There is no "R" in the logo as the "Real" (ie Royal) is represented by the
crown.

4. Tennis (Davis Cup)

5. Soccer / Football (World Cup)
5/7

6. Rugby Union (World Cup)
0/7

Good scoring on this one, *and* no-one fell into the trap of answering
Lords.

9. Augusta National (US Masters)
3/7

10. Happy Valley race track, Hong Kong
0/7
Tough for this forum but plenty of punters at the local club knew it!
