August 24 Seasoned Golfers get your big fat out on the course!

Audrey Faulkner managed to use some well placed dynamite and landed this sucker - wiped out a whole salmon run apparently!

Some people's children are just natural born killers!

As you can see she really didn't have a grip on it

- just like her golf game! He He He!

Get out on the course on Wednesday and tell all your friend if you have any and acquaintances that they have to play at least three times before they qualify for the tournament on Wed Sept 14!

Seniors Tournament - Men and Women - September 14

Golf Meditations

 If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age.

 Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three.

No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse.

When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls.

A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponents luck.

Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.

 You can put "draw" on the ball, you can put "fade" on the ball, but no golfer can put "straight" on the ball.

 Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it.

Results from August 10 - Lo Net + Hi Net results from 4Somes.

 

39 Golfers out today - the deuce winners should receive this treatment!

Ley MacMillan, Mark ?? Nadler? How the **** did he do that?, and Mark Hasbon.

Announcements: 

September 14 

- Our Club Seniors Championship will be held then

- participants must have played three times in our Seniors Group this year to qualify!

The Men will be in 2 or three flights depending on the 

Powers That Be Decision Making 

which usually consists of a decision 

just as they turn in the gate at the Club!

The Ladies will be in one flight at present! 

But what do I know!

It will be the usual random draw for groups but obviously not a team game that day!

Any prizes or give aways that you or someone you know has would be welcome!

Weldon Steele

- We are away at Logan Lake tomorrow 

- meet at the west end of Costco for Al Jakel, Charles Molloy, 

John French and Marc Guertin. 

- 8:30 AM and good luck at Meadow Creek in Logan Lake!

Now to the High and Low Net results for today! Great weather wasn't it!

First Place was the Team of 

Angus Gouthro, Dave Hay, and Al Jakel! 

Oh yeah they dragged Fast Eddie around the course too!

Only because Hay luckbagged out with an eagle 3 on 18!

How they could shoot a 142 at their age is marvellous!

Guess that's what it takes!

In Second Spot this week were the team of 

Don Puhach (Enough to make me sick to my stomach!) 

and John (Hired Hand) French, 

Dave (bringing home the ) Bacon 

and  Gerry Campbell!

Puhach and French should look sheepish 

stealing our hard earned money!

Yeah yeah yeah! You came second you losers!

In Third Spot this week was 

the old Danish Pirate Jorgen Sveistrup 

just back from cruising the Skategatt? 

or some waters between Sweden and Daneland. 

Helping him was Bill M. Brown, 

Marc (Dang did I just lift my head again?) Guertin, 

and Lincoln Cadogan.

In 4th spot with her eyes wide shut was Lorraine Zimmer, Mark Hasbon, and John St. Louis - their 4th ran away with the spoon?

It was a wild ride for them today!

Finally in 5th spot were these fine golfers!

Dennis Fitzmaurice, Arlene whatever, Doug Roughage, and Art Harmful.

Don Puhach insisted that I put this in! 

For Arlene's edification apparently?

See you in the recovery room Don!

These other groups were on the course today. 

And in no particular order 

as they have no class here they are!

Ken Reporter, Kirk (Just a second while I take this call!) Galbraith, The ever Divine Laurel and Mr. Gadget!

Their game was really good low Nets 

but Really bad High nets!

 Losers!

Also outstanding in the field was this group!

Bev brought along Harvey Haldahl from Drayton Valley 

- their partners in crime left before lunch!

You can tell they really enjoyed the game today!

Also out and about were:

Marilyn Picture Perfect, Ron Hayward and Tave Dandy!

The ladies said that this is what it felt like 

dragging Hayward around the course today! 

I understand entirely!

Also seen around the clubhouse was this group:

Flavio Italiano, Shirley, Larry and ? I Met him, 

I introduced myself, I asked his  name 

and then time passed 

and I don't know! 

Help me out here!

This typifies the kind of day they were enjoying.

Finally and not because I have a grudge against any 

Deuce Pot Winners 

but this group was also around the course 

and Nadler did manage to scrounge a deuce here are 

Dave Assmus, Mark Nadler, Erwin Nyfeler,

and Heather Heron.

They played the course!

And they looked dang fine doing it too!

Good luck next week - Off to Summerland next week and then Edmonton following week 

so may see you on the 25th or not - good luck!

