Bud was really shook up by the Samauri demonstration. Barbara McIntyre was 25 at the time and is still with us at age 88 as of this post (2/20/23). Per Wikipedia, she won the US Amateur in 1959, the British Amateur in 1960 and was on 5 winning Curtis Cup teams and the captain of another.
Winged Foot is indeed when set up for a major tournament a test even for the professionals. They have to struggle to break par. I caddied there one time but caddied in the summer between school years at Westchester Country club and even got into the Westchester Classic a few times. That was an easy course for the pros. That Sergeant was someone you did not want to mess with.
He does, but I take that as a sign of trying to determine who is the correct guest. I'm sure the guests are well prepared in advance for the obvious questions, so Tom goes for the non-obvious. That's my take only. I find Tom to be the smartest panelist, generally. (Even though Kitty usually thinks she is).
*Spoiler:* The real Martin DeFrancisco said that Judo is 3,000 years old. I don't know why he said this, because *nothing* in Japanese history is older than 2,000 years old--as opposed to Chinese history, which has written records going back much longer.
Second round affidavit @ 11:40: "...most of the excitement in my life lies in another field. I play golf." That's what she calls "excitement"? Watching paint dry is more exciting than golf. LOL
I wanted to know if DeFrancisco was still among us....all I found out is that someone is selling a press photo of him on Ebay. and i guessed the right contestant.

I paused it at 10:15 and believe the guy is bleeding, which you see just as he removes the little carrot piece. Crazy!
When the men in game #3 were standing and introduced themselves, I thought #2 had weird hair, but it was just a shadow on his head.
The Savannah was a nice looking ship, beautiful line and all.
How a black belt could say judo was 3000 years old is beyond me!!??
That Sergeant was CRAZY!!!!
Sometimes I highly question these contestants. Judo was developed in 1882 so not even a hundred years at the time of this taping.
I loved Pollys remarks about the spelling of samurai lol.
I'm sure they are all dead and gone by now but those men were handsome smanshsome in round one!
I wanted to see #2's other carrot! 😂😂😂
They might not be gone. My old dad is alive and well.
Man #2 in Game #1
Lady #2 in Game #2
Man #1 in Game #3
Thanks. Lol
I knew contestant #1 in the first game was an imposter - his pant legs were not even. No one in the service would allow this.
That was the first thing I noticed too.
I thought they were a bit rough lol.
Polly stole the show - not only with her beauty as usual but just so entertaining and funny.
lol, YA ok
For the samurai one, one spelled the word wrong and three stated the wrong origin of the word. Easy to figure out.
They wouldnt allow anyone to demonstrate the samurai sword like that these days! That sergeant must have a lot of trust!
Tom Poston asks the most obscure questions.

When did they start having the Whistler !!!!!!!!??????
I'd love to know where that cameraman who cut away right when the guy sliced through that carrot went to file for unemployment the very next day.
Oh that was shameful, I agree. (Great comment!)

Irony: Polly Bergen became a Judo Expert later in life and was to use it in a pilot called Selena Mead, which never aired.
What does Dom Ameche have on his head !!!!????
Nowadays the captain would be number 3!!!
The pronunciation of McIntyre sure was very american.
Tom Poston is old fashioned

He was on I've Got A Secret as well, since he was on the Japanese version of the same show.
Sadly, he is not with us anymore. He died very young from a heart attack although he was believed to be in heat health. He is related to me.
Meant great health
And yes I realize the spelling is different, not sure what happened along the years
Also, the man who assisted him with the carrot was his brother
That carrot thing was completely lunatic, unnecessary and dumb.
Instead of three imposters , why aren't there four imposters !!!!????
Is Buddy's wearing a yamaka !!!!????
Buddy's seems to be tired and immantuated !!!!
Bud asks for complete silence so of course Tom has to repeatedly run his mouth......
As does Polly.
Polly always has be to the last one to talk! (I really liked her in the 1st Season, but she has REALLY gotten on my nerves)!
Why does Buddy's doggin on Polly !!!!????
Why does Kitty doggin on Polly !!!!???? Kitty is not smarter than Polly !!!!
O goodie, another program brought to you by those stinky cigarettes. Ladies throw them away!!🎈🎈
What do you mean ladies throw them away? How 'bout MEN throw them away?
