Great Tournament on the 23rd of June!

A lot of the gang was out shooting their hearts out but who knows if it transferred to the course?

Our peerless leaders had things well organized and running as smooth as silk!

Dave 

(I'm just a sweet organized kind of guy!) ,

Hay,

Al 

(Running with the money to the border!)

Jakel, and 

Larry 

(Are those stilts or are you riding a chicken?)

Sill

 Selling the 50/50 and Deuce Pot awards were Brenda (Yeah He does have sort of skinny legs!) Sill and Helen (Oh but he is so sweet and organized!) Hay

In charge of entry forms, payments and be dang careful how you approach us if you know what's good for you bub! 

Arlene Sahlstrom and Barb Kenyon.

Christa was keeping things moving but Ray and Jack persisted in hanging around!

Terry (have you counted your clubs?) Yallowega and 

Mino 

(What I wouldn't do for a belly putter 

after all I have the belly!) 

Goto.

Al was commiserating with Jack Matthews - someone had to golf with Jack!

Dave (Yes I am as smooth as silk baby!) Assmus and
Don (Good golf is what I am here for - companionship is all I got!) Puhach were lounging around waiting for the firing of the cannon!

First up and overall Champion was 

Jack Gregson - oops no - Greg Jackson!

Congratulations! Big guy! Go hula hooping next year so someone else can clean up!

Freddy (The Hammer!) Hamarlund was overall low Net Winner! Net 62! 

A love story sort of was Louis (Not only am I an Immigrant I am perfect too!) Faisthuber and clutched in his arms was 

Mark (Not so tight Louis I can get excited easily!) Bodlack They sort of trailed in after the sudden death playoff!

Dave Henri and Murray Moffat did something exciting!

Dan Crawford and John Campbell also were there winning something!

Ivan LeGrandeur and 

Rob (I still are the coolest guy on the course!) Egan also won something!

Brian Whitehead and his new "special friend" Ron Hadley were all over each other!

Winning kind of goes to a guys head!

John (Haven't met a ball I can't slice!) French and Brian Popp also won big (Notice they don't need the clutchy feely type of win that Louis, Brian and others prefer!)

Henry Mori and Gordon Matthews were dressed out in matching golf shirts!

Bill Milburn and 
Ron ( My bifocals are killing me!) Watson 
were also up for something!

Last but least were

Herb Gawhens and Ken (Yeah so I got a big handicap doesn't mean I can't win something) Robertson.

Our Seniors Tournament is a go!

Our Seniors' Tournament is a go!

Weldon Steele Update

you could be very mean and nasty 

and say that 

"at least Jakel and Sinclair got 1 point, whereas 

the hacking duo of Sill and Hay got zip......

but I know you would not put it in this un-principled way

.....hehehe

 

HE HE HE!

How come my correspondents know my

weak points - Sill and Hay looked 

like this at Rivershore!

Apparently they were somewhat adrift!

Thank God Jakel and Sinclair came to the rescue and bailed them out sort of!

Thanks for the fine performance guys!

Sounds like the Weldon Steele group that went to Rivershore did not fare well!

Well, it could be called "well-done" steele in the Rivershore match today.  

Not well done as in good.....but as in burned, smoked, trashed...

The Eagle Point team came away with 1 out of 6 points 

against a finely tuned Rivershore squad.  

BUT....now we are really peed, and eager to exact revenge 

next Thursday at Eagle Point.  

Stay tuned!

Free Lunches were served today to one half of the attendees!

Free lunches? Yes folks right here in Kamloops there is a free lunch program and one half of the seniors in attendance today took advantage of this 

- was this a government subsidized program 

- NO! 

- No Gordon Campbell HST malarkey here folks 

just plain old fashioned 

go get em tiger and win the battle 

in the corner or in the case of these two ladies 

- wrestle on the putting green for nine extra holes 

in order to win a free lunch and 

Barb (Just go ahead and kill those guys in front 

cause I'm hungry!) Kenyon 

managed to squeeze out a defeat at the hands of 

Judy (Yes I know I'm going to make this 2 foot putt!) Cross

What! Oh now how the 

(fill in any of Angus Gouthro's famous 

four letter friendgetters at this point!) 

did I miss that putt!??

Not only did Frank Barrett crush out a hole in one he also feasted off the carcass of Flavio Fachhin!

Big Bad John French managed to dice and slice his way to a loss to Gord Schmid - 

apparently John was thrashing Gord 

and in order to make things easier he decided to 

(fatal mistake here folks!) 

offer Gord a stroke a hole and Gord seized the day 

and ended up eating a free lunch thanks to John!

Wiping away his tears after a very tough loss to 

Freddie (Freeloader?) Hamarlund was Doug Rutledge!

The gals in the clubhouse were happy to serve the troops 

but had a hard time figuring out who paid for what!

Jorgen Sveistrup has a handicap of 21 and 

Rob (Aren't I just the coolest guy on the course!) Egan 

has a handicap of 16 

- So Jorgen shoots a 40 on the back nine 

and 

Mr. Cool pays for the lunches! He! He! He!

Another sort of love story in two parts one happy and one sad - 

like why is Jim Gordon smiling when he had to feed

old Bill (Gee I hates those sand traps!) Brown.

Poor Jeff Hambleton - on your right - fate conspired against him in the form of you know 

Angus 

(Dang and this is only my second year of golf and my handicap is only 7 or something?)

Gouthro!

We did see this picture of Angus though 

and we think it was on number 5! 

He did throw his clubs a little 

and think he dinged his golf cart too!

He never did like that chicken anyways!

Rumour has it that this blog has been unfair and unflattering to Warren Cross! He won today didn't he! However Len Kelly assures this writer that Warren was more like this on the course!

Never unfair nor unflattering

- snarky mean cruel and nasty yes!

