It’s Monday, September 1st and you might be our Labor Day winner - today on GolfNow’s trivia contest.
Hi, everyone, Keri Murphy here with you on this Labor Day holiday with another episode of GolfNow’s trivia contest. Our featured GolfNow course for today is the Painted Desert Golf Club in Las Vegas – another course in our network 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 the week, which is:
Who is the only golfer to win all 18 skins and the entire one million dollar purse at the LG Skins Game? Was it:
A. Fred Couples
B. Greg Norman
C. Payne Stewart
D. Tiger Woods
As always, just mark your answer on the entry form at GolfNow.com and tomorrow, we’ll tell you who won it all at the Skins game and, if your answer was correct, then there will be 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 question from last Friday’s show, which was:
Who is the only golfer to win a regular PGA Tour event without shooting a round in the 60’s?
Al Geiberger had 21 wins on the PGA and Champions Tour but he will most likely always be remembered as “Mr. 59”, which he’s been called ever since he became the first golfer to shoot that amazing score during the 1977 Danny Thomas Memphis Classic. It happened in the 2nd round of the tournament that year at the Colonial Country Club, where the course was over 7.200 yards at the time and It was over 100 degrees. Even with those conditions, Geiberger managed to finish the round with 11 birdies, six pars and one eagle and when it was all over, Geiberger’s final scores of 72, 59,72 and 70 also made him the first – and still the only – golfer to win a regular PGA tour event, outside of the majors, without shooting a round in the 60’s.
So, if you answered B – then you were right, which means that you now have one more entry into our computer for our daily drawings and our prize today is a TaylorMade travel cover. Okay, computer, show me today’s winner:
And our winner today is Larry Casale of Tampa, Florida and now, Larry, to claim your prize, just send an e-mail to me at keri@golfnow.com within the next 30 days.
Okay, that is it for our show on this Labor Day. I’m Keri Murphy, have a wonderful and safe holiday and I’ll see you again tomorrow here on GolfNow’s Trivia Contest.
