3 will be familiar to those who have begun Mr Mucci's book club assignment. I'll be hoisting a few Earl Greys tomorrow to celebrate the saint's day.

#1 Evidence from the McTavish versus Scottish Golf Union case in which Angus McTavish (pictured center, cream suit) clearly twists his ankle on rough ground. Following McTavish's successful litigation, all future Scottish championships are played on actual golf courses, and not beaches at low tide, to ensure spectator safety.

#2 Late 1880's brochure for Alec McDuff — unheralded golf course consultant and owner of the largest recycled timber bulkheading stockpile in Europe.

#3 Evidence from McTavish versus St. George's Hill (settled out of court).

#4 Someone's romantic vision of golf and not actually a real course.

#5 Someone playing with rented clubs, obviously.

#6 See Rich's answer.

#7 A very dubious course indeed. Possibly even the Apple Tree Gang themselves.

#8 Bernardo's brief period as spokesman for Llanethly Astroturfing Services.

#9 Possibly an early version of Hell bunker, St. Andrews. I don't know. I was caught cheating when I tried to find out.

  #1.   Proof that slow play was a problem in Victorian times - an 18some playing through a 22some.

  #6.  After a full day of bombardment, Napoleon sends in the             golfers to attack the defences at Borodino.

Tommy,

Love the quiz :), agree with a few choices, but I'm having a great deal of trouble adding to the group.

4. The Crater at Portrush?

My first vote of the year for Post of the Year.  Good job!

There are some good guesses so far. JNC, Soup Bowl was much more descript. It looked like a mid-evil torture pit of hell.
