Yeah, unfortunately I found that out after the fact. DOH! But it's all good. I'm sitting fairly high up in our league with missing a week.

Yessir, I did.

You got half of it correct, however, you did not post the winner. Ahem!

Well, kudos to you. I stumbled across that and was like, "Surely no one will know this without Googling it."

Lew Worsham beat Sam Snead in the 1947 US Open.

Shouldn't you quote that answer?

What was the first televised Tour event and who was the winner?

What "trophy" was given to the winner of The Open Championship before the famous Claret jug? and... Who was the first winner of the Claret Jug?

My team has been set. I'm a little irritated. My picks never got confirmed for week 2 so I missed out on a bunch of much needed points. Oh well. I'm still up there and going strong.

Played trumpet in middle school. Pretty decent at it I might add. Played bass/guitar in middle school/early high school and never had the time to practice to get really good. I'm looking into picking up an acoustic and teaching myself to play in my spare time back now that I'm back at college. That's why I found this thread.

At least they have their looks so they will make a good trophy someday.

A quick search will show tons of threads along the same lines as this one. Such as.... http://thesandtrap.com/forum/showthr...=longest+drive http://thesandtrap.com/forum/showthr...=longest+drive http://thesandtrap.com/forum/showthr...=longest+drive

Yeah. Absolutely pathetic. It is a blatant attempt to piss people off and took Kelly's "slip of the tongue" way too damn far. Here is an article about it.... Here is the cover....

FIJIGolf23 chuckles every time he sees Lost Ball post due to 3rd person referencing.

Agreed...

I lean towards the conservative side on most issues....

I wasn't trying to be a dick, it was just the way you worded your question that kinda seemed "standoffish."

This is a pretty easy answer. It gives you an unfair advantage at winning the league? You have 4 teams whereas everyone else only has one? You have better odds at earning points?

That's pathetic.

Who? And are you saying I have bad taste because I prefer to look at an attractive female over an overweight, middle aged man that is spitting out useless information from a cue card? If so, then I'm glad I have bad taste. Please tell me which sports announcers does not do this?

Well, trying not to get too off topic, they will have a little different offensive attack next year. Tebow and Cameron Newton will both be calling the shots from the QB spot with Tebow running much less. Which this is what they are saying, but I will believe it when I see it. Oh, and thanks for making us look complacent like OSU last year.

I actually like her. I think it's good to have a woman on the air. I don't particularly like listening to and watching men commentate over and over. She at least provides something easy on the eyes, which is more to say than the rest of the Golf Channel anchors. You talk about her as if she is the worst of the worst. I have yet to hear a commentator that was really worth a damn. All they do is read cue cards and recite boring, mundane facts for the schmucks in the audience.

Whether or not parents force on their kids that these athletes should be looked at as role models is completely aside the point. These men and women that call themselves professional athletes are on tv all the time. They don't have a choice that their lives are scrutinized and the media blows everything to ungodly proportions. Kids see these successful men and women and think, "wow, I want to be like that." It doesn't matter what parents do because kids have an imagination that places themselves in their shoes.

http://www.pgatour.com/2008/tourname....ap/index.html Did anyone else see this article? It seems this kid has made himself out to be the god of all that is golf. It's good to see some young guns coming up to challenge the top guys on the PGA Tour, but come on, show a little humility. He sounds like Phil Helmuth to me.

That's an awfully depressing way to look at it. Every kid watched professional sports growing up and said, "Man, I want to make the game winning touchdown." Or, "I want to sink that 10 footer on the 18th hole at Augusta to win the green jacket." I don't know if my future kids can be professional athletes or not, but I know one thing for damn sure, I'm going to encourage them to try. Telling your kids that they can't be something that they want to be is sad. That's just telling them to admit defeat, roll over, and be a nobody for the rest of their life. You may choose to do that with your children, but I sure as hell won't be taking the same approach.
