AOTD: Nick “Where is my F&%$ing driver?” Cooper ……for…..well you guessed it losing his driver on the course….He didn’t lose it technically since he found it and retrieved it from beside the teebox on the last hole…but not until he held up the boat for what seemed like an eternity of 25 minutes or so since he could not discover the loss until the last group was ready to embark across Lake Walden… Nick offered two defenses which were both soundly rejected by the league…1: The cart girl distracted me (come on Nick this recurring natural happening is part of our weekly challenge and we go about our business…& 2: everybody occasionally leaves a club behind… But Nick…a wedge next to the green, an 8 iron next to the bunker sure…but a Driver at the tee box???? Not hardly…
Congrats to Grace, the Majestic Beer Babe of the Week!
OH! Hi there. No, the latest golf sheet is not yet available. Rest assured that our high speed computers are busy with the calculations of scores, net scores, team points, individual stats & awards, and a recalibration of the latest standings. We expect to have this update available to you the league member literally hours before you are scheduled to need it before tee off this week. However, I thought I would use this opportunity to give you an early gift of our latest videos. If you or your team is not listed yet, we’ll get to you. Happy Father’s Day to those of you with progeny.

Weekly Cudos:
Low Actual: Dave Wolfenden “37” Low Net: Johnny Martin “28” Greenies 1: Stan Fullwood Greenies 2: Nevelle Kirby Team Skin: Carlson/Tomaszewski 5-Hole: Dave Wolfenden AOTD: Larry Cooper
TEAM SKIN: Lucky hole # 21….. cashed in by Tony T with a birdie 2 (chip in) & Rick Carlson a….combined net “4”…..
5-HOLE: Dave Wolfenden…..

LOW ACTUAL: Dave Wolfenden “37”
LOW NET: Johnny Martin “28”
AOTD: COOP was nominated by Jamie and carried the day. Hitting his approach shot on hole 27 normally accurate Coop instead scattered the gallery with everyone escaping unscathed except Nevelle Kirby; the golf ball was all over him…OBVIOUSLY INTENTIONAL says Jamie… Snapper protested in Coop’s defense that you cannot win AOTD for a bad golf shot….But this was clearly a Racist Shot according to Jamie as it came nowhere near anyone but a person of color…Coop then attempted to deny his intent saying “I couldn’t help it…it must have been systemic racism” but alas the AOTD vote carried the day with Nevelle (our renowned bowling ball driller) heard to mumble: “He is not gonna like how his bowling ball acts next season!!!…GO SNAPPERS 2021!!!
Low Actual: Chris Johns “36” Low Net: Chris Johns “30” Greenies 1: Jamie Leece Greenies 2: Larry Cooper Team Skin: Stutz/Johns 5-Hole: Johnny Martin AOTD: n/a
BIRDIES?: Dave Hamilton….Ron Hamon and Tommy Boyd each got one….Kieth Cross and Chris Johns got 2 each but it was Herb Green cleaning up in Jamie’s Scratch Skins taking the entire $110 pot with his single well placed birdie nobody cut…
LOW ACTUAL: Chris Johns shot even par “36” with 5 pars and 2 birdies….
LOW NET: But this is a handicap league so take away his cap from and even par round and Chris Johns netted a “30” best for the night……
And CONGRATULATIONS TO CO WINNERS OF THE WEEK for the THE Majestic Beer Babe of the week: KATIE & KAYGAN…both were outstanding THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! (PS: It was rumored that RYLEIGH who did not work the course this week sneered when she saw this and exclaimed “NOBODY TIES ME WHEN I’M THERE”)…. Uh ohhhh a challenge?????

Weekly Cudos:
Low Actual: Mike Romanowski, Keith Cross “37” Low Net: Jake Ford, Bubba Finetti “32” Greenies 1: Chris Johns Greenies 2: Kyle Lieckfelt Team Skin: carry over / #6 hole 5-Hole: Keith Cross (tie breaker to the #1!) AOTD: none
BIRDIES?: Besides the actual flock of wild turkeys, there were 10 birdies last week! One each for Dave Wolfenden, Larry Cooper, Jake Ford, Kevin Stutzman, Dave Furey, Mike Romanowski, Nevelle Kirby, and Kyle Lieckfelt, and two times for Keith Cross. Not too shabby, fellas!
LOW ACTUAL: Mike Romanowski & Keith Cross with a “37” (yes, Romo, I corrected your score card that tallied a “38” in error.)
LOW NET: Jake Ford & Bubba (if that IS your real name) Finetti “32”
AOTD: I’m sure there were more than a few, just none brought to my attention.
