Homeless golfers invade FCCC Oldtimers
It was inevitable, a sign of the times. it only takes a leisurely drive through downtown and the local parks to realize that homelessness is an issue in our town. Thursday, four of them invaded our sacred Oldtimers golf game. they were easy to spot, three of them putted from the wrong side of the ball and the other pretended to be in the Lumber business. some of our Oldtimers rose to the occasion. Jimbo, saddled with two of the indigents( Loghead n the Lumber Baron) fired off a +5, +1, +6 to tie for front with a +5, tie back, and win total. The family dunlavy, with Jeff tieing the front and taking 2nd total took front and total team despite having to take Lefty Leroy to the soup kitchen at the turn. The team of Motor Home, Outbid, and the border guard, devoid of homelessness, powered to victory on back n total. Jimbo won closest on 7 while Loghead claimed victory on 14 despite objections concerning his abuse of the flag stick."..................................
Charlie Johnson -2 to 27. Jeff Cozzo +1 to 27. Terry Moosmann -1 to 27. Charlie Voss -1 to 25. Leroy Eggert -1 to 31. Jim Eichelberger +1 to 28.

Divot repair day
Tuesday was divot repair day. 16 eager clubbers including Oldtimers Missle Man and Loghead teamed up with Borgia golfers and coaches to spread nearly 5 tons of sand over every one of Jimbo's professional divots. some of his divots were in heavy rough and a few were out of bounds (wait, did i say out of bounds). Following this a nice rain Wednesday helped our repair job and should definitely enhance the enjoyment of our members and guests in the Krakow Cup this weekend..... please remember to sand your divots and one other this summer.........Thursdays matches were a race to incompetence with the final total 32 below. Charlie Voss bucked the trend however with a +1, +3, +4 to take front, back, n total plus closest on 7. Leroy n Bob played solid and along with Tom carried the Lumber Baron to a team trifecta. Leroy slopped one in on 14 for closest..........Of the 10 players in today's field, 9 of them will have a different quota for their next round. Only two added a point to their quotas. Leroy Eggert +1 to 32. Charlie Voss +1 to 27. The 7 who lost a quota point are: Dave Dister -1 to 25. Charlie Johnson -1 to 29. Rich Purschke -1 to 20. Dennis Kossmann -1 to 25. Bill Hall -1 to 28. Bob Coleman -1 to 34. Tom Dunlavy -1 to 23.

Bearish
QUOTAS PLUNGE LIKE THE STOCK MARKET
If you didn't play today because you thought your score might harm your team, well, you missed out. Out of the five who played today, there wasn't a single, politive nine hole segment to be found. Charlie Voss was -1, even, -1 to split the front inidivdual, win the back and total outright. The team of Hall and Dister won the front at -5, lost the back to Voss, Moosmann and Dunlavy's -8 ... and the teams tied total at -15. Dister split the front individual with Voss at -1 and tied 2nd individual with Moosmann at -6. Hall wins the greenie on 7 and Dunlavy wins the greenie on 14.
Dave Dister -1 to 26, Tom Dunlavy -1 to 24, Bill Hall -1 to 29 and Terry Moosmann -1 to 28.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going
A steady drizzle for the last 12 holes, soft conditions with no role, and a dropping temperature combined to dampen some of the 8 oldtimers games. It didn't slow down our top handicapers however. The Border Guard won front and total and took 2nd on back. Outbid (Who slid down the hill on six after trying to show off his ballerina moves) took the back and together with Jeff F led Rocket Man and Loghead to a sweep of the team game. Jeff n Charlie J won closest. whatya mean you mean you let the deaf guy keep score? next thing you know you'll be letting the blind guy drive the cart. Final tabulations and payout were delayed when Loghead's scoring was found in error(like many errors)........Bob Coleman +1 to 35. Mike Clark +1 to 34. Jeff Fortner +1 to 31. Charlie Johnson +1 to 30.

Is Early Voting’s victory in the Preakness a political Thing???
Out of the paddocks and into the starting gates came 9 frisky spirited Oldtimers.The sprinter(Jeff Fortner, a late entry) got out of the chalks fast to win the front and the marathon man(LEROY) won the back n total. It was the herd however (Mr 300, Rocket Man, n Loghead) who romped to an across-the-board victory in the team game. Mr 300 took 2nd on front n total and split on back with Tom. Jeff Fortner had a total lack of respect for the Oldtimers in winning both closest to the holes. The Lumber baron's team questioned his elgibility claiming he wasn't a three year old. The border guard was heard muttering about the added weight he is forced to carry. The auditor ended the festivities by serving up Black Eyed Susans to celebrate his birthday...... Jeff Fortner +1 to 30. Dave Dister +1 to 27. Leroy Eggert +2 to 31. Tom Dunlavy +1 to 25. Bob Coleman -1 to 34. Rich Purschke -1 to 21. Terry Moosmann -1 to 29.

Behavioral idiosyncrasies reveal genetic control of phenotypic variability Aka A “Leroy” kind of day
Throughout history oddities have been the bane of society. And no nonconformist activity has been more disrespected than left handedness. Back in the day elementary teachers would snap their rulers on the hands of students writing left handed. on the field of battle they would be refered to negatively as "Southpaws". Some of the "Southpaws" however became the cream of the crop. One of our lefthanded oldtimers quarterbacked his team to a state championship. Tuesday, along with the Lumber Baron, he asserted his dominance against 8 other oldtimers getting both closest to the holes, helping Mac n Bill to a sweep in the ream event, tieing front and taking second on total behind the Lumber Baron. Mr 300 tied Leroy on front and was seen after the match giving loghead instructions on how to uncross his eyes to putt better. The border guard received honorable mention with a 2 under par back for a +3 and second......If you're in the last group ... and you don't win the greenies ... you're just cheatin' yourself."
Quote from Leroy Eggert as he left the festivities with both greenies on May 17, 2022
Bill Hall +1 to 30. Bob Coleman +1 to 35.

A long time coming
Unlike most of Oldtimers I not only had never got a hole-in-one I had never seen one before Thursday. So when my shot on #3 landed on the front fringe and bounced toward the hole I just thought good shot. When Dave said it's in the hole I still didn't believe it. Then Mike confirmed it and the celebration was on. Golf is a great game when it can get The adrenaline pumping on a 78 year old. Thanks to the 5 points there I posted a +6 on the front and total winning singles and helping my team of Mike and the Dave's to victory on front, total, and a tie on the back. Rich won the back, Bill took second on front and tied for total with DD who was second on the back also. Tom won both closest to the hole......Charlie Johnson +1 to 29. Bill Hall +1 to 29. Mike Clark -1 to 33. Mack Miller -1 to 22.

