PGA Fun Fact: Oak Hill usually operates without tee times. Once three members of a foursome are on property, their group is placed in a queue. Groups are then alternated between the East and West courses. So members don’t know which golf course they are playing until they arrive

Fun fact: Until 1992 the Cheape family of St Andrews owned the rights to use six tee times on the Old Course each and every day - including on days the Open championship was being played. The R&A was finally able to buy back the rights to the tee times for £245,000.

Dream round of a lifetime this afternoon. Aces on the 6th AND 14th holes! Then the director of golf ruins the day by barely acknowledging my achievement. Acts like he either doesn’t believe me or he’s seen it all before. Obviously I won’t be back. Do better Pirates Cove Mini Golf

Babe Zaharias won the US Open by 12 strokes in 1954 while wearing an ostomy bag, because she’d recently had her intestines removed. She died from cancer the following year.
So no, Bryson’s exhibition today wasn’t the greatest performance in golf history.

Masters not so Fun Fact: In 1978 Hubert Green missed a 3ft putt that would have gotten him into a playoff with Gary Player. After the green jacket ceremony, Green went back out to the 18th green and missed the same putt 5 more times in a row before walking back in the clubhouse.
