June 27 Results

Announcements: There is a $50 team scramble tournament here
at the course
 on Saturday - get a group out
or see Brett at the shop and he will put you in play!

Token of the week was awarded to newcomer Bruce? for doing something!

Door Prizes of Free Lunches at Eaglepoint were awarded to
Norm Romano and Ludwig Faisthuber!

Doug Rutledge started off getting a pass to Talking Rock
 but eventually ended up getting two nine hole turns at Merritt!

Next Week July 4 there will be no organizing of a team game
but Robertson promises a free lunch for 1/2 the players!
The Gods of Golf from Eaglepoint will be playing at Semlin Valley!

The last session of Weldon Steele will be played tomorrow against Kamloops!
Gonna whup their butts apparently!

Deuces were given out freely and all these
weiners went home with an extra $5 in hand today!

Ley MacMillan, Wayne Ferguson, Grace Brown,
Bev McIntosh, Art Harms, Dave Assmus
Shirley Wicklund, Gloria Dumont, Steve Walton
(he got 2!), Jack Matthews and Louis Faisthuber!

Shock and awe greeted the announcement that 64 players were out today!


Now to the real meat of the matter - here are the WEINERS this week!

Tied for first were the two teams of :

Doug ( I can sing and bowl but can't dance!) Rutledge, 
Louis ( I can't sing and I can't dance but I sure can yell!) Faisthuber,
 Barry ( I just simply shot Louis's age 77 and had a great day!) Gray,
Les ( I can sweat your joints anytime and yes us plumbers are picky about chicken!) Ekstrom.


Jumping Jack Flash, Bill (Old salt!) Brown,
Longtime Louis sufferer Pat and Norm (Marriage - I can hardly wait!) Romano


When they celebrate a win they go all out!

In Third place was the team of Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn and Marilyn.
Some other people whose names are easily forgotten 
apparently played alongside of her but she managed to send them home
 to keep all the loot for herself! 
Again!
Marilyn firmly believes in the do unto the others 
before they do unto you first!

Then two teams tied for 5th spot 
- was it Harry Neale that said a tie is like kissing your sister?
The Gods of Eaglepoint Golf were out 
- One God went missing as he had a bus to catch! 
Dave (Yes you can run this dang thing 
anytime you bloody want to! 
What no takers!?) Hay,
Al (Let's see one two three ? 
What in hell comes next?) Jakel,
Ley ( If you want to see a bloody irrational number 
try and figure out Whitehead's score card!) MacMillan
MIA was the true champion God of the Golfing world 
- dare we admit it?
 Larry (No my bloody middle name isn't Wendell!) Sill

Osculating madly with them as a group (I know it is hard to believe but have faith cause it has happened!) was this group!
Deb Seibel, Marc (Yes I am back!) Guertin, 
Bruce (Ain't I pretty?! No? That's not what my mommy said!) White, 
and Ruth Kuromi. Thank God the ladies were playing cause well cause their introduction to Eaglepoint Seniors was trying to keep these two stiffs walking and awake the whole round!

 As you can see they started out as a fivesome but dropped somebody at the first tee!

Now cause we are a really nice group we have finishes up to 8th spot!

Sensibly in 6th spot was the fine group of:
 Mark ( I hit the ball really well but they wouldn't help me look for it!) Nadler,
Heather (Bird is the word baby!) Flamingo,
Vic (I am truly a remarkable human bean!) Feere 
and Shirley ( I can tell the whole world about what you been doing!) Wicklund
Oh and apparently the guy that dropped out of the fivesome above 
managed to scramble out of the weeds by lunch time 
and popped up into the picture! 
Something about he thought he had been mugged
 but then realized he was simply sober and it was a strange feeling! 
 ( His initials are apparently Terry Haines?)
 As you can see the team aged fast once Haines got into the picture!

In 7th Spot - aren't we nice to real losers?

Did Haines manage to be sober enough to get picked up out of the bushes - the other guys are so nice!
Barry "what's his name?), Charlie (I am the man! Baby!) Molloy, and Artful dodger Harms!

Charlie Molloy said he was showing Haines correct course management!
Barry and Art said Molloy was wrong in his technique 
cause he hit him in the head 
and after all where there is nothing to hurt what's the purpose?

Finally to get this lengthy list of so called winners out of the way we have the really bad losers award or affectionately known as 8th spot!
Dave ( Hey I am still smooth as silk baby!) Assmus,
 Ken (I'm just new here and don't necessarily 
want to associate with all these low lifes!) MacCormack, 
Del (I managed to beat them all again!) Macready 
and Gerry Soup!

I guess this the price 8th place losers get!

Now comes the truly fine golfers who wandered the course and commented on the frantic winning at any cost antics of the 8 so called superior players - like we are retired already and don't need this compulsive win at any cost mode!


Angus ( Yes I can cultivate a whole new vocabulary in one golf swing!) Gouthro, 
Rick (A few swings here and a few swings there 
- now it all comes back to me It was golf I was supposed to be doing!) Baker, 
Barry Salonen ( He Finnished out of the money!) 
and Grace ( I may be sweet and charming 
but don't get on the wrong side of me!) Brown
As you can see Grace really means it!

These nicer other folks were out there too!
Pooch had his D game working today, - Dang I forget who the big old guy was! Audrey Fisherman's Delight and Brian ( I can't add, I can't golf and don't let me get started singing!) Whitehead.
Audrey had to do the old fish eyes trick again! No wonder they couldn't golf properly today!

