Gentlemen of the BTC
 July 9, 2026

It was another hot one this week.  Much hotter than anticipated.  We must question the intelligence of our current BTC President (Anthony Serritella) and Vice-President (Lee Kaz).  Those two knuckleheads walked Deer Creek.  At least they had enough sense to drink a glass of water after golf  before further dehydrating with some beer.

A conversation about questionable behavior at Deer Creek this week wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Corey Rob.  On two separate occasions Corey had to play unconventional shots.  I can’t tell if he was fly fishing or golfing.  

 

I can’t wait to see what happens at Old Oak on the 14th.

Wounded warrior update:  Greg Lewis’ recovery from his bypass surgery is progressing at rate that has impressed his Doctor.  He has been able to get out of the house and walk around a little bit.  As well as he is doing, it is still going to take some time.  Greg really appreciates the prayers so please keep up the prayers for a speedy recovery.

July Birthdays:  John Schiera (4), Vince Annel (6), Andrew Benintendi (6), Willie Janda (8), Jim Musser (9), Rob Elliott (10), Andre Dawson (10), Terry Jesk (12), Rich Schroeder (14), Al Baldermann (19), John Gagnon (20), Mike Kampfert (21), Vince Oliva (21), Jeff Dinga (23), Chase Meidroth (23) Dan Raymond (27), Dave Jenner (31)

Let Anthony know if there are any birthdays missing or incorrect.

Old Oak:   Next up, we are headed to Old Oak.  It has been quite a few years since The BTC was at Old Oak.  I know a lot of guys are really looking forward to being back there.  Try their pizza, it’s pretty damn good.  If you want to play at Old Oak, make sure you are on the attached sign-up sheet.  Call the Hotline  (815-242-1597) if you are not currently signed up.

The first round of the Club Championship will be July 21st at Green Garden.  The Club Championship is a free tournament.  All BTC members in good standing are eligible to play.  The rules of the tournament are posted on our website builderstee.com 

There was a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board the last two weeks and it will be on the board again this week at Old Oak.  If you are not able to sign up at the golf course, you can call the hotline to let us know that you want to play in the Club Championship.

This was the first week that the sign-up sheet was on the board for the “In The Square” tournament coming up on July 28th.  We had quite a few guys sign up already.  Hopefully we get plenty more.  Use the following link to see a video with detailed information about the tournament.  If it doesn’t work as a link you can copy and paste it into your browser.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8tI-abz7V8

Quote of the day:   Just because I said I don’t have money, that doesn’t mean that I don’t have casino money.

Confucius Say, “always say yes to a quick 15 minute drink with friends because that hour and a half might turn into the best 6 hours of your life.”.

Your Golf Guys,
