The Gordon’s Gin league is now a travel golf league. It’s like travel ball hockey, but better.
It was a hot day at the Sutton Creek Golf and Country Club where the gallery was packed and rowdy anticipating the stars from the Gordon’s Gin Golf League. “The growlers were real smelly today”, said a sweaty Sea Lion after shooting a course record 65.
Other scores were May Day 98, Chevy and Cribzee 69, Stevo 70, Bunny 71 and Soupy with a solid 72. “I was in the rough all day”, said Mayday. “It didn’t help the club was slipping out of my hand in most of my shots on the back 9”.
Bunny, who has been hitting the ball as good as any time in his career is a welcome addition to the league. Bunny is the career leader in winnings in the French Tour that plays in Quebec and Hollywood Florida.
Chevy was hitting the ball a country mile was impressive. “I owe it all to my coach Stevo. He is that little voice inside of my head telling me to take an easy swing”. “The woods are filled with balls from long hitters”, said Stevo.
The guys missed tour standout Bundura. “My air conditioner was not operating to maximum capacity and I had to get a crew in and take care of it. I was so pumped to play but I had to take care of this”, said an obviously disappointed Bundura. Fans were sending in photos of 12 Farhal trucks parked at the Bundura’s mansion in Ruthven.
On the ride in the Sea Lion, Stevo and May Day were talking about the upcoming provincial election. All three of the fellas understand provincial issues better than the candidates in this year’s election. “I am completely sick of single mothers”, said May Day who is not a fan of free daycare, tuition or dental. “I like the buck a beer angle”, said Stevo. The Sea Lion, who is the league’s biggest socialist said the NDP leader looked a lot better about ten years ago. “I am sure she liked the pork sword back in the day”, said the Sea Lion.
