Notables - Much ado has been said thus far, with so many Slammers showing up having shed all those pounds. There was a mention on Facebook, and yesterday, everybody was pleasantly shocked to see Ripzone and Sunny. Today add Hacker and Chef to the list. Ozone has also lost 15.
- Hey Stevie Ray and pointZero, we better get a new picture for the Cedar Glen events. Fuzzy and Chef aren’t recognizable.
- Welcome to today’s three rookies playing in their first events, They are Whiskey, High Five, and Snake. Also making a welcomed return to the Tour is the Enigma. Reminder, that we have many new incentive plans for recruiting, both here and with our new GTA chapter. I encourage you all to read up on them, and/or ask questions.
- Honourable Mentions today go out to three Slammers. Two were mentioned at the event and I missed one. First off an apology to you, Whiskey. Inaugural event, and you go undefeated and start your career in the top 30. The other two that were announced are that aMUISEing couple of IronMan and Pizza Maiden. No losses went home in that van, she with a 3-0 record and he of the 1-0-2 variety.
- Hacker played 18 holes today BAREFOOT! He will have to wait another day to collect his 100th career doggy {only six others have done this}.
- Par three #15 – Ticklar hits his tee shot down the ice on the pond. It rolled up the bank, but rolled back down to end up between ice and bank. Looked unplayable! Standing on the ice, Tick hit the ball like a bunker shot to 10 feet. He then proceeded to 3 jack. A good save – spoiled.
- The skins and dogs are all reported on the right, but THANK YOU Hacker and Iron Maiden for doing a fantastic job as masters {and mistress – thanx for printing for me also!}
- First hole and DeeJay starts off with a birdie for a skin, then to quote him "It all went downhill from there." Go ahead - have a peek. However he did achieve a milestone yesterday becoming only the 26th Slammer to play in his 150th event. He also was the 18th golfer to get his 50th career dog.
- Popeye, Ozone and RedDog have all cracked the top 100 in career events. ZenGirl's win over Snake was good enough for her 300th career point {32nd}. Akeem was 67th to get his 150th point when he beat BearCat. Bubba beat Billiards to join the 100 point club on Saturday.
- See the final quotable below to notice one of the Tour's most 'in unison' reply!
Quotables
- “Sigh! 20 degrees! What’s a girl to do? Can’t plant flowers, I might as well go feed on birdies.”
- “Wow! I hope that I remember how to play this game.”
- “I challenged two young beauties, and I ended up with you two old hags!”
- “At the end of this round, I will have twice as many events as Chef”
- “Remember Chef’s ‘words of wisdom on the golf course’ … “You are not that good!” “Wasn’t he talking to me?” “He says that to almost everyone.”
- “There is an iceberg in the water hazard on hole #1."
- “I’m losing balls faster than I can hit them.”
- “Let’s play best ball.”
- “It’s squirting between my legs!”
- “That’s not fair!” says Ticklar, when Chef chips in. Was that a whine?
- “Now that’s a man who knows his six inches.”
- “If I wore orange, I’d look like a big ass pumpkin.”
- “There’s no more water, it’s all in my shoes.”
- “NONE of these guys are good, on the first hole!”
- “We should change the name of the ‘commentary’ to Boomer’s Blog (because Facebook is not big enough).”
- “Hey Steamer how come you shot so well, when everybody else (‘cept Maiden and Chef), shot above their SA?” “He is a navy man, they love water!”
- "Next on the tee, Popeye the sailor man." "TOOT! TOOT!" replies all.

Sun Mar 18, 2012
Summary
Not such a big deal! We started last season on March 17, and played our second event on the 18th. By tomorrow we will be one event behind last year's pace, due to the cancellation of the Casselview event. On Wednesday we will be back on pace. OH YES, those first three events last year were a few hundred miles south. These are right here in the NCR. The conditions were wet but all else was ok, especially for the sailor {I mean the real one and not the 'toot toot' spinach eater}. The shorts and skorts were a plenty, and as green as yesterday's event was, today was surely orange day at Cedar Glen. Many last minute changes, and we ended up with the full compliment of twenty Slammers. Seven go undefeated, as we end up with six ties (three for RedDog, who although undefeated drops three spots in the rankings - TOUGH DAY}.
Stars |
|
Chef |
|
This award has a new sponsor for the 2012 season. The first star wins a large bucket of balls at Karters' Korner. Sorry Chief - I don't have my supply yet, but IOU a coupon.
Here is a seldom happening event. Some guy named Chef goes undefeated. On the way he adds a couple of skins, to move into first place in the column called "earn". Yes he is even ahead of Zen Girl, who is threatening every par three. I wonder if the new slimmer Chef, is eating his own cooking? I will know more Thursday, when I challenge him at Casselview. |
|
Steamer |
|
Steamer led all Slammers today with a round that beat his average by more than all of the other beaters did combined. His only defeat today came at the hands of the first star. The first upset over Clang happened on the 12th hole and moved Steamer up 8 rungs. Three holes later he took down Ticklar for the 4th time in their 27 match career {including 11 straight losses}, to move into #4. This win was Steamer's 250th career win {19th to do so}. |
|
Ozone |
|
Leading the tour in events this season, Rip's little brother O is today's third star. Yes the parents of the Zones, are proud of their boys and their slimming habits. Has Ozone's lost weight enabled him to play better? Today his 3-0 record included two upsets. First, he upset Deejay to move up 5 steps on the ladder. The other one was over Popeye who had won 3 of their last 4 matches, vaulting him to 17th. |