Judy says she would be pleased!

Poor old Gordie Craik was wiping his eye after getting cleaned by Robertson today - he said that he felt just like this on the course today!

And no! Gordie wasn't holding the cape!

 Barry McLeod and Andy Webster were out and by the looks of it 

Barry was going to stuff the knife into 

Webster before he paid for his meal!

Dave Assmus, Don Ozubko, 

John Dumont and Pat Dunn 

came, played, ate 

and we don't know who paid for who!? 

and then they left!

Anyone knowing who the winners and whiners were amongst this group please shout!

We think they may have played like this but we just don't know!

We had 24 golfers out today and next week is our tournament - shout and get people registered as we still have room and at this point of writing we are still go for the 23rd!

Frank Barrett - what a big swinger!

A hole in one on the 4th was the order of the day for Frank Barrett today - Congratulations 

and thanks for the brewskis big guy!

Larry Sill simply had to have this added to the blog - he thinks it is incredibly funny!

A husband reluctantly agreed to play in the couples' alternate shot tournament at his club. He teed off on the first hole, a par four, and blistered a drive 300 yards down the middle of the fairway. Upon reaching the ball, the husband said to his wife "Just hit it toward the green, anywhere around there will be fine." 

The wife proceeded to shank the ball deep into the woods. Undaunted, the husband said "That's OK, Sweetheart" and spent the full five minutes looking for the ball. He found it just in time, but in a horrible position.. He played the shot of his life to get the ball within two feet of the hole. He told his wife to knock the ball in. 

His wife then proceeded to knock the ball off the green and into a bunker. 

Still maintaining composure, the husband summoned all of his skill and holed the shot from the bunker. 

He took the ball out of the hole and, while walking off the green, put his arm around his wife and calmly said, "Honey, that was a bogey five, and that's OK, but I think we can do better on the next hole" 

To which she replied, "listen you jerk, don't whinge at me, 

only 2 of those 5 shots were mine."

 Moral :  Don't play golf with your wife 

OOPs sorry Larry I didn't see the note that you didn't want me to attribute this to you! He! he! He!

 

Weldon Steele Update from June 10

My Informant has it that Ron Haywood, Earl Sinclair, Don Puhach and Erwin Nyfeler came back from Royal York and defended their club's honour by crushing Royal York 6 - 0 last Thursday - well done gentleman and good celebration!

You look happy in winning!

On a lighter note - Jorgen Sveistrup sent along this stern warning about why raincoats are coloured yellow!

June 16 - get ready to give it up to the winner!

Although a number of the less intelligent members are playing away on Wednesday 

- cheers all around at this point 

- some of the more edified members and ladies will still be out at 8:30 and the day promises to be filled 

with the sweet sound of curses and moans as shots are missed 

and grass is hacked and putts are putz!

Nevertheless there will be a substantial reward for at least half of the attendees 

- they will win themselves a free lunch! 

That's right - even Einstein thought there was no such thing as a free lunch in this universe 

but we have discovered the free lunch ticket right here in Kamloops!

We will be collecting no money for prizes 

- you have to win your own lunch!

All will be revealed Wednesday morning by 8:20 if you 

are there on bloody time! 

OH By the way! 

If you loses you buy someone lunch!

A couple of jokes to start the week!

Paul was teeing off from the back tees. On his down-swing, he suddenly realized that his wife, Alison, was about to tee off from the red tees, directly in his path. Unable to stop his down swing he nailed the ball, hit Alison directly in the right temple, killing her instantly.

A few days later Paul received a call from the coroner concerning her autopsy . ‘Paul, your wife seems to have died from blunt force trauma to the head. You said you hit a golf ball and struck her in the temple. Is that correct?’

’Yes sir,’ Paul replied, ‘that’s correct.’

’Well, Paul, I also found a large bruise on Allison’s right hip. Do you know anything about that?’

’Yes sir,’ Paul said, ‘That would have been my mulligan.’

Typical Eaglepoint Gentleman returning something he found!

A man walks into a dentist's office and says, "Excuse me, can you help me. I think I'm a moth."

Dentist: "You don't need a dentist. You need a psychiatrist."

Man: "Yes, I know."

Dentist: "So why did you come in here?"

Man: "The light was on..."

A doctor, A minister, and an engineer were playing golf one day.

They were frustrated by the slow play of the foursome ahead of them. They couldn't seem to hit the ball any where, they drove their cart into a tree, they stumbled around, lost balls and left them laying behind in obvious locations.

They called over a course warden and asked if there was anything he would do to speed up their play. The warden apologized and then explained that this was a group of blind firefighters. They all lost their sight putting out a fire in the clubhouse the year before. Since then the golf course let them play whenever they wanted and didn't hastle them.

The three friends thought about it and expressed appreciation for the golf courses compassion.

The doctor said, "I have a couple friends that are world-class eye surgeons. I will ask them if there is anything they could do to help."

The preacher said, "I will have my whole congregation pray that God will send a miracle to help those poor firefighters."

The engineer was quiet for a few minutes and then asked "Why don't they play at night?" 

Weldon Steele Update!

After a close fought battle in Revelstoke 

(cold, wet, ugly) 

(See I told you that's just like the girls you dated in high school!)

where the Eagle Point team prevailed with a 3 1/2 to 2 1/2 thrashing of the Revelstoke team, the return match at Eagle Point was again a hard fought battle, 

with the teams finishing 3 to 3.  

So, Eagle Point comes out on top 6 1/2 to 51/2.

The next match was played at Royal York in Armstrong.  The team of Puhach, Sinclair (rookie!), Nyfeler and Haywood cruised to a 5 1/2 to 1/2 victory in Armstrong.  The return match is this Thursday at EaglePoint. June 10.

Our team is ready for Royal York!