Climatize dudes, and do it fast
For 10 of the 11 old timers Tuesday it was an oppressive hot and humid day. But for the border guard just recently returned from duty along the Rio Bravo del Norte it was a walk in the park. Carding a cool 68 he won front n total in singles with +5 n +6 and along with Bill n Mac did the same in the team game. Mr 300 won the back at +3 with Audit man (Terry) and Retread (RP) one stroke behind. Retread also took 2nd on total, tied the front with Outbid (MC), and won closest on 7. The banker (LE) won closest on 14. A bunch of guys tied for 3rd on total and the teams with no Bob's on it tied back. "Most efficient shot" of the day by Loghead when his chip attempt went under the ball barely moving it and therefore not requiring him to change his stance. "Cry me a river" shot by The Banker when his drive on 13 into the hill near the cart path never to be found resulted in a 2 stroke penalty..... Rich Purschke +2 to 22. Bob Coleman +1 to 34. Bill Hall +1 to 28. Tom Dunlavy +1 to 24. Mike Clark +1 to 34. Charlie Johnson +1 to 28. Leroy Eggert +1 to 29.

The Massacre at Wolf Hollow
Taking very seriously their responsibility to uphold the honor of The Krakow Oldtimers Golf Group three members of the group plus one Guy from the projects entered The Washington Historical Society Golf tournament on Monday with blood in their eyes. It wae a relatively small draw albeit one with Brad Carpenter and some young guns as opponents. Off to a torrid start the Oldtimers (The auctioneer, Davey A, n Loghead, plus Hammering Rick Bouse) were 8 under after 7 holes. Battling some trickey pin placements the Oldtimers stayed the course to shoot a 54, 17 under par to beat the young guns by 3..............Tuesday back at the ranch the temperature went from chilly to cold during the round. It didn't bother The Missle Man, who led Mr 300 and the border guard to a team and singles trifecta, the first time this blogger can recall it happening. Retread got some crumbs and along with Loghead got closest to the pin...........Tom Dunlavy +1 to 23. Charlie Johnson -1 to 27.

When a golfer cries on the course does anyone hear him?
soggy conditions in an otherwise excellent day saw 3 of the 5 oldtimers strut their stuff. Rocket man fired off on the front and his booster rocket propelled him to victory on the front n total plus a tie on back. Leroy tied him on back n took 2nd on total. Bill took 2nd on the front. Team Charlie was swimming upstream all day but Loghead managed to get closest on 14. Grizzly hit a beautiful shot on 7 but the disrespecting Banker beat him out by 2". Grizzly was last seen wandering the parking lot wondering where the hell his car was.Leroy Eggert +1 to 28. Tom Dunlavy +1 to 22. Charlie Johnson -1 to 28. Charlie Voss -1 to 26.

Thank you Tom for sharing your wealth
It was the oldtimers honor tuesday to add some great young talent to our humble game. Thanks to the Ray Sharma family who are their host we welcomed The Key sisters; Wenyung, Munchin, and Siyi hailing from Auckland NZ and Izzy Leung from Hong Kong. Wen was a top player for the Washington Huskies where her 133 career rounds tie for 4th all time. Her accomplishments would fill a page but one of her greatest honors was being invited to compete in the inaugural Augusta Womens Amateur Championship. Issy Leung from Shatin Hong Kong played for the University of Hawaii where she led the team in scoring average for 3 consecutive years and was named first team all Big West. The ladies anchored 4 teams and the pleasure of watching them play brought smiles to the 11 old timers present. Along with Bob at 11 siyi won closest to the pin on 5 even though playing from the blue tees. Grizzly and Retread raked in most of the money but there were no losers on Tuesday. Charlie Voss +1 to 26. Michael Parmentier -1 to 32.

The answer my friend, is riding on the wind
Wind don't move a bowling ball, and Mr 300 don't shoot splits. Ten Oldtimers showed up today. Temperature-wise ... perfect. The winds ... not so much ... literally howling out of the Southwest. That didn't deter the team of Coleman, Moosmann and Sharma. They handily won the back and total at +4 and Even. Their perfect day was squelched by a +5 front posted by C. Voss, Eggert, Nealis and Dister. Individually, Dister won the front at +5, tied with Moosmann and Sharma at +2 on the back and won total at +7. Hall takes 2nd on the front at +2. C. Voss and Moosmann split 3rd at +1. Moosmann takes 2nd total at +3 and Eichelberger takes 3rd at +1. Nealis wins the Greenie on 7. Dunlavy takes the Greenie on 14. Dister goes +1 to 26. C. Voss -1 to 25. Eichelberger -1 to 27.

SOLD! to #67, the man in the camo pants
A recipy for enjoyment. perfect tempature, gentle winds, and a course slowly drying out. Out of 8 golfers one golfer enjoyed it most of all. The Auctioneer shot a cool 67, +4, +4, +8 to win all the singles and carry the team of DA, TD, and BC to a resounding victory. Dave A and Bill won closest on 3 n 11. Resigned to irrelevance Team Charlie (with BH n Terry) resorted to trick shots. Grizzly won in a slam dunk by skipping one over the lake to terra firma on 10. A collection was held for Mr CPA and Loghead who lost money and went up a point. No one gave. For the first time this season, all the changes are positive. Mike Clark +2 to 33. Charlie Johnson +1 to 29. Terry Moosmann +1 to 30.

The race to zero, A spring phenomena
Ah, spring golf. Balls blown off course by wind gust, wedges lodged in soggy ground 1/64 of an inch behind the ball, plugged balls lost forever in the fertile subsoil, and greens that go bump in the night. Again Tuesday 5 of the six Oldtimers failed to get their number. Tom won front. Rich tied back and him and Bob won closest. Mike won total, tied back and led his team of BH n BC to victory on back n total. CJ, RP, n TD got the rest of the crumbs. Rocket Man drove off not fully sure why he can help build a rocket to hit a target 3 thousand miles away but can't put that frigging ball in the hole from 4 ft. Mike Clark +1 to 32. No other changes.

Old timers invaded by “The Hustlers”
The old timers were privileged to have some talented guest for today's game. Ryan Eckelkamp brought Matt Hoemann and and Bob returned from his tour of guarding our southern borders. A strong wind and low chill factor at tee time turned into a marvelous day on the back nine. The auctioneer was again the toast of the day winning back, total, leading his team of BC and RC to team victory on the back and total, plus winning closest at three. Ryan E won closest on 11. Matt's team of CV, LE, and CJ had a solid effort with no minuses to claim the front. Tom won the front with a whole bunch of guys fighting for the remaining quarters.Ryan Crow -1 to 31. Ryan Eckelkamp -1 to 37. Tom Dunlavy -1 to 22. Leroy Eggert -1 to 27. Jeff Kavanaugh +1 to 27. New player, Matt Hoemann 38.

Old men need roll
6 old timers spent so much time cleaning their balls they had no time to concentrate. Missile Man fired off on the front with a +4 to drag BH n CJ along screaming and crying to team win on front and total. Cream rises to the top and the auctioneer was the only plus for the day winning total, 2nd on front, tying BH on back, and helping DD n CV to a team victory on back. Oh, did i mention he was closest on 5 n 11. After crashing in the ocean when his booster rocket failed on the back Missile Man's vibes were so bad his cart died on 17. RIP.......Dave Dister -1 to 26. Tom Dunlavy -1 to 24. Charlie Voss -1 to 27.

