Which golfer was banned for life from one of the Greater Greensboro Open courses?

The Wyndham Championship in North Carolina is one of the oldest stops on the PGA Tour and is the last stop before the FedEx Cup playoffs begin. Originally known as the Greater Greensboro Open, for its first 30 years the tournament alternated play between Starmount Forest Country Club and Sedgield Country Club, where it returns this year for the first time in 31 years. Sam Snead won the first Open in 1938 and holds the record at this event with 8 wins. But, it was also Snead who was banned for life from Starmount following his 7^th win at the 1960 tournament there. The course wasn’t in the best shape that year, and Snead made a joke that the owner of the course should fix up the course by digging up some of the tomato cans that Snead was rumored to have his money buried in. But, the owner of Starmount, Edward Benjamin, didn’t think Snead’s joke was that funny and banned Snead for life from playing at the course.

So, if you answered A – then you were right and you now have one more entry into our computer for our daily drawings and four our Big Prize Thursday drawing today, we’re giving away a Callaway LR550 Laser Rangefinder. Okay, computer, show me today’s winner:

And our winner is Ed Aultman of Denham Springs, Louisiana and Ed is our second two-time winner in just two days now.

Sports ocassionally made the covers, but only one golfer ever made it onto

Hogan was featured on the cover on the August 8^th, 1955 issue, just after he had retired from professional golf following the U.S. Open that year and the magazine was where he finally revealed “the Secret” of his grip that he had developed but kept to himself during his career.

What golfer finished the first round in 47^th place before going to to become champion at the PGA Championship? – B. John Mahaffey

Well, just like Jerry Barber who we talked about last week, John Mahaffey had his only win at the majors at the 1978 PGA Championship and, based on his performance in the first round, you wouldn’t have thought that he would be accepting the trophy a few days later. Mahaffey shot a 75 in the first round which put him in 47th place, eight strokes behind leader Tom Watson and he barely made the cut at the end of the next day. Going into the final round, Watson was still seven strokes ahead but when he bogeyed several holes and shot a double-bogey on the 10^th, MaHaffey’s 8-under-par 68 resulted in a tie with Watson and Jerry Pate and forced the very first three-player playoff in the history of the tournament. Then, in just the 2^nd hole of the playoff, Mahaffey made a 12-foot birdie putt to win his only major championship.

So, if you answered B, then you were right which means that you have one more entry into our daily drawings and our prize today is a Callaway stand golf bag. Okay, computer, show me today’s winner:

And our winner today is Martin Baldwin of Dayton, Ohio. Congratulations, Martin, and now, in order to receive this Callaway bag, all you have to do is send an e-mail to me at Keri@golfnow.com within the next 30 days and we’ll get your prize out to you.
