Thanks, I still cannot see anything verifying him winning the World Boys. This says other wise http://www.juniorworldgolf.com/node/21?pg=1990 but maybe there is more than one 'World Boys' ?

He was one hell of a player,nice to see he is still in the game now.

 

[Old Skier]

Royal Aberdeen 1992 [ish]

It was all a bit vague in those days.....t'internet had not really kicked in.
Same for the world seniors championship.

It really does need tidying up now.
We need a proper world golf championship in all amateur and pro events.

Too many tanks on too many lawns.

[Doon frae Troon]

Can anyone name the Belgium golfer who was twice runner up in The Open

 

[Beezerk]

Flory Van Donck

This is too easy, we need a question which can trip up Google

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Interesting record for Van Donck, two second and two fifth places at four consecutive Opens.

Cant believe this do the people setting the questions realise theres such a thing called a search engine nowdays that people generally use to give you all the information you need :rofl:
Its like an 80's pub quiz

 

[Doon frae Troon]

We hope that people do the right thing and not use it.
Sadly it appears many do.

Poor reflection of the spirit of golf IMO.

That's the modern world for you where some folk know everything and sod all at the same time.

Bye folks.
