Listen, getting an 8/18 on this quiz definitely does not make me clueless; if anything, it makes me innovatively uninformed. Maybe I thought a turkey was something golfers eat at the clubhouse, or a birdie was a common pet for bowlers. Perhaps I was yearning to create a new sport like Bolfing, where you putt bowling balls down the fairway and try to spare sandtraps. Anyway, this was a fun quiz.
