It’s Monday, November 17th – I’m Keri Murphy and you might win a personalized set of Golf Pride grips - today on GolfNow’s trivia contest.
Hi, everyone, welcome back to a new week here on GolfNow’s Trivia Contest. Our featured GolfNow network course for today is Eagles Nest Country Club at Pebble Creek in Phoenix – just one of more than 1,000 courses in over 20 states where you can save when you book online with us at www.golfnow.com – the #1 tee time website in the nation. Okay, let’s get right to our first trivia question for this week, which is:
Which female amateur golfer retired from the sport and then was known by her married name of Lady Heathcoat-Armory? Was it:
A. Joyce Wethered
B. Dorothy Campbell
C. Gladys Ravenscroft
D. Enid Wilson
As always, just mark your answer on the entry form at GolfNow.com and tomorrow, we’ll tell you who it was and, if your answer was correct, then you’ll have one more entry in our computer with your name on it for our daily drawings.
Okay, now, let’s find out the answer to our final World Golf Hall of Fame trivia question from last Friday’s show, which was:
Which year did Carole Semple Thompson hole a 27-foot putt to win the Curtis Cup for the American team?
Carole Semple Thompson has been called the first lady of women’s amateur golf and has played in more than 100 USGA championships. She is just one of 11 players to have won both the U.S. Women’s Amateur and the British Women’s Amateur, helped America win four Espirito Santo Trophys and was awarded the USGA’s Bob Jones Award in 2003. But, it is the Curtis Cup where Thompson holds the record for most appearances on the American team, having played on 12 teams beginning in 1974 and it was in her last appearance in 2002, at the Fox Chapel Golf Club near her home in Pennsylvania, where she ended her Curtis Cup career by holing a 27-foot putt from just off the 18th green to retain the cup for the United States and Thompson then went on to serve as Captain at the Curtis Cup in 2006 and 2008.
So, if you answered D – then you were right, which means that you now have one more entry into our computer for our daily drawings and, today we’re happy to welcome Golf Pride Grips - the most popular grip on the PGA Tour – as a new sponsor and our prize today is a set of personalized Golf Pride grips.