Fab 3 rules
One day after making the Friday skins group "April fools" the Fab Three (Hertz, The Auctioneer, n Loghead) turned their attention on the other 8 old timers. Dean n Mike tied the front and total with Mike helping his team of JE, CV, and TD to victory on the front and back. Dean won closest on 3, Bill on 14. CJ led BH n DD to victory on the back. sweeping the rest of the loose quarters off the table were CV, JE, n CJ.
Stinky n the Gambler were see leaving, shaking there heads and mumbling something about the wind only blowing hard when they were hitting.
The wind took its toll today. Six of the 11 Oldtimers dropped a point. One more of the "youngsters" (Dean Voss) moved to the White tees. He stays at his course rating adjusted 36.
Mike Clark -1 to 31. Ryan Crow -1 to 32. Dave Dister -1 to 27. Leroy Eggert -1 to 27. Bill Hall -1 to 28. Charlie Johnson -1 to 29.

Where we at????
8 old timers teed off in Antarctica and putted out in a sweltering New Orleans heat. so many layers of clothes were shed it was reminisce of an old time strip poker game. We played a two man game only. Mike and Tom won front, Leroy and Rich won back and tied total with Bill and CJ who were 2nd on front and back. Mike and Leroy were closest on 7 n 11. Loghead was censored severely for his choice of games but hey, you gotta have someone to hate and Bob's not here yet.
Bill Hall +1 to 29. Leroy Eggert +1 to 28. Rich Purschke -1 to 20. Dave Loyd -1 to 23.

Saturday
Only 5 of the toughest, most determined Oldtimers teed off into a 20 mph wind with temperatures in the 40's. Henseforth they shall be referred to as the G-5 of the KOGG. The lumber baron hit putts outside his own zip code to narrowly edge The Banker on the front. Loghead was closest on both 3 n 14 and tied The Banker on the back. The Banker won total with The Baron 2nd. Stinky and Hitch showed up and were pleasant to play with.
The Charlie's went down Voss to 29 an Johnson to 30.

St Paddy’s prayer
"O Lord, please give me 2 good rounds in a row". 11 guys in green (maybe a couple are color blind). Leroy won front with a smooth (or maybe not) #3. Bill +2 and Rich +1 right behind. Guest Charlie Curtis (former famous blogger) let it all hang out on the back with 2 under par +5 which narrowly edged DD +4. Jim next at +2. on the day Mr Dister had no equal winning total with +3, carrying his team (CC n RC) to back n total plus, for added insult winning closest on 7. Charlie V got closest on 11. Team Leroy (MC n CC n CJ) took front. Until next time!

Team Loghead (CV n DA) took back and total and tied Team Loyd for the front. Fisherman Dave won closest on 5 with a ball just barely inside 50' SAY WHAT!!!

Rules and regulations aka Dister’s laws
Several Oldtimers have asked why we don't start with fresh quotas every year. Starting fresh would be a bookkeeping nightmare, but using your most recent scores as a base is something your Acting Commish is willing to do. The quotas below represent your last five competitive rounds in the Krakow Oldtimers Quota Game. As your participation increases, your rounds that will be averaged for quota will increase to ten. This will allow more volatility at the beginning of the season. We will still use -3 as the lowest score to be entered. Yes, even if you're -10 on the day, your score will be recorded as -3. We have to protect the field.
The committee has also decided to have one Greenie in every round. Charlie Johnson will inform us at the beginning of the round which Par 3 will be the Greenie Hole of the Day.
As a result, the daily entry fee will increase to $3.50 per day. The additional $.50 will be awarded to the Greenie winner.
Charlie has also volunteered to officiate optional events ... like Skins ... for those who wish to participate. He must be informed of your intent to participate before the beginning of the round. All monies for those optional events must be given to Charlie Johnson. He will disburse them to the daily winners.
As always, we ask that you bring the proper change, give $3.50 to one representative per group ... and turn your money and scorecard in before you unload your clubs and change shoes.
Charlie Johnson has also agreed to be our official blogger, now that Charlie Curtis has left the fold. I want to personally thank CJ for taking on this task as I am absolutely clueless as to how to publish a blog. So, if there are anecdotes you'd like to share with the group, make sure CJ knows about it. And, we'd also like to recognize Charlie Curtis for getting the blog started in the first place. He will be enjoying Michigan in the summer, but we hope to see him when he's in town. He will be missed.
Once again, we're proud to have the fairest game at FCCC. The rules are simple and few:
1. Some part of the ball has to be inside the 24" piece of tape ... marked from the butt of the handle touching the hole ... for a putt to be considered a 'gimme.' This must be enforced by each group.
2. Guidelines for the tees you play from will be as follows:
49 years old and younger ... blue tees.
50 to 69 years old ... white tees.
70 to 79 years old ... yellow tees.
80 through 85 years old ... red tees.
86 and up ... family tees.
These are guidelines. You don't have to move tees if you don't want to. But!!! Once you move, you have to stay there. It's too confusing to move back and forth. The Acting Commish will tell you how much your quota increases as you move forward.
3. Play the ball as you see fit and be consistent about it. If you wish to play it down, do so. But play it down every time you play. That will give you the most accurate quota for your style of play. If you wish to bump it, do so. Our rough has a habit of becoming ... shall we say ... unruly ... in the growing season. We've already had torn shoulders and torn wrists from the "hackage" that ensued trying to extricate balls. Our game is fun ... and I repeat ... fair. Also, you are allowed to rake and place in all bunkers. You don't have to hit from footprints or plugged lies. Again, we're the Oldtimers ... for the most part. If you want to play in our club championships, you will have the opportunity to follow the rules to the letter.
The game will officially start when the weather permits ... probably Thursday, March 10. But, quota game or not, the stalwarts will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon, Saturdays at 11. Be there at least 15 minutes early for the draw. Now, for the starting quotas.

Out of the frozen tundra
Out of the frozen tundra.
The week in review. Finally, Tuesday brought great weather and eight old timers started brushing off the rust. It didn't take long for Hall n Voss to win FB n T in the best ball contest. Retread Rich claimed closest on 11.
Thursday was a chilly 50 and best ball was split with Eggert/Voss winning front and total and Jim/Tom taking back. Voss (heard that name before?) claimed closest to the pin. Tom, Jim, Leroy, and Bill won one skin each.
see ya next week

So long to 2021
Thursday Dec 30
On a nice day in the 40's but with no wind nine old timers showed up to ring out the old year. Parity was the name of the game with no one more than 4 strokes away from victory in the Nassau and only 3 skins out. Team Charlie plus Ryan E eked out a victory on the front and total with Bill, Tom, and Josh winning the back in a tie breaker. The Voss clan won two of the skins with Bill winning the third. #7 was closest to the pin and Mr Hall won in a slam dunk.