Congrats to League Founder & President, Ricky “Papa C” Snapper, as his daughter, Sara, gave birth to his newest Granddaughter last week. This makes Snapper a grandpa twice over, and Chris “Uncle C-Money’s” second niece! And since Sara is Steve Markunas and my niece, does this make her baby our new niece twice removed?
Also – Congratulations to “John” from one of those other leagues, who (if he was to be believed) scored a hole-in-one on number 12. The Snappers say Thanks for the pitchers of beer! Do it again next week! (the free beers, not the ace.)
And finally CONGRATULATIONS TO RYLEIGH 2021, THE Majestic Beer Babe of the week! (again) who made it perfectly clear that she was not amused with Natalie trying to steal her lime light with last week’s ‘illegitimate?’ win (her words, not mine).

SBITES (aka Snapper Bites) for Week 3 Results…
Just as we are getting to know each other with 6 new league members….all of a sudden we got 5 subs last week…..and a public service reminder…we do value your privacy…no driver license or social security numbers required… but it is only fair in a handicap league that if you have a sub you identify him on the scorecard by his full name please (Finnetti)
Congrats to the following weekly winnas:
GREENIE #1: Kevin Stutzman #2: Tom Boyd
TEAM SKIN: Jamie and Herb cashed in $140 two week carryover …..
5-HOLE: sub Scott Ford scored Eagle on 24 to crush the tiebreaker after the usual multi way tie for birdie on 23…..
BIRDIES?: yeah sure 1 here another there then Dave Fury’s card has 4 in a row….WOW…..
LOW ACTUAL: Keith Cross “36”
LOW NET: Steve Markunas “32”
AOTD: Got our 1st one of the year STEVE MARKUNAS for gross scorecard indifference…….WE circle Birdies …we double circle eagles…we put dots next to pars……….If you don’t know this you probably don’t play in Jamies scratch skins game and you sure don’t even think about how much harder it is for the gambling games and scoresheet stats to be calculated and updated for your convenience….If you do know this from being on the league for years and don’t do it anyway especially if you embarrass Jamie like you did Steve..by missing your uncircled birdie and paying himself off only to have to return the moola after double check shows the error…then well You are just an Asshole…
Honorable mention to Rick Carlson who misjudged how close his cigar was to his ball in pre-league, hitting a nice shot but totally obliterating the end of the cigar on follow through….he looked like a Red Skelton Circus Clown when he placed it in his mouth after that and only the fact that no one photographed it kept him out of the running for the AOTD nomination…
“Got all of that one!”
Majestic Beer Babe of the week
And finally CONGRATULATIONS: NATALIE, 2021 1st Majestic Beer Babe of the week!!!
FOR EXEMPLARY SERVICE!!!

Remembering Bill ‘Pic Pic’ Cape. (by: Jerry)
I always looked forward to the weeks we were scheduled to play against my long-time buddy, Bill, and his golf partner Dave., for I knew there would be nothing but laughter and fun the entire night. They’ve been known by many monikers – early on as “the MacKenzie Brothers” for their constant banter back and forth reminiscent of the famous “hoser” Great White North Canadian tv brothers from by gone days. They have been called “The Budweiser Twins” due to the full ‘tool box’ of their favorite beverage, and even compared to the Skipper (Dave) and his l’il buddy Gilligan (Bill). I had the pleasure of introducing Bill to the league and playing with him as his golf partner at Tyrone for the first few years in the late 80s and early 90s (until he dumped me for Dave). He loved playing hot into that large netting that protected the parking lot (on #9?) because the ball would drop by the green. The last hole was “the coffee hole”, of which Bill won more than his fair share. The 100-yard fairway putts… “ROUTINE!” the looong ball address waggles, as the cigarette ash dangled precariously over his teed ball (like a Angelo’s fry cook over the burger patty) Every memory I have of my friend Bill brings a smile and I am going to miss him tremendously. I dipped into the AOTD archives and grabbed some of my favorite highlights from over the years. If there was anyone who has embraced the spirit of the AOTD award, it was Bill. Enjoy! – Jerry
Bill Cape feigning nonchalance at having won the 5 hole and apparently enamored with the high stakes skin pot looked scornfully at the handful of dollar bills presented to him and rolled his eyes as if the $26 was not worth his effort
June, 2012 – AND THE WINNER IS… BILL “Pic Pic” Cape for extreme ingratitude. Now understand that as a longtime Snapper, Bill has taken it upon himself to assist the many new guys this year to fully understand the spirit of our league in our loose rules to make the game of golf more enjoyable and less oppressive. So last week, playing against new guys Harrison & Hamon, Bill found himself in a not uncommon circumstance after hitting his 1st shot (according to partner Lawless) into the shit, then (also according to Lawless) hitting at least his 2nd shot and perhaps his 3rd shot into the shit, Bill is now definitely in the shit. Surveying the situation, he realized that there were pickery thingys about him making the “snow angels” option uncomfortable (and having left his pruning shears in the cart too far away to retrieve) Bill decided on a combination of two tricks he uses on occasion First came the old “Stamp down your feet all around the hazard with baby steps” then the “delay your next shot as long as it takes” to get some relief offered from your opponents. This one is usually used on the green when Bill fumbles in his pocket feigning inability to find a coin to mark his ball in his opponents line. FINALLY, after an eternity as Harrison/Hamon feared groups of Snappers would begin stacking at the tee behind them, they announced in unison, “GO AHEAD and move your ball out a little. We are not that serious about scoring”. Bill quickly accepted, picking up his ball and throwing it several feet to safety and snarled back at them: “It took you long enough!” For this exclamation, Pic Pic was voted AOTD.
