Spring Comes Early

Opening Day March 17 2012

As the last piles of snow are melting off the fairways and the frost heaves in the greens are subsiding, Pot Gamers are taking their clubs out of the closets and basements and placing them in the trunks of their cars in anticipation of Opening Day at Bretwood.  The record of earliest opening was March 17th 2012.  But the record will stand as the direct hotline from the "Big House" just rang at The Chuckster's house announcing his winter vacation is over and he is to report behind the counter Sat morning March 21st for opening day. 

Pot Games will take on a different look this spring given Covid-19.  All senior citizens (which is 85% of group) may have to self quarantine or at the very least keep social distance from the younger Pot Gamers.  Plus we can't have more than 10 (as per our President) play in the Pot Game.  If that wasn't bad enough when you finish and head to the deck, there will be no beers to buy or food to eat as all restaurants and bars in NH are closed as per our Governor.  Captains should bring hand sanitizer with them to use after they post scores in the pro shop computer.

The Commish will be deciding who gets to play as one of the 10 and who gets rejected.  So email your request to play along with a certificate from your doctor that you are virus free before Friday.  If you made the cut he will send you an invitation.  If you don't hear back you are on his shit list.  Commish said House need not apply.

A dozen or more (right handed) Pot Gamers got in practice this winter by playing alternating shot Pot Games at BB's man cave in Westmoreland.  Many tried but only one player mastered the game..Jonas.  It didn't matter who he drew for partner he was able to guide that person to victory time and time again, to the frustration of the host BB.  He won so much money The Big House found out and offered him the chance to invest his money in Bretwood stock.

Several Pot Gamers are coming off IR heading into golf season.  Mad Dog had hip surgery, Joey M knee replacement,  Billy D aka The Fixer hand surgery, Otis 2nd heart attack,  Birdie 'Trump Derangement Syndrome" and Jimmy was forced to go to Gamblers Anonymous meetings by his wife (it didn't work).  All hope to recover in time to play.

Given that seniors need to stay away (social distancing) from younger golfers Bear's return to blue tees this season will have to wait for safer times..  So he will remain a White Tee Slut.  Oh well...
