3 is not Jerry Lewis

[Reg Smeeton]

Cheers

It gives people someone do to...........

Just 3, 6 & 15 to go for a full house

Haven't seen anyone get 4.  Which has been bugging me....can't think of too many Kiwi golfers, years ago there was Bob Charles, who won the Open....left hander, he went on a long time but 2000 must be too late for him.  Then Frank Nobillo, who was decentish in the 90's but may have gone by 2000, likewise Greg Turner, who was the bro of Glenn Turner, ex Kiwi and Worcs cricketer, Greg though bit of a journeyman. Which leaves Michael Campbell, Maori fella, who won the US Open in the Noughties, then fell off thr radar like Baker-Finch and Duval. Got to be one of them.

I'm pretty sure 15 is a Spike Lee Joint.

I don't think 3 is Jim Carrey.  I've seen the film and can't remember him being in it?

Campbell then....golf is a bit unique in the way some players can be really successful for a brief period then completely lose it....whereas others like Bob Charles, go on for years and years.

When Europe started winning the Ryder Cup, Paul Way was a key man, then he disappeared up his own arse.
