Borrello-Reineking
Take Top Honors in
Van Frayen & Sons Entertainment
2002 Golf 'n Grille
Roger Borrello and rookie John
Reineking pummeled their opponents in this modified match play format.
The combo won 12 holes and had a "plus" value of 10 for the afternoon.
Pittted against Anne Dutton (the "Rosa Parks" of Golf 'n Grille)
and Rob Lindroos, the Borrello/Reineking team put the pressure on
early and were never headed.
"This was satisfying", said Borrello, who is known for gargantuan and
erratic tee shots. With a victory in his debut performance,
Reineking simply lamented, "Piece of cake"! Anne, exhibiting her
usual poise and class simply stated "I'll be back".
Lindroos, through a spokeswoman, had allegedly "scored well" previously in
the weekend and was "just worn out".
Patterson Brothers Capture 2002 G'nG Runner-up Position
Playing perhaps the finest golf
of his career, Tim Patterson put his brother Brad on his back and single
handedly destroyed the Fred/Vince Terry team 12-5. TP
was one over par after 5 and just cruised from there. A 309 yd drive
on the 9th hole put the finishing touches on a magnificent front nine.
In the interview tent afterwards Tim proclaimed "...you know, this is the
best I've played since...EVER!". Brother Brad, who had declined to
inform anyone of a Friday rib injury in order to minimize any Calcutta
improprieties, just winced in laughter as he watched his brother bask in
the limelight. A less than enthusiastic Fred Terry looked on
in obvious disgust..."Who put these ()&^#*& pairings together?" were his
only words!
McGowan-Rogers Finish Third
In what is becoming a routine
occurrence, Bob McGowan once again made his annual pilgrimage to the VFSE
awards stage. Ushering brother-in-law Mickey Rogers through the
perils of Friday night debauchery and navigating curfew enforcer Ellen Van
Frayen, the team combined for a well-matched 10-7 victory over Kevin
Goodman and Neil Jarrell. A confident McGowan had a tough
time containing his exuberance, "I just BREED good golf at these things".
A murmur went through the crowd as Bob lifted his 46the beer of the
weekend!! Partner Rogers was proclaimed "VFSE Rookie of the Year"
for a stalwart all-around performance in a many faceted weekend.
Dottie Draws First Blood
For Lackey Clan -
Nudges Out Spindler and Sheckter
in Women's Finals
With Kate, Mike and Dottie rounding
out a triumvirate of golf talent in a single family, it was Dottie who finally
"brought home the gold" for the group!! In a tense final for the
Women's Putting Championship, Lackey refused to wilt under the pressure
from Suzi Sheckter and Coleen "Beardy" Spindler and popped a "250" on her
third ball to seal the title. With a bit of good natured taunting to
husband Mike, Dottie trotted off the stage to a resounding applause from
the female populace.
First Van Frayen & Sons Entertainment Hall of Fame
Inductees Announced
Pine Mountain, Ga.....In a poignant ceremony (yeah
right...get off the stage Mike!!) the VFSE Executive Committee inducted 5
members into the newly instituted VFSE Hall of Fame. For
participation, commitment and assistance over the past 15 years,
each member was presented with a commemorative Hall of Fame Plaque that
was uniquely supplied, designed and fabricated by Sam Wynn of EDI in
Marietta, Ohio. This group combined for an astounding 180 Van
Frayen & Sons event attendance number. Inductees were Fred Terry,
Jim Lindenmayer, Tom Dutton, Sandy Dlugozima and Bob McGowan.
Thanks to Alfred...

Achievement Award

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.
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.
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.
