James Robb (golfer)
[edit]
Robb in 1906
- ... that golfers James Robb and Clifford Lingen each scored a horrendous 9 on the 6th hole in the 1906 Amateur Championship at Royal Liverpool Golf Club?

This article is new enough and long enough. It is neutral and I found no close paraphrasing issues. I think a QPQ needs to be done for this nomination. I would also like to suggest you incorporate the quote you give above into an alternative hook because, to the uninitiated into golf parlance, "halving the sixth with a score of 9" will seem an unremarkable occurrence.

- @♥Golf: As far as I'm aware, the nominator has one DYK credit so is exempt from a QPQ. Hook issue still needs to be addressed though. Fuebaey (talk) 03:43, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
- I have re-written the hook to make it more understandable and interesting to the non-golfers out there. I think everyone knows that a 9 on a golf hole is a really bad score! ♥Golf (talk · contribs) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ♥Golf (talk • contribs) 5:01 24 August 2015
- I did a review for Timothy R. Coffin awhile back. Hopefully that will qualify me under the QPQ guidelines. ♥Golf (talk · contribs). — Preceding unsigned comment added by ♥Golf (talk • contribs) 4:56 24 August 2015

The hook has been altered and is now satisfactory. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:39, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
