As a light mist fell 10 Pot Gamers teed it up on the South course without any Villagers moaning or groaning about the teams. They played quota because of the two threesomes and one foursome format. Using the 39 point system the team of Tractorman, Birdie, Skooger and Chimney tied the team of Bear, TJ and Deacon at -2 for the front. Bear's team then matched that score on the back but so didn't the team of Sandy, Billy D and Commish. The -4 score by Bear's team was good enough to take the total.
There were 4 skins worth $12 a piece (Tractorman 2, TJ 1 and Roy Boy Birdie 1). Low scores of the day were Bear 72, Tractorman 75 and Sandy 78. They were also the only ones who broke 80.
Highlights included Tractorman making 5 birdies, Bear making 4 and TJ making eagle on 10. The Oracle of Bretwood predicted the over/under for Commish at 81 he went under with 80 and Deacon at 85, he also went under with 84.
Tee times have moved to 8am for weekends and weekdays.

Ice Man Doesn't Cometh
Despite the gray overcast misty morning Wednesday, 8 Pot Gamers drove in from as far away as 45 minutes out to say goodbye to Cheez on his last day at Bretwood. But Cheez despite telling everyone he would show up, took a peek out of his window in W. Chesterfield saw a few rain drops and decided to blow off his friends for a little more shut eye. The Pot Gamers knowing Cheez would never not show up waited patiently past 8am for him. Once 8:15 came it became clear Cheez had iced his friends. So next summer he will need to write to the Commish to ask for forgiveness in order to play in the Pot Game. Nobody likes an Ice Man.

Really Stale News
Last Wednesday with 10 players braving cool temperatures they played 5 against 5 on the North Course. The team of Walt, Bear, Chuckie, Billy D and Blue Tees blitzed the team of Skrocki, Bagger Pete, Cheez, Skooger and Fireman with a score of -4 (3 BB) on the front and followed it up with a +2 on the back and -2 total. Bear shot 32 on the front, but two 3 putts on the back kept him from a career round and had to settle for a 69. GHIN computer refused to allow the score to be posted as it was way below his normal scores.
Cheez purged from his Sticks group in the Villages just got word that he has been invited to play in another group called Eight Eighties. Cheez thinks it means they all shoot in the 80s, but it really means that they are all in their 80s. At least he will be the "long knocker" in that group.
Tractorman made an appointment with an Investment Councilor recently to get advice as to how to invest all his winnings from the Pot Game. He thinks his great play this summer has moved his retirement up by at least 4 years.
40 has been silent on whether his October tournament is on or off. Deacon refuses to play because he thinks it is too close to the format of his Invitational. I think he is calling it 40 & Friends. He bought the rights to that name from Tractorman who never used it.
Commish still in a rut shooting in the mid 80s. Mrs Commish shared with the Gazette his ego was crushed this summer when Birdie whipped him not once but twice. She said she has to kick him out of the house to play because he has lost his desire. It is so bad that he lets the Alpacas out of their pen so he can chase them around the neighborhood, just for something to keep his mind off golf.
Fireman has really immersed himself into Moose hunting mode. Besides scouting his territory for Moose scat he has put himself on a diet of leaves, aquatic plants and berries and scratches his ass against big pine trees. Wow that is a bad case of Moose fever.
Billy D's scores are going lower since he dumped the cut for the little draw. Our investigation however uncovered another reason for his good play. Gretchen has been giving him nightly massages always with "happy endings", which has him loose and flexible.

Update On Mad Dog
As most if not all of you know, Mad Dog had a mild stroke last week which has left him with a partial loss of vision. He is now home with no limitations except that he can't drive. According to Laura there is no known reason for this to have happened because he is in good shape, so he has the Doctors puzzled. We are all pulling for him to have a full recovery in a short time frame.

