PROGNOSIS
Bruce Washington - Ryan
Spindler
8:45
Spindler is past champion and
can be good...and he can be average! Rookie Washington knows the
course. Could be in the running on the whiteboard Saturday
night
Mike Lackey - Lee Ramby
8:45
Lackey is solid as a piece of granite. If
Lee-boy gives him a little help, they'll definitely be a
contender.
Jim Lindenmayer - Tom Lenahan
8:52
Lindy will hit a big ball and
has been playing a lot but still hold the title of TBGTNHWTGNG.
You know Tommy will bring two things -- the quickest mulligan in
the West and good beer!.
Alfred Galang - John Reineking
8:52
Phreddie is the consummate thinker on the
course. If he sheds the putting yipps, it could get
interesting. Reineking will make or break their chances.
Pete Barnett - Jim Hughes
8:59
Barnett's got game and Jimmy
ain't no slouch. THey'll need to play off each other and not
pick a bad ball from the hat to bury them at the grille.
Mike Yancey - Bob McGowan
8:59
Vegas has them at 5-2 odds to win. As a
rookie Yancey burst on to the scene two years ago to win.
McGowan thrives on pressure.
Sandy Dlugozima - Vince Terry
9:06
Recent birth of twins will take
a toll on Lugo but don't count this pair out. Vince will
have to have a solid outing and stay out of trouble.
Fred Terry - Scott Terry
9:06
If papa bear can channel baby bear's zeal and
enthusiasm into some golf this will be fun twosome to watch.
Scott's a human filibuster so we'll have to put the clock on him
to keep things moving
Gary Savage - Tyler Savage
9:13
Gary hits a nice ball and if he
get's it going early, this might be a dark horse team.
T-bone needs to play within his game and give pappa some help
along the way.
Ryan Nichols - Randy Nichols
9:13
Young Ryan has spent some time around a golf
course and loves the game. With Daddy-O's guidance (and some
help) ya just never know!
Tom Dutton - Mark Reifenberger
9:20
Always a fan favorite, TD
returns after breaking a 16 year consecutive GnG appearance streak
last year. Reif's a rookie and an unknown but as sure as
there will be a few Buds drank in this foursome you can be sure
this will be a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place team!
Jeff Bowler - Rob Lindroos
9:20
Bowler has a sweet game and notched a win in his
GnG debut in 2009. Lindroos has been dying to use that big 'ol
driver that he got for Christmas 2 years ago. Bring it on
Rob-o!
Pete Van Frayen - Tim Patterson
9:27
This cousin duo just might have
what it takes. Rumor has it that Timbo has been on the
course just a "few times" as of late. Young VF has
got some distance and could combine a little brawn and brain to
give GnG 2010 a run!
Mike Van Frayen - Joe Van Frayen
9:27
Rich friends who live on golf courses has given 'ol
Joe quite a bit of time on the courses this summer. He'll
need to be on top of his much improved game to pull Pops around
the course. No VF has been in the winners circle in 17
years. Divine Intervention might be the needed elixir!!
Ever wonder why
golf is growing in popularity and people who don't even play go
to tournaments or watch it on TV? These truisms may shed light
on reasons why.
Golf is an honorable game, with the overwhelming majority of
players being
honorable people who don't need referees.
Golfers don't scratch their privates on the golf course.
Golfers don't kick dirt on, or throw bottles at, other people.
Professional golfers are compensated in direct proportion to how
well they play.
Golfers don't get per diem and two seats on a charter flight
when they travel
between tournaments.
Golfers don't hold out for more money, or demand new contracts,
because of
another player's deal.
Professional Golfers don't demand that the taxpayers pay for the
courses on
which they play.
When golfers make a mistake, nobody is there to cover for them
or back them up.
The PGA Tour raises more money for charity in one year than the
National
Football League does in two.
You can watch the best golfers in the world up close, at any
tournament,
including the majors, all day, every day for $25 or $30. The
cost for a seat in
the nosebleed section at the Super Bowl will cost around $300 or
more.
You can bring a picnic lunch to the tournament golf course,
watch the best in
the world and not spend a small fortune on food and drink. Try
that at one of
the taxpayer funded baseball or football stadium. I brought a
Coke into Oriole
Park at Camden Yards last year, and an usher came to my seat and
told me I had
to dispose of it, or I would not be allowed to stay in the
stadium.
In golf you cannot fail 70% of the time and make $9 million a
season, like the
best baseball hitters (.300 batting average) do.
Golf doesn't change its rules to attract Fans.
Golfers keep their clothes on while they are being interviewed.
Golf doesn't have free agency.
In their prime, Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer and other stars,
would shake your
hand and say they were happy to meet you. In his prime Jose
Canseco wore
T-shirts that read "Leave Me Alone."
You can hear birds chirping on the golf course during a
tournament.
Ladies are welcome players.
At a golf tournament, (unlike at taxpayer funded sports stadium
and arenas) you
won't hear a steady stream of four letter words and nasty name
calling while
you're hoping that no one spills beer on you.
Also: If
you have re-gripped your golf ball retriever more than once you
might question if this game is really for you.
1. Golf can best be defined as an endless
series of tragedies obscured by
the occasional miracle.
