Team Ohio

A. Jack Nicklaus
B. Denny Shute
C. Tom Weiskopf
D. Dean Martin

Think it would be a pretty good team.
chris

I was waiting for the lucky Ohioan who could bring Nicklaus and Martin together.
I have the article with Dean's 'typical day' in 1961, when he had long stays at the Sands. My goodness, even the sanitized/public version of his daily routine would make anyone green with envy!

Jersey Strong and fun


A   Al Besselink                  Great short game, gambler and lady killer
B   John Montefusco           "the Count"  erratic but really athletic
C   Bud Abbott                    the ultimate straight man  rarely missed a fairway
D   Frank Sinatra                 any questions ?

Nice. In Illinois if Murray hadn't won at Pebble I would have chosen Jack Benny for the comedic element.

How does any of you compete at golf? You can't follow the simplest of rules. One pro.


NY
Hagen, Turnessa, Turnessa, Turnessa

[Eric Smith]

I'll see Bogey's team and raise with:


A. Kip Henley (my junior golf teacher from way back when and former BIG BREAK II Winner)


B. David Ingram (Philanthropist and ANGC Member, so we're well capitalized for the Calcutta)


C. Megan Fox (She's going to smoke it off of the red tees; born just up the road in Oak Ridge)


D. Me (I'm not missing this!)

[C. Sturges]

John,
I think Al and Tom would get along well, they can talk guns.


My bad, thought it was just a Calcutta team.


New Team Ohio


A. Jack Nicklaus
B. Dean Martin
C. LeBron James
D. Rob Dyrdek- professional skateboarder and host of Ridiculousness


Figure the others are known...

You need a classroom buddy.

[John Kavanaugh]

Texas has put together an all woman team that any syndicate would love to own.


A. Babe Zaharias
B. Sandra Day O'Conner
C. Ann Richards
D. Selena

[Doug Bolls]

Here's my team from Texas:

(A) Hogan - The only reason to play is to win.


(B) LBJ - The votes needed to pass the Civil Rights Act were secured on the golf course.


(C) Willie Nelson - Par is whatever you want it to be.


(D) Molly Ivans - 6 Ft. tall, flaming red hair - Minneapolis police named their pig after her.


(DD) Jayne Mansfield - A "real / spectacular" distraction 

[Matthew Rose]

I came up with this for Wisconsin:

A. Steve Stricker
B. Aaron Rodgers
C. Bob Uecker
D. Danica Patrick

You spelled Turnesa wrong. Additionally, please provide first names...Willie was the only Turnesa brother that wasn’t a professional.

Of all people, I thought you’d check your work. 

[J_ Crisham]

From that part south of I-80.

Ok, I will swap in Bob Goalby for A and Doug Collins for C.


Ira

The problem with Doug Collins is that in a Calcutta you don't refuse second place money. Goalby is the best golfer ever from Illinois.

Goalby the best player ever from Illinois ? Not so fast- ever hear of a Chick Evans? His career as an amateur was second only to Bobby Jones. So my team would be:
   
 A Player Jay Haas
 B Player Chick Evans
 C Player Bill Murray
 D Player MJ

[John Kavanaugh]

Besides being a one time par club member Chick never rang my bell.

[John Kavanaugh]

I had also mentioned Michael Jordan earlier. With his vanity handicap and penchant for bidding up his own team he is a very weak B player at best.

Well I must thank you then for supplementing my college education!

[Bill Shamleffer]

Missouri:
1. Judy Rankin  (Tough choice between Payne Stewart, Horton Smith & Judy Rankin.  I think Watson might actually be from Kansas.  Hale Irwin is from Colorado and only lived in Mo after turning pro.)
2. Yogi Berra
3. Bill Bradley
4. Cedric the Entertainer  (gotta have some fun out there)

[Tim Martin]

Gamer on the court does not necessarily translate to gamer on the course. I’ve heard there isn’t a gambler in or around ChiTown that hasn’t found their way into the GOAT’s pocket.

[Steve Burrows]

Indiana

A) Fuzzy Zoeller
B) Pete Dye - Not born here, but I'd call him a naturalized Hoosier
C) Oscar Robertson - I’d want him on my team, whatever the competition
D) John Dillinger - To increase the intimidation factor.

Despite my distaste for golf writing and photography I would have put Ernie Pyle on my Indiana team.

I don’t think you can overlook Bobby Knight who has the ability to scare people into winning and can deal with the press after the event is over.

[John Kavanaugh]

Bobby Knight isn't bad but he ain't nothing as intimidating as William Tecumseh Sherman. Only problem is that if you draft him he will not play.

[jeffwarne]

Georgia


1.Captain- Larry Nelson-who would show the blind PGA of America that a Viet Nam veteran with three majors, a Top record as a RC participant, and an overall class guy could easily dispatch 49 other teams far more easily than our recent crop of inept softy Captains and players, who haven't been able to dispatch one opponent off home soil.


2. Bobby Jones-plays with hickories but provides the corn whiskey


3.Laura (Mays) Coble-High School classmate and GA Hall of famer


4.Jeff Knox-Fellow Jr. golf fellow competitor in Augusta area  and Masters marker who regularly holds his own with the pros at 57

[Mike Hendren]

Barney, I lost sleep last night thinking about your pick of Davy Crockett.  He would have owned the Ohio squad as he kilt him a bear when he was only three.

Also, how could I have missed Isaac Hayes - that bad Mother can really let out the shaft.

As an act of mercy I passed on Coach Pat Summitt.  Simply too much intimidation - game over.


Bogey

[Brad Tufts]

Mass:


A-Pat Bradley seems to be the clear favorite, a HOF-er with 6 major wins.  Plenty of other candidates...Paul Azinger was born in MA, but moved to FL before high school....Allen Doyle (born in RI, raised in Norwood, MA), Peter Uihlein, Meg Mallon.  Bob Toski or Jane Frost in the teacher category.  Donald Ross spent the better part of 15 years in Mass. so he's maybe our best ex-pat.


B-Francis Ouimet, the second best B player available after Bobby Jones
C-JFK, maybe a 6-7 cap, better after a couple handfuls of Advil and some swing oil
D-John Updike... a pesky 15, walking and carrying his own bag of course

[Peter Pallotta]

WT Sherman. Love him just for saying, re: Grant: "He stuck with me when I was crazy, and I stuck with him when he was drunk". He'd handle the pressure just fine; but still, Jeff's Georgia team would be hard to beat.
