The Trivia thread is always fun.

Make the questions challenging, and something that can't be searched on Google or Yahoo with ease.

Answer the question, and ask one yourself. (Be 100%, If not, wait for the one person to confirm or deny)

I'll start it off --

What was the name of the golfer who hit the first hole-in-one?