2. "I wish I could play my normal game...just once."
3. "Golf is harder than baseball. In golf, you have to play
your foul balls."
4. If you find you do not mind playing golf in the rain, the
snow, even during a hurricane, here's a valuable tip: Your life
is in trouble.
5. Golfers who try to make everything perfect before taking the
shot
rarely make a perfect shot.
6. The term "mulligan" is really a contraction of the
phrase "maul it again."
7. A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement
between two golfers ....neither of whom can putt very well.
8. An interesting thing about golf is that no matter how badly
you play; it is always possible to get worse.
9. Golf's a hard game to figure. One day you'll go out and slice
it and shank it, hit into all the traps and miss every green.
The next day you go out and for no reason at all you really
stink.
10. I play in the low 80s. If it's any hotter than that, I won't
play.
11. If your best shots are the practice swing and the "gimme
Putt", you might wish to reconsider this game.
12. Achieving a certain level of success in golf is only
important if you can finally enjoy the level you've reached
after you've reached it.
13. Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent is
you.
14. Golf is like marriage If you take yourself too seriously it
won't work... and both are expensive.
15. The best wood in most amateurs' bags is the pencil.
16. To some golfers, the greatest handicap is the ability to add
correctly.
Golf Club Rules
1. Back straight, knees bent, feet shoulder
width apart.
2. Form a loose grip.
3. Keep your head down.
4. Avoid a quick back swing.
5. Stay out of the water.
6. Try not to hit anyone.
7. If you are taking too long, please let others
go ahead of you.
8. Don't stand directly in front of others.
9. Quiet please... while others are preparing to
go.
10. Don't take extra strokes.
Very good. Now flush the urinal, go outside, and tee off!
If you drink, dont. drive. Don't even
putt.
Dean Martin
When I die, bury me on the golf course so my
husband will visit.

I'm hitting the woods just great....but having
a terrible time getting out of them!

If you think it's hard to meet new people, try
picking up the wrong golf ball.
Jack Lemmon
1. Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in
your mind during
your swing.
2. When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can
either hit
one more club or two more balls.
3. If you are afraid a full shot might reach the green while the
group
ahead are still putting, you have two options: you can
immediately
shank a lay-up, or you can wait until the green is clear and top
a
ball halfway there.
4. The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share
his ideas
about the golf swing.
5. If it isn't broke, try changing your grip.
6. Golfers who claim they don't cheat also lie.
7. Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.
8. A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponent's
luck.
9. It's surprisingly easy to sink a 50 foot putt when you lie
10.
10. Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a
rule is like
expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.
11. Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts.
12. It's not a gimme putt if you're still away.
13. The shortest distance between any two points on a golf
course is a
straight line that passes directly through the large tree.
14. There are two kinds of bounces: unfair bounces and bounces
just the
way you intended to play it.
15. You can hit a two-acre fairway 10% of the time and a 2-inch
branch
on a tree 90% of the time.
16. Every time a golfer makes a birdie he must subsequently make
three
triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the
universe.
Feast on These!!
Golfer: "I've played so poorly all day; I think I'm
going to go drown
myself in that
lake."
Caddy: "I doubt you could keep your head
down that long."
Golfer: "I'd move heaven and earth to be able to
break 100 on this course."
Caddy: "Try heaven. You've already moved most of the
earth."
Golfer: "Well, I have never played this badly
before!
Caddy: "I didn't realize you had played before,
sir."
Golfer: "Caddy, do you think my game is improving?"
Caddy: "Oh yes, sir! You miss the ball much closer than you
used to."
Golfer: "Please stop checking your watch all the
time, caddy. It's distracting!"
Caddy: "This isn't a watch, sir, its a compass!"
Golfer: "Caddy, do you think it is a sin to play golf on
Sunday?"
Caddy: "The way you play, sir, it's a sin any day of
the week!"
Golfer: "This golf is a funny game."
Caddy: "It's not supposed to be."
Golfer: "That can't be my ball, caddy. It looks far too
old."
Caddy: "It's a long time since we started, sir."
Golfer: "Do you think I can get there with a
5-iron?"
Caddy: "Eventually."
Golfer (screaming): "You've got to be the worst caddy in
the world!"
Caddy: "I doubt it. That would be too much of a
coincidence!"
17. If you want to hit a 7-iron as far as Tiger Woods does,
simply try to
lay up just short of a water hazard.
18. To calculate the speed of a player's downswing, multiply the
speed
of his backswing by his handicap. Example, backswing 20 miles
per
hour, handicap, 15, downswing = 300 m.p.h.
19. There are two things you can learn by stopping your
backswing at
the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands
you have, and which hand is wearing the golf glove.
20. Hazards attract; Fairways repel.
21. You can put "draw" on the ball, you can put
"fade" on the ball, but
no golfer can put "straight" on the ball.
22. A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not
yours.
23. If there is a ball in the fringe and a ball in the bunker,
your ball is
in the bunker.
24. If both balls are in the sand, yours is in the footprint.
25. Don't buy a putter until you have had a chance to throw it.
26. The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant
elimination of
the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to
compensate for
all your errors.
