Eleven Pot Gamers drove through the fog on Saturday to play some golf before the storm of the century moved in this coming week. With an odd number of players they struggled to make fair teams. Mad Dog would make 12 but he said he couldn't play because he had too much to do. But with a little cajoling he decided to join in. But he insisted he was a C player with his self appointed 8 handicap because of impaired vision.
Team # 1 Captained by Triple N included Birdie, Joey M and Skooger. Team # 2 Captained by Bear included with Dougie, Billy D and Fireman. Team #3 Captained by Tractorman included Skrocki, Mad Dog and Chimney was without a doubt the dream team to watch out for.
On the front nine Triple N's team edged out Bear's team by one +6 to +7 (3BB) with Tractorman way back at + 13. But the back nine was a different story. Bear's team faded away with +11 but Tractorman's team roared back with a +3 to edge out Triple N's +5. So Triple N's team got 2 sides and Tractorman's team got 1. Bear's team got a $20 beer.
Low scores of the day were Triple N 74, Mad Dog 76, Joey M 77 and Dougie 79. There were 7 skins worth $8 a piece (Joey M 2, Tractorman 1, Bear 1, Birdie 1, Billy D 1 and Dougie 1)
For the last several weeks Bear has been ridiculed for continuing to play Mad Dog in their Dollar A Hole match because of his impaired vision. But Saturday Mad Dog clipped Bear for $4 which made the YTD total Mad Dog up $10. So either there was a miraculous recovery of Mad Dog's vision or he has adapted to not seeing the right side of the golf ball. Deacon upon hearing the news has already submitted Mad Dog's vision recovery to Catholic Church for an official "Miracle".
Deacon was a no show on Saturday after getting a nose bleed so bad he had to go to the Emergency room to have it stopped. He will be back playing when he can figure out how to breath with his nose packed full of cotton and still be able to smoke.

Best Scoring Ever
With plenty of Pot Gamers in shorts and temps in the mid 50s it was ideal conditions for scoring. Sandy figured out his GHIN index was higher than Bear's so he got first pick on the tee and within a nano second picked Walt the supreme "White Tee Slut" as his first pick. Bear picked Skrocki and Billy D and Fireman was snapped up by Sandy. So as both teams met on the 9th and 10th fairways, Sandy signaled his team was -1 (2BB) on the front which depressed Bear's team as they were only +1 playing the ninth. So thinking they were two down Bear's team pressed even harder on the back. Mad Dog, who was trying to find his game had joined up with Bear's group on the 2nd hole got a signal from Fireman that they were really +4 on the front from the 12th fairway. So when Mad Dog reported to Bear's team that they had been lied to it inspired them even more. Both teams played the back nine at +1. Which resulted in Bear's team winning $10 for 2.5 sides of the Pot.
The low scores were almost all the scores as 5 of the 6 players were in the 70s. Sandy 75, Skrocki 76, Billy D 76, Bear 77 and Walt 77. Fireman threw in a very nice 83 considering he was chasing Bullwinkle's wife for 6 days just south of the Canadian border. Even Mad Dog got it around in only a couple over on the back
At least Billy D and Skrocki didn't go all "Jim DePalo" on Bear since they both beat him and both made all the team birdies.

How Cold Was It Really?

| Tropical Billy and Nanook Of The North By Pudge Pics |
Three teams were picked on the first tee of the North Course. Team #1 Captain Pudge, Billy D and Commish. Team #2 Captain Bear, Skrocki and Skooger. Team #3 Captain Sandy, Mad Dog (he declared himself a 8 handicap B man) and Birdie (The Great White Hunter). Team #3 looked very strong and their play on the front proved they were as they bested the field by 4 shots in 2BB with a score of +1. However on the back Bear's team found their game and shot +1 which beat Pudge's team by one and Sandy's team by 4. Which meant Team #2 and #3 split the pot with 1.5 sides each.
The low scores of the day were Sandy 74, Bear 76 and Pudge 78. Everyone else was in the 80s. Bear prevailed against Mad Dog in their auto dog match for $7 which means the YTD total is down to $6 in Mad Dog's favor.
Nanook did warm up enough to peal off a layer of clothing which he left on one of the tee-boxes for Mad Dog to throw in his cart so he didn't have to carry it around. Skooger made a birdie for the first time in about 20 rounds but still barely broke 90. Billy D is back to drawing the ball after a in-round lesson by Pudge. The Great White Hunter was still riding high after his take down of Bullwinkle on Monday. Captain America announced to all groups from his tractor with flags flying that he has made up his mind to vote Obama because he likes his motto of "Forward". Huh...

