Philip:

Have you prepared yourself to get lynched by your toes? I think maybe you should go underground for a couple of weeks.

This has turned into a fun and funny question and I don't believe anyone's gonna get it right.

On the other hand, these guys are getting so into this it wouldn't surprise me if one of them tried to call up Ben and ask him.

Hey, Tom.  At least none of us called Phil and asked him for the answer!  Wimpy move.

Obviously Bill Coore called Gulf Stream GC and said he was talking to you and that you suggested he goes to see the club that was your old stomping grounds.  Could it be that the wife of the current President (Don Ball; his name sounds like yours) was caught night putting with you as a debutante and still cries out your name instead of his in the throes of ecstasy.  In retaliation, he makes sure that you and your friends are never again allowed on the grounds during his administration.  Or something like that.  It may be complete fiction, but why let facts get in the way of a good story  ;)

For no good reason I would guess that it is a modern course and I believe that when they play the senior event out on LI they fly down to NJ and play Galloway for a pro am which from the tips is pretty severe - is that it?

I join in Tom's laughter in being able to say no to all!

And Wayne, tom didn't ask me for the answer. He emailed me saying he had no idea and I couldn't help telling one person!

And he's right... you just might want to lynch me by the toes...

So Phil, tell us which mini-golf or video game was the toughest for Ben.

Shinnecock
I think that it cannot be Shinnecock because of the infamous story about Ben playing a casual round there, taking a Mulligan on the first tee, and then shooting what would have been a course record but for the Mulligan.  Right?

Have I missed something?  Why has no one guessed Winged Foot?  I'll put my money on Winged Foot, and just to be clear, Regis, I suppose I have to guess East or West, and I'll take East just for the heck of it.

Wayno:

I didn't call him and ask him for the answer. He just gave it to me maybe because I got the first question right. And for getting the first part right he still said I'm not getting a single page of the prize--so what're gonna do but sit here knowing the answer to the second question and watching all you idiots floundering around.  ;)

Actually Shinnecock is not right but in Ben's mind I bet at least the 10th hole is one of the most excruciating he's ever played.

I mean we all know Ben Crenshaw is some amazing player with touch on and around the green but do you all remember those short approach shots he tried to hit to the 10th when he was in serious contention in the US Open? The damn ball just  kept coming all the way back down the hill to him.  ;)

Thank God Ben has more patience than Daly and didn't just polo the moving ball back up the hill as Daly did in frustration that time at Pinehurst in the Open.

I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

If it is NGLA, I'll never hear the end of it from Mucci.  Actually, it can't be that...its too darn easy ;)

Why do I think there's a clue in the phrase, "hanging by the toes?"

I will go way way out on a small weak limb.

Lido Golf Club.

Would Mr. Crenshaw have claimed to have played this course in his mind, and concluded that it was the hardest he ever played.

Dan... nice reasoning, but it was a reference to Tom paul saying that I was going to be hung by the toes when I revealed the answer.

And still, no one is right!

Tell you what, I'll reveal the answer at 8pm tonight so that you can all have a pleasant weekend filled with thoughts of bliling me in oil...  ;D

I don't know what "bliling me in oil" means, but it sounds pretty kinky. Is that something only Tilly biographers get to do?
