In 1973, Arthur Thompson shot a round of 103 at the Uplands Golf Course in British Columbia. Not bad for a man who was 103 years old!

At the 1987 Kemper Open, Greg Norman lost his temper and tried to throw his ball into a water hazard. It became obvious his golf swing was better than his pitching arm after he hit playing partner Fred Couples in the chest! Anyone else ever do anything close to that on a golf course hahaha

In 1954, architect Robert Trent Jones received numerous gripes about the par-3 4th hole he had designed for the upcoming U.S. Open at Baltusrol. Jones decided to play it himself and recorded a hole-in-one!!!!

I am going to break the trend for today only because I find the quote so funny. "The wind was so strong, there were whitecaps in the Porta-John" -Joyce Kasmierski, at the 1983 Women's Kemper Open....

Grantland Rice suggestd that the first Masters, in 1934, be held in late March so baseball writers returning north from spring could cover the tournament...
