It’s not Dubai that’s at fault….it’s all these speculator’s that think somethins or might happen. Right now they are concerned “about sagging U.S. gasoline supplies ahead of the peak demand of the Northern Hemisphere summer”. Yet
“Gasoline and crude inventories dropped primarily because refiners are not really ordering crude oil and they are also holding back on operating rates because demand is weak,”. “The concerns about gasoline supply in the summer may be overdone.”
I noticed that Pat B. cannot join us for this week’s round due to a scheduled colonoscopy. When I turned 50, my primary care doc sent me a specialist named Alan Willis for that same procedure. Alan is from the well known Willis Wayside furniture family that have been in business for 3 generations. During my pre-operative interview with Alan, I asked him if I would receive a end-table as part of my package.
Thursday at Suffolk golf course my brief case was stolen out of my car. It was my fault for not locking my car(I thought I did) but this is a heads up to check your belongings and your car for missing items.
To the Golf League:
Monday, February 16th is Presidents Day. If no one is busy with home honey do’s, is a golf outing to Elizabeth City, “The Pines” a good idea for the League?
I got a “heads up” from Herb. Sleepy Hole is planning to aerate on Monday, March 23. I had hoped to schedule our next outing there to take advantage of the Lung Book which offers discounts for Sleepy Hole through March. So, it looks like I’ll be looking for another venue for next week. Any suggestions?
I saw in this morning’s newpaper (4/13) that a former NAVMASSO/SPAWAR Director, Will Bowers made a hole in one. It was on the 16th at Greenbrier, 121 yards using an 8 iron. I remember watching the old LPGA golf torney from Will’s deck, which backs up to the 16th hole. That worked out well. After Will made the hole in one, he could stop at his house and change his pants.
I propose that we split the league into 2 categories, Gross scoring and net scoring. Each player declares which
category they wish to participate in and the scoring is done according to that. We end up with a Gross Score Champion and a Net Score Champion.
This would give the lower handicap individuals a change without competing with the sandbaggers. Now, we would have to come up with a method
for scoring each Wednesday team round when you have Gross and Net individuals paired up, but lets kick it around. What do you think?

I would like it if for nothing else to take away the
Low vs Hi handicapper stigma away.
I have never liked shooting a 95 and taking money from someone who shot a 79 or an 85. That sucks.
(And no, Im not giving back the money, I usually buy beer for the guys anyway)
I just feel its unfair to a player who shot a good round. So maybe we should add a gross winner to the pot.
Hi handicappers will be complaining that someone could win both the gross and net in the same round. If someone does, hats of to that guy becuase he is shooting par or better for the course, and that’s damn good.
Good stuff to know!!! If you go to the Williamsburg National Web site and join their e-mail list for upcoming events, you can print out a coupon to play for free (cart fee only), 7 days on either side of your birthday (Proof required). Rudy and I joined today (August 19th and 23rd). I think Bill G. may have missed by a day?
Read a couple of good golf quotes and couldn’t help but identify them with some of our members:
He who has the fastest cart never has a bad lie.
My caddie suggested that if I really wanted to lower my score by 10 strokes, quit on hole 17.
I asked my caddie if I could reach the green with my 5-iron. He said “eventually”.
I’m not playing golf with my brother-in-law today. Would you want to play with a guy that improves his lie and cheats on his scorecard? Neither would he.
I only hit two good balls today – I step on a bunker rake.
A very bad golfer is playing at new course and he is having a very bad day.
He is on the 18th hole, and he see’s a lake.
He says to his caddy “I think I’m going to go drown myself in that lake”.
The caddy says” I don’t think you can, you can’t keep your head down that long
Hey Derek – You must be pretty happy after Oregon’s win last Saturday. It appears that when the Ducks wear their Green Bay-looking uniforms, they perform much better (still ugly, but better). Thanks for knocking off Cal. It helped move the HOKIES up to #6. Although I stood in the rain for the entire game, it was great to witness. Now get your worthless butt back to the states!!!!
One evening a husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife, ‘Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in ‘Slim Fast’. Maybe it would take a few inches off of your butt!’
His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couldn’t let such a comment go unrewarded.
The next morning the husband took a pair of underwear out of his drawer. ‘What the heck is this?’ he said to himself as a little ‘dust’ cloud appeared when he shook them out.
‘April’, he hollered into the bathroom, ‘Why did you put talcum powder in my underwear?’
She replied with a snicker. ‘It’s not talcum powder; it’s ‘Miracle Grow’!
You guys just never learn, do not tick off the woman.
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. It is sunny out today.)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke
——– Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is this: Ask the person to ‘stick’ out his tongue.. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
Anyone with an email address can receive invitations from Google Calendar, regardless of whether they use Google Calendar themselves.
When guests receive a Google Calendar invitation, they can select their attendance status or click “More event details” to be taken to an event page and check other guests’ attendance status and leave comments for the event.
If guests use a calendar application that supports the iCalendar format, they can use the iCalendar file attached to the invitation to display your event on their own calendar.

Dave Rademacher asked me to pass along: Golf Galaxy has a slightly used Titlest 907D1 Driver (9.5 degree) with a new shaft and grip for $80. Call him at 418-2205 for more info.
What’s up bitches???? I was just looking at the handicaps and noticed you all still suck!!! Afghanistan is still a shithole, but the living conditions are way better this time. If all my plans come together when I get back in late December early January I will be moving up there, I need the extra income I win from you scrubs!!! Hope all is well.

Thanks to a few guys unable to get in their 10 rounds and therefore falling to the bottom of the standings list, I’ve moved up from 23rd to 20th position! I think it’s too late to get into the Final Four, but it’s a start!!!!!
Anyone playing golf on 14Sep at Stumpy? I have signed up and I see Bob Coppock’s name. Please give me a call at 757 846-6024 if you are playing.
thanks,
Ron

I’m not sure your deduction is correct. It sounds like refineries (Big Oil) are driving prices up by restricting supply.

Give this a shot. best score was 6 under. http://www.cincinnati.com/golf/golfquiz/html/brand.htm
By Ron Williams, May 18, 2009 @ 7:16 am
Missed the one about the green jacket – scored 12 under. A couple of lucky guesses helped.

Nice job by the Hammer. Can anyone get to 13 under????
