“The more I practice, the Luckier I get”

The day was glorious, with a strong field of participants, everyone came with high hopes and dreams, but only one would walk away with the Pantelon de Niege Jug and this year that one golfer, was Hicksee with a 78.
At one time Snowpants was leading the tournament …but Hicksee came in and took it with a cool 78…Snowpants ended up second …winning $660,000
Returning Champion of the Tomcat Golf Open and winning his second …extremely prestigious Pantelon De Niege Jug …Hicksee.
Snowpants had been leading all day, but Hicksee poured it on on the last few holes, driving the green on the par 4 – 17th, but then getting a boogey on the par 5 – 18th, but in the end, Hicksee won by 4 strokes. Beating out Snowpants who finished with 82. “I probably played one of the best rounds of my life, it is disappointing to not win, but hell, Hicksee deserves the win and the Pantelon de Niege Jug”. stated Snowpants the Minister of Golf, Score Keeping and Pyrotechnics. And Speaking of Pyrotechnics, the round was started, with Snowpants setting off a large firecracker, that made a loud bang and let the Golf World know that the Tomcats Golf Outing was in town.
Speaking of Snowpants, he did a super terrific job organizing the event, from customized score cards, to a beautiful prize table, with rewards going to closest to the pin on two holes and one for the longest drive. “I have to say, I am very very impressed on how awesome Snowpants did with the tournament, he deserves all the credit”. stated Rocky.
Snowpants was awarded with a nice prize from the Tomcats, (Donated by Hicksee) a bottle of Rye made by Forty Creek.
Sutton Creek deserves a huge kudos as well from the Tomcats for doing such a great job on pin placements, the hospitality at the club house, the score cards and of course the leader board on the t.v.. “This is really something”, Stated the Turk, “I love how they do that, it is very cool”. All scores were posted on the t.v. for all Tomcats and fans in the Club House to see.
A special presentation was also made, spear headed by Razor, the Tomcats got together and bought Stevo a beautiful professional tour golf bag which would be the envy of any golfer.
Rocky as the New President of the Tomcats presented Stevo the out going retiring President with a beautiful Golf Tour Bag…Stevo was memorized and could not believe what the Tomcats had done for him ….he still is speechless.
The Golf bag has Stevo’s name embroidered on the bag along with the Tomcat logo. “I am pretty sure I saw Stevo’s eyes well up when that golf bag came out, he was totally surprised and taken back by it”. Noted Soupy.
“I really can’t believe the boys did that for me, Razor I have been told deserves a good portion of the credit for Championing the cause, but I thank each and every Tomcat for the beautiful gift, I will think of everyone every time I use the golf bag, she is a beauty, I will bring it to the first night of hockey, for all to see and touch my bag”. Stated Stevo.
“We really wanted to do something for Stevo, for all the work he has put in for the Tomcat over the past 28 years, Rocky said it best when he said, if it wasn’t for Stevo and his passion for the Tomcats we would not be here today celebrating in a round of golf and having all the very strong friendships that we have”. Finished Razor.