ASSHOLE OF THE DAY, June 16, 2011: Dishonorable Mentions: Bill Cape, for driving the passenger tires of his golf cart erratically over large landscape rocks which were placed precariously beside the paved cart path near the worker’s booth just outside of the clubhouse prior to the round. When “John” the shuttle driver objected, Bill feigned a back and neck injury, boisterously complaining the fact that there were no warning signs of “ROCKS NEXT TO CART PATH AHEAD”. “Why are there no arrows or reflectors clearly marking this hazard?,” inquired Bill. Darren answered this question with his own, “Don’t the large rocks mark themselves?” To which Bill retorted, “Obviously the safety of the customers are not a top priority,” as he rubbed the back of his neck and dangling the prospects of a class action as bait in a feeble attempt to get Nakes to take the case. “Besides, I was distracted by my partner Dave’s yelling,” to which Jamie responded, “Yeah, he was yelling ‘WATCH OUT FOR THE ROCKS'”. Jamie also made the point that Bill had no business piloting a cart at the clubhouse prior to the boatride to the starting tenth tee. Partner Dave successfully argued that they shouldn’t be expected to walk the 20 feet from the booth the the shuttle pickup in front of the beer boat
ASSHOLE OF THE DAY:, July 23, 2009: Bill Cape for behavior unbecoming of a Snapper. Upon collecting, Paul wanted to show the Snappers his appreciation for their accumulative inability to push the skins pot again by buying a round of drinks. As the waitress went around of table shouts of “Hieneken”, “Sam Adams” and the like were rattled off in rapid order. When she reached Bill Cape he politely waved her off saying, “I’m good”. An awkward silence immediately fell over the table, followed by many emphatic reminders from fellow Snappers that “the best kind of beer is…. FREE BEER!” The only defense offered by “Pic-Pic” was that he was only trying to be polite, which of course was summarily dismissed by the Snappers.
July, 2007 – Honorable Mention to Bill Cape who came to the clubhouse proudly with two count em two what he calls replacement balls for others he unfortunately cannot find. Both of these balls were said by Lawless to have been deep enough in the woods that no one but Bill would venture there, there being no normal reason to do so. But Bill knew that if his ball were to be found it would be found deep and he just can’t afford to not even look hole after hole. This time he comes out from the 20 minute or so search and rescue mission with two, count em two replacements and to make it even better he knows who the previous owners were -one ball having “Shang” embossed in blue sharpie and the other with a preprinted scales of justice and “Carlson Attorney” logo. Rubbing their noses in it, Shang just smiled and shook his head but Snapper appeared incredulous when exclaiming: “Bill, I put that ball there for advertising! you already know I’m a lawyer – I would have paid you $20 to leave it there.” Bill didn’t buy it and proudly posed for a pretentious photo of the pilfered prizes.
june 3, 2004 – Bill received a unanimous vote to win the 2nd AOTD award in 2004. Here are the facts as I know them. Dave asked his partner for the yardage on an approach shot, and Bill answered by stating that Dave had 125 yards to the hole. Dave selected a club based on Bill’s yardage response, and struck it well, flying directly over the flagstick, landing 20-some yards long of the green! “There’s no way I hit my 9-iron 140 yards!,” exclaimed Dave. “Maybe that red thing (brick) means 100 yards after all,” answered Bill. Whether Bill purposely provided his partner with false yardage information, or he really thought that the red bricks were 125-yard markers, we may never know. I think we can all agree that Bill is deserving of the AOTD in either case. We might also suggest that Dave open his eyes on occasion!