Then this fine group showed up somewhere out there!
John ( Yes I do answer to the name of "Hired Hand!") French, Gerry Tresiera ( I always was spelling it Tiramisu but got corrected with 5 iron behind the left ear!) 
Bev McIntosh - a sweet apple and Dwight Yoakum? No Oatway!
Bev said that this was how her day went today! French refused to confirm which one of the guys? he was and Tiramisu pulled out another 5 iron when approached by this reporter in an endeavour to find out which one he was! Oatway is the guy on the extreme right!

Ken (A bar - finally a green I can relate to!) Lawrence, Les (Golfland's finest!) and old soak Ozubko know where to put it to rest when their golf game wasn't up to standard ( Barry Hill just pegged off out the door to avoid further public embarassment!)
As you can see these guys are really into bar tricks!

Another fine group of incompetents also were out there today - couldn't hit, couldn't score and thank God they had Myrtle to help them along!
Myrtle (Putting queen!) Cadogan, Ken (If this is Wednesday then I'm hooped!) Robertson, Jorgen (Danish cheese king!) Sveistrup and Linc ( That's why I am married to her so somebody can pick me up when I fall down!) Cadogan.
Their day was really good till the first tee!
This is sort of how these three guys played today - thank God Myrtle was there!

Paul ( sometimes I am!) Sharp, the ever lovely Laurel (don't tell Angus you said that!) Gouthro,
Tave ( What Mercedes?) Dandy and everyone's favourite Gorilla AKA Ken .
As you can see Nevins needed help getting home again!
Dave ( Just making!) Bacon, Steve Walton, Peter Hasbon and Richard Zorn also graced the course and made a lot of attempts to do something with those small dimpled things but need to see Angus in order to learn how to properly address a golf ball!
I rest my case!
Last and certainly least was this awesome sorry awful foursome of Jack Anxiety, Linda you would be too if you were married to me, Wayne (I have a better swing on my back porch!) Ferguson and Ferne Gosselin
Sage advice given to Jack Angstad a long time ago but he didn't listen then either! HE HE HE

Seasoned Golfers starts 
at 9:00 AM tomorrow June 27

Announcement!  Special from the Golfing Gods of Eaglepoint!

Of course we haven't chosen a game yet for tomorrow.  We have to wait until the last minute so the dis-organization can reach new highs each week!
Start time is 0900 until we poll the course and the masses and decide to go earlier...
You could mention our Eagle Point  Mens 2 man teams best ball tournament Aug 29th.  We would be more than pleased to accept any "new" graft people would like to donate for door prizes. 
If you are inviting guests or others to play at Seasoned Golf please advise them they need to have a valid current handicap
 or their cap is 0!

June 20 Math Calculus was Attempted!

Forty-three of the finest seasoned golfers in the land
 were out this morning at 8:00AM!

9:00 AM Start next week!

Token of the week was given to Wayne Ferguson for no apparent reason and anyone I talked to said Wayne Who? 
Oh well that kind of a day!

Draw prizes were given out and the usual suspects won! Barry? won a free meal and so did Ron Watson? 
WTF! Who is drawing these things anyway! 
How do Lawyers get first in line? HE He HE! 
Nice all around good guy Dwight Oatway won a free play round of golf somewhere! Hope it was good for you!

Deuce pots - yes some people actually played well today -
I couldn't see too many and I didn't as usual! 
Audrey Troutseeker and Terry Haines managed to deuce today - well done!  

Now to the real game - this was an everyone shoots their own ball and calculates their net - then total the team net score per hole then at the end of the round the team can choose their best 2 low net par three holes their best 3 low net par 5 holes and their best 4 low net par 4 holes - needless to say this absolutely flummoxed most of the seniors who the organizers forgot that they can't add without taking their shoes off and collecting pebbles to put in paper cups!

So finally in true Senior or Seasoned Golfer style a lot of ties were awarded and almost every team except mine and a couple of other never wuzzes missed out on the big money being distributed.

Tied for third were the teams of:
 Ed Phillips, Audrey Faulkner, Jorgen Denmark, and Wayne Ferguson


Shirley, Les, Ron and somebody tell me her name again! I forget easily sorry!
Somehow this seems a more fitting picture for these groups!

Now to the more superior players who shot at least 4 strokes better were these two noteworthy teams!

 Anita (ask her how and when Norm proposed - truly a romantic guy that Norm!) then comes Norm and Pat and Del!
They were of course tied with:

 Paul, Al, Brian, and Don!

This kind of represents their state of play today!

Now we come to the real El Supremo Golfers of the moment!

Tied for first place were these fine? (give me some poetic licence for godsake!) players!
Grace, Bill, John and Terry!
And trailing in second in a tie for first was the team of 
Flavio, Mark, Jack and John Campbell!

I've searched the web and found the answer and here it is!
I mean how can any self respecting golfer expect to compete with these guys and gals?

So bringing up and rounding out the field and filling the winners coffers with more of their illicit wealth were these teams.

Laurel, Angus, Myles, and Dwight.
Somebody tell me her name? , Ken Gorilla, Barry Sorry I need a last name? and Vic Feere not for I am the Way!
 Dave Vibraphone, Larry Cannon, Ken Fizzle and Lorraine!
Jerry Campbell, Rick Baker (only slightly out of focus!), Dave (totally out of focus!) and Don Pooch who is always out of focus!

Terry with the donkey ears, Doug and Art!

There appears to be one thing these losing teams have in common!
That's why they find golf so tough!

So remember next week - please no heavy math scoring contests on the scorecards! And be here by about 8:45 dressed decently with a legitimate handicap and not just your drinking buddy!
