God I hate golf @Mi-Amigo 😂

Good morning @Mi-Amigo

Names .. no one at teatime will know those names 😂 first names would be a struggle!

Looks like some guesses and hardly any known, this time. My neighbour is a golfer quite good, apparently 🤔

What is it with all these Birdie names for golf? 🐦 🐦‍🦜 🦚 🪶 🦢 😅

Teatime will be very thoughtful

Thank you @TallTrees and @Cleoriff for your comments.

With @Cleoriff hating golf and @TallTrees neighbour being a golfer but the tea-time team not knowing the celebs first names, the results might be quite interesting - especially if guesses [rather than passes] pay off

Good luck

With regards to why golf terms are based on birds, the US Golf Association website offers this explanation

The term 'birdie' originated in the United States in 1899. H.B. Martin's "Fifty Years of American Golf" contains an account of a foursomes match played at the Atlantic City (N.J.) CC. One of the players, Ab Smith relates: "my ball... came to rest within six inches of the cup. I said 'That was a bird of a shot... I suggest that when one of us plays a hole in one under par he receives double compensation.' The other two agreed and we began right away, just as soon as the next one came, to call it a 'birdie.' In 19th-century American slang, 'bird' refereed to anyone or anything excellent or wonderful.

By analogy with 'birdie,' the term 'eagle' soon thereafter became common to refer to a score one better than a 'bird.' Also by analogy, the term 'albatross' became common to refer to a double eagle.

That is very kind of you @Mi-Amigo to give me the understanding of the birdie in golf very much appreciated. I wonder will my neighbour know that? Bet he doesn't 😂

I'll ask him he plays golf every Saturday morning.

Absolutely brilliant!

Of course I'll need to memorise the information 🙄 could be a bit difficult but I can fluff through 🤣

A good set of results from a small group today - well done all, and thanks @Mi-Amigo

PS. The acid is "lactic acid", not lactose (which is a sugar commonly found in milk) in Q2 - they sound similar but are quite different.
