Well gentlemen now that the pilgrimage to Myrtle Beach is filed away in our memories, let me leave you with a few thoughts that may tickle your fancy.
March 22
Departing Virginia Beach Lenny was so excited to get this adventure started that he forgot his suitcase. He then began to supplement the local economy by purchasing an entire new wardrobe.
The teams met up in the Timlin’s, Kalocay and Sharp (526) room to gather materials and a few welcoming drinks and snacks.
March 23
The team of Mike Booth, Roger Wardell, Dennis O’Meara and Dan Murphy were so laid back that got to Prestwick a half hour late for their tee time. They learned today!!!!!!!!, but they ended up claiming last place money on a Dave Tisza error.
Dave Tisza forgot to set the closest to the pin marker on hole #8, because no one on his team landed on the green. He figured if they didn’t get on no one would.
We all gather in the Brion, Thompson, Blake and Fogelsonger (1126) room for a well put together and extremely inviting hospitality room for an evening of drinks and food not to mention the amount of lies told by fellow golfers.
March 24
Jim Haynie scores an ace on hole #6 on the MacKay course and treated everyone to drinks and hors d’oeuvres at Overtime. Thanks Jim was it worth the $20.00 claimed.
everyone celebrated the day’s events at Umberto’s with drinks, gift bags and excellent food.
March 25
a weary group of golfers attack the courses of Arrowhead.
room 520 wins the basketball pool by flipping a coin.
as a closing ceremony room 1126 once again provide the group with a farewell happy hour filled with laughter, fun and discussion of the day’s golf along with drinks and food.
March 26
The troops leave Myrtle Beach very tired and worn out from a long weekend of fun, comraderies and golf.
