SOGAGGers, In recognition of the low standards that we have established under
ACE's vision and leadership (and maintain with pride), I wish to place into
nomination a locally born, raised and "currently living" in San Diego "avid yet
mediocre" golfer.
His name is Carl Robbins. He was born to his unlucky parents over 60 years ago
here in San Diego. In school, his grades were poor at best but he was an All
County Middle Linebacker and he somehow graduated. Instead of going to Stanford
on a Football Scholarship, he went to San Diego State on a Fishing Scholarship.
After he graduated with a degree in Fisheries Management, he went to sea as a
NOAA Fishing Observer with the local Tuna Fleet. There he learned his now famed
fishing skills. He is truthfully THE FINEST fisherman, fresh or salt water I
have ever met. He is also a world class diver and underwater photographer,
having swam and solo filmed large sharks, whales and other slimy salt water
creatures.
To support his fishing and diving and developing golf excesses, he actually
took a job with the US Government and for many years, would tell one office he
was at the other office, while, in truth, he was fishing or diving or golfing
somewhere else. Just ask Rules.
What may get his nomination "over the top" or at least luke-warm consideration
in my warped mind, is that Carl, over many many years, has purchased excessive
amounts of the most expensive and inexpensive golf related gizmos and gadgets
all guaranteed to improve his golf game as probably anyone on Earth. They have
all failed.
I quietly asked Carl a number of months ago what he thought of the SOGAGG Gang
.. and he said, "NOW THOSE ARE MY KIND OF PEOPLE". What was he thinking !!! He
certainly gets marked down for bad judgement.
Even so, please consider Mr. Carl Robbins as a potential future member of
SOGAGG. Thanks. WOXOF (aka Bobby and TBD)
