Title: Any golfers out there?
Post by: weggieman on March 24, 2008, 06:39:47 PM
I plan to do the Red Flag golf outing. Anyone else?

Even though I would never do a golf outing for the Wegman Fund, I will join the festivities for the Red Flag Fund.

I don't golf, but I do enjoy golf cart shenanigans.
Is there optional insurance??

Let's see if I've got the order straight.  Golf club, country club, night club, strip club.  Shortcuts are allowed.

Hey, Jeff!
I have an idea for this.  Everyone could put a dollar in for each golfer you hit with a paintball.

I have abetter idea, we could put Jeff out on the first fairway and for $1 we could see who could hit him with a golf ball.

There you go Gordie! That sounds like a great idea. I have never golfed, but I am willing to put in 10 bucks to take whacks at hitting Jeff! I guess he could even wear a helmet if he wanted to...

Edgar has no balls therefore he can't golf.  Anyway I hear the beer cart girls are cute, I believe some of them even work at Schwarz' at night.

LOL...  I'd say "Game On", but I saw my brother bean some geezer in the short ribs with a shot that bounced off a rock.  He fell like a lead balloon!  At first I thought he was dead.  Then he flew into a rage letting loose a string of words that you just don't expect from a guy that looks like he's 110 years old.

Thanks to your sharp teeth! :)


Hmm, Schwarz girls... that place is nothing but trouble! I wonder if they can hook us up? :)

Come on Jeff, just wear your old racing gear! How much can a little golf ball hurt?

Jen put the kabash on me being your golf ball target for money.  We're remodeling the house and if she spends $20k on pegging me with golf balls we'll be stuck with crappy capet & bathrooms...

Gentleman Only, Ladies Forbidden

Not actually true tho; comes from Scottish(Irish? wherever the game came from) that means strike or hit (think it it would be similar to bat, as in use a object to hit with)
Title: Re: Any golfers out there?
Post by: weggieman on March 30, 2008, 12:48:46 AM
Actually from the Scottish "gouf" or of the Dutch word "colf", meaning stick, club or bat.

Hoping to secure some big-name AMA pros when we head to Infineon in May...
Title: Re: Any golfers out there?
Post by: weggieman on April 07, 2008, 08:04:33 PM
I understand but we need the other folks also. And it's only two months away so no, it's not too early to sign up.
Title: Re: Any golfers out there?
Post by: Jeff on April 08, 2008, 02:13:23 PM
Yep, absolutely agree Gordy!  I'm guessing that people are waiting to see who signs up, but once a few big names do, it will likely sell out quick.  I wouldn't wait...

Just picked up 3 new sponsors today:

Automation Systems International - Thanks Dave Gygax!
Nashotah Garage - Thanks Tommy G!
Van Horn Automotive - Thanks Chuck VanHorn!

Things are shaping up fairly nicely.  Going to be a bit smaller than we had hoped, but that just means the prizes will be shared by fewer people right?!?  Miguel DuHamel is signed up which is pretty exciting.  Hoping to see more last-minute sign-ups at Road America.

If you're on the fence, get off it and let me know! :-)

Cheers!

There is no fence on this......either do it or don't but if you're going to LET HIM KNOW!!!

Post by: Jeff on June 18, 2008, 11:24:03 AM
It's a bit late, but would like to take a second to really THANK the folks who came out to golf, and who sponsored the event.

We ultimately had a great event.  The rain held off for us, to the point that I actually got sunburned!!!  We raised ~$8k with this event and had a fantastic time.  Miguel, Kevin Hanson, Gordy & Laurel, Greg White, Doc Boll, etc etc etc... Everyone who showed up was absolutely great...  Thank you all!!!  I look forward to a bigger and better event in 09!

Hey, I even managed to win some swag.......... as they say, "It's sometimes better to be lucky than good".

Had a great time even though Miguel was stolen out from under us at the last minute by Wiechel and Hanson.
