Brick Capital Trivia Quiz – Interesting Tidbits About the Brick

By Jon Hockaday, WFJA Sports

The 49^th Brick Capital Classic Golf Tournament is the only tournament in the area that has a rich and interesting history and WFJA Sports is giving our local golf enthusiasts an opportunity to test their knowledge of the event.   Starting in 1977, the event has grown by leaps and bounds – not only in the importance that local players place on the event, but in the quality of the event itself.   What many in the “older” days referred to as the “golf social event of the year” has turned into the best local display of talent and some very high-quality golf.  No one has played in all 48 previous events, but “unofficially” it is said that Walter Roberts played in the Brick 43 times.   Below is an opportunity to test your knowledge of the event and send your answers to WFJA Sports by this Friday.   Answers may be returned to: with your Brick Quiz answers.  Good Luck!!!