It's Billy D's Fault
Bear received his first ever X and it wasn't even by the little weenie Commish, but from all the Pot Gamers on the deck on Sunday. Billy D having made a luncheon date with is daughter and son needed to leave the deck early so he handed the pot over to Bear to distribute. The Pot was short by $40. Then Bear remembered he forgot to collect from Pete. But it was still short. Then he reached in his pocket and found Deacon's money which he had failed to place in the Pot. Immediately arms were raised in the form of an X and the chant of "Give Him An X" rang out from the deck. Billy D should have known better than to give the Pot to someone who couldn't handle it. A very Cheez like moment.
Sunday started out rather cool at only 40 degrees at tee time. Nine players were broken into 3 teams playing 2BB on the North Course. Mad Dog made some strong teams and it was too close to call as to who was stronger. Team #1 was captained by Mad Dog with Joey M as his B and Billy D as his C. Team #2 was Captained by Tractorman or Tomahawkman with Skrocki as his B and Rama as his C. Team #3 was Captained by Bear with Bow Pete as B and Mr Money himself Deacon as C. Bear's team raced out to a big lead with a score of +2 to Mad Dog's +7 and Tractorman's +8. On the back Tractorman came in with a +6 to edge out Bear's and Mad Dog's team score of +7. Bear's team did take the overall with a +9.
There were 4 skins worth $11 a piece. Bear 2, Joey M 1 and Bow Pete 1. Low scores of the day were Bear 73, Tractorman 79 and Joey M 82. Everyone else shot in the 80s with two exceptions in the 90s. Deacon won 2/3 of the Pot keeping his Chimney like streak of cashing intact for another week.
Mad Dog came out of his self imposed retirement from golf to play one last time which meant an automatic match of cards with Bear. Bear prevailed by $11 (Mad Dog could only produce $8 from his pocket) bringing the YTD total to Mad Dog up $13. It seems that the "flick at the bottom" technique doesn't work if you lose some peripheral vision. Who knew.

Breaking News: Bullwinkle Dead
Birdie called the Gazette a few minutes after 9am this morning to report he shot his moose weighing in over 700 lbs with 9 points. His Sherpa TJ was at his side for the last three days as they traversed swamps and woods mile after mile. It took three days of hunting to bag their big boy but it also took a toll on the lucky lottery winner Birdie as his knees were aching as was his neck from sleeping in a chair. However Birdie now knows every golf score TJ shot for the entire summer as well as where all his longest drives came on which holes, that's really what wore him down.
They had an official photographer with them to capture the moment. TJ told the Gazette, Birdie spotted Bullwinkle and took him down with one shot in a logged off area. Birdie brought along some "twine" to haul away his moose.
Looks more like clothes line than hauling rope. We have no idea how they are going to get Bullwinkle out of the woods and to the check-in station. But if they make it back to civilization it looks like moose meat for all Pot Gamers... Congratulations to Birdie and TJ

He Wins Again
Deacon has been raking in the money every Pot Game he plays despite what he shoots, which usually around 85. Today was no exception.
With fog enveloping the entire course 10 players showed up to play a little 3BB on the North course. Two teams of five were created by Mad Dog. Although it looked very evenly matched on the first tee it was not on the course with the Deacon winning aura in full bloom. Bear's team of Skrocki, Bow Pete, Deacon and Skooger vs Sandy, Tractorman, Dougie, Billy D and Rama.
Bear's team won the front +3 to +8 and the back +1 to +7. There were 7 skins worth $7 a piece. Sandy 3, Bear 1, Tractorman 1, Skrocki 1 and Bow Pete 1.
Low scores were Sandy 72, Skrocki 76, Bear 77 and Bow Pete 78. Everyone else shot in the 80s.
There were only a few Pot Gamers who dressed appropriately in shorts for the 70 degree weather (Sandy & Skrocki). Everyone else was very uncomfortable in long pants. Bow Pete got new shoes with no cleats just nubbles on the bottom. Which when he stepped in your line on the greens which he did often left a waffle iron pattern in the soft turf. Try putting on waffles sometime. Yikes more like the Cheez everyday.

