Guest Dead?really?
Felt sorry for poor old Byron Nelson, with only 10 posts.

 

So decided to look him up on Google images for all those people who haven't a clue what he looks like,

 

Byron then...............and Byron now, pictured with his much younger wife Peggy. :huh:

Any news on his health?

 

:lol: Died today (26th Sept) .............. was the Tiger Woods of his era.

Indeed he has, and it's both a DDP & DL hit because of this:

 

BBC article

 

Well done, DL!

 

 

Also, this gets rid of another boring candidate so we can look forward to a more exciting one in 2007.

By more exciting do you mean another sportsman in his ninties 50 years past retirement?

No, I mean someone who keeps us on the edge of our seats, a la Pinter or Melly and not Nelson, Bergman and de Laurentiis..zzzzzzz The last three are so boring I nearly fell asleep writing the sentence

Well done, that's what I was getting at.

Is it true they'll be putting Byron in a spherical coffin, and using a 50 foot putter to sink him in his grave? Maybe they've lined up the USA Ryder Cup Team to do it, if there's a week to spare...

Byron was so dull I'd almost forgotten he was on the list.

 

Oh well, fare ye well Byron.

 

You may not have been "Mad, bad and dangerous to know" but you sure could putt a little white ball into a hole.

 

Gone to the great 19th hole in the sky.

Anyone who dies is exciting enough for me.

Come on guys! It's a golfer we're talking about... If watching a white posh rich boy shoving a little ball in a hole does not constitute enough excitement for you, what does?!

Yes, yes, Iain, I'm sure it is. Keep taking the medication.

 

Also nice to see that not only were you hours late with the "annoucement" but you couldn't even spell his name right :P

By the way...

 

Byron Nelson was the 8th hit of deathlist 2006.

He is the 145th hit since 1987.

The 2006 list is now in 11th place shared with 1998 out of a possible 20 deathlists.

 

Just thought I'd share that.

Byron Nelson's tournament raised over $90M for charity during his lifetime. I hope it can soldier on now that he's gone, but I wonder what the lack of those hand-written invitations to play with do to participation.

Wonder how long the drive to the funeral service will be? My guess is 294 yards......

 

That's a fair way!

 

DWB :unsure:
