‘Blades Corner:

All I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land

(Kashmir – Led Zeppelin Cuz it’s hot)

It’s so hot the cows are producing evaporated milk.
It’s so hot that I have taken to leaving the toilet seat up just to get those chilling, icy stares from my wife.
It’s so hot chickens are laying hard-boiled eggs.
It’s so hot everyone is wearing sweat pants.
It’s so hot the frozen pizza I bought at the grocery store was ready to eat by the time I got home.
It’s so hot outside I just saw two hobbits throw a ring off my roof.

Sometimes updating the golf sheet is a version of the telephone game…

GO SNAPPERS 2022!!

Long as I remember the rain been comin’ down

And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain?

Tough Sleddin out there for birdies this week…..except for JWOLF (cant win the Mega Millions if you don’t play)..

I UNDERSTAND WE HAD A VISITOR AT HOLE # 2 greenside today….Somebody missed me……..           

SIDE NOTE FOR ALL OF YOU KEEPING SCORE ON THE OFFICIAL  SCORECARD FOR THE VERY  FIRST TIME AND OH YOU TOO LARRY COOPER: Reminder it is a lot easier for me to locate and log  your stats pars and birds if you help by placing a circle around your birds (double circle for eagles)  AND if you put a dot to the right of your pars.  That goes for those of you who care little or not at all for pars as well as those of us for whom a single par in a round is our only goal///’’’……

Excuse me, sir. But is the course open tonight?

GO SNAPPERS 2022!!

TEAM SKIN: Lucky hole # I3….. cut several times with net “7”   for 2 week  carry over…..

5-HOLE: HERB GREEN…took multiple tie breakers I hear…nice stamina  Herbie

BIRDIES: SHANG,  Hollywood,  Carrier,  Murany ,  Ford  (Matt & Jake of course) Coop, Romo, Herb ,  Kyle,     Hamilton, Stutz and 2 for ballhog Scott Gregory….great job guys

LOW ACTUAL:   Larry Cooper “37”

LOW NET:  Matt Murany   “32”

AOTD:   LARRY COOPER  for failure to follow directions.. he turned in a scorecard when specifically instructed last week with good reason not to keep score for awhile..when asked for a defense he said: “my wife says I only have 2 faults that bother her 1 I don’t listen to her and 2 …ahh something else I cant remember..”   ….ASSHOLE!  ..by the way the card was fine so I hereby lift the prohibition….don’t want him to scam the system for golf balls…

Honorable Mention for Kevin Stutzman:  anybody ever see the Progressive commercial bout people turning into parents: give ya a $100 if you can tell me what this round object wrapped in foil in the freezer is??? Well I could ask the same thing of Kevin Stutzman bout his substitutes name the one I am supposed to keep scores recorded for:

WHO SUBBED FOR CHRIS JOHNS?????…

Anybody anybody  is it DAN  Xy#EL08??

CONGRATS MAJESTIC BEER BABE OF THE WEEK AUDREY

Alternate Header: You make a grown man cry

Congrats to the following weekly winnas:

GREENIE #1:  Rick Carlson       #2:  Mike Romanowski

TEAM SKIN: Lucky hole # I cant rememba….. cut several times with net “6” to carry over…..

5-HOLE: substitute  Kevin Miller subbing for Scott Gregory cleaned our clocks here…

BIRDIES: Matt Murany and Larry Cooper on #1 Wolf # 4 Starnes # 9 Jake # 7.. Jamies Scratch Game: Wolf, Coop &  Jake

LOW ACTUAL:  Steve Starnes “37”

LOW NET:  Matt Murany  & Johnny Martin  “35”

AOTD:   Steve Shang Peltier…….Accepted responsibility for placing the blank par 3 greenie stakes at the 2 par three holes…. Fulfilled one half of said responsibility placing one and just keeping the second for himself escorting it all the way back to the cart barn.  Which is more than he did with his scorecard.  That was inadvertently found on the boat while litter was being collected, stuffed into the seat cushion after he went home.  ASSHOLE!

Honorable mention goes to Jason Carrier for taking a practice put during play causing his ball to be struck by his partners putt which of course therefore had zero chance to be made and was bounced off line and further from the hole than it would have….. Nice try with the “cant get AOTD for playing golf” defense but I rule practice puts during play are illegal and not therefore playing golf…oh thank you Shang…

POINT OF ORDER:  Larry Cooper please do not keep score for awhile….I was shocked to see an official scorecard turned in that Timmy K would have been proud of… apparently a carry over mindset  from recent outings and tournaments in an attempt to calculate individual net scores completely useless to me ,  it had slashes and numbers everywhere  appearing to be some kind of modified stableford scoring written in Dutch… please Larry its league now …you can do this …

THE COLOR GUARD

“The Sorority Squat” Flawlessly performed By Bailey and ‘Blade. Notice how squatting is actually a more flattering pose than a full on straight shot. It is a more harmonious photo not having the jarring height difference. Squatting also does wonders for the figure!

That’s gonna do it. See Ya next year!

…And me, I’m flying in my taxi
Taking tips, and getting stoned

A little Harry Chapin Taxi lyric there. You younger boys won’t get that, but it’s an earworm that keeps giving every time I glance at this picture of Hollywood & Li’l Coop. (sounds like an intersection down the street from Hollywood & Vine, only this street corner is where the hookers and pimps hang.) Don’t stare! Just get a sense of it and LOOK AWAY… IT BURNS!!!

Who Wore It Better?

And don’t worry… I wouldn’t end this post without your dose of Beer Babe. Ryleigh’s lead my be insurmountable..

GO SNAPPERS!!!