Off with his head! Winter Commissioner falls down
Thursday 12/16 on a brisk sunny day 9 energetic optimistic old timers played a 2 best ball, 50% skins, and closest to the hole on 3 & 5. The teams were randam draw (my bad) and the elite team of Hall, Voss, and Coleman lapped the field. Tom got two skins and 5 others got one. Voss and Harrison got the closest to the pins. Since our Old Timers group is based on a handicap philosophy in the future we will attempt to meet one criteria: "On the 1st tee box everyone has a chance"
Tuesday, December 14, 2021
A full house beats all
Tuesday the 14 was a full house of 12 old timers including one on leave from constructing the border wall. The format was 2 man best ball and 50% handicaped skins. Skins were hard to get with 4 old timers getting one each.
Best ball, however, was a slam dunk with the team of Loyd/Johnson winning front -3, total -5, and tying back -2.
Off season commissioner Johnson promises a varied number of formats depending on # of players and welcomes suggestions(don't call me, i will call you)

Thursday, December 8, perfection on five
What a day, what a round, what a life. after 25 years of golf I have finally witnessed a hole-in-one. Dennis K Lofted a beautiful ball on number five into a white flag it landed and disappeared. On the day the team of Tom, Leroy, Rich, and Dave L swept the team game. In singles Dennis and Rich tied for the front and Tom on the back and total with Dennis second on total.
After play we decided to abandon the points game for the winter and play various other games depending on the number of players.
Sunday, December 5, 2021
Saturday 12/4
A blustery Saturday found 7 old timers battling for the enormous purse present in today’s golfing world. The team of Dennis K, Bill, and Jeff won handily. Jim, Charlie V, and Tom played valiantly but the lead weight provided by yours truly was too much to overcome. Seventeen guys tied on the front and DK won back and total. I would like everyone’s input on some winter formats. Several players have expressed discontent with keeping the same # all winter. Give me ideas please.

RSM CLASSIC.....AGE AND ABILITY VERSUS YOUTH AND POWER
Today on another beautiful day, with once again hardly any breeze blowing, I scored for Brian Gay, age 49, OWGR #380 (380 FOR GOD;S SAKE). 5'10" AT 160 LBS. along with youthful Seamus Power, barely out of diapers and Dylan Frittelli, seasoned touring pro (top 10 finish at the November Master's last year). Not counting the 4 par threes, Brian Gay hit driver off of every tee. Power and Frittelli hit about 5 or 6 drivers, with a few fairway woods and several utility irons off the tee. Gay's driver barely kept up with their fairway woods and irons. Gay was fairly accurate with his driver, but played several shots fron the native areas, and with one exception got up and down, every time. On the back he shot a smooth little 30!!
Power usually coupled with accuracy, beats the hell out of short and good feel, but Brian Gay was one stroke behind Power and beat Frittelli by 5 shots. It was an impressive day for old short guys. Way to go Brian Gay, snazzy shoes and all. Tommorrow I score for Adam Long, St Louis based pro.

RSM CLASSIC 2021 YAMAHA PRO-AM
Today I had the opportunity to walk with Tom Hoge and his three amateurs on the Seaside course at Sea Island Ga. The weather was fabulous with just a breath of wind blowing off of the sound. While waiting I walked around the practice putting green.
Patton Kizzre a local Sea Island pro.
One of the caddies using a level on the putting green.
Wait a minute....what is that guy doing??
Anybody need any Callaway stuff?
Former RSM CHAMP
Jason Day teeing off in front of our group.
Tom Hoge and his caddie Harry.
After my round I noticed this double decker Taylormade equipment trailer. Lot's of god stuff in there!!
All in all a very rewarding day. Tom Hoge is an excellent example of what and how a PGA Pro should handle himself. He was constantly reading putts for his team, as well as congratulating their shots. Tom took the time to spend time with everyone in his group, even yours truly. A great day was had by everyone. On too tomorrow and the beginning of the tournament.

REALITY ON THE PGA TOUR
Most everyone thinks the the players on the PGA TOUR have it made. Big dollar sponsorships, free this, free that, free Green Egg BBQ grills (yes, that's true). Free luxury courtesy cars and delicious free meals at the hosting club. All you have to do is finish in the top 125 every year. But what about the other 300 plus players trying to get a chance for all of this. Monday qualifiers.....Every Monday before the weekly tour event up to 150 Pros tee it up for 4 spots to play in that weeks event. Half of those 150, had to Pre-qualify just to get into the Monday qualifier. Jeez Louise! Today I had the chance to walk 18 holes with two different threesomes at Brunswick CC. A Donald Ross design that was recently brought back to what Donald intended in 1920 something. Think about playing 18 holes with every green like our 8th hole...with super fast greens and hole locations like we play on 16 everyday. Tough, tough, tough. Consider designing a course using only animals to pull the plows. No large earth movers back then. Consider clubs with wooden shafts and leather grips as tools the players had to tackle the courses. Some of you Old Timers reading this...used those clubs in your early golf careers. 150 young studs and many seasoned Pga veterans showed up today to play for 4 spots. Past Pga tour winners who lost their status. Pga veterans outside the top 125. Aspiring young kids, too. Tommy "two gloves" Gainey, was -1 before I joined him and Sam Saunders (yes, Arnies grandson) who was even. Both shot +5 on the back making them to decide what to do next year, as this is the final stop until 2022. Frank lickliter, Bo Hoag, DJ Trahan, Spencer Levin, Beau Hossler a fairly recent grad who has fallen on tough times. I could list 20 more veterans that showed up without a courtesy car...no snacks and fruit on the tee. No Gatorade in the coolers...just plain old water. No free buffet in the clubhouse. Just 150 excellent golfers of all ages just trying to get a chance to become a part of the top 125..Thanks for showing up today fellas...
Enjoy the RSM Classic this week on the Golf Channel. I'll be the guy wearing the pink mirror glasses.

Pink Bird
While kayaking in the marsh today, I came across the below interesting Pink Bird. I've never seen one with this coloring before. Unlike most wildlife near the water, this bird didn't fly away when I got close to it. Enjoy.

JEKYLL ISLAND
Lynne and I traveled to Jekyll Island yesterday to play the Pine Lakes golf course. It was a beautiful day for golf and we had the opportunity to see plenty of wild life and a few really large alligators. The birds were sunning by the 18th tee. Notice their large curved beaks, Truly ugly ugly birds. The gator was also sunning by a pond about 50 feet from the 5th tee box. Lynne was not happy with me stopping to take the picture at all. Stealing from the "bear" joke...I told her that I wasn't afraid of the gator...as I believed that I could outrun her if need be. Take care all.

THE OLD TIMER'S ACTIVE POIN T SEASON IS OVER
The Acting Commish has declared that the active point season is over for the winter. If you continue to play in the game Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday, your points will remain the same until next spring. Continue to play youe same set of tees as you have up until now. If you for some reason you play another set of tees this winter, please adjust your required points up or down as shown on the scorecard. It was a great season for the Old Timer's. Our gae is as fair a game of golfas any handicap contest. Many thanks to Dave Dister for compiling our points list. It is not a simple effort on his part. Also many thanks to each of you who have assisted in the after play scoring and money distribution. Have a great winter and holiday season.
Charlie out!