Six Was Enough
Last Wednesday six Pot Gamers showed up for battle. Bear's team of Billy D and Skooger took on Sandy's team of Skrocki and Blue Tees.
Bear's team by a single shot took the front on the North +7 to +8 (2BB). But the back was another story as Sandy whipped his team to victory with a +1 to finish off Bear's team by 4. So Sandy's team took a whole $5 home.
Billy D was playing great on the front using a thermo wrap on his cranky back, but it was not enough to keep it loose on the back nine. So as each swing became more painful, Skooger had to step his game to save their team but he couldn't handle the pressure. Meanwhile all of Sandy's team was shooting 39 or better on the back nine.
Low scores were Sandy 76 and Bear 76. Everyone else was in the 80s.

Frost Delay
Because it is the Pot Game way, the dream team came out on the short end. Bear's team shot +2 on the front to open a 5 shot lead as Mad Dog's team struggled to a +7 score. On the back things started to unravel for Bear's team and they were caught and passed by Mad Dog's +4 to +7. So Bear's team ended up with 2/3 on the Pot.
The chilly conditions didn't produce low scores as only one player broke 80. Low scores were Bear 74, Billy D 81 and Mad Dog 81. Everyone who birdied a hole got a skin. Skins were worth $4 a piece (Bear 3, Skrocki 2, Deacon 1 and Tractorman 1)
Bear took $8 from Mad Dog making their match YTD in favor of Mad Dog $24.

Rumor Roundup
You guessed it, after only two weeks back at the Villages, Cheez has been kicked out of another group already. The Eight Eighties revoked their invitation to him. They play from the Senior tees which are in front of the ladies tees. We have learned that in the two times Cheez played he has not been able to break 80 even once from the Sr tees. "We have standards and Mr Sandstrum has not been able to meet those. So we had to let him go," said the Eight Eighties Commissioner. Ouch...
Commish has opened an investigation as to how Deacon who consistently shoots in the 80s continues to win pot money and skins every weekend. "He is up to something and I plan to get to the bottom of it," Commish said. Deacon refused to be interviewed for this story. The Gazette thinks the answer lies in his "Man Purse". More on this later.
Mrs Commish has been online shopping at the Ice Cube No More Store, specializing in Arctic men's wear. She bought Commish electric boxer shorts to keep his boys warm during the cold fall playing conditions he is always complaining to her about. We hope there won't be any short circuits.
Pudge has announced that the 2012 Nine At Nine on Thanksgiving morning is a go. When Blue Tees found out he immediately went to the liquor store to resupply his Bailey's Irish Cream for his special concoction offered up in the parking lot. Even if frost prevents playing that day, it is always a good time see fellow Pot Gamers on Turkey Day. Come over for a libation at least.
When you walk by Fireman's Forest on the first hole on the North course you will notice the dedication plaque already has a few dents in it. Mad Dog has narrowed the suspects who may have caused the dents down to Fireman, Chimney and the duck hooking TJ. We think they are all guilty.
Tractorman has been frustrated with his game lately and has been taking it out on his equipment. Last week he tomahawked his 5 iron so deep in the turf he had to go get Big Blue to pull it out of the ground. His wife decided his talent shouldn't go untapped and has signed him up for real tomahawk throwing competitions this winter. He could be a big winner if he could use golf clubs instead.
Dougie after looking at the temporary shelter Bretwood built for Chelso last winter to practice in has donated his architectural skills to design a post & beam state of the art practice barn. It will have remote controlled barn doors, solar heat, real grass mats and a gym for Chelso's work outs. It is so large that starting in 2013 there will no longer be any room for members to practice. Are you kidding me.
Rama had to go see the doctor recently because he thought he blew out his ear drum. It seems after a bad shot he has been trying to hold back from filling the air with his favorite expressions like "Swahili Cock Boxer" or "Sons of Beetches". Holding back has built up tremendous pressure behind his ears causing him to think his ear drums had been damaged. The doctor told him not to hold back, to let go with every obscenity he can think of as a way to relive the pressure. So prepare yourselves for more Ramaisums filling the air soon.
Mini claims he hasn't been playing at all because he has been so busy landscaping. Yet he has been shooting low scores. So the Gazette placed a hidden camera (borrowed from Birdie's Moose Cam collection) on the 40mobile to see if he was telling the truth or not. What we found was he and 40 playing 6 to 9 holes every evening when no one was around. Caught in the act. The Gazette wishes to thank the anonymous tipster who turned us on to this information who goes by the alias Captain America.
With rumors swirling that Mad Dog is really going to retire this time, we interviewed Chuckie as to what if any plans he had for the Pro Shop upon Mad Dog's retirement. He pulled out from under the counter a set of plans for the renovation of the lower level of the Bretwood Club House. The plans revealed a new members lounge (men only) with leather couches, LCD 70" TV and private bar to be staffed with Keene State coeds. It doesn't stop there as there will be a locker room (men only) with free shoe shines and mahogany lockers with brass name plates. Can't wait for Chuckie to take over.

