A Question of Sport, Heeps of balls etc - The Reveal

[Wichita Lineman]

All going well I'll get this moving at 9pm tomorrow night. 

[aaronjennings]

[jp liz v1]

It's a ballsy week

[Spears]

[lorcand1990]

Can't remember my answers at all, but that's probably for the best 

[Wichita Lineman]

Will try start at 9.30 - home late from work - but if I cant I may have to defer again. Will know in a few minutes.

[Wichita Lineman]

Mrs Wichi says I can do it. Will be back in a few minutes.

[Wichita Lineman]

A straight forward no nonsense Heeps, where you don’t lose hard-earned points, unless of course you give the most popular answer!
Question 1: GOLF - Name any brand of golf balls.
What will be the first Heep?  Well Vice, Hogan and Kirkland were all ignored.



Unfortunately for the 9 who picked it Titleist tees off with a massive Heep. Wilson & Callaway both score birdies and it’s a solid par for Bridgestone, TaylorMade, Srixon & Nike.