Pearls Of Wisdom And Other Shit
Tractorman continues to rake in the Pots with 4.5 sides out of 6 this past weekend. Followed by Chimney's 4 sides.
Cheez plays in a group at the Villages called "The Sticks". Before he left for NH this past spring he was struggling with his game while playing in the "Sticks" tournaments. He just received an email the other day from the "Stick's Commish" which read:
Dear Phil,
As you know the Sticks pride themselves on having top quality golfers in our group who can maintain handicaps under 4. It has come to our attention by tracking GHIN that your play this summer in NH has fallen below our standards for maintaining your membership in our group. We therefore regret to inform you that you have been placed on super secret probation and will not be allowed to rejoin until such time that you can keep your handicap below 4 for at least a month.
Sincerely,
Head Stick
Little Bow Pete did a little handicap adjusting on Saturday after he shot 73 on Friday, he threw in an 80 on Saturday which cost Bear and Billy D. He then followed up with a 76 on Sunday. The moral is don't get him on your team after he shoots a low score the day before as he needs to maintain his "bagger" status.
Start time for Pot Game will be 7:30 am this weekend and Mid Week will be 8am this week.
Deacon swore that he will never again be a nice guy and mark one of his teammate's ball on the green. He said he counted up the other day and estimated he has lost $5 dollars in quarters, when the person he marked the ball for deposits the quarter in their pocket instead of tossing it back to him. When pressed about who in particular he was talking about he said the person's name who was the biggest offender rhymed with "sneeze".
40 wants to know if Pot Gamers would like to play a 4 ball tournament in late October on a Saturday. He would appoint captains to pick teams and do the pairings. He is estimating about $50 a man for prizes. If there is enough interest he will start the planning. Let him know.
On October 1st, Bretwood will be holding a ceremony along the right side of the 1st fairway on the North Course to name and dedicate the pine trees as "Fireman Forest". "After years of launching his drives into those pines, we felt it would be only fitting to honor Fireman with a plaque and naming the trees in his honor," Mad Dog said.
Don't you love skins, Sandy and TJ both eagle 10 south get nothing, Chimney birdies 1 south and gets a skin.
Billy D is starting to think about skiing as the leaves are falling off the trees. He recently sent Gretchen out to Colorado to check out the early snow conditions. She emailed him back this photo.

Breaking 80 Hard To Do
Saturday was a tropical 70 degrees at 7am, with lots of wind but 15 Pot Gamers woke up in the dark to try to win the "Pot". All the teams were close on the front at +4 or higher except Tractorman's team of TJ and Chimney which shot +2 (2 BB). On the back they decided to go lower with a -2 which was 2 shots clear of the next team. So the entire pot was theirs. They did have to collect all the drinks and distribute them but with pockets full of money they didn't seem to mind.
There were 6 skins worth $12 a piece by Mad Dog, TJ, Chimney, 40, House and Billy D. Two were "Roy Boy" skins, the only birdie they made all day. Low scores of the day were Mad Dog 75, Bear 76, Tractorman 77, Birdie 77 and Cheez 79. Each group had only one person who broke 80. Mad Dog fought off headache, backache, fever, sweats, missed putts, blurry vision and bad knees to win $2 from the Bear with a birdie on 18. YTD Mad Dog up $39
Sunday brought out 16 players to play a little golf before the opening day kickoff of the NFL. The team of Captain Cheez, Dougie, Commish and Fireman tied the team Captained by Tractorman consisting of Little Bow Pete, Billy D and Rama with a score of +4 in the 123 format. The team of Bear, Jed, Deacon and Chimney blitzed the back with a -2 which earned them 1/3 of the Pot. Tractorman's team stumbled a bit on the back with a +1 but it was one shot ahead of Bear's team at +5 for the total.
There were 6 skins worth $13 a piece by Jed, Rama, TJ, Little Bow Pete, Chimney and Skrocki. Low scores were Little "Bagger" Pete 76, Bear 77 and Skrocki 79. They were the only scores under 80.

