Senior Games Tourney, Crane Hill, Sunday, June 11!

[Davis Johnson]

FIRST RESPONSE ALERT!! Once again, Crane Hill will be host to a Massachusetts Senior Games competition, Sunday, June 11, 2017. Age groups are in increments of 5 years, starting at 40. Gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded in each age group. Imagine standing victoriously atop our podium, what remains of the chip mound at Hole 1, to the stirring anthem of "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha! Ha!", as a medal is hung around YOUR neck...

There will be two rounds with a players' meeting starting at 9:00; tee-off around 9:15. Sign up link to be posted soon. Only 30 bucks or so for the day, so good for a cheap date.

SENIORS!! You've got several months to REV UP THOSE JOINTS! with your joint medications. Then it's "Gentle Persons, start your engines!" (clunk, clunk, clunk..) for a fun day of slow turnovers, and half-hukked hyzers.

This is a good way to introduce disc golf in a friendly, down key way to an older population, so spread the word and see you there-- no lame excuses!

Davis, that looks like last year's link for registration.

I've got the white guys can't jump...

Jumping jack blues.

Does one have to play in the age bracket they are eligible? Or could one play down to a "younger" division.

[Davis Johnson]

The "Ponce de Leon, Fountain of Youth" ploy.... Good question...

[Davis Johnson]

O.K.; this is just around the corner! Senors! Have you registered??

(Did you register and then forget?? We have a "First Response" App to remind you. Please go to http://www.Dunnoifididitornotmaybe.org. and download your Shady Acres Memory Tazer. It's free and guaranteed to prod you in the right place to keep you in the no!)

Crane Hill awaits you! An unforgettable time is planned for all if you can only remember.

[Davis Johnson]

I forgot to remember...to forget her...

"Stopping by Numerous Bathrooms on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frosted:

Who's loo this is
I think I know
his two-seater is in the village though.
he will not see me stopping here
as I attempt to achieve the flow.

The pit is lovely, dark and deep
but I have promises to keep
many stops to go before I sleep
many stops to go before I sleep

9:00 "First Response" players' meeting
9:15 First round

There's still time to sign up-- in fact, right about to tee off time. It's going to be hot and beautiful and freshly mowed- Crane Hill at its best! Looking froward to seeing all comers--