JUST WHEN YOU THINK THE GREENS COULDN'T GET ANY FASTER AND THE HOLE LOCATIONS ANY HARDER
Ed, if you by any chance are reading this we love quick greens and some challenging hole locations, but today was PGA/LPGA material. Top dressing and then rolling mid round made things really tough, not that the Old Timers aren't tough guys, but come on man! ease up a little. The course is in excellent condition, with the leaves changing FCCC is a gem right now. 11 old timer's showed up today and one team battled the conditions better than the rest. Dave A, Tom and Charlie J with even, even, even, win everything today. Dave A takes the front +2, Charlie V takes 2nd and six of you tied for 3rd. Yours truly completes all three Charlie's taking home a little cash from the pot today, with a +3 on the back. Tom, Charlie's Vand J tie 2nd with +1. Charlie V takes total, +2. Charlie J 2nd +1. Too bad if your name wasn't Charlie today. It looks like Thursday is a rainout, so see you all Saturday at 11:00.
Charlie Voss +1 to 30. Dave Dister -1 to 29.

IT STARTED OUT CLOUDY AND DRY, WE GOT A LITTLE WET, IT ENDED UP JUST FINE
Golf today was again challenging, we had a little rain for the front nine, and again really tough hole locations. One group stood up and took control of the situation. Team Terry, Dean, Dennis K, plus yours truly won the front, back and total with scores of +3, +8 +11. Surprisingly, the winner from the front didn't come from this team. Charlie V with a nice even par on the front +4, takes individual. Tom, Dave D and Dennis tie for 2nd. On the back the winning team also claimed most of the individual money. Yours truly with +4, Dennis with +3, and Dean with +1, (Jim ties for 3rd ) take the back. Dennis +5 wins total while team Charlie V and C tie for 2nd total. A rare occurrence happened today...everyone on the winning team today was even or positive for the entire day, considering the challenging cnditions. Well done!!\\
Today I did the quotas before I had my "toddies".

IT WAS CHILLY, IT WAS WINDY, THE LEAVES ARE EVERYWHERE, AND THE HOLE LOCATIONS ARE GETTING HARDER
It's no wonder with the conditions out there none of the Old Timers was positive for the day. Just when you think that the hole locations can't get any more difficult...they do! Twelve of us struggled to get the ball in the hole all day long. Once again it was four teams of three, which is a great game. The front was a little easier to score on as two teams managed to be +2. Charlie V , Jim, and Lroy tied with Dave D, Dennis K, and yours truly. The back was really ugly....reminds me of a little ditty we used to sing.....U G L Y you ain't got no alibi you Ugly!! you Ugly! Dave D, Dennis and yours truly wins the back -7 and also total -5. Individual scoring was not pretty either....Jim ( a baby Old Timer) was even for the day and took total. Pretty decent round. Dave D, Rich, and Tom tie the front with +2. Bob, Jim and Charlie C tie the back -1. Dennis is 2nd on the back as Dave D and Charlie C tie for 3rd. It was made official yesterday...the leaf rule is in effect until further notice. Again, to receive relief from a ball not found in a leafy area, it must be assumed that the ball would have been found if not for the leaves. Balls in the woods, near a hazard or the water probably will receive no relief.
Before ending todays blog, I want to address my "eye" comments from Tuesday. It appears that my attempt at humor missed the mark and came off as a little offensive or defensive (depending on your side of the story). Enough said. See you all Saturday.

BEAUTIFUL DAY TODAY...EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE SOME DIABOLIC HOLE LOCATIONS
I have one simple thought.....if you don't like my temporary eye condition....you don't have to look at it. For the record I was helping a teammate locate his errant shot. As they say...no good deed goes unpunished. Another thought...instead of me wearing an eye patch...you could wear two of them...problem solved.
Today was a fabulous weather day, the course is as good as we can expect. The hole locations were extremely tough..I did see Ed playing this evening...at least he gets to experience what we do.
Today 12 of us played as four threesomes...which is a fabulous game. Team Charlie V and C, along with Mac won the front...Oh wait our accountant pointed out that his team.. Terry, Lroy, and Charlie J actually won with +2. Bob, Bill and Rich take the back +1, while two teams tied for total -3. You know who you are.
Charlie C wins the front +4, Charlie J 2nd +2, Charlie V and Terry tie 3rd. All three Charlie's cashed in on the front. Rich and Dave D tie on the back with +2. Bob and Dennis K tie for 3rd. Dave D with the only positive front and back takes total +3. Rich is 2nd +2 and Charlie's Vand J tying for 3rd. Not bad golf today for really challenging conditions.

PLAYING GOLF YESTERDAY WAS BETTER THAN A STICK IN YOUR EYE (MINE ACTUALLY)!!!
Beautiful day yesterday as 11 Old Timer's took to the course. Lot's of good golfing your ball, as 9 of the 11 were positive or even for the day. Let's start today reporting the individual results.....Rich +4 wins the front, with Jeff K and Bob coming in 2nd with +3 each. Steady play saw Bob winning the back and total at +3, +6. Excellent play yesterday Bob!! A nice little 67. Bill is 2nd on the back +2, with two of you tying for 3rd. With a pair of +3's (Dave I apologize for interrupting you multiple times during your announcement of the scores) Jeff and Bill tie 2nd total. Rich and Jeff led Leroy and yours truly to a victory on the front with a fine +8 total. As might be expected Bob led a strong team (Dave D, Bill, and Tom) to victory on the back and total +4, +9. Team Charlie (V and J) along with Dennis K.....thanks for coming.
Only one change. Dennis Kossmann drops 1 to 26.

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY FOR OLD TIMER'S TO GOLF THEIR BALL
The greens are recovering nicely from aerification, some are really soft and some are really firm, and some are just right. But they could be a little quicker...I'm just say'in. Only 2 of the 11 Old Timer's were positive today, and both they and their teams won money todat. Charlie J led Rich and Dennis K to victories on the back and total..+2, -2. Tom led his team, Ryan, Dave A, and Bill to a victory on the front +1. Tom won the front +5, tied for 2nd on the back and won total +6. 3 tied for 2nd on the front. Rich turned around his -4 on the front to win the back with +2. Charlie's J ad C take 2nd and 3rd respectfully for total. There will not be a Saturday game due to the Hummingbird Tourney.
Tom Dunlavy +1 to 24. Bob Coleman -1 to 34.

BEAUTIFUL WINDY DAY FOR OLD TIMER'S
The temperature was great for fall golf, off of the paths, and most of the rough saw the rough mower at least come close to each hole. The greens are getting better and rolling much better. Only three of us managed to be positive for the day, while the remaining 7 struggled a bit. Charlie V, Dennis and Dave A win the front and total, +3, +1. Bob, Terry and Rich win the back at -1. Dennis wins the front +3, with Dave A taking 2nd +2, and tying for 1st total with Terry +4. Terry wins the back +3, and Dave A taking 2nd +2. Too many ties for third too mention names...play a little better to get your name in the blog...For the record Dave A gains 1 to 31...I was just a little premature.....
Dave Aholt +1 to 31. Charlie Curtis -1 to 30. Terry Moosmann +1 to 30.

