Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by. It’s British Open Week – and we have some golf balls to give away. We’ve setup a small trivia contest centered around the cryptic and enigmatic logo’s that TaylorMade creates for the Open and other championships. Within each logo are various clues that represent little known facts and figures about the course and it’s history. First up we’ll share with you a collection of the logos used over the years. Next, we’ll ask you 5 questions about the hidden meanings behind certain parts of these logos. First one to comment with all the correct answers wins a box of Pro-V1’s (or X’s if you want them).
The Logos
The Trivia Questions
In the 2011 Open logo – what does the “V” and the number “6” represent?
In the 2009 Open logo – what do the initials RB represent?
In the 2008 Open logo – what does the nine gems in the crown represent?
In the 2005 Open logo – what does the number “22” represent?
In the 2003 Open logo – what does the numbers “8624” represent?
First correct answer wins. Start guessing (or researching, if that’s what you do)!
2011: The letter “V” and number “6” salute the only six-time winner of the Open.
2009: the initials “RB” on the crown stand for Robert the Bruce.
2008: The nine gems in the crown equal the number of times Royal Birkdale has hosted the Open Championship
2005: The numbers “22” and “18” reference that the Old Course was originally 22 holes, then shortened to 18.
2003: “8624” corresponds to the letters TMaG — TaylorMade-adidas Golf – on a telephone key pad.
