Another easy one for Wednesday. The red herring was blindingly obvious to avoid.

Nearly went for that red herring because it was relevant to interests, but luckily PURPLE was also obvvy.

Too many potential golf words so I left it for last.

What was the red herring?

4406

THE HIVES, THE WHITE STRIPES, THE VINES, and THE STROKES are all bands.

No wordplay today. Purple seemed too easy to be purple.

4409

Pretty much anything can be a band. Even if you know some of them, there are likely to be others you don’t know. Makes it a poor category, herring or real.

It’s Friday (yay) and like yesterday Purple was leftovers. I’d love them to have terms from a non-American sport and see everyone struggle with those.
