The Game of the Name 사설토토
Many have attempted however none have effectively labeled any of the TPC Sawgrass famous openings with epithets that have stuck. NBC and Dan Hicks attempted to foist "The Gauntlet" on watchers as the name for the end three openings, an idea that supposedly came from Beman himself.
Indeed, even a composing legend, for example, Jenkins missed the mark.
In that 1982 story, Jenkins selected the standard 3 seventeenth opening "Dream Island" after a famous yet goofball ABC show that featured Ricardo Montalban. That show's run finished in 1984 and Jenkins' epithet didn't make it even that far. He likewise named the eighteenth as "Beman's Lagoon" to pay tribute to the splendid made-for-TV second when Pate drove Beman and Dye into the lake, then, at that point, made a plunge after them "so I could suffocate them," Pate kidded later. Alright, he was presumably kidding.
Others have attempted. The Bermuda Triangle. Nah. The Swamp Monster. No, much appreciated. Crocodile Alley. Probably not. The Colosseum? Apologies, currently it's now taken by TPC Scottsdale for its standard 3 sixteenth, golf's most intense and most raucous opening. The Gauntlet is the main epithet that waits on the web, to a great extent naturally.
The scorecard: If the shoe doesn't fit, you can't absolve. Or something to that effect. Not all things need a moniker, Scooter. How about we simply appreciate one of golf's best completing stretches.
A Backstroke of Genius
Another thing about Pate's popular trick and ensuing jump. Did he truly toss the game's chief and the course planner in the lake and afterward do a hustling jump after them without genuinely researching what was under the water? Kind of. Pate's concept of a wellbeing check was asking Dye on Friday during the competition, previously accepting he planned to win, what was at the lower part of the lake by 18. "Since, supposing that I win, I will toss your butt in," Pate said. Color addressed that it was every one of the a sand base underneath four or five feet of water.
At the point when Sunday's completion came, Beman's significant other held his wallet and watch while Dye's better half, Alice, held Pete's wallet. "Pete doesn't wear a watch," Beman said then, at that point. "He never realizes what time it is."
Pate's 2004 rendition of occasions made them bring Beman and Dye over to the edge of the water to call attention to a plan issue that required fixing. Then, at that point, he pushed Deane in, got Dye and thrown him in.
Color said in 2004, "In any event, when I saw Jerry toss Deane in the lake, I felt that was its finish. Before I know it, I'm flying through the air like a jerk. It wasn't like going into someone's pool. There were stumps out there! Luckily, we didn't heap on top of anything. Jerry made a plunge, most likely the stupidest thing you could do. I can't recollect the number of names I called him. Whenever I was in the air, I thought, 'In no way like this has at any point occurred in golf.'"
Pate clarified his security conventions. As a previous cutthroat swimmer in his more youthful days, he wasn't stressed over lake profundities since he knew how to do a shallow hustling jump that would scarcely break the water's surface of the water. So that is the reason he did a dashing plunge rather than basically bouncing in. "It looked better, as well," Pate said.
