First topic message reminder :

I'll start.

Name the only golfer in the world who has won professional tournaments in six decades?

by kwinigolfer Wed 09 Nov 2011, 2:11 pm

Sarazen did a lot of commentaries, so I'll pick him!

by SpacemanSpiff Wed 09 Nov 2011, 2:14 pm

Gary Player?

by Doon the Water Wed 09 Nov 2011, 2:21 pm

Mike Souchak

by Faldono1fan Wed 09 Nov 2011, 2:48 pm

Not Couples,Floyd or Aoki.

Should have said competed Kwini! Not Sarazan.

by Faldono1fan Wed 09 Nov 2011, 2:48 pm

Not Player or Souchak.

by NedB-H Wed 09 Nov 2011, 2:57 pm

62 til 70? Arnie must have a shout?

by pedro Wed 09 Nov 2011, 3:01 pm

Seve or Annika?

by Faldono1fan Wed 09 Nov 2011, 3:01 pm

Palmer only appeared 5 times. This player appeared in 11 episodes.I'll give you a clue they were all between 1962 and 1970 so that will rule out any modern day players and any seniors that appeared since 1994.

by Maverick Wed 09 Nov 2011, 3:02 pm

Going out on a limb is it one of

Lee Trevino
Di Vicenzo - Sure he was in a lot of the early one

actually how about Dave Marr. he played in a fair few and presented on some of them too.

If its none of them i'm stumped, tom Watson maybe.....

by Faldono1fan Wed 09 Nov 2011, 3:03 pm

Di Vicenzo is correct Mav.Well done! Very Happy

by Maverick Wed 09 Nov 2011, 3:05 pm

Wow, i'm shocked that was literally pure guess, based on players active in the early 60's...

Shocked he had more than Palmer and player

by kwinigolfer Wed 09 Nov 2011, 3:14 pm

Great question Faldo - RDV: who'd've thunk it?

by Faldono1fan Wed 09 Nov 2011, 3:16 pm

They tended to match up an american against a non american and I guess he was one of the best non americans around at the time. Player only appeared 3 times in it. Perhaps he just enjoyed playing in it.

by Maverick Wed 09 Nov 2011, 3:19 pm

Who'da think it indeed: Ok so next who am I:

1. I served a golf scholarship at Arizona State.
2. I have been Rookie of the year
3. I qualified for the tour in my first attempt at Q School
4. I have been an Official member of the PGA, Nationwide and European Tours
5. I have appeared in 2 ryder cups

Now you must have googled that.......

Own up man.....

by MustPuttBetter Wed 09 Nov 2011, 3:52 pm

Whilst trying to cheat and look this up I have found out that Azahara Munoz went to Arizona State. I think I'm a little bit in love with her rose

MPB at least you admitted you tried to cheat... But also accept while your a little bit in love with her she is very lovely...

Come on Pedro own man... Your turn to pose a question

by MustPuttBetter Wed 09 Nov 2011, 3:56 pm

I wouldn't have posted the answer after cheating. Just knew I didn't know...

by pedro Wed 09 Nov 2011, 4:00 pm

Guys, just to let you know that I didn't cheat! I always liked PUJ. Actually my second guess would have been Fulke.

by kwinigolfer Wed 09 Nov 2011, 4:00 pm

P-UJ,
Darn it, I knew that too!
Watched him play his ex-roommate Phil at Oak Hill . . . . . .
Nice one!

Fair play Pedro. I too liked Per Ulrik.

Kwini interesting point that about his Roomie, same NCAA team I believe.

by pedro Wed 09 Nov 2011, 4:09 pm

When mentioning 2 Ryder Cups I knew it wasn't an obvious answer.

by kwinigolfer Wed 09 Nov 2011, 4:10 pm

P-UJ,
If goldwolf was on-line, he'd've given you the answer before you clicked "send". One of his favourite players and a big reason for occasional lack of success in his fantasy choices!

by McLaren Wed 09 Nov 2011, 4:15 pm

Ok, new question;

Where is Goldwolf?

by NedB-H Wed 09 Nov 2011, 4:50 pm

P-UJ was one of my first guesses, along with McDowell, but didn't think he'd done the college time!

by kwinigolfer Wed 09 Nov 2011, 5:13 pm

Mac,
I think gw has been going through upheaval at work, not to mention of course the very disappointing autumn so far for his beloved Wolves. Am sure we'll see him soon.

by pedro Wed 09 Nov 2011, 5:36 pm

Ok, a new one. Who am I?
- I share name with an animal
- My real name is not Eldrick

How about this one:

-I played for the my national youth teams, even though I was an 18-handicapper at 16.

- I've had a Number 1 hit in the US, and a Number 2 hit in the UK, with two different namesakes.
