Point taken. Good answer. I really had no idea what the answr was but I had confidence in your abilities O' Googler of Googlers.
The nickname was given to him by his father (Hank Sr.). He thought that his son looked like comedian Rod Brasfield's (of the Grand Ole Opry) ventriloquist's dummy.
It was supposed to be obscure stuff. No, I'm more like a dog with a stick. You throw it and I go after it and bring it back. That's me and my buddy Google:

Golf courses have not always had eighteen holes. The St Andrews Links occupy a narrow strip of land along the sea. As early as the 15th century, golfers at St Andrews, in Fife, established a customary route through the undulating terrain, playing to holes whose locations were dictated by topography. The course that emerged featured eleven holes, laid out end to end from the clubhouse to the far end of the property. One played the holes out, turned around, and played the holes in, for a total of 22 holes. In 1764, several of the holes were deemed too short, and were therefore combined. The number was thereby reduced from 11 to nine, so that a complete round of the links comprised 18 holes.
No one will answer my question about why people's mouths gape open when surprised. And why the eyes get wide. Is it a learned reaction or is it instinct? I'm thinking instinct, but why? Animals usually have a purpose for their actions when surprised. But you don't see a deer's mouth drop open before the car hits it, so why do some people do this?
This animal has a unique muscle, when about it use it, it puts it's rear into the air, shakes it, with it's head laid low. Name the Animal and the muscle.
I'll take a guess here, it is instinct. Your body opens it's mouth to allow oxygen in for an impending attack while your eyes open wider to access the situation. It's to scare you really, into thinking your in danger for a brief second.
According to what I found,members of St. Andrews were discussing this in 1858 and according to one senior member it took 18 shots to finish off a bottle of scotch and by limiting himself to one shot a hole when he finished the scotch the round was done.
