You know, I typed "Sam Snead" and then looked at it for probably four solid minutes thinking, "Something about this looks wrong..." But I couldn't figure out what it was, and didn't want to bother re-opening Hans's blog to double check the names (especially because I was so pleased with myself for remembering "Cairo") so I just rolled with it.

That'll teach me to trust my first instinct when I've spent half a week being so tired my eyes hurt... >_>

And as somebody who actually is a (very mediocre) golfer myself, that just makes it even more infuriating. Of course I know who Sam Snead is! I know who Sam Snead is more than I know who Sam Spade is! Turns out, that was the problem. =P
