Question

Is it true that someone counts every strand of grass on a tennis pitch before the game is played???

Answer 1

Yes. I did it once. You wouldn't believe how difficult it is. You never get it on the first attempt, because you lose count. It takes at least half a day to count it accurately. On that day, there were 1,345,332 strands on grass on center court.

Answer 2

I'm afraid not. But they do cut the grass very carefully. Oh and by the way, it's called a tennis COURT, not a pitch.

Answer 3

lol. i've never heard of them around

Answer 4

Yes, but he's got to be SO careful. If there's even one blade too many, Wimbledon will be cancelled. Now that's what I call pressure...

Answer 5

Are you there, vodka?  It's me, Bambi.

Answer 13

Yes Bambi Wimbledon hires lil boys from 3rd world countries to count the blades then lets them eat any excess that are over and above the alotted number per court. It's a real delicacy in some countries that don't have food or grass.

Answer 14

yes and if theres to many they have to pluck them out.

Answer 15

yes there little weirdos called the grass counters, but there illusive like the people that put the big ad posters up round town you never see them strange :)
