“The Gin League is flourishing and Kobassa Open a new event is great to see.” Commissioner May Day
This past Monday, not a star studded cast on the MGGL (Mister Gordon Golf League) aka the Dirty Growler league, except of course, for PGA Professional Sea Lion. Others who played this week were Nature Boy, Chevy and Stevo. “It is like on the PGA tour, after a big event like the Players or the Masters, the big boys don’t play the week after. That is the case this week, the Kobassa Open had everyone out on Friday, but today in league play there was slim Pickens except for the Sea Lion of course,” Indicated Chevy.
Sea Lion was on fire today and had an incredible round. He shot a 79.
Scores this week, Sea Lion 79, Chevy 93, Nature Boy 94 and Stevo 95.

The first ever, 2 man scramble, Kobassa Open was played on Friday, 9 teams competed for first place and a grand prize. Before I tell you about the golf, let me tell you about the gorgeous day…sunny with not a cloud in the sky. Smiles on the golfers faces, as they arrived, seeing everyone was a joyous event. “it was truly a delightful day’l stated The Rake.
Sheep Dog worked on the course for a bit before the round started…”yeah well…I didn’t like where one of the tee boxes were, so I wanted to change it for the Tomcats to have an easier shot to the green on this particular par 3,” stated Sheep Dog and added, “Who loves you?”

One request for next year came from the Bundura and the Sheepdog, “we did not have our greatest day on the golf course golfing, we had a blast playing, so we would like to be teammates next year’” Indicated Sheep Dog.
Stevo indicated that he wanted to thank everyone who participated and wanted to once again thank May Day for providing the Kobassa, The Bundura for Providing the sausage, (Jeff’s Meat 1030 Walker Road), The Rake for providing the salads and for BBQ’ing in the hot hot sun and to the Howler for providing a vegetable tray. “It was a first time event, in the middle of summer and yet people signed up and played and I thank them for doing that.” When asked if there will be a Kobassa Open next year, “Most definitely, I think everyone had fun on the course with their playing partner and back at the celebration after, all I heard was laughter, singing and everyone was upbeat and cheerful, how can you not want to repeat something like that.”

Highlight
I was not privy to an ‘inside joke’ of the Tomcats, there was something said about ’Nine Second Dave’, it received a large amount of laughter. I tried to ask, but was told to get lost but one person said, “Nine Second Dave’ has not been brought up in a while, it was great to hear that come up again, old memories just make you smile sometimes”, the person said with a large grin, and asked not to be mentioned.
While you are checking out all the photos and thinking to yourself, ‘what a great bunch of people!”…. do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
