Team # 1.   One of the favorite’s lead by two of last years winners the famous or infamous team DINO. Ken “FAIRWAY” MACRAE will try to muffle the nay sayer’s with his big driver while Bobby “THE ANTI-BLAIR” Dunn’s  little putter [we’ve all seen it] could hit the jackpot. Mike “POPEYE”  Chiasson , noted for his slam drunk finishes could “smoke’m if he’s got em’.Last on this tough foursome is Robbie “ROAD RAGE” Youden. If he can handle the curves that this Great course can throw at him, and finish it in under THREE YEARS, then the sky’s the limit.

Team#2   Strong contender, these boys will be out to prove that having two knobs on the squad won’t slow them down. Bobby “I PROMISED” Murphy and Brendan “cid” Macneil are finally coming out of  “THE CUBBY-HOLE “  and once their eyes adjust to the sunlight , look out! Glen “OLD COUNTRY” Martin may have an adjustment period with his new clubs since they are left-handed. Finally Robert “BIBS” Latham [recently amputated from Greg Macleod] could be the straw that stirs this teams drink, or the one that broke the camels back.

Team # 3   This team is up against it , handicapped  in too many ways for this report to mention., but we will touch on a few. Lead by Donald “SHAKESPEAR “  MacDonald, a very  competent  golfer ,that has poor command of the English language and could jeopardize  his teams fortunes if allowed to speak , write or use sign language to communicate  with anyone other than the local flora and fauna [plants and animals].Almond “J.J” .MacDonald  though well spoken , lacks experience but is capable of  going on a roll and supplying the juice that this engine will run on .Richard “DICK NEWCAMBELLTON DICK”  Smith’s game is still growing but if it bloom’s  then they may burn up the course. Oh ya, now for the handicap. Thay arr allawed tree drivs: butt for pots.  [tanks for the help Don.]

Team # 4   Always capable Mike “DADDY WARBUCKS” Murphy will have to invest all of his abilities to ensure this group of knobs and rookies stock doesn’t fall. Jimmy “JAM” Dunn , well rested after his lengthy stay at the world famous KNOBHILL CLINIC , is hoping his game is not as lame as last years excuses. Eric “THE RED “ MacNeil  , son of former champ Doug MacNeil [or brother, if you buy that one] is back for another Crack,oops ,try at the cup .Finally Jim “CHISSY” Chisholm, a rookie [and a mainlander] ,will learn first hand that the road to glory is indeed paved with hard work and booze .Enjoy my new friend , and play well[ie…your guitar].

 Team # 5                Now here’s an odd group with an outside chance ,  though much will depend  upon Doug “THE ADMIRAL” MacNeil, a strong  finisher last year, who is in a race with father time and losing. Shaun “CLIPPER” MacDonald  will keep this bunch well groomed and entertained with his party favours . Back after a year sabbatical to Knobville  Craig “NOT SO HARRY” Buckland will definitely add some savoir-faire .Rounding out this group is rookie John “YOU KNOW HIS NICKNAME” Muise, a great communicator, he should be able to push the right buttons to help this team dial in.

Team # 6   Contenders? Maybe. Much will depend on whether Greg “M.C. HAMMERED” MacLeod  finds it easier to carry Hines, who is much lighter than  his previous appendage Latham. Joey “TRAMP” Martell noted for his long driver, err , drives,   will be called upon for hit after hit after hit [oh, wow ,man] . Wally “THE HACK” Hines could pitch in on the front nine , but tends to self-destruct on the back nine [or ten beers] . If the team falters Larry “SLOW DRIVE” Dunn  will be pressured to come  up with some good lies!

FOOT NOTES: Gordie  MacVicar  was to be the fourth man on team # 3 but it was deemed he wasn’t the right caliber of player.

All puns are intentional, no names were changed to protect the innocent.

Good luck to all. And look out for each other.[especially me.]

Yours Truly
Gus.
