Hi

Have you any idea if this series is defunct now - I cannot find anything on a 2010 tourny?

Rob Panasik

Very good find about his being the youngest player to ever make a PGA Tour cut.

Both the PGA and LPGA have problematical recordkeeping. A few years ago, Se Ri Pak was reported ast the 3rd LPGA golfer to win the same event five times. The others were Annika Sorenstam and Mickey Wright. The LPGA record books missed that Kathy Whitworth also won the same event five times. How does a major sports organization make a stats screwup involving its leading winner all time?

How about something very similar to Panaskik and Fujikawa= The record number for fewest putts set by George Archer. In 1980 Archer took only 94 putts in the Sea Pines Heritage Classic. It was recorded as that in the next year's PGA Media Guide Book. In 1982 there were press articles clearly stating Archer took 94. For example-

http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ChMhAAAAIBAJ&sjid=QXUFAAAAIBAJ&pg=3363,5957608&dq=sea+pines+heritage+classic+94+putts+george+archer&hl=en

Sometime in the 1990's Archer's record became 95 instead of 94. When Archer died, the 95 total was reported in his obituaries.

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_378115.html

I tried to get the PGA Tour to fix their records but they were obstinate in refusal. They said Archer took 95 not 94.

The LPGA fixed their Whitworth mistake.

The World Golf Hall of Fame had Hale Irwin hitting his 72nd hole approach shot to 8 feet rather than 20. Till I got them to fix it. The reply I got is in the comments section of this post.

There's lots of mistakes in Wikipedia golf related articles. I correct them as I find them.- William 01:25, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia Naming Conventions / Republic of China N-POV

Dear Tewapack,

in your recent edit on the Yani Tseng article you violated one of Wikipedia's policies:

Per naming convention in regard to the Republic of China, a person's nationality shall be given as "Republic of China", not "Taiwan". Anything else is excessive POV. Please refrain from further edits in this manner. Freetaiwanblog (talk) 22:35, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Lee Trevino's golf quote 1975 US Open

The God can't even hit a one-iron quote, was not the quote Trevino made about lightning at the 1975 US Open. Instead its this--

http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=WEU_AAAAIBAJ&sjid=ElIMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1099,4199867&dq=lightning+medinah+lee+trevino&hl=en

Trevino is quoted as saying- Lightning will never strike me. God is on my side."

That is the quote attributed to Trevino for the 1975 US Open. You'll note, that article was written just after the 1975 Open when Trevino was playing at the Western Open where he was actually struck by lightning.

As for your reference source for the trevino quote, it doesn't say where and when the quote comes from.

I'm reverting your edit.- William 23:33, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Weather delays and problems at Major Championships

Aren't newsworthy either unless

1 Play is suspended and that causes the tournament to finish on Monday( 2005 PGA, 1983 and 1973 Masters, 1983 U.S. Open which doesn't even mention it in its article are examples of this)

2 Players or spectators are injured or killed. 1991 US Open or 1991 PGA. Oh and those articles don't make mention of those incidents either.

Weather delays are trivial and not notable otherwise. Why don't you edit into the 1975 US Open what history was actually made at the tournament. I'll go ahead and do that. Hint its called the 36 hole scoring record.- William 10:41, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Calvin Peete

He made a living as a peddler of goods to migrant workers, not as a migrant worker. The article you put in as a citation says so.- William 02:38, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

• I was citing the "broken arm" portion, which is what had the fact tag on it. I missed the error in his job. Tewapack (talk) 03:10, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

LPGA Tour outside of North America

I am editing the 1976 LPGA Tour article. The LPGA had played at least one unofficial event outside of North America prior to that year. In 1966 there was a tournament in Venezuela

Chi Chi Rodriguez Article

Hello Tewapack: I want to thank you on behalf of Mr. Juan "Chi Chi" Rodriguez for your extensive work on his Wikipedia Article. Mr. Rodriguez has relayed two requests for the article. One, that his Nationality be changed to USA (American) (I have taken the liberty to do this already, he is very adamant about his USA citizenship) and two, that his photo be changed. We have many photos to chose from. I have also sent a message to the author who uploaded the one that is currently in the article. If you need verification of this message please email Mr. Rodriguez at jchichirodriguez@yahoo.com Misterfrisky (talk) 12:22, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