Chilly Road Show
Pudge, as NHPGA Tournament Chairman, arranged for the third year in a row a Pro Am at the very prestigious Bald Peak Golf Colony in Melvin Village, NH. http://www.baldpeak.org/
It is a Donald Ross classic design which opened in 1921. It overlooks Lake Winnipesaukee so the views are spectacular . Course conditions could not have been better with tees that looked better than Bretwood's greens and greens that were fast with false fronts and mounds that looked like elephants were buried under them. A real gem.
Pudge has a long list of players who expressed interest in getting to play Bald Peak, so he has a tough choice as to who to piss off every year. This year the lucky players were Commish, Billy D and Bear.
Knowing they had to be there by 10am for the shotgun start, the boys decided to stop for breakfast at the infamous Tilton Diner. Commish froze his ass off just having a smoke outside the diner, so he was already getting nervous about how cold it was going to be on the course. They didn't even make it 10 miles before someone had to stop for a piss (too much coffee) and his name rhymes with hat.

The club house is Bretwood like but 300 times bigger and a little more luxurious. You also have to remove your hat when you enter as Billy D found out when Frank the NHPGA director mentioned it to him.
After Billy D spotted Commish with a new Bald Peak hat, (his first of the year since he couldn't win one off Birdie), he decided he wanted one too. So into the Pro Shop he went. He found one he liked but the clerk told him it had a magnet on the bill which is ugly. "Was he sure that is one he wanted?", she asked. He replied yes, he will remove it later. She told him it would not come off, but he thought she was crazy. He could get it off later. (it doesn't come off) Correction as of Friday Billy D removed ugly magnet.
On the way out, Billy D asked again since all the carts where gone was there any possibility of switching carts. The Pro told him they may have one and if they did, they would bring it out to hole 4 where they were going to start. Bear was laughing at him because the look on the face of the Pro suggested it was never going to happen. But Billy D persistence paid off as just after they teed off a cart with windshield and canopy was delivered equipped with a rear view and side mirror as well. The group behind them was very jealous as they had the open air variety as well.
They played well but not well enough because they missed the money by one stroke with a score of -7. The fairways were very generous but the rough was long and thick even around the greens. The greens running at a 10 were tough to navigate. So if you were lucky enough to get on the green in regulation, your work was just beginning. If few more putts dropped, they were right there for a pay day.
They didn't seem to mind not winning or cashing as they were treated to a huge spread of food from salads, hamburgers all the way to ice cream and cookies. The best part was $2 drafts.
Yes, of course they had to piss on the way home, after all, those were $2 drafts.
Weekend Roundup On Thursday
Saturday on the North course 16 players showed up despite the cool temperatures and the threat of showers. Even the Commish with poor circulation in his fingers made an appearance. It was one of the most talented groups as well.
Team #1 Captained by Triple N with Little Bow Pete, 40 and Chimney appeared to be ones to beat, until everyone got a look at Team #2. Which was Captained by Mini with Tractorman, Dougie and Billy M, wow what a powerhouse. Then along comes team #3 Captained by Pudge with Bear playing out of the B slot, Deacon and Skooger, pretty good team as well. But the real dream team emerged at the end when Captain Mad Dog called out his team of Sandy, Birdie and Commish. Yikes, how could they miss winning it all.
Well when the smoke cleared, Pudge's team won the front with a 3BB score of even par and followed it up with +2 on the back to win 2.5 sides of the pot. Mad Dog's team with a furious closing score of -3 on the 17th hole, also shot +2 on the back to get a pocketful of change with a half point.
There were 6 skins worth $13 a piece (Pudge 2, Mini 1, Deacon 1, Triple N 1 and Sandy (eagle 17) 1). Low scores of the day Bear 72, Mini 73, Pudge 76, Sandy 78 and 40 78. Bear pocketed $7 from Mad Dog making their YTD total in favor of Mad Dog by $32.
Sunday had a real nip in the air as the temperatures dipped into the low 40s at tee off. A few weenies (Commish) stayed away but 9 did show up to play the South course. All the teams seemed to be evenly matched and on the front that was the case as only one stroke separated all the teams. Team #2 Mini, TJ and Deacon shot +4 to tie Team #3 Sandy, Skrocki and Dougie. Team#1 Bear, 40 and Rama were left out in the cold at +5. Mini's team took command on the back to shoot -2 (2BB) and take 2.5 sides.
There were 5 skins worth $9 a piece (Sandy 1, Mini 2 and Skrocki 2). Low scores were Mini 72, 40 76, Sandy 76, Bear 77 and TJ 77. In all 6 player broke 80, 2 were in the 80s and one poor soul shot in the 90s (although he kept the score so not sure if it was accurate or not).

