Update:
1. We are teeing off at 10:04 & 10:12 Let plan to arrive around 9:15 at the latest, hit some balls, and be at the first tee for a photo op at 9:50
2. Please leave time to sign autographs for the fans.
3. The mandatory shot of something Italian will be at the 9th tee
4. We will be using Quota Scoring. Bob A will be playing at a 36. Points will be awarded at the following based on gross scores: dlb or worse = 0, bogie = 1, par - 2, birdie = 4, eagle = 8. You will then subtract a number from your total that will be determined by subtracting your handicap from 36. If I bogie every hole I have 18 points. Since handicap is 19, I would subtract 17 points (figured by subtracting 36-19) from the 18 points, and contribute 1 point to the team score.
5. Couples dinner will hosted Billy’s house this year. Bill and Bob will do two main courses. David Picc and I will do apps. Salad, Deserts, Veggie will be assigned to everyone else. If you have a preference, speak up!
6. A bottle or two of wine is optional if you want to invited back next year. Not expensive… but not swill! If you need training wheels on this one, speak up for advice! BTW, If we put your bottle into front of your plate with a straw, you can assume you failed the challenge!
7. More to come!

I did throw up on my shoes... but we pulled through for Victory! Our team was fantastic, we all plus handicaps at the bar.
Much to talk about. First off RICC won the Donald Ross Cup! Second I was made the unofficial MVP by scoring the most individual points in any match, really! No, really, I made it up, I did score the most points but there was no MVP! But anyway, I using this platform to lobby for all Pots n Pans Players. We demand respect!
Warwick Country Club was beautiful. I have never played. The ocean scenery and magnificently sloped and racing greens were such a treat to play on. The only unusual thing is that Warwick has grass on their course. Grass, wow, how usual! Its small, thin, and green, and apparently grows abundantly. I wonder why Donald Ross decided to cover our course with a sand and weeds over a grub farm.
Well, it turned into an incredibly tight match. We just edging out the host club Warwick by 2 1/2 points. The members were wonderful hosts!
Me, I got some help from partner Craig Fisher on Monday afternoon. After a complete psycho-analysis he postulated that all my golf problems were directly related to the way I impose self inflicted pressure on myself during a match, to a point where my sphincter tightens and prevents a smooth and properly connected golf swing. He had three thoughts to relax me. First, an elephant sized quantity of Michael Jackson brand propofol. Second, an intravenous drip of 2001 Pride Claret. Third, a bowl of Grub Chowder! I went with all three and it really did make me relax, and it really did make a difference. I hope his services are covered by Blue Cross.
So here is the scoring. I played 3 matches against three people from three clubs at the same time. 1 point for the front, 1 point for the back, 2 points for the total match. 4 points per match x 3 matches equals 12 possible points. Of the 6 nine hole matches I won one by 3, and 5 matches by only one point. Think about it...down to one freaking point in 5 matches! SO... FU to all you pricks that think I am a sandbagger. I am simply a golf mental patent.

Finally, I was given the Donald Ross Trophy to display in my home for my 12 points. My response to that, three fold; eventually the blind squirrel finds a nut... and second, calling hours are 4-6pm... and finally, Cheryl, sorry about the racing stripes in the tighty whities.
If you cant purchase tickets to see the trophy before its sold out... here is a pic... set wonderfully in a pots and pans motif!

Reminder: Order new tighty whities!
I was just invited to participate in the Donald Ross Cup for the second year in a row. This is where four clubs, all designed by Donald Ross, compete in eight man teams, head to head, for the trophy. I was invited last year, did pretty well, but went through more bvd's than golf balls. Link to that nightmare is here http://mygolfnightmare.blogspot.com/2010/10/nightmare-on-main-street-my-first-hole.html
This year is at Warwick Country Club I will bring more tighties!

Talk about a newspaper victory...
... I stumbled home yesterday with an ugly 94... (thank god there were not cameras), but 4 pars on the back nine combined with Dan Cregan's round to post the best two ball score of 64. I can't say that made me feel any better about my front nine 50! URGH!
