Andrew, also 9 for 11. That number six is a doozie. Perhaps I should have featured your purple and while patent shield tips? Are those your shoes of choice? Check out Andrew’s website if you have a chance and follow his quest for a PGA Tour card… http://web.mac.com/andrewscottjensen/andrewjensen/About.html

Well done, Michael. It appears everyone is having difficulty with #6. It is not Cristie Kerr but, like Kerr, this woman does have a major title to her credit…maybe this helps?

Is 6 Inbee Park?

Chris Garrett wrote on November 19 2008 at 01:16:46 PM

Not Inbee Park either. You’re close. You’ll find #6 in the player section of Footjoy.com. She wears FootJoy shoes and a FootJoy glove. First person to guess correctly may win a prize….ANSWERS COMING THIS AFTERNOON!

Chris Garrett wrote on November 19 2008 at 05:47:44 PM

Nope. Sorry! I’ll put the answers up around 3pm ET to give the west coast crowd one last shot.

You’ve got 10 right, just missing #6. Sorry Tim. You’ve still got time to get #6 if you want another guess.

Trying to get my perfect 11 for 11

thanks for the link love as well. the purple tipped are indeed my weekend show of choice

Chris Garrett wrote on November 19 2008 at 07:27:41 PM

no on #6, yes on #10. And no sweat on the website link. We love supporting fellow FootJoy fans. Good luck in your quest for the card!

I think we have all correct at this point except #6. One final hint before the answers are revealed at 3pm….she’s Korean…

BINGO! We have a winner. Congrats, Tim, on getting all 11 correct. Your persistence paid off. I will email you offline about your prize. Thanks to everyone who participated. We hope to do more of these types of interactive posts in the future.

what’s the prize?

Chris Garrett wrote on November 20 2008 at 01:26:57 PM

Tim is the proud owner of a limited edition USA SciFlex glove. We’ll be doing more of these features down the road, so be sure to come back regularly. And let us know if there’s something you want to see or someone you want to hear from. Our objective is to get you as close to the FJ brand as we can! Thanks again for visiting.

Ummm, actually Shawn, #6 is Jeong Jang. Good guess though.
