Do spouses of celebrities count in our contest? I have been refused family members.

I stole him, too.

We can’t try harder, we just wait. :slight_smile:

Clench your fists, furrow your brow, grimace and just wait harder.

FWIW, Louise Solheim was well known in the golf community, particularly the LPGA. I think she should have qualified.

But the query is reasonable.

Thanks.

I searched her name and she was known for much more than being the wife of the founder of Ping. Under the “Death Schroom” rules (should I be fortunate enough to lead this distinguished pool from the outset), she would qualify as a celebrity and a 1-point waste of a pick (unless you are going for the “Quantity Not Quality” award.

Liu Xiaobo succumbs. Chinese dissident was awarded Nobel Prize while serving 11-year prison sentence.

Points don’t matter on this one. :frowning:

Fresh Kid Ice (aka Chris Wong Won, from 2 Live Crew) dead at 53. Not even smithsb saw this one coming

Just shoot me. Actually I’m hoping for some sort of a shootout at a Rap festival/challenge.

If a handful of ISIS leaders happen to be caught in the cross-fire, I think you will find pockets of support from this dysfunctional Death Pool family.

As dead as he wants to be!

Chuck Blazer, has been banned from life…for life.

Philanthropist Peter Alfond died from malaria at 65.

Hootie Johnson, former Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club, dies at age 86.

Johnson fought to keep “hooters” from becoming members at ANGC, which was famousing protested by Martha Burk.

What are “hooters” in golfing parlance?

I think it was a play on the name “Hootie,” coupled with his not wanting women to be part of that club/tour

Mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani died on Saturday, age 40, of breast cancer.

The only woman, and the only Iranian, to win the Fields Medal, probably the most prestigious prize in mathematics.
