Friday, October 31st, 2008It’s Friday, October 31st and you might be the winner of today’s daily drawing on Golf Now’s Trivia Contest.
Happy Halloween, everyone, Keri Murphy back with our final trivia question of the week here on GolfNow.com and our featured course for today is the Bridgewater Golf Club in Lakeland, Florida – another course in our GolfNow network where you can find great tee time deals when you book online with us here at www.GolfNow.com.
Okay, so the Champions Tour is for golfers who are 50 or older, but there have been players still competing on the regular tour at that age and so, with that in mind, our question for today is:
What age was the oldest first-time winner on the regular PGA Tour? Was it:
A. 51
B. 63
C. 76
D. 80
Just mark your answer on the entry form at GolfNow.com and on Monday’s show, we’ll tell you how old that first-time winner was and we’ll see if your answer was correct. Now, let’s find out the answer to our question from yesterday’s show, which was:
Which golfer slept outside on the beach before his first British Open because he couldn’t afford a hotel room?
The Black Knight, Gary Player, celebrates his 73rd birthday tomorrow and is certainly a legend in the history of golf. It is estimated that he has flown over 15 million miles during his career in order to play in tournaments all over the world, and the very first trip he made was in 1955 so he could play in his very first British Open at St. Andrews. But, once he got there, he realized that he couldn’t afford a hotel room for the entire trip, so he spent the first night outside in the dunes on the beach and then, the next day, he found a reasonably-priced room to stay in. Fifty years later, in 2005, he was in St. Andrews again for the British Open and went back to the same spot and said a prayer of thanks for his amazing career that started there.
So, if you answered D - then you were right and you’ve added one more entry into our computer for our daily drawings where you can win great golf prizes and today we’re giving away a copy of the beautiful book, Fairways of the World, along with the book’s 2009 companion calendar.. Okay, computer, show me today’s winner:
And our winner today is Sean Grech of Vallejo, California. Congratulations, Sean, and now, to claim this prize, all you have to do now is send me an e-mail to me at Keri@golfnow.com within the next 30 days.