Asshole-of-the-Day, September 4, 2004 -Cape paced the green as he pretended to line up his 5-foot putt, but in reality he was in “gimmee putt” (pick-pick) mode. Bill began to use every tried-and-true, battle-tested method he’d employed in the past to successfully secure a “pick-pick.” Bill must have been thinking about the cost effective award, as he skillfully argued, pleaded, then shamelessly begged for permission to pocket this 5-footer. Finally, his finely honed gimmee skills must have tired his opponents, and the pick-pick was granted. The only problem was, Cape’s masterful display was wasted as he realized that he had already maxed the hole out (invoking the “double par + 1” a/k/a: 7/11 rule).
August 7, 2003 – Bill and Dave won the first team asshole-of-the-day award two weeks ago, when they showed up to the golf course wearing nametags. They were scheduled to play Fulgham and Blevins, and Gary had mistakenly called Bill “Dave” and Dave “Bill” a few times during a round earlier in the season (and all involved having been league members continuously for over a decade).
No problem so far. This was actually a considerate gesture, helping out a seasoned member of our league. I mean, you wouldn’t call a boyscout an “asshole” for gently taking an elderly woman’s elbow and slowly helping her cross the street, right? But what if the elderly lady suffered from alzheimer’s and the boyscout left her on an unfamiliar corner (in the country) to see if she could find her way home?
That’s the best analogy I can think of to explain the cold-hearted and callous act of what came next. Sometime during the round, Dave and Bill Surreptitiously switched nametags to confuse and bewilder Gary. Shame!
6/8/00 (week 6) Steve Markunas wins for allowing himself to be duped by the Snapper’s own version of Abbott and Costello, our very own con men, Cape and Lawless. Steve was rightfully feeling pretty good about himself after his round of 39, having broke the notorious “40 barrier”. Bill and Dave feigned disbelief and demanded proof by proposing Steve call out his hole-by-hole score and they would answer with the running total. Steve agreed, and started the process by shouting “four and three”! Bill and Dave responded with a “Seven”. “Five” said Steve. “Thirteen”, exclaimed the boys. Steve continued his hole-by-hole score, unaware that an extra stroke had surreptitiously been added to his total. When Steve proudly reached his score on hole #9 and inevitably the total was “40”, his sails deflated. 40 is still a good score, but not when you are expecting a 39. Would Chuck Yeager have been satisfied had he traveled only 1,115 feet per second? That’s pretty fast, but as every Snapper realizes, the speed of sound is 1,116 feet per second (at sea level and at 59degrees F).
Bill Cape was runner-up when, upon arriving to the course, pulled his vehicle into a parking spot clearly marked by a “Reserved for Golf Professional” sign. Bill’s defense was that he felt the sign was “kind of vague” since it didn’t actually name a particular golf professional. Even his own partner, Dave Lawless, wasn’t buying it when he rhetorically asked “what was your score again tonight Bill?”
Tim Kachelski makes it close for “removing his golf glove to take a piss”. According to Bill Cape, it made the entire group uncomfortable, and Bill was visibly shaken in the clubhouse hours later.
Dave Wolfenden, for denying “pick picks” between his own partner and an opponent, when they had already agreed upon the exchange. (of course it involved Cape, who else?)
August 12, 1999 A.O.T.D. – Bill Cape (2 weeks in a row!) Bill started “fluffing up” what he thought to be his ball (advancing it several yards down field). During this process, there were angry “high pitched” shouts of “THAT’S MY BALL!” from the women’s league that had been waiting patiently behind them until then. Bill checked and sure enough, his “Flying Lady” was a different number.
7/23/98 Week 11 award is a split between Dave Lawless and Bill Cape for their varying accounts of how their cart ended up ramming poor old defenseless Gary Fulgham’s cart (a long time elderly league member). Bill was behind the wheel, but he would have us believe that Dave became impatient with Bill’s safety precautions, resulting in Dave recklessly stepping on the accelerator and causing the crash. Dave’s contention is that HE was concerned for the safety and well being of his partner when he gently engaged the pedal in an attempt to get the cart away from the front of the green and incoming shots. According to Dave, the situation became precarious when Bill became disoriented and viciously turned the wheel into poor old Mr. Fulgham’s cart.
6/8/94 -Dishonorable mention goes to Bill Cape. It was learned after the official AOTD vote that, when questioned why he was marking his ball decidedly closer to the hole, Bill explained that it was common practice to take a flag sticks distance. (this was, of course, the par 3 greenie winner)1993- A.O.T.D. – Bill Cape, for paying $240 (to date) towards the $220 total league dues.
