A swing and a miss... I really feel this GIF will sum up my performance in this edition of the WRQ. It was pretty hard so I've guessed a few of them but will likely end up falling in the water rather than getting a hole in one!

[MI5]

Well done all and thanks @Mi-Amigo 

[gmarkj]

Not shocked by that score for me.

Only know St Andrews in Scotland so was pinning some small hopes on that.

As for the Beatles and Shakespeare - again, very limited knowledge of those.

Well done everyone!

[Cleoriff]

Well done one and all. Like @gmarkj, I only know St. Andrews in Scotland. Because it's GOLF!! Meh 😂

Thanks for a great game @Mi-Amigo. I'm out this morning so will take a look at your other WRQ when I get back. 👍

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @MI5 @gmarkj @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards - as there were a couple of tricky questions [like the golf one].

Hope each of you, and everyone else, likes some of the questions in today`s WRQ which is now up on a separate thread.
