Storm chasers

Nine oldtimers ignored the "infallible" weatherman Thursday and were rewarded with a challenging day of golf. The deaf guy, who couldn't hear the gale force winds, ran away from the competition with only The Lumber baron interupting him on the back.

WHS golf tournament, “have player, need team”

As our group grows selecting teams has become a circus. Effective Thursday 20 minutes before the first tee time the club will print a sign-in sheet for me to use to select teams. ONLY players who have signed up will be put on teams. Players who would liked to be automatically listed on the tee sheet simply have to let me know and I will take care of it. It is important you let the club know when cancelling.......................It has been suggested to me by mutiple people that it would be nice to play 2 man teams occasionally. Effective Thursday, when there are 10 or 14 players we will pay out two man teams by a post play draw. 2 team pay for 10 and 3 team pay for 14for each side. If doable we will schedule teams by like tee boxes on those days................Tuesday results...Most all the singles money won by Mike +5, Bill +4, and Leroy n Jimbo +3. None were on the same team. Other 9 players were combined -31. Leroy's team of Rich n Mac won 2 team sides. Bill n Mac won closest........................Moosmann +1 to 28. C. Voss -1 to 27. Hall +1 to 28. Aholt -1 to 29.

One damn fine security blanket!

Needing some assistance to get over the top Tom called on his Son-in-law(def; the boy who got into your daughters knickers) Ray for help. It paid off. With excellent coaching and mental support Tom was +4, +5, +9 to take most of the singles money. The team game was totally different with strong play by Bob, Leroy, and the deaf guy winning most of the money. CJ was closest on 7, Bob on 14..............................Johnson +1 to 29.

The triumvirate rules

Three men and three different paths. One of them was returning from the golf abyss, one of them was returning from a failed fishing trip, and one of them was returning from a golf school in Florida. As teammates they would have been a +19. But alas, each was saddled with teammates of marginal abilities. Mr 300, after many rounds which questioned his place in the game fired off a +7 to win front and total. Wolford, who found his power draw much superior to his fish depth finding, and Mr Storage, who returned from 4 months at the Dave Pelz golf school tied for second at +6. Closest to the pin were won by Charlie Voss, the ancient mariner, on 7, and Mr concentration, Tom, on 14. Loghead, in a MacDonalds fast food drive-in in Olathe KS at 7:15 barely avoided a late tee off penalty......................Miller -1 to 22. Dister +1 to 26. Kossmann +1 to 25. Purschke -1 to 25.

RICH PURSCHKE ... En Fuego!!!

 For two sessions in a row, Rich Purschke has been on fire.  He has swept the singles ... both sessions ... and he led his team to a sweep.  And if either of the guys on his team showed up the last session, he would've swept that too!  Congratulations, Richie.  It's not often that a guy increases his quota by two points, two sessions in a row.  Eichelberger did it.   And now you!

Hall, Dunlavy and Dister.  Bupkus except for Tom getting the greenie on 14.  Curran splits first and second with Rich on the front and takes solo second on total.  His teammates, Clark and Eggert ... NADA!!  Coleman, Aholt, Kossmann and Purschke go +6, +5, +11 destroying the competition.  Aholt gets the greenie on 7.

Rich Purschke +2 to 26. Bob Coleman +1 to 33.  Mike Clark -2 to 33.  Dennis Kossmann +1 to 24.  Greg Curran +1 to 28.  Dave Dister -1 to 25.

When one hurts we all feel pain

Eight of the Oldtimers fraternity took to the course on Saturday. Although one of us limped to the finish line it did nothing to diminish the joy of fellowship we felt. We are, afterall, Oldtimers. Rich had a banner day placing first on all three legs. Greg was closest getting the second place ribbon on all three plus winning closest on 14. Greg also led Bill, Bob, n Charlie J to team victory.

Move over, Augusta National, Franklin County CC will lead the way

As with the touring pros, the onslaught of FCCC by the Oldtimers has revealed a glaring distance issue. This was brought to a head when Ed suggested mining the area left if #10 cartpath. After a rabid discussion Thursday a super majority agreed to require the use of a flight restricted ball in official Oldtimers play effective May 1st. Only players who have not purchased new clubs in the last 25 years(Leroy and Rich) or balls(Dave D and Rich) will be excluded from this requirement. Please stay tuned to find out the legal list of balls and how to acquire them. Thursdays play found Leroy bounce back from some really ugly golf lately to finish first across the finish line on total and front. CJ was one stroke back on total, won the back and closest on 7. Rich was closest on 14. As usual it was "The Rock", Mike, who led his team of Jimbo and Tom to team dominance..........................................Eichelberger -1 to 33. Clark -1 to 35.

April Fools day to the 4th power

some people spend their money on fat farms, some on meditation, and some have power retreats. No one, however, spent their money more wisely than Bob did for the four month golf school he just finished. Firing a blazing 4 under on the back for a +6 total he separated himself from everone except bad knees Mac who tied his total. Mac, however, was the better captain leading Rich, Dave, and Greg to team dominance. Greg was closest on 7, Mac on 14...........................New quotas as follows; Aholt 29 * Blackwell 31 * Clark 36 * Coleman 33 * Cozzo 27 * Crow 33 * Curran 25 * Curtis 31 * Dister 27 * Dunlavy 26 * Ecklekamp 36 * Eggert 30 * Eichelberger 34 * Fortner 30 * Gildehaus 29 * Hall 28 * Herrick 27 * Johnson 28 * Kavanaugh 27 * Kossmann 23 * Loyd 23 * Miller 23 * Mitchell 27 * Moosmann 27 * Morris 24 * Nealis 23 * Purschke 23 * Sharma 30 * Triplett 30 * Viox 27 * Voss, Chas 29 * Voss, Colby 32 * Voss, Dean 35 *
