Lets's Speed It Up This Year!!!

2001 FORMAT
This years format will be BEST BALL for the front nine and ALTERNATING
SHOT for the back nine. 

NEW RULE!!- 
On the front nine there is a 3 putt maximum. If you miss your 2nd putt...just pick it up and give yourself a 3 putt

Alternating shot format will have a slight "twist" in that both players in twosome will drive the ball on each back nine hole.  Strategy will come into play by virtue of the team determining whose shot to use to start the alternating shot format.  

One hole will be subtracted from total score via a blind hole draw at Grille festivities to determine final score.  This means you don't know who wins until 9:00 Saturday night!!

 

Ellen commandeers the "grille" again!

With a deftness that  most of us could only hope for, Ellen will once again commandeer the feeding frenzy!

McGowan-Churilla Take Top Honors in 2001 G'nG Men's Tourney




2001 Golf'n Grille Men's Champions

   A Virtual "Repeat"!


Dawsonville, GA 9/24/01 -- In what has been referred to as a "virtual repeat", Bob McGowan and Marty Churilla nailed down the top spot in the 9th Annual Golf 'n Grille Men's Championships.  "It's a repeat, no doubt about it", proclaimed McGowan at the awards ceremony held at the estate of VFSE founder Mike Van Frayen.  "Since Marty was injured for the 2000 tourney this should be officially noted as a repeat.  We won it in 1999 and then the next time we played together.  It's a slam dunk, end of story, el finuto", he argued.  Churilla was less caustic but quipped, "We won it twice, just check the Champion's Plaque".

The champion combo overcame lightning fast greens at the picturesque Chestatee Golf Club in Dawsonville, GA. to best a field of 28 golfers which was the biggest in G'nG history.   The pair posted a team 83 to vault them into the wacky "I Think We Won" ball drawing that is the culmination of the awards ceremonies. 



2nd Place Honors went to Jim Lindenmayer and Jim Hughes who had a wonderful round of true team golf.  Hughes' elation of his finish was exclamated when he was observed sleeping with his trophy later that evening.  "I sleep with a "trophy" every night...but we won't go there", joked Lindenmayer in a taped interview after hearing of his partners plight.  



The 3rd Place award went to Tom Dutton and Tom Lenahan.  Dutton turned in a blistering even-par on the front but couldn't get the team play going on the back.  "My coaching certainly was a main reason for T.D.'s play on the front.  I told him when to sip, when not to sip...it made a difference.  If he would have returned the favor it might have been a different outcome",  a disappointed Lenahan quipped.


Rhonda Daniel Takes G'nG Womens Championship

It went down to the wire but Rhonda Daniel prevailed in a hotly contested G'nG Womens Putting Championship.  Edging out Margo Lindenmayer and Myslissa Stout, Daniel refused to succumb to any rookie pressure and popped a 250 pointer in the finals to take the coveted top prize.  "The competition was tough but I had been practicing my grip for weeks.  Lessons from Sandy were a big help", Rhonda denoted. "I hope to defend my title next year...but....", as her voice trailed off.

Valentino Claims Top Honors In Juniors Action

Nick Valentino exercised his superb athleticism and experience in taking the 2nd Annual G'nG Juniors Championships"A little luck helps but I was pretty confident all day", the young red-head proclaimed.  Valentino outlasted Scott Terry and Charlie Stout in the the late evening finals competition.

Other winners included Alfred Galang who bombed a gargantuan drive up the tough 18th hole.  Laser-Line calculated the drive at 302 yards!!  Closest to the pin winners were Tony Galang, Bob McGowan and Marty Churilla.

---------------------------

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!"
