Mr Carveth recently enquired as to how TGA Tour players receive their names. So we (the TGA Tour Management committee), thought it would be useful to publish a guide on TGA Tour Naming convention.
Step 1 - TGA Tour player is identified in having a unique feature (e.g. Papa Hicks looking like Taylor Hicks of American idol fame) or named as a result of some unique escapade on the golf course (see Roofer, Lemur or Gazebo for details), or something as simple as a discussion point on the way to the golf course about the state of the drivers windscreen (wonder if Crack has had his crack filled yet?).
Step 1.5 - The player themselves promotes a name , only to be rejected, and some twisted version of the same suggested (e.g. Carveth suggesting his name be "Pinseeker" or something equally lame).
Step 2 - One of the committee members raises the twisted version or other antics to other members of the committee (in this case, Alice discussing with Lemur and Dagenator), and then the name is confirmed.
Step 3 - The member is advised of their new name... in this case.. Mr Carveth... (kneeling).., thanks to thy dead aim at the hole with your balls, and your shaft swinging true, and the ball even nuzzling itself against the pole you were aiming at.. you are hereby named.... " Stiffy " . Go forth and play well young sir.
