August 21 Las Vegas Golf

We had 44 seasoned players out today.

The organizers apologized as there was some late arrivals and adjustments

and Del Macready and Linc Cadogan were left out of the play

- through no fault of theirs!

Stuff happens however this does highlight the need to be in the clubhouse

by 8:15 AM

so that we can be sure to have everyone with the right group

before heading out to your teeboxes

- PLEASE!

You know the drill - hit your tee shots and then roll the die

and find out if that shanked sucker into the weeds is going to be the spot

all four of you have to play from!

You add up your handicaps and divide by four and subtract it

from your team gross scramble score and away you go !

A number of our members were seen on their knees praying for 5's and 6's today!

Token of the week went to Shirley Wiklund cause she really do need to practice!

Heather Heron (who told this here newsy that I was really starting to P her off?!!!)

Shocking behaviour from who is so old too! He He HE
Anyway Heather won the awesome Eaglepoint golf hat!
Thanks to the Pro Shop!

First place and happy though Guertin looks like someone drove over his dog! Was the team of John French, Larry Sill, Marilyn Peterson and Marc Guertin.

The boys felt that it was worth flipping Marilyn for!

Nice glutes Marilyn!

He He He

(I so get pleasure out of this job!)

In Second spot as usual? was the team of Old What's her face? Wiklund,

Ken White, Artful Dodger and Rick Baker.

Shirley as usual was up to the challenge and said hey guys let's outdo Marilyn!

Two of the guys were up to the challenge - go figure!

Third spot was taken by Gary Barber, Brenda White, the Herring Choker and old socks and sandals Sharpe.

The guys were really into the game but Brenda was a little more nonchalant!

4th spot was taken by Gerry Tresiera, John Pizarczyk, and Mark Nadler.

These guys were really dashing on the course and moved so fast that I couldn't get a picture -however from my reckoning Tresiera was dead last till the end and by the looks of it John was going to overtake him at the end!

 Freddie Freeloader, Fingers Ingram, Linda Anxiety and Rick Boulton managed to scramble in to 5th place despite carrying Boulton all the way!

Linda got cleaned up after and said it was quite a challenge out there today

- nice hair Linda!

6th place was taken by Bev McIntosh, Terry Haines, 

John St. Louis, and Ley McMillan.

Haines had his mouth full of hamburger but afterwards he said he had a little clip to show of his prowess on the field and thanks for sharing this!

Nice round-off Terry!

Scraping in Seventh (we pay out deep in Seniors Golf!) was this forgettable foursome of Mad Dog, Jack Anxiety, Bruce the Big BAD Bear, and Tave Dandy!

Tave said, " hey newsy - you had the wrong name on that clip you published a few editions ago - this is me just the other week helping the guys out down at the beach!

Please correct the impression that I, Tave Dandy, do not dare to be bare at the beach

and I handle balls really well as all the guys attest to!"

END OF QUOTE

This is a very quotable clip Tave and I stand corrected!

He HE HE

Getting in on the game but winning nothing again was the team of Bob Peace, Eugene Mehr, Doug Rutledge, and Donna Futurama.

They said it was a fun game but Bob got a little testy when he got in a little trouble!

You can see why! was it the cold water Bob?

Also on the course  but mostly off it was the team of Charley Molloy and Myrtle Cadogan.

 Myrtle also had a shot to show off her past performances!

Man these gals will go to any length to top each other!

Del Macready and Linc Cadogan were on the course but got abandoned by the gang - sorry about that!

Del said, "Ken this is what it is like to play for nothing on the course!"

One dang thing after another!

Also on the course today was the foursome - one left before lunch

- and being a senior I can't remember who

- was the fine group of Fern Gosselin, Ken Robertson and Ken Rollier

Oh and by the way if you find a ball with the intials KR on it

please turn it in to Ken Rollier as he needs balls!

HE HE HE

Fern said it was sort of like this all day long!

 Ruth Futurama and Dave Hampton golfed but Ruth said the best part was the water cooler breaks!

Dave, ever being the gentleman helped Ruth's thirst on the course!

 Nice pouring Dave!

