Springtime In The Air

With Opening Day less than two weeks away, The Pot Game already had to make a tee time reservation with the Pro Shop for the 29th.  It is 8am on the "Pool Course".  Don't be late because no frost delay is anticipated.

Our crack investigative reporter has discovered that the course underground heating system was not shut off by "The Big House" to save money but by The Chuckster because he wasn't ready to go back to work seven days a week.  Tractorman reports that it is fully functional now and has the course in great shape for opening day.

Birdie and Fireman may not make the Opener as they have been practicing for the 8th Annual Turkey Calling Contest.  They were only spectators last year but decided to give it a go this year.  They are going to enter as a tandem with Birdie calling all turkeys on the far left and Fireman calling them from the far right.  Wish them luck when you see them.

The Gazette received their Masters press passes last week.  Their editor will be departing on April 9th so he won't be available that weekend to play in the Pot Game.  Anyone who needs Master's gear should contact him with a wishlist including sizes.

2012 St Paddy's Day

Just two years ago, 2012 the first Pot Game was played on St Pats Day.  There were 12 players and temps in the high 20s.  According to Mad Dog it was the earliest opening ever in the long history of Bretwood. 

Cheez found his game last week when he was breaking 80 with a pair of 79s.  He thinks he is clear of the dreaded laterals.  We asked him how he cured himself of the most feared shot in golf.  He told us he found out he hit them because he was shifting his weight too far onto his toes on the downswing.  On the practice range his cure was to tape a golf ball under each of his shoes near the toe so it forces his weight onto his heels.  It worked so well he had custom shoes made with a heel under the toe. He is duck hooking everything but he doesn't care as long as it isn't a lateral.  Only thing now is he can barely walk in them to get back to his cart.

Gretchen the Caddy

Billy D played a few rounds of golf when he was in Florida.  Gretchen had volunteered to caddy and drive his cart while he played.  She bought an outfit especially for the job.
