KD,
There you go. They say a pix is a 1000 words and our talented Woods recalled
the Kodak moment in about 15 words “the sight of the clubs, bag, cart, wallet,
and water bottle floating on the scummy water”
Woods,
A perfect recollection, and surely seared into your brain as KD has described,
I apologize to you and Birdie for any sleepless nights. I was super lucky my
keys barely stayed in the half zipped pocket of my golf bag and that I was able
to get to my barely floating wallet. Some people win big in Vegas, I beat the
scummy water swamp bog odds of getting to my wallet before sinking and finding
my keys in the half zipped pocket and they even worked.
The only casualties were my pride and Calloway range finder now with speckled
swamp residual that will not go away, if it still works. I think the battery
shorted out. Perhaps it might even work, albeit speckled, with a new battery :-)
You and Birdie were champs allowing me to play with you the rest of the day
despite my squishy shoes, swamp bog smell, seeing my speedo, and allowing me to
hit out of a swamp bank, 12 or so holes later, in the same round.
My lessons learned (1) don’t wear your striped yellow and green speedos out
golfing just in case you don’t set the brake on your pull cart and have to
recover belongings from a scummy water swamp bog and (2) no matter what zipper
it is, it is probably best to have it pulled shut :-)
Surely a round I will never forgot.
Love my SOGAGG familia!

Swamp,
I will always regret not having had a camera handy at that crucial moment of
total immersion. Truly, the sight of the clubs, bag, cart, wallet, and water
bottle floating on the scummy water is burned into my memory. Equally vivid,
though, is your total commitment to carrying on. You waded into the water,
recovered gear, wrung out clothes, inventoried keys, cards, and phone, and
in short order, were back in the game. Should such a disaster ever happen to
me, I will strive to emulate your aplomb.
Congrats on a well-earned call sign.

KD,
Even I have to admit it was ugly. Pix under lock and key. Would be viral

“Swamp”,
I will regret to my very last days on this earth the fact that I missed
seeing you emerge from that smelly bog on such an historic day -- a day
that is indelibly burned into the memories of so many of our distinguished
colleagues.
The only saving grace for me is the coincidental (and blissful) opportunity
to avoid what undoubtedly will be years of professional therapy that is
going to be the destiny for so many of our hapless golf brethren who will be
spending countless sleepless nights trying to “unsee” a certain striped
green and yellow speedo….. (PLEASE…., no need to forward pictures…..).
On second thought – am ok with all of this….. J
Anyway -- Congratulations and all the best,
KD

Ace,
I thought that I wrung out my pants where no one could see my speedo. I do
apologize to my grouping for the sustained injuries due to belly laughs and
rolling on the ground and to the fowl for the fowl words. My hepatitis just
cleared from the semi-toxic water just in time for Covid
Sounds like I will be purchasing beer not being in the uniform of the day
with a wrong Call Sign. Hope it takes as long to get my shirts as it does
for TBD Carl.
Thank you for sharing the official declaration of historic nature. I am
going to have to have a long talk with Petey now to retire the shirt. I
assume line outs with initials will not suffice for being in proper attire.
Carl,
Please go to the following site - freelists.org/list/sogagg. Enter email(s)
that you would like to send and receive SOGAGG email from, subscribe, and
verify confirmation email. Let me know if you get stuck.
Welcome to SOGAGG!

OB,
Your SOGAGG colleagues wish to provide you news of an historic nature.
DECLARATION
Having spent the past five weeks in secret discussions relative to your
“unfortunate incident” while participating in a fully sanctioned SOGAGG
outing at Oaks North Golf Course and:
Whereby you, having disregarded the laws of nature and, ultimately standard
hygiene caused a perfectly good golf cart (and related contents) to roll
into a reportedly semi-toxic body of water, and
Whereby a large number of fowl present at the time on the surface of the
water were both fouled and traumatized by your loud and foul language, and
Whereby several members of your group sustained injuries associated with
this incident via pulled muscles while either laughing, rolling on the
ground, or both, and
Whereby you having removed your trousers to wring them out displayed a green
and yellow candy-striped Speedo with markings reading “Mr. Carlsbad Beach
Stud, Sixth Place, 1998,”
Therefore, it is proclaimed that we, the remaining members of SOGAGG do
hereby declare your “OB” call sign null and void and award you the new and
far more appropriate call sign of “Swamp.”
New shirts will be ordered and you will be expected to present yourself
attired in your new gear, even if they have not yet been delivered. It’s
expected that you are well aware of the penalty for not doing so.
You having been a Society member for many years will fully understand that
life’s experiences tend to create shifts of this sort. The Society felt
this decision relative to your “event” shall be classified as “a no-brainer.”
Yours in the Society’s constant quest for everlasting embarrassment of its
members, I am,
/Ace
