Quiz time - three of the four won all the major
titles in his sport in one season. Who is the odd
man out?

Odd man out is a jockey--rode a good number of famous horses in his day. About the same time frame as the golfers, probably closest to Arnold
Palmer in age, IIRC.

In some way, Arcaro was the odd man out, never having
won a major golf tournament, but he did win all the big
ones in horse racing. Palmer was the one who didn't win
all the major events in his field (despite his reputation).

There are a lot of Korean golfers in the LPGA now, most names hardly
known outside of the country. Michelle Wie, the teen age phenom that we
heard a lot about while we were in HI, is in her late 20s but has only
won one major, one minor tournament since turning pro at age 16. Paula

Some people peak early.

Creamer is a bit older than Michelle but did better some years ago, same
as Anika Sorenstam. Those names might be vaguely familiar. (G)

Paula Creamer, I think she's too young for me to have
heard of.

I read Nancy Toff ... who wrote the definitive history
of the flute (Oxford University Press). The only girl
golfer I can think of is Anneke Sorenstam, I think
that's the name.

Yes, see above.

Not to worry - if my eyesight and finances don't
improve substantially, there will be no reason to
go back there.

We've got other reasons to go to the area. (G)

And you get to see them for free!

Hah. It wouldn't be a miracle. It's one of those
human foibles that we want to be granted special
treatment by some deity or other superpower. We have
to remember that for every Brit praying "God save
the Queen" there was a German and half praying "Gott
strafe England." I can't see a just or merciful power
choosing the Brewers over the Cubs at any time, much
less with the natural order of things having been
enforcing itself for 8 1/2 innings.

Too early in the season to be trying to figure out who to buy playoff
tickets for.

But not too early to start saving up. Put a fiver a
week into the jar and you might have enough at the
end of the season for a game. Put in ten and you might
be able to get there.

Yep. Sometimes I put immediate contemporary
stuff in posts before the more comprehensive
"trip report" comes out, especially as I'm
using the latter as echo filler.
Which on rescanning I read as chicken fillet.

Yup... and yeah, I could see that possibility..... ;)

Did it again.

Missing too many meals or just wonky eyes? (G)

If it were hunger I'd have read chicken thighs.

Hi Michael,

Quiz time - three of the four won all the major
titles in his sport in one season. Who is the odd
man out?

Odd man out is a jockey--rode a good number of famous horses in his

day. > About the same time frame as the golfers, probably closest to Arnold

Palmer in age, IIRC.

In some way, Arcaro was the odd man out, never having
won a major golf tournament, but he did win all the big
ones in horse racing. Palmer was the one who didn't win
all the major events in his field (despite his reputation).

Palmer also played golf for Wake Forest College for a couple of years.
This was while the college was still in town here, before they moved to Winston-Salem and became a university.

There are a lot of Korean golfers in the LPGA now, most names hardly known outside of the country. Michelle Wie, the teen age phenom that

Some people peak early.

She peaked before shehit her teens. From what we saw of her "career"
before turning pro, it looked like it was a case of parental pushing.
She had some talent that they pushed, but not enough to sustain for an
extended time.

Creamer is a bit older than Michelle but did better some years ago,

same > as Anika Sorenstam. Those names might be vaguely familiar. (G)

Paula Creamer, I think she's too young for me to have
heard of.

She was never a super super star in the golf world but has done quite
well for herself, overall.

I read Nancy Toff ... who wrote the definitive history
of the flute (Oxford University Press). The only girl
golfer I can think of is Anneke Sorenstam, I think
that's the name.

Yes, see above.

I'd rather put the money toward our Alaska trip. An occaisional game,
now and then is fun but I'm not the fan I used to be.

We use more breasts, if buying pieces. If we get a whole chicken, then
all of it gets used.