Top Fives
With over 35 Pot Gamers playing at various times through out the Summer, there are categories that certain players fit into. Here are the top five in various catergories.
Most Oblivious To Their Surrounding Or Partners
1. Red Dunn- Drives his cart to his ball even if it blocks his partners approach shot to green and constantly walks through putting lines of others
2. Little Bow Pete- makes a habit of walking through partners putting lines on the greens
3. House- Tries to drive every hole ignoring Captains advise and definitely dances in partners lines on the green.
4. Cabot- Always tries to putt out even if it means walking in everybody's line.
5. Cheez- Thinks getting a pin is beneath him and after he misses a putt tends to mumble while others are putting.
Most Likely To Recount Every Shot After His Round
1. TJ- with emphasis on how far it went.
2. Cheez- mostly the misses or near misses
3. Mad Dog- lots of missed putt talk
4. Penguin- from missed drives to missed putts
5. Bear- all about the ones that didn't fall forgetting about the ones that did
Most Likely To Roll His Eyes
1. Commish- usually followed by caustic remark
2. Pudge- after someone says something stupid on the deck
3. Murt- doesn't really need a reason
4. Dickie Mack- hates everything
5. Deacon- when any of his mortal enemies talk (that's everyone except Joey M)
Most Likely Makes You Close Your Eyes When They Putt 4 Footers
1. Red Dunn- Too much rolling hands back and forth
2. Chuckie- perfect practice swing every time
3. Cabot- hooks a lot
4. Rama Yama- lots of body torque
5. Deacon- been known to miss and keep walking to his truck
Most Likely To Find Fairway With Drive
1. Dougie- Straight is his only ball flight
2. Penquin- very low worm burners
3. Triple N- hover look bad but works
4. Sandy- high towering shots
5. Birdie- stinger when he needs it
Most Oblivious To Their Surrounding Or Partners
1. Red Dunn- Drives his cart to his ball even if it blocks his partners approach shot to green and constantly walks through putting lines of others
2. Little Bow Pete- makes a habit of walking through partners putting lines on the greens
3. House- Tries to drive every hole ignoring Captains advise and definitely dances in partners lines on the green.

Sunday Sinners
12 non-church goers showed up for battle under gray skies to play a little 3 BB on the North course. Captain Mini with Dougie, Billy D and Mark cruised to a front nine +4, which blew away the field by 3 and 5 strokes. The back nine however belonged to the team of Skrocki, Bear, Red Dunn and Rama who shot +3. Although they struggled on the back with a +7, Mini's team edged out Skrocki's team for total by one. Meanwhile Tractorman's team of TJ, Deacon and Hilow struggled to a +21 total which netted them a $20 beer.
There were 5 skins (Mini 2, Bear 2 and Skrocki 1) worth $12 a piece. Low scores of the day were Mini 71, Bear 72 and Skrocki 77.
Highlights included a 6 birdie round by Bear and a 5 birdie round by Mini. Solid rounds by Tractorman 78 and Billy D 79. Each team had a player shoot in the 90s as the bumpy greens took their toll on scoring.
