MA Senior Games Tournament-- Crane Hill, Sunday, June 15

[Dan Hale]

We have extended online registration until Friday to discourage day of sign ups.

With the MA Senior Games competitors receiving t-shirts and such we would prefer to have everyone pre-reg for this event. The long term forecast looks great for the weekend so no one should procrastinate. Tell your "friend" that the early bird gets the worm. Your nephew should have already passed this info on to you, as he asked me the same question two weeks ago and I told him the same thing.

[Davis Johnson]

I would love to come and help out Davis, as long as I do not have family/father's day stuff going on.

Glad to have you there, Julie, if it works out. Hope you're mending well!

[Steve Hartwell]

Steve and Joy are in - looking forward to geezer golf!

[Bill_MacWilliams]

Looks like it's going to be a nice day.

[Sandy Redd]

hey dan. is this a NEFA event.

[Dan Hale]

No Sandy this is not a NEFA event. Not sure why it says pending since we will not be offering all the divisions necessary to meet the NEFA criteria.

[Davis Johnson]

Course is looking mighty spry for all the oldsters. Been mowed, thanks to Ken Wagner, and all the sign posts are in, thanks to a diverse crew in support of
Steve Teerlink's Eagle Scout project. The posts are a dark green which blend well with the course.

There is of course the little matter of the actual signs to contend with. Because we are being sponsored by First Alert, it is in our best interest to have a bunch of wandering, disoriented oldsters wandering about-- ("Help me; I've fallen and I can't get up!")-- so the signage probably won't appear until after the tournament.

**Correction: We'll have temp signage in place**

SO for those on the fence:
1) Maintain your balance
2) Go get a physical
3) Sign up!
4) Bring along your next of kin so we won't have to call them
5) A splendid time is guaranteed for for all! (both here, and should it come to that, in the hereafter)

[Dan Hale]

Great Freudian slip on that one Davis, but Steve is Ben's father, and even though it seems to me that Steve wants the Eagle scout badge slightly more than his son Ben, it is Ben's scout project.


The pre-reg list has also been updated.


As of now it looks like we will be playing two rounds on the shorter layout.

[Todd Eddy]

It would be unconscionable to not let Marcus play.

PLAYERS MEETING AT 9:25


Our tentative schedule for the day is as follows:
9:25-9:40 players meeting
9:45 First Round Tees off
12:00 Lunch
12:10 Geritol distribution
12:20 A word from our title sponsor "Depends"
12:30 cane and walker tune up for round 2
12:40-1:00 Prune Juice Bar
1:00 Round 2
3:30 awards

I will have a local shop deliver lunch. Most likely pizzas and subs.

[Michael Morin]

hey dan -

very thoughtful to distribute Geritol between rounds. I'll have to bypass as Geritol upsets my tummy. I prefer Centrum 50+ chewables anyhow....

gonna be a fun event!

Wouldn't it be more prudent to have the prune juice bar at the start of the break? The middle of round 2 would be a terrible time for the juice to "take effect".

[Titan_Bariloni]

should the "magic lantern" be alerted that a rowdy bunch of old men are gonna be close by?

[Ed Faits]

Industrial sized bottle of ADVIL and lots of ice after the first 18 would be nice.

[Davis Johnson]

These jokes are starting to hurt as much as my joints.

[Davis Johnson]

Old man trash-talk-- "I will crutch you!"

[Davis Johnson]

Miscellaneous notes:

*Because of a combination of forgetfulness and embellishment issues, each group will be REQUIRED to be accompanied by a score keeper of 35 years of age or younger.

*Hospice care will be available after each round

*Please remember you progress FORWARD through a disc golf course, as opposed to your reverse mortgage.

*Courtesy rules require that if the group ahead of you has stopped in its progress, that you go gently wake them up. This will help with speed of flow.

*DNF's will be awarded a certificate of Honorable Discharge.

*Same for those with Leaky Bladder Syndrome

*Last but not least, The Springfield Republican is giving us a tournament special of half off for death notices.

*So if you can't buy the farm, at least buy the paper!

[Joseph Mason Proud, III]

Hello?


Q Tips?


Did you actually remember to do this?

[Davis Johnson]

Joseph... I was going to ask you the same. You were missed! Packages of Depends type garments as CTG prizes. A fine time was had by all, though some of us think it was just our imaginations.

[Ken Gary]

Thanks Dan Hale and all the Crane Hill crew that helped put on this event. Crane has really drawn a loyal, dedicated following and it shows in the improvements in that course each time I play. Great groups all day and beautiful weather contributed to a really enjoyable event. Looking forward to doing it again.

[Rob Walker]

Are the results being snail-mailed to the forum?

Where can I sign up?

[Dan Hale]

resluts are in...thank you Lick for the scoreport!

[Davis Johnson]

Is my vision truly failing, or are those results truly inscrutable? (Cool Hand Luke: "What we have here is a failure to communicate!")

[Dan Hale]
