Everybody seems to be a golfer or at least knows someone who is. The game is one of the world’s most popular sports, and now Doug Lennox, the links pro of Q&A, hits the green with a barrage of golfing trivia on everything from albatrosses and barkies to Vardon grips and zingers. All the titans, male and female, take a swing, including Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Kathy Whitworth, Vijay Singh, Annika Sorenstam, Michelle Wie, and, of course, Tiger Woods.

  • What is the oldest playing golf course in the world?

  • How does the term sandbagger connect golf with criminals?
  • What member of British royalty introduced golf to Continental Europe?
  • Who was the first female golfer to compete in a major men’s professional match?
  • What type of golf club did astronaut Alan Shepard use on the moon?