A STORY WITH A MORAL.......
In 1923, Who Was:
1. President of the largest steel company?
2. President of the largest gas company?
3. President of the New York Stock Exchange?
4. Greatest wheat speculator
5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?
6. Great Bear of Wall Street?
These men
were considered some of the world’s most successful of their days.
Now, 98 years later, the history book asks us, if we know what ultimately became of them.
The Answers:
1. The president of the largest steel company. Charles Schwab, died a pauper.
2. The president of the largest gas company, Edward Hopson, went insane
3. The president of the NYSE, Richard Whitney, was released from prison to die at home.
4. The greatest wheat speculator,
Arthur Cooger, died abroad, penniless.
5. The president of the Bank of International Settlement, shot himself.
6. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Livermore, also committed suicide.
However: in that same year, 1923, the PGA Champion and the winner of the most important golf tournament, the US Open, was
Gene Sarazen.
What became of him?
He played golf until he was 92,
died in 1999 at the age of 95.
He was financially secure
at the time of his death.
The Moral:
Screw work.
Play golf.

PUTTING SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE THIS CHALLENGING
From many personal experiences, we all know that aerifying our greens is crucial to keeping them healthy. Instead of punching them once in the fall...you punch them three times....will they be three times as healthy??? We can only hope so. The old adage fits well here....if you wish in one hand and shit in the other......which one fills up faster?? Normal golf maintenance practices call for preparing the course for play early in the day so that everything is ready for your entire 18 holes. I.E. each green is mowed, rolled etc for your round. Yesterday was quite the roller coaster on our greens. In addition to aeration, with some greens having more or less top dressing than the others...we decided it was a great idea to mow some of the greens mid afternoon, then roll some of the greens as well. With the exception of you few Old Timers that have putting challenges on a regular basis.....it was certainly a challenging day trying to figure out the greens. Those who did so, we congratulate you. Enough of my rambling....and I am not under the influence of any alcholic fluids.
Now back to yesterday's results.
Before that, I must digress...one of our fellow Old Timer's suggested the my earlier posting of the female tennis player was actually a male tennis player. Please scroll down and closely examine the picture and decide for yourself..
12 of us showed up yesterday, with only two of you being positive for the day, meaning 10 of us were not. Dave D, and Dennis K led Mike and Tom to victories on the front +3, and total -1. Charlies V and J, Rich and Dave A won the back +1. Dennis wins the front +4 and takes 2nd total +1. Bob is 2nd on the front +3, Bill and Rich tie 3rd. Charlie V, Dave A, and Ton all tie on the back +1. With his continued steady play Dave D wins total +2.
Tom Dunlavy -1 to 23. Terry Moosmann -1 to 29.

NO MATTER WHERE YOU TEE THE BALL UP......65 IS A FREAKING GOOD SCORE!!!
We jokingly say that someone is on fire during the round after having a few good holes...but Bob was blazing away all day. A spectacular round including a hole out from 16's fairway bunker for a duece!! All told Bob was +8 for the day, which for you who are needing help with the math is 42 points. Certainly one of the highest point totals for our little group of Old Timers. Bob, Dave A, Dennis K, and Mac win the front +6, and total +7.
Rich, and Charlie's Z and C squeak out the back at +2. As good as Bob's day was he didn't sweep the individual. Dennis H won the front with +4. Bob takes 2nd, +3. Bob wins the back and total +5, +8. Three of you tied for 3rd on the front, and three for 2nd on the back. Dennis K takes 2nd total with +4. 9 of the 11 Old Timers were positive or even for the day. Don't forget that golf Saturday will start a little later due to the Battle of Krakow Ridge.
Bob Coleman's amazing 42 point day elevates his quota to 35. Congrats, Bob, on your terrific rounds.

6 SHOWED UP....ONLY 3 WENT HOME HAPPY
Charlie V and Tom pushed Bob across the finish line in first place. With totals of +4, -3, and +1 they swept all three sides today. Tom gets 1st, 2nd 2nd, and Chas V gets 2nd, 1st 1st. Bill with -1 ties 2nd on the back. I had the opportunity to take a cart out (along with a tall whiskey and water) and tour the Donald Ross course at Boyne Highlands. What a beautiful layout in way up north Michigan. Some of the greenest grass I have ever seen. Pretty special place. See you all Thursday at noon.

SATURDAY IN THE PARK
A small group showed up today and enjoyed a pleasant round. The new cart path on 18 is surely a welcome addition to the course. I for one was plenty tired of the old bumpy ass path. Terry continues his stellar play leading his team consisting of Dennis K, and Charlies V and C to a complete sweep with +6, +2, +8. He also swept the individual with +6, +3, +9. Bill takes 2nd on the front and total with +3, +3. 4 of the remaining 6 tied for 2nd on the back bringing home .25 each. Not sure exactly what you can buy with .25 these days?? changes to the quotas will be reported later. See you all Thursday.

THURSDAY OLD TIMER RESULTS
Yesterday saw 13 of us take to the course on a beautiful sunny day. It is really nice to see improvements being made to our course without fretting over how we are going to pay for it, or that we're adding to our debt as some of us are very debt conscious. Yeah I know borrowing money today is almost free...almost. On to golf....I have written many many times about how a single teammate has single handley drug their team to victory with their stellar play. Some times the opposite happens...one teammate is so bad...that they alone snatch victory from the hands of their team. Yesterday it happened to two of the four teams. Other than yours truly who's putting woes destroyed any chance for his team of winning, the other Old Timer will remain nameless (his score -11! will be revealed). Ray led his team of FIL (Tom), Dave A and Mr -11 to a win on the front +3. Mike, Terry and Charlie J win the back and total with -2, -1. Ray, Tom and Charlie V (9 straight pars on the back!!) each won a share of the individual game on the front, back and total. Both Ray and Charlie were +5 on the day, nice going.
Tom Dunlavy +1 to 24. Charlie Voss +1 to 30. Bill Hall -1 to 32.

saturday's results
This is the Acting Commish putting keystroke to pixel. I would like to congratulate our blogger on his remembrance of the 9/11 attacks 20 years ago. Well-crafted and heartfelt. I am sure every Oldtimer shares in his sentiment. He mentioned the Amex at Bellerive being cancelled and that Tiger had to drive back to Lake Nona. His passenger on that trip was his manager. And they created the groundwork on what was to become the Tiger Woods Foundation on that trip. It is one of the very few "Foundations" that has been successful to its vision. The TGF has done a world of good.
Today, five stalwarts made it to the first tee. That in itself should tell you it wasn't an official game, but we played the quota game nonetheless. The twosome of Terry M. and Dave D. won all three legs ... +5, +1, +6. And that score was entirely the contribution of Terry M. and his brand new Calamity Jane ... his Odyssey putter. He shot 34/39/73 on a very windy day. That gave him +7 on the day. He individually beat the team of C. Voss, Hall and Eggert ... and his own teammate of course ... on front and total with +6, +7 and tied C. Voss for first and second on the back at +1. Well done, Terry.
The Acting Commish has made a decision on how to play a change made to the course recently. There are several new collection basins (small ponds) strategically placed to help with drainage. The basin short and right of #12 green could cause a problem. It's bone dry most of the time ... maybe 4 or 5 feet deep and definitely in bounds. There is a large, metal drain placed in the center of it at its deepest point. Should a ball find its way into that basin it will rest against the man-made drain. That's why the Oldtimers will play those basins as ground-under-repair and take a free drop, no-closer to the hole. This rule will remain in effect until further notice.

