Trivia: “Who was the first player to win both the U.S. Open and the U.S. Amateur? A) Chick Evans B) Tiger Woods C) Jack Nicklaus D) Francis Ouimet” Answer below.
I managed to get a fair bit of work done over the weekend, and also some relaxing and recharging of the batteries, as they say. The weekend included some shopping with a friend (she did the shopping, I did the carrying), my eldest son’s weekly hockey game, some monopoly and scrabble, a cleaner car, etc.
Roughly two weeks from now the Golf Historical Society of Canada is hosting a special event, which I hope to attend. Here’s a quote from Ontario Golf Magazine’s most recent email newsletter, specifically the March 13, 2009 issue.
“The Golf Historical Society of Canada is having a show and sale March 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame and Museum at 1333 Dorval Drive in Oakville. Bring your old golf stuff for appraisal (who knows, you may have a rare collectible sitting in storage) and participate in a golf collectibles auction.”

You can learn more via the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame section of the RCGA website, where it actually states that the auction begins at 2:00pm and the entire event runs until 4:00pm. Enjoy!
And the answer: “D) Francis Ouimet. He won the U.S. Open in 1913 and the U.S. Amateur the following year.”
