Welcome Hooks. I’m looking forward to lots of banter, fun free beer for the
first three or four rounds whilst you receive never ending excuses on the
delivery of lost your shirt.
Docho (which is short for Docente Ocho which is 28 in a fairly rare dialect
whiting the Spanish language).

Hooks/Welcome. We’re more than pleased to have you aboard, especially when
contemplating the free booze we’ll be consuming until your shirts arrive.
Truth be known, they may have already arrived but that in no way modulates
the time frame for onward transition to you, as you suspected…
A bit of SOGAGG protocol:
o We could care less about convention
o It’s all about Fun, Frivolity and Friendship
§ Golf is just the medium that brings us together to enjoy each other’s
company
· We take care of each other
o Because this group needs a LOT of care
· We have no organizational structure
o We’re all peers
§ With equal status
· Which is totally different than “standing,” of which we have none
· We have no rules
o Well, we do have one
§ Whomever wins the round, buys the round
· The “losers” tend to look up on the shelf and purchase the most
expensive libation being offered
o Even if we don’t like it (because it’s free, you see)
o Okay, we do have maybe yet another
§ Any SOGAGGer who shows up at an outing out of uniform, buys the round
· Please see the two sub-bullets above under the first rule
· You must be prepared to “dish it out” and “take it” in copious
amounts
o Not to do so will be taken as a sign of weakness
§ You will be sent to a “re-education camp” in either Coronado or Mission
Hills for calibration
· Have you ever been in a Turkish prison…?
· Your call sign is never guaranteed to remain as is
o Your actions, the result of your actions, those actions that may be taken
against you, or unwarranted gossip about you can change it
§ It will be done in secret and you will not become aware of it until your
new shirts are presented
· The presenter will be accompanied by an armed guard, packing heat
o So, don’t try anything cute
· This is a classified SOGAGG document
o It carries the security level of “Burn Before Reading”
§ There are strong penalties for non-compliance
· Have you ever been in a Turkish prison…?
There’s more Hooks, but we save some back in order to get free booze by
penalizing you for those of which you are not aware of. It’s our way of
saying we’re really pleased you’ve joined us.
Buckle up sir, you’re now part of the family.
Cheers,
/Ace

Subject: [sogagg] Distinct Honor and Privilege - Ahem/Amen
Dear Mr. Robbins, We regret to inform you that your application to Harvard
has been rejected, and we do not wish to discuss why nor do we wish to ever
have contact with you again. Goodbye !
Oops, sorry, wrong letter, but right Mr. Robbins.
Dear Mr. Robbins, On behalf of the esteemed Society of Golfers Against Good
Golf (SOGAGG), it is my distinct honor and privilege to announce that the
"members", after much contemplation and discussion, have awarded you your
extraordinary and appropriate SOGAGG Name.
HOOKS … Congratulations. This name for eternity will emblazon your three
"soon to be delivered" SOGAGG golf shirts which you will wear with
exceptional pride at all future SOGAGG events (not all three at once, but the
one color singled out for each event).
Ace, our "visionary leader", will no doubt, slowly (very very slowly) let you
know some of our traditions that are associated with great golfing and great
post golf celebrations.
Rules, our "keep us honest", handicap manager, will let you know how to
establish and maintain your current handicap … Ghin, Ghif, Ghost, Gory,
Gneiss .. one of the above.
HOOKS .. that name has kind of a ring to it … one can envision the launch
angle and direction of your drive at the first hole and with you as a right
handed golfer, seeing that ball explode off the tee box, 116 mph swing speed,
22 degree launch angle, 1528 spin rate and then, seeing it initially start
powerfully down the middle of the fair way and then, oh dear, then as the
closed club face begins to effect the ball flight, it begins to turn to the
left, slowly at first, then rapidly accelerating to the left, high and left,
very high and very left …. and then landing dead center in the lake bounding
the fairway (to the left).
HOOKS, the perfect name for high left ball flight and also simultaneously
perfect for fishing in that lake, or any body of water, fresh or salt. You
get it by now, I'm sure.
Welcome, welcome, welcome HOOKS to as fine a bunch of folks and mediocre
golfers as was ever assembled. You will love the ride. WOXOF