August 3 Results of some kind of Golfing Game!

The Powers that be

determined that we would play something which no one understood but we being the sheep we are just went ahead and played anyway! When you are a seasoned golfer you get used to this type of treatment!

As you can see there was an odd one in the crowd today - two from Kelowna apparently!

So there were 43 Seasoned golfers out today and the two guests from Kelowna.

The Powers that Be announced the following items of no particular interest but are repeated here if you want to know about them.

Kamloops Golf Club Senior Men's Tournament is on Monday, August 8. 

$70 and Dave Hay is the lone entrant from Eaglepoint so far

- give it a go!

Weldon Steel - Up at Logan Lake on August 11 - 

we need one more player - 

at present, Marc Guertin, Charles Molloy and Al Jakel are signed up -

Shout if you can make it or are interested !

There were 3 Deuces today - Don Puhach, Vic Feere, and Fred Hamarlund.

Good golfing guys!

The results of the team play today - (it was one point for a bogey, 2 points for a par, 3 points for a birdie, and 4 points for an eagle! All net of course!)

Managing to steal $60 from the rest of us was the team of 

Freddie Freeloader, Artful Harms, Jack Angstad and Puhach? WTF?

How did he get in there again?

These clowns know how to double their money! Must be Republicans!

In Second Place was the team of

John (mildly embarassed at his 79!) French, Marc (hold it I lifted my head again!) Guertin, 

Del Macready, and Phil ( I have a tough time getting my Big Fat A** out of bed!) Walls.

The Swiss Cheese was back with a harem and took third spot!

Lorraine, Bev, Heather and Erwin with his flowers!

And as you can see the Swiss Flower Boy is back in action!

Then we move along to 4th spot - where this group managed to luck out!

Ben (Yeah I won the 50/50 but don't tell Audrey! We won't!) Nielsen, 

Mark Nadler, Shirley from somewhere 

and Audrey (He didn't tell me anything about winning a 50/50!) Nielsen.

As you can see Ben had to be somewhat inventive in keeping 

his 50/50 winnings away from the wife!

Finally in 5th spot was the organizing team who always manages to win some of our hard earned cash each week! I might add! 

Larry, Dave, Myrtle (How did a decent girl get in a spot with these guys?) Cadogan and Dean Haines from Kelowna and no he is no relation to Terry and he thanked me for pointing that out!

As you can tell our Powers that be are experts at getting the bacon!

Sad to say that your intrepid reporter failed to get a picture of his group - consisting of Sal Harms, Bob Helfrich, Lincoln Cadogan and self. He rummaged through the files and found this in the best by category!

It kind of typifies how they played!

Also in the definitely LOSERS category this week were the following groups.

Wayne (I shot a 41 out and a 41 in - isn't Par 82 at this course?) Hall, Marilyn (Don't you ever forget to put my picture in you paparazzi you!) Petersen, Ian (I did my best but the Force wasn't with me today!) Jacques and Angus Gouthro.

We got a picture of Angus when he was a real player though!

Thank God Laurel has had time to clean him up!

Also out there whacking weeds and causing mayhem on the course were:

Vic No Feere, Tave (Yes I am!) Dandy, Dave (Just bringing home the) Bacon and Hawaiian EddieVelestuk.

 Losing caused them some serious cash flow problems apparently!

Gerry, Audrey and Les were also around the ball alot - Les decided to show them how to fix things when he is at work!

Free estimates are given out whenever for his quality work!

Arlene, Gerry Tiramisu, Rick Baker and the ever divine Laurel were also out and about though Arlene complained that Don shouldn't have won that much money and she would make sure that she got her share!

Arlene has this way of working on Don to see that she gets the money apparently!

Finally, Karen, Lorne and Ley rounded out the field - Lorne was just here for the good time and Ley had a quick moment of lucidity!

However Ley's Senior memory has it moments and they are soon gone!

August 3 What is happening?

The powers that be are going to give us some dang game to play and a list of rules and dang if I know what  is happening !

Rick Baker sends along these two for your edification!

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security.   The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age.    I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet  at home.   I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.  

The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. 

So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. 

She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.

When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office.    

She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.' 

 And then the fight started...

And also this one!

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. 

She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 mph in about 3 seconds." 

I bought her a bathroom scale. 

And then the fight started...... 

Or you could spend some time watching Piff the Magic Dragon
