The Great Consilium Golf Trivia Challenge, Part One

Constant Readers will recall that last week marked the first ever Consilium Cup, that soon-to-be famous sporting event that combined nine holes of golf, some special challenges (like teeing off in hockey gloves) and a fiendishly difficult Golf Trivia Quiz.
