	Golf Grand Slam
		A player can be considered to hold the grand slam if they either hold the title for all four of the major championships (the Masters, US Open, British Open and PGA Championships) simultaneously, or more strictly they have won all four major championships of a single calendar year.
		A close achievement was in 1930 by Bobby Jones, winning the four major golfing events held at that time: the U.S. and British Opens, and the U.S. and British Amateurs.
		The closest has been Tiger Woods, who held all four of the modern major championships simultaneously - the 2000 U.S. and British Opens, the 2000 PGA Championship, and the 2001 Masters.

		Jones liked to describe a dangerous shot that only a golfer with real guts could pull off as a shot that required "sheer delicatessen." Perhaps no shot in his distinguished career was more "sheer delicatessen." With his two-iron, he drilled the ball over the water and to within eight feet of the pin.
