A quote from Ben

I play with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.

Ben was right. A Dink, but right. The Jackal will not be joining the Men's Club this summer. Golf will be played but on a more limited basis. I will play with friends or with you assholes and I do not plan on giving anyone strokes this year. If you wish to continue getting shots I suggest clubs such as Fox Hollow or Wall Street offer ample opportunity to earn money with less than stellar performance.

I understand the 'El Fuzzo being called an asshole..easy connection...but after all we've been through in Men's Clubs over the years, not to mention you are the Godfather to Ferrett Jr...to be linked in the same sentence...that really cuts. The aforementioned asshole shows up 2 years ago and decides to name a tour after himself (no ego there) and only plays when it's convenient and bitches consistently to boot...has he ever bought a drink for anyone? No one put a gun to his head and said he had to join.

Regarding the upcoming season,I too, am considering my options. With two little Ferrets at home, priorities could shift...not just with finances, but time committment as well.

Finally, I am ok with not being given strokes as I am not above buying an adult beverage for a playing partner...more often than not, he will usually pick-up the next round.

The Asshole comment was directed at the the giant fuzz ball as well. 'Fuzz Ball' not only refers to his girth, (even though he has shrunk it with the dramatic diet. He will inevitabley return the poundage over the ensuing years due to his genetic predisposition to saturated fat) but the lint that resides in his pocket at the mere sight of a bar tab.

Don't read to much into the gruff language of the Jackal. It is due to two things: Advancing age and getting syched for the upcoming season.

Well well well ladies of the hippie generation. My fur maybe fuzzy because of the cold dry weather but I still can bite back.
In regards to the paying for drinks, it is not my fault that you lose a lot and have to pay up at the end of the day.
As I have said in the past and I will repeat again today, practice=less drink buying, look into it.
Watching Tiger on Sunday doesn't count. What might, I say might, count is watching the Champions tour. Those guys swing more like you hun-yucks. (see last post of a perfect reverse pivot)
Complaining on the course? That is my thing, like the Jackal constantly talking, I won't stop doing it. Unless we played at....nope doesn't matter I'll still do it.
I'm sad that the tour will move locations, but not really. We can finally have a real event at a real course, or a goofy event at a goofy course. Either way, the lint in my pockets will not be coming out any time soon.
