golf Club

Visit the Contests page to see a list of all the winners and to review old trivia questions and answers.

Wanna get your name added to the winners list?  You’re in luck because the 3rd Trivia Contest of May starts today and runs through Sunday, May 30th.  This is another double whammy with 2 prizes – free 4some’s at both Blaketree National and Houston National.

Sorry Steve, had to do it.

TPC in TPC Sawgrass Stands for…

The Houston Golf Nut Trivia Contest – April 2010 Part 3 (that’s a mouthful) concluded yesterday.  The question was:

What does “TPC” stand for in “TPC Sawgrass”?

The CORRECT answer is “Tournament Players Club”.  The most popular WRONG answers were “Tournament Players Course” and “The Players Championship”.

From the TPC website (http://www.tpc.com/about.html):

Also, from a couple of Wikipedia articles:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tournament_Players_Club
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Players_Championship

Since 1982 The Players Championship has been played across the road from Sawgrass Country Club, on the Stadium Course at the “Tournament Players Club at Sawgrass” (usually referred to as the TPC at Sawgrass). It is not uncommon for “TPC” in this context to be conflated with “The Players Championship” because they happen to have the same initials – in fact, this confusion was the reason why the tournament’s original name was shortened to just “Players Championship” prior to the 1988 event, although some confusion between the two still persists occasionally.

Out of the correct entries, the random winners are:

Glenn Emshoff – Free 4some at Blaketree National Golf Club

Tom Dane – Free round at Clear Creek Golf Club

This picture is a representation of Glenn and Tom winning their free golf.

Thanks to everyone for their participation and the next contest for free golf will be starting soon.

Getting Ready for League Event part deux

I’m officially joining the Little John Golf League tomorrow.  I played in my first event as a guest at Blaketree about 2 weeks ago.  Our event tomorrow is at Bear Creek Masters.  I played there once before about 2 years ago and shot horribly. 

I remember the day before that painful experience I thought I had figured out “the secret” to golf.  I crushed balls on the range that day… no matter what weapon I chose, it was long and straight.   “Eureka!” I thought, “I better book a tee time ASAP so I can utilize my newly discovered talent and wisdom….”  The next day when I went out to conquer the world, I shortly realized any gained insights on the driving range vanished while I slept and I went on to shoot my worst score of the year!

Hope the sequel is better than the original!
