Zsa Zsa’s court drama - This Day in History – Sept 27th

Back in 1989, Zsa Zsa Gabor stormed out of a courtroom in tears after she objected to the prosecutors claims that, “Gabor craves media attention.”  Ms. Gabor was at the trial due to her accusation of slapping Police Officer Paul Kramer during a traffic stop.  The Officer had pulled over Ms. Gabor due to expired tags on her Rolls Royce.  Ms. Gabor claimed that the Officer was harassing her.  Ms. Gabor stated, “She said that her treatment by the police was “like Nazi Germany.”

Zsa Zsa Gabor was convicted and sentenced to the following: 

• 72 hours in jail,
• 120 hours of community service
• $13,000 in fines and restitution

Jones becomes 1^st player to win golf’s  “Grand Slam”

Back in 1930, professional golfer, Bobby Jones won his 4^th major tournament and becomes the first person ever to win the prominent “Grand Slam,” of golf.   The Grand Slam consist of winning all of the 4 tournaments in the same year:

• U.S. Open
• British Open
• U.S. Amateur
• British Amateur

Mr. Jones 4^th tournament was won at Merion Cricket Club in Ardmore, PA.

According to history.com, “Jones retired from golf at the age of 29, shortly after winning the Grand Slam. Over the course of his career, he won four U.S. Opens, five U.S. Amateurs, three British Opens and one British Amateur. His total of 15 major tournaments wasn’t surpassed until Jack Nicklaus won his 16th major in 1980.

In 1934, Jones founded the Augusta National Golf Club, and that same year was among the founders of a new tournament called The Masters. As amateur play became less common, the Masters replaced the U.S. Amateur in the Grand Slam. Today, a Grand Slam consists of winning the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open and the PGA Championship.”
