As the crowds start to filter in.... a quick reminder of the rules you were all playing by.

The Rules

New format, almost certain to induce multiple shouts of “Farce”, but it’s simple to adjudicate/score so we’re running with it. Beneath we have 9 questions, each representative of a golf hole. A perfect answer will score a hole in one (-3), a near perfect answer an eagle (-2), a strong answer a birdie (-1), an average answer a par (0), a poor answer a bogey (+1) and a woeful answer a double-bogey (+2). The lenience for each hole can be found beneath the relevant question. Each question was answered by none other than Ian "Father" Gascoigne, and for the purpose of this quiz his answer is "correct", no matter how far from the truth it may be....

QUESTION 1

1.   Back in the day when Father Gascoigne was knee-high to a grasshopper they took exams called “O-levels”. In these exams the grading system ran from 1-6 (1=A, 2=B etc.)

What was the cumulative total of points that Ian received?

Hole in One / Eagle (1pts lenience) / Birdie (2-4pts lenience) / Par (5-8pts lenience) / Bogey (9-12pts lenience) / Double-Bogey (13pts+)


A tricky hole to start with, and one where a few seemed to attempt an ambitious drive of the green and drop shots early doors. Others nailed it however, and a couple of lucky Blondes from the list of answers below....

[smashedagain]

Yeah I thought he was a lot smarter than that. What a thicko

Mind you it looks like Jonathon thought he got 9 grade A's.... The o level was a lot harder in my and Ian's day not like all the kids getting 9 A* these days..... 9 A's would have got Ian on Newsround

[cambridgealex]

i made a good read than Ian didn't excel in school.
