where and by whom?
Answer 2 is (b) the European Open is a regular Euro Tour event.
Answer 3 is (b) Road Hole = 17th at St. Andrews (Tommy Nakajima knows
the answer to that question!)

| 1083.7 | the prize... | FORTY2::BOONHAM | Chris | Wed Sep 26 1990 10:05 | 6 |
| When I posted the note I also thought the answers to 2 and 3 were b, but was
going for 1 a until I read note 499.5.
The prize is a golfing w/e in Scotland in April. The entry needs to be on a
Teachers Whisky beer mat. I picked up the beer mat at the Packhorse PH, Reading
in the UK. Closing date is end of October.

| 1083.9 | More like 340 | 36577::MURPHY | | Tue Oct 02 1990 14:48 | 4 |
| Is the 1st hole at Furnace Brook 393 yards? Seems the hole is much
shorter to me.

| 1083.10 | 390 that feels like 340 | WJOUSM::MARCHETTI | In Search of the Lost Board | Wed Oct 03 1990 16:55 | 23 |
| re .9
It is about 390 yds, although it plays a lot shorter due to the
steepness of the fairway (there's an old ski lift that runs parallel to
it). Also, there is a big dip in the fairway that adds yardage, since
I believe that yardage is measured along the ground.

BTW, a friend who grew up caddying at Furnace Brook, says that legend
has it that some kids put Robie's ball in the cup before she got to the
green (which you can't see from the tee).
