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.
