    The thread topic is unfortunate names, not unfortunate blokes. Keep it on topic please.

    We have a member named Lindsay (L) McPherson. I call him the most disappointing golf partner of all time. Looks nothing like Elle at all!

    I bet it's straight though.

    Golf is, in part, a game; but only in part. It is also in part a religion, a fever, a vice, a mirage, a frenzy, a fear, an abscess, a joy, a thrill, a pest, a disease, an uplift, a brooding, a melancholy, a dream of yesterday and a hope for tomorrow. - New York Tribune, 1916.

    I recall an article from the Border Watch (Mt Gambier's local paper) a few years back that had the club champs finalist as Jason Shank.

    He lost.
