    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!

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

    This happened few years ago.

    Someone has a sense of humour.

    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.

    The normal protocol for calling names to the tee is initial and surname.

    A woman at The Lakes had the unfortunate luck to be named Cathy Micock. They all agreed to just call her to the tee as "Cathy".
    Forum needs more banter.
