Pyramid Schemed …but BASF donates anyways

We’re both thrilled and ashamed at the same time.

Golfdom Editor-in-Chief Seth Jones, along with sales manager Craig MacGregor, took the stage at the BASF booth in San Diego to play “Superintendent Pyramid” — based on the TV game show “$100,000 Pyramid” — to win some money for Disabled American Veterans.

The train derailed when MacGregor failed to get Jones to guess “Taylor Made.” As the clock wound down to zero, Jones suggested MacGregor pass to a new word. “Dude, I already passed to a new word,” MacGregor groaned. Talk about not being on the same page, these guys weren’t even in the same book.

Their grand total of one — one! — correct answer got them $100. But, thanks to BASF’s generosity, an additional $1,000 was thrown in and the team still got to say they won $1,100 for charity.  Not bad for a parting gift!
