2006 RULES
FORMAT
This years format will be BEST BALL/BEST SCORE for the front
nine and ALTERNATING
SHOT for the back nine.
ALTERNATING
SHOT
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.
PUTTING RULE
On the FRONT NINE ONLY there is a 3 putt maximum. If
you miss your 2nd putt...just pick it up and
give yourself a 3 putt...AND THE SNAKE
LIGHTWEIGHT
RULE
LightWeight
rule is in affect. Whomever has the highest individual score on front
nine for the two man team will be deemed the “Lightweight”. ONE of his
scores will be used on the front nine total. This hole will
be picked in a blind draw at the Awards Ceremony. This means you don't
know who wins until 9:00 Saturday night!! This is a VF&SE scoring
tradition!!
STRING
RULE
STRING RULE
WILL BE USED AGAIN IN 2006!!
7 ft of string will be given to each two-some. Use any
amount of string to "extend" your putt. Cut that amount
off. When it's gone...IT'S GONE!!
MAXIMUM
SCORE
(FRONT ONLY)
Double
Par is the MAXIMUM score you can post on any hole.
Back nine there is NO MAXIMUM
SNAKE PUTTING GAME!!-
"(Snake) is a putting game. The betting amount is $10 per
foursome. Whoever three-putts first in the foursome gets and keeps the 'snake'
until someone else three-putts, then it changes owner to that golfer ...
and so on. Whoever is the last with the snake pays $10 to the
"FUTILITY FUND". The two teams with the HIGHEST score on the
BACK NINE will "draw" for the "FUTILITY FUND"

2006 VF&SE Golf 'n
Grille
Hampton Golf Course
Cumming, GA
September 16, 2006
Rookie Phenom Max Galang Leads Way
To 2006 G'nG Men's Championship
Cumming, GA -- Fifteen
year old Max Galang made his Golf 'n Grille debut a memorable one as he
and dad Alfred shattered the 14 year scoring record by shooting an
eye-popping Team Total 69. Becoming the first father-son combo to
take the top honors in GnG history, the Galang duo sizzled for a back
nine 33 and took the championship going away. The diminutive
Galang put a big exclamation point on his round of golf for the day by
booming a 256 yard drive on the 18th hole to take the LONG DRIVE contest
also. Papa Alfred was golden all day on the short but pesky
Hampton Golf Course as he turned in a day-long low individual total of
36 on the front nine.
Men's Runner-Up
- Roger Borrello - Joe Belcher
Men's 3rd Place

Dotti Lackey
Captures Her 2nd
Women's GnG Title
Duluth, GA -- Dotti
Lackey, exhibiting the moxie we have come to have known in the Lackey
family, staved off a beautifully 9th-month pregnant Doreen Burbrink in
overtime to win her 2nd GnG Title. Lackey precariously
weaved her way through the elimination rounds
and survived an early onslaught of scoring slung her way by Jean Hughes
and Burbrink. "With my husband's past performances,
it was high time I took control of the trophy case. Somebody had to put
that 2nd GnG trophy
in our house", proclaimed the perky blonde.
Kaylee Rinesmith Wins 2006 Juniors
Championship
Duluth, GA -- Joining
dad Billy on the GnG Champions board, Kaylee Rinesmith ran roughshod
over a troup of junior competitors to win the 2006 GnG Juniors
Championship. Young Rinesmith, never at a loss for words, thanked
over 75 people during her record 17-minute acceptance
speech.

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.
