The Golf Quiz Book

If you saw that Mickelson 6 iron off the pine straw at the 13th in 2010, or Tigers chip at the 16th in 2005, or Rorys wondrous 7 iron at the 15th in 2025, all at Augusta, you will know that this game can make you hide behind the sofa one minute and dance screaming around the room the next.

But how much do you really know about it? You can find out by having a go at the 1,000 questions in 100 categories that make up this golf quiz book.

Here are three questions to be going on with, all in their way narrowing the gap between the golfing gods to whom we stay glued for hours on TV and the rest of us hacking away somewhere in the undergrowth.

Try these for size:

1. He may have been the winner of the 1986 PGA Championship, but it didnt stop him creating an unwanted record when he carded the full dozen at the dreaded 17th at Sawgrass in 2005. Who was he?

2. John Dalys gear was both brilliant and terrible, but his golf was often one or the other. At the sixth in the 1998 Invitational at Bay Hill, he ran up a large number that most of us would have fancied we could have just got inside of. What was that number?

A – 12 B – 14 C – 16 D – 18

3. What links the following golfers? Mark Calcavecchia, Bernhard Langer, Patrick Reed, Steve Stricker, Nick Watney and Lee Westwood.
