I BET YOU

Brought to you by Ray Huffines
Ever heard of hitting for golf’s version of the cycle-a 1,2,3 and a 4 on the same
hole? A foursome playing the Pine Barrens Course in Brooksville, Florida, did just
that in May of 2001. Playing the 330-yard, par four 15n hole, John Brooks shot a hole
in one using a driver off the tee. Ed Burney drove the green and putted in from 10
feet for an eagle. Boyd Brown holed an eight-foot putt for a birdie, and Tom Stecker
tapped in to save par.
Plenty of National Basketball Association fans know that Wilt Chamberlain
scored 100 points in a single game while playing for the Philadelphia 76ers during
the 1961-62 season. But perhaps even more amazing is that Wilt
averaged-averagedl-50.4 points per game for that entire season.
Sugar Ray Robinson, considered by many as pound for pound the best boxer in
history, fought 201 professional bouts and went the distance in all but one of them.
Who was the only boxer ever to stop Sugar Ray before the final bell? Light
heavyweight champ Joey Maxim, who on June 25, 1952, won a technical knockout
when Sugar Ray failed to answer the bell to start the 14m round.
