Gentlemen of the BTC |
May 8, 2025 |
It was
a beautiful
day for our
opening day
of golf.
75 and
sunny, one
of the best
that I can
remember.
Of course,
it didn't do
my golf game
any good as
I hacked it
up as usual.
But my
foursome:
Anthony, Lee
Kaz, Bob
Kennedy and
I had lots
of fun.
Kennedy was
the only one
that golfed
decent even
though we
all hit a
few good
shots.
On one par 3
we all were
within 20
feet but
only two of
use made
par.
Could have
been all the
pops we were
drinking
because
Catherine,
the best
cart girl,
was at our
side every
other hole.
The
pace of play
was pretty
good
considering
we had over
100 golfers
and we got
to eat
early,
around 3:30.
The dinner
was very
good I
thought and
there was a
very good
crowd.
It was good
to see all
the faces
that have
not been
around for a
while and
all the
applicants
that were
there. For
me, it was
great to see
Dave Downey,
Jack Parisi
and Dick
Kerkstra.
And my good
friend Andy
Zilis was
there who
has been
having heart
problems and
is looking
at a
possible
heart
transplant.
Let's hope
for a great
recovery.
Well,
there
weren't a
lot of great
scratch
scores out
there.
Three guys:
Bob
Kennedy,
Scott Lee
and George
Les shot
80, Steve
O shot
84 and
Ron Kogut
an 86.
Applicant
Kevin
Kennedy
shot 84.
There were
some good
handicap
scores with
Derrick
Bay who shot
69, Les
Podlasek 71,
and Arnie
Carlstrom 71.
Jimmy
"I
can't stop
talking"McDermott
shot 72 as
did Matt
Janda, Bob
Long, Jeff
Quilici, and
Jim Van Eck.
Dan Grimes
had a 73.
John Boyle
and Dan
Raymond shot
74.
Last but not
least, Corey
Rob shot
70.
The
Ageless
Wonder Club
did all
right.
Jack Heatter
shot 77, Gar
Ward 95-78,
Don Franko
94-77, and
Ron
Abramowicz
98-81.
Hey, if
you're over
85 and golf,
let me know
and you can
be in the
Ageless
Wonder Club.
All
and all, it
was a great
day, and I
hope
everyone had
a great
time.
Next week,
we are at
the
sanctuary.
It's a
relatively
short course
but you have
to keep it
straight
cause there
is trouble
out there.
But as I
say, Bogey
is a good
score.
Your
secretary,
DJ
P.S.
Whoops, I
hit it right
again.
