Dear Playing Partners,

Hopefully you have not stored away your golf clubs because the weather is about as nice as we could hope for this time of year. Golfing in 65 degree weather doesn’t get much better than this. As November arrives and the fall season is under way, the courses are in good condition so take advantage of it while you can. The colorful trees create a beautiful setting for scenic views on many of the courses and we are getting close to bargain season. However, finding an errant tee shot in the woods can be an adventure in itself. Obviously, don’t use a yellow or orange ball or else you could be searching for your one ball for days! Many courses will be offering winter rates or better deals on rounds of golf during the month of November so get ready to play more for less. The weather is golfable all week long so we hope you will be out playing like we will. Hit’em straight!

THE LIST: Really Cool Golf Questions. The List is in a great mood to match the weather so he thought he would go the extra yard today and ask you some truly unusual golf questions

Kelly Murray Marches On Big Break VI – Go KELLY!
If you’ve been watching The Big Break VI on The Golf Channel, you’ve seen our writer Kelly Murray make it through all the eliminations so far. In this week’s show, Kelly plays a remarkable shot to win the contest among the men. This long driver hits a shocking club in an amazing shot to crush the competition. The first airing is Tuesday evening at 10 p.m. but there are a lot of re-airings of the show during the week. We’re starting to get excited as Kelly continues to shine and avoid elimination. If you’ve been following the series, there is a surprising elimination this week. Tune in.

#1. Tightwad misses glory. You know the story of Samuel Ryder providing a trophy for the Ryder Cup winning team but do you know who came up with the idea for the matches and was too cheap to buy a trophy for them?

ANSWERS TO THE LIST:

#5. Several possible answers to this one come to mind. Where they all first time winners? No. How about all non-Americans/ The answer is yes they were. Olazabal – the Masters, Els the US Open, Price - The British Open & PGA Championship.

#4. We think this golfer is one of the greatest and least appreciated. The best guess in our office was the fourth one when Billy Casper was named.

#3. The pro golfer who set this record is not one you would expect to do this. It was Tommy Armour who shot a 23 on one hole at the Shawnee Open. We don’t remember what hole it was.

#2. It is remarkable to think that a golfer with so many victories would not have won one of the majors but the U.S. Women’s Open eluded her.

#1. Railroad owner Walter Ross lost out on his chance for immortality when he got thrifty at the wrong moment.