Where Is Everyone?
Despite it being a holiday only 12 hardcore Pot Gamers showed up under cloudy skies for 3 BB on the South course. Mad Dog thought he had created a Dream Team when he assembled Triple N, Little Bow Pete, Billy D and Fireman. After the first five holes it looked they were running away with it at -4, but golf being golf they fell to earth and shot +2 to lose by one. Otis's team of Bear (Pot Games newest B player), Chimney and Skooger thought they were way behind as Billy D kept flashing his 4 fingers downward as they walked past each other, plodded along at +1 on the front only to find out that was good enough. Meanwhile Skrocki's team Tractorman, Deacon and Rama got off to a slow start with +7. As Triple N's team unable to recover from their front side implosion faded on the back to +6. Otis's team giddy with their good fortune roared out the gate on the back nine to get to -3 and were still - 1 playing the 18th, when they imploded as well with +5 on the last hole. Their +4 wasn't good enough for the back as Skrocki's team coming into 18 at +3, made three pars and grabbed the back by one.
Low scores of the day were Otis 70, Tractorman 75, Triple N 75 and Bear 76. They were the only ones who broke 80. There were only 3 skins worth $20 a piece. Skrocki 1, Otis 2.
Otis had a little tear in his eye when he posted his score in the computer because he knows that 70 will be in his lowest 20 scores until 2014, at the rate he posts scores.
Bear out drove Otis on the second fairway by at least 5 yards. Because his ball was on the left side and kicked off a little hill which may have had something to do with it. Lets just say Otis didn't let that happen the rest of the day.
Chimney continues to be the best come back putter in America with his rama jama style. Deacon was with a team that actually waited for him before they teed off today unlike yesterday.
Billy D was rolling along until he caught a case of double bogeyitis on the back nine. Tractorman continued his fine play over the weekend with scores of 74, 76, 75.

Sunday Eleven
Now that September has arrived the Pot Game numbers are slipping. Sunday only had 11 players show up. Mad Dog suggested we play quota but was quickly shot down and the format was 2 BB. Mini with Cheez, Deacon and House shot even par on the front which was good enough for a slice of the pot. But the fast walking Triple N pushed his team of Tractorman and Billy D to a -2 on the back and -1 overall for two sides. They rushed so much they finished 35 minutes ahead of the next group. It took Billy D three Bud Lights and Tractorman three Barcardis to relax and catch their breath. Their Captain hit a large bucket to punish himself for only shooting a 75. Dave (Off The Record) Lanier of Keene Sentinel fame joined the Pot Game for the first time and found out what a "$20 beer" means. He played well but had to drag around Bear, Chimney and Fireman to finish well off the mark.
There were 8 skins worth $7 a piece. Triple N 1, Bear 1, Dave 1, Tractorman 1, Mini 2 and Billy D 2. Low scores of the day were Triple N 75, Tractorman 76 and Dave L 77. House claimed to have shot his career low round of 77, but it turned out his insistence that he made a par on the 8th really belonged to the Deacon. An X is in his future which will put him on ice for the rest of the summer.
Cheez agreed for the first time in 2012 to play the Bear dollar a hole. Both hacked their way around to shot 81 Bear and 83 Cheez. Making it a $2 win for the Bear. Those dollars have already been sent out for framing.

Red, White & Blue Labor Day
Although the Commish had the over/under at 24 Pot Gamers showing up only 21 did for the Labor Day Red, White and Blue (Saturday Edition) Tournament hosted by Pudge. Most but not all were dressed appropriately in patriotic colors. Usually if your captain plays well the team gets inspiration and winning follows, this week was no exception. Pudge shooting 68 obviously inspired Billy D and Hagen who both shot 77 which resulted in them tying the front with -3 (2 BB) and sweeping the back -5 and overall -8. The only team who was able to tie them was Sandy's team of Joey M and Skooger with a -3 on the front. Sandy matched the low round of the day with 68.
There were 4 skins worth $25 a piece (Jay Esh 2, Skrocki 1 and Pudge 1). Low scores beside the 68s were Mad Dog 72, Cheez 72 and Tractorman 74. Bear lost $7 to Mad Dog who had trouble putting the ball into the cup with his flatstick or it would have been a lot worse. Mad Dog up $37 YTD.
If someone hosts a tournament should they really be taking 2.5 sides and a skin, somehow it doesn't seem right..just saying.
Deacon who claims to be Patriotic and politically far right leaning, decided to wear his canary yellow golf shirt created by the renown designer Pierre Sogay. Not exactly something red, white or blue. It did match his earrings though.
Pudge petitioned to Commish to give Xs to Deacon and House for inappropriate attire at his tournament. House shows up in all white with coffee stains down the front of his shirt. Dougie almost joined them with his hot pink shirt, but it was ruled that it was within red spectrum (barely).
Little Bow Pete still in shock from making a hole-in-one, knowing he has no chance of collecting the $600 pool by making another one in 2012.
Blue Tees had three birdies and no pars on back nine which is two more than his captain Bear got all day.
