Craig Stadler has something to "wine" about this morning (other than my headlines, that is): He aced the famous "Postage Stamp" in the Senior British Open today. The 123-yard No. 8 hole with the tiny green is at Royal Troon, and for scoring the hole-in-one Stadler received 123 bottles of wine (one for each yard).
Good thing John Daly has never won this prize. He'd finish 'em off before the round was over.
The most famous ace at the Postage Stamp occurred in 1973. What makes it famous? It was recorded by 71-year-old Gene Sarazen, making his final Open Championship appearance.
Sarazen received 123 tablets of Geritol.