Finally cause there was no other place to put them was this trio of Vic No Feere, Heather Buzzard and Ron Litigator.

 Heather said there were some real challenges on the course but like Marilyn I say nice Glutes Heather!

I don't know how I make it out alive on the course most days! He HE HE!

Senior Men's 2 Ball Tournament next week on the 28th so the next Senior's Golf will be

September the 4th - hope to see you there before we see you under the turf!

Results of the Lone Ranger on Wednesday August 7, 2013

There were 56 out for Seniors' Golf today!

Great weather and the only wrinkle was playing

Lone Ranger -  He He HE!

 Trying to decipher the rules 

and figure out whose ball was in play 

and what ball was counting was fun! 

NOT!

Oh well the Gods of Golf blow the winds of fate

around and we all end up in the dust heap eventually!

Keith Larson was on hand to thank us for helping out 

with the Seniors Golf Tournament last week! 

Thanks Keith but come out golfing with us once in a while!

Reminder to please enter your current handicap scores 

and use the new USGA rules of  handicapping! 

Thanks!

Weldon Steele competition - we ended up second in our zone! 

Missed out by a measly 3 points 

(Robertson - try and get past Revelstoke next year!)

Phil Walls won the Eaglewood Restaurant voucher 

and Dana Skoberg won a sleeve of excellent balls!

Steve Walton was awarded the Senior Token of the week!

Now to the real weiners out this week!

 First in their minds and last in our hearts

was this fine team of Tave, Dave, Bruce and John!

 Tave said it was great being escorted around by Dave and John - nice figures guys!

Bruce for some reasons unknown decided not to parade around in his tights!

 In second place was the team of Terry - I hate these pictures newsy! Marilyn, Les and Dana.

 Reports have it that Marilyn had a great deal of fun on the course today!

 Jim, Ian and Ken were busy on the course and took third spot - apparently their fourth was a real shooter !

 As you can see they were buffed for the action today!

 Fourth spot was taken by Pat, Bruce, Dwight and John!

 Apparently they were blown away by the competition!

 Tied for fifth was the team of Ley, Anita and Jerry!

 Apparently they were operating on McMillan's math today!

 Also in fifth spot but looking over their shoulders at the competition was the team of Brian, Dave, Marc, and Vic.

 Now these old timers know how to finish off a round of golf!

 In sixth spot today was the team of Louie, Bob, Brenda and Ken.

 They decided to show the rest of the gang 

how to really do it!

Nice work Louie!

 

 Jack, Heather, Lincoln and Mark were also out and about - Heather said it was a real glide!

 Now that's golfing Heather!

 Only an Englishman could wear socks with his sandals - Paul, Rick, Charles and Myrtle were together to the end!

Charley decided to show off his stuff at then end and we thank him for this!

 Shirley, Larry, Dan, and Phil were also there today - Shirley said hey let me out of here and caught her usual ride home! He He HE!

 Somehow this represents how we see Shirley? 

NO - aww go on!

 Shakey, Kit (hard to believe I am older than he is!) Don (Fingers to you!) and Pooch also scrambled around the course!

 I managed to snag this picture of Don Ingram when he was apprenticing! Not that long ago either!

Flavio, Dennis, Lorraine and John scrambled around!

 Lorraine said that a day on the course is better than what she has to do at home and seeing this picture I believe her!

 Quit leaning on your splitter Lorraine and get the day's wood in the house!

( I love giving her orders!!)

 Freddy Freeloader, Linda, Barry and Pat also toured the course but not too successfully as this little reel shows - apparently Pat was driving and he sort of overshot the course!

 Last and least in our esteem was this team of Me, Norm, Paul and Sylvia.

 We sort of shattered all kinds of notions about how good our game was!

As you can see this is how Robertson scored an 8 on number 17!

So CU on the course before we CU under it! 

Next Wednesday 

- I am not here cause I am not there next week 

- off to Summerland to vacation 

and try the Senior's Tournament there!

Remember 8:15 AM if possible so the organizers can get their fiendish plans into play!

Try not to look for lost balls too long like we did today and ready play golf and putting!