20 YEARS AGO TODAY
Thursday, September 9, 2021
THURSDAYS BUMPY RIDE
The weather was perfect. The greens weren't. They've been aerated and top dressed (I'm sure that procedure was needed.) However, they were being cut and rolled as we played and that procedure didn't start at 18 and work backward. It was haphazard So ... some were a lot faster than others. That may have been the "root cause" as to why 6 of the 10 players turned in negative quotas. The results: The team of Kossman, Johnson, Purschke and Dister won the front ... +3 ... and total ... +3. The team of Coleman, Harrison and Voss won the back at +1. Individually, Dister wins the front, back and total ... +3,+3,+6. Johnson and Purschke tie for 2nd and 3rd on the front at +2. C. Voss wins 2nd on the back at +2. Hall and Coleman tie for third at +1. Johnson's +2 takes 2nd total and Hall and Purschke tie for 3rd at +1.

BELLERIVE CC PRACTICE OF KEEPING ZOYSIA ALIVE WHILE WAITING TO REUSE IT
ndent
Bellerive Country Club
We Grow Our Best Zoysia
on Pavement
It has become a running joke among the Bellerive agronomy team that we grow our best zoysia grass sod
in our parking lot. Whenever we have leftover sod pieces from a sodding project out on the golf course,
we lay out the excess pieces in the parking lot of our ground maintenance facility until a new location to
lay the sod on the course can be identified and prepped.
As crazy as it seems, an asphalt parking lot does have its pros as a growing environment. It’s a constant
warm environment which zoysia enjoys being a warm season turf species, the turfgrass isn’t subjected to
the stresses of being mowed or run over by golf carts, and it has a readily available supply of water being
situated next to our equipment wash station. No superintendent enjoys sodding zoysia grass, sodding
tall fescue is much easier by comparison. If fescue is kept hydrated it will blend into the existing turf in a
matter of weeks to months.
Zoysia is a multi-year commitment as it can take up to three years for zoysia sod to completely blend into
the existing turf. A superintendent once said that in year one zoysia sod sleeps, year two it creeps, and
year three it leaps. Zoysia grass already has a slow growth and recovery rate compared to other turfgrass
species such as bermudagrass, but that slow growth rate is even slower in freshly sodded zoysia which
takes a few years to get going. Being a warm season turfgrass species that goes dormant in the colder
months zoysia’s slow growth rate is hampered even further by only having an active growing season in our
climate from April-May through September-October.
This is why divots on a tee box take an exceedingly long time to heal over and golf cart traffic on fairways
is often restricted over the winter months as it would cause damage to the plant that cannot be seen until
it exits dormancy in the spring. Zoysia typically has a mowing height of 0.500-0.600” which requires
zoysia sod to match up perfectly with the existing turf, as mowers would scalp if the transition between
sod and existing turf wasn’t perfect due to the low height of cut. To help alleviate this problem it is
preferred to walk mow zoysia sod for its first season as a walk mower reduces the risk of scalping and is
easier on the plant. With all of these factors stacked against it maybe there’s some truth to our running
joke about growing our best zoysia on pavement.

TODAY BROUGHT OUT QUITE A FEW OLD TIMERS...WITH VERY GOOD RESULTS
First off let me say that it was really nice to join the group again today....it has been a long time since I have been able to enjoy your company for a round of golf. Now, on to the words...and it looks like quite a few of them...................... from the Acting Commish..............First, let's take care of business. We have a quota-game tee-time this Saturday, the 4th at 11. Bill Hall has a skins game tee time on both Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th at 8 a.m. There will be no quota game on Tuesday the 7th because the course will be closed. The quota game will resume AT 11 A.M. THURSDAY THE 9TH BECAUSE YET ANOTHER OUTSIDE EVENT HAS OUR NOON TEE TIME. Apparently other holes will be closed to install drainage in the near future. Your quota will be decreased by a minimum of one and a maximum of two quota points based on your quota on that particular nine holes. If your quota is 13 or lower for that nine, your quota for that nine will be reduced by 1 point. If your quota is 14 or higher for that nine, your quota will be reduced by 2 points. It has been agreed on by the committee that the reduction of your quota should be based on what 1/9th of your quota is.
Today's weather can only be described as splendid. Some of the pin placements were questionable, but as the Bard once said, "We all had to play them!" Fifteen players started and all who were plus on the day got money back. On the front, led by Jeff Fortner's +6, his teammates; Bob C., Jeff K. and Charlie J. prevailed at a remarkable +9. The back and total were taken by Dennis K., Dave A. and Dave D. at +4/+7. Dennis (The Menace) Kossmann did something this reporter has never seen in his 35 years prowling the links of FC ... he was 2-under on the par 3s WITH A DOUBLE BOGEY ON 5. 4 birds and a double and that's why he's THE MENACE!! Individually, Fortner takes the front at +6, Eggert takes the back at +5 and they split first and second on total at +7. Second and third on the front was a 4-way tie from Aholt, Coleman, Voss and Eggert at +2. Second and third on the back were tied by Kossmann and Morris at +2. And third on total was tied by Aholt, Voss and Kossmann at +3.
Eggert +1 to 31. Fortner +1 to 28. Purschke -1 to 21. Curtis -1 to 31. Harrison -1 to 24.

PATRICK CANTLAY'S PUTTER CHANGE
“Historically a blade putter user, Cantlay has been in a Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5 tour prototype since April’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The five-time PGA TOUR winner was seeking a putter more conducive to a straight back-straight through stroke. In June, Cantlay won the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday with the mid-mallet X 5 pictured below. It featured a double-bend shaft and no sight-line.”
“However, Cantlay switched to a Phantom X5 with a sight line following the second round of last week’s THE NORTHERN TRUST. He also began drawing a line on his Titleist Pro V1x golf ball to help his alignment on short putts.”
IMO...If it is good enough for a person that made 33 feet of putts during his 6 hole playoff with BROOKSY...it might be beneficial to almost everyone.
Thanks, and keep breathing

TUESDAY RESULTS FROM THE ACTING COMMISH
It was really a beautiful day for golf!
Only 8 played, but they were treated to a delightful 17 holes. (12 was closed. Installing drainage.) And because we didn't have to play 12, 5 of the 8 players will see an increase in their quotas. The team of Clark, Aholt, Moosmann and Kossmann won the front comfortably ... +5 to -1 over the team of Hall, Coleman, Voss and Dister. However, the also-rans on the front chalked up a tidy little +6 to +2 on the back. That means that team Clark won total +7 to +5. Individually, Terry wins the star of the day. He won the front and total at +3, +5 and tied the back at +2 with Hall and Aholt. A 4-way tie for second on the front by Voss, Coleman, Clark and Aholt won them each a quarter. Lots of smirking, but the Commish feels if you win it ... you get it. Dister won the back at +4 and came in 2nd total at the same number.
Dister +1 to 30. Aholt +1 to 30. Hall +1 to 32. Moosmann +1 to 27. Clark +1 to 34.

IT WAS A TALE OF TWO TEAMS
Reporting in from Boulder Junction (no...not Petticoat Junction) Wisconsin, with temperatures in the mid 70's......It was almost Goldlilocks golf yesterday, as one team was too hot...and the other team was too cold. Dave Aholt swept the individual with a nice little 70...+5, +3, +8. His team of Bob, Tim, and Terry also swept the team game..+8, +1, +9. The other Dave, D took second on the front +3, with Terry being 2nd on the back +1, and tying 2nd total with the acting commish, +2. I'm hoping to play a little golf myself the next few days and catch a few fish...maybe the ellusive Muskie!! Stay Cool.
Aholt +1 to 30. Hall -1 to 31. Moosmann +1 to 26.

FROM THE MOUTH OF THE ACTING COMMISH
THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN
Mike Clark's natural 68 (+2, +4, +6) leads his team of Dunlavy and Dister to a clean sweep (+3, +3, +6) with the only positive team scores of the day. Individually, Dister takes the front at +3, Clark is second at +2 and Coleman, Sharma and Aholt tie for third at Even. Clark's +4 on the back (a natural 33) easily wins first with Dunlavy and Hall tied at 2nd and 3rd at +1. Clark wins total and Dister finishes 2nd at +1. Hall and Coleman tie for third at even. By the way, Hall eagles the 18th to get to even on the back and I'm here to tell you the pin placement on that hole was as close to a joke as we've seen all year. All the way back left. Hall's ball trickled into the hole, but if it had missed, it would've gone off the green and down the hill.
Leroy Eggert drops 1 to 30. The only change of the day.

BILL HALL.....ONCE AGAIN LEADS HIS TEAM TO A COMPLETE SWEEP
It was one of the most impressive team performances of the year...Bill Hall, Charlie's Voss and Johnson each played well as their team swept the front, +8, back +8, and total +16. Each teams total score was positive for the day. Tuesday saw 8 of 10 Old Timers post positive results. Bill continues his stellar play winning all three ways with +5, +4, +9 for a 40 point day which equates to a smooth 67. Well done. Bob +4, 2nd on the front (32 by the way). Dave D had another solid day taking 3rd on the front, +3, 2nd back and total, +3, +6. Mac +3 tied 2nd on the back. Charlie J with +4 takes 3rd total.
Bill Hall +1 to 32. Mac Miller +1 to 25.

ANOTHER GUEST APPEARANCE FROM THE ACTING COMMISH
BARKIES ABOUND!!!
The golf course sounded like a shooting range! The crack, crack, crack of ball after ball hitting tree after tree continually rang out. There were 9 players today. On the 15th hole alone, my three-player team team hit 5 trees and accumulated a grand total of -1 points. This reporter witnessed Tom Dunalvy hitting three, separate trees ... and a bush .... with his tee ball on #18!!! As my team was moving down the 16th fairway, a twosome of young men (not affiliated with The Oldtimers) both hit a tree with their tee balls on #15. Not possible you say? I saw it with my own eyes. Matching toe shots from the blue tee!!! The way my team was playing ... and the tortoise-like pace-of-play ... something had to keep me involved other than the hideousness of my own golf. The team of C. Voss, Sharma and Dunlavy won the front at +2 and tied the total at -5. They tied with the team of Hall, Moosmann and Dennis Kossmann (welcome back, Dennis) who also took the back at -2. Dunlavy won the Front Individual with the best nine holes of any player ... +2. Second and third were split at even by Voss, Sharma and Kossmann. Bill Hall won the back with the only other plus score of the day .... +1 ... and Voss, Eichelberger and Kossmann split 2nd and third with -1. Hall wins total at Even and Voss, Dunlavy and Kossmann split 2nd and third at -1. Harrison and Dister leave the field ... penniless!! No changes in any quota.

THE LATEST COMMENTARY FROM THE ACTING COMMISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WILD BILL HALL BLISTERS THE 11-MAN-FIELD ON A SCORCHER OF A DAY.
Bill's 1-under, 1-under 69 translated into a +4, +4, +8 day. He easily won all three legs of the individual and dragged his teammates, Voss and Eichelberger ... kicking and screaming ... over the finish line to win the back nine at +1. The steady play of Harrison, Moosmann, Eggert and Dister took the front at +6 and total at +5. Denny Harrison was the lone standout on the back for that team at +3 giving him 2nd on the back and 2nd on total at +5. He and partner Leroy split 2nd and third on the front at +2, Tom Dunlavy took third on the back at +1. And Clark, Eggert and Dister split 3rd on total. Aholt drops 1 to 29. Hall goes +1 to 31. Harrison also jumps up 1 to 25. Eggert gains a point to 31. Purschke loses 1 to 22.

SATURDAY AS VIEWED FROM THE EYES OF THE ACTING COMMISH
Without further ado I bring you the Acting Commish................................................................................................
IT WAS A RAY KINDA DAY ... (With a big dash of Tim thrown in!)
Does anybody but me remember a ridiculous TV game show from decades ago called The Gong Show? Chuck Barris was the contentious host, and one of his competing regulars was a comedian who wore a paper bag over his head while he was doing his act. His name? The Unknown Comic! Well imagine Hall, Harrison, Moosmann and Dister with bags over their heads today. The Unknown Oldtimers! The team of Sharma, Morris, Dunlavy and Purschke swept the day, leaving the Unknowns licking their wounds ... +9, even and +9. Individually, Tim's +7 was good enough to take the front with Ray's +5 coming in second. On the back, Ray threw Dave D. a little crumb and allowed a +2 tie for first and second. That gave Ray an easy total at +7 ... a natural 1-under round ... and he didn't even stick around to pick up the spoils, leaving that task to Grampa Tom. Ray goes +1 to 31 and Tim goes +1 to 24.

THURSDAY'S LARGE GROUP PROVIDES SOME EXCELLENT RESULTS
14 Old Timers took part in yesterdays play providing some stellar numbers. Tom +5, drug his team of Charlie's J +3, and V +3, along with Mike +4 to substantial victories on the back +15!! and total +13. Dennis carried Bill and Tim to a win on the front +4.
