Bowden and Robert Pennoyer for SOGAGG Memebership I don't know much about our
latest SOGAGG Plebes, but if RP is a fan of the movie "The Wedding Crashers" we
should consider "Babaganoush" for his callsign. Vince Vaughan's character was
lovingly called Babaganoush throughout the movie and it is just weird enough to
be a SOGAGG callsign.I yield the balance of my time to my distinguished SOGAGG

Brian or Robert as well as the rest of the group, so I am hesitant to offer any
thoughts or ideas on their callsigns (or should I say their “starter”
callsigns, as we have routinely demonstrated that once an individual provides a
uniquely memorable action, that their original callsign is immediately
replaced….). But measured reason and tact have never been strong suites of
mine, so dovetailing on your very astute observations of the playing
characteristics of these two fine lads, the following images and references
came to me (as the fever broke, and Mary woke me from a screaming nightmare –
but that is a story for another time…..): * In earlier days (20th century
nomenclature), the 8 iron was called a “pitching niblick”. Prior to that it
would have been referred to as either a “niblick” or a “lofter”. Wondering if
one of these two labels might create a level of laughter, intrigue, and
suspicion about them to members in their future 4-somes? I also happen to love
the reference to the most famous movie scene in golf (aka Bill Murray, “…a
Cinderella Story…”). Would “Groundskeeper” be too far “out of bounds” (pun
intended….). [Note: I ruled our “Cinderella” out of respect for Bill Murray,
and the complete reverence that I have for this very moving piece of
Oscar-worthy cinema magic. He was robbed, by the way…..] * Regarding the
“high draw” shot being routinely exhibited by young Master Rob….., another high
shot is the “Lob”…. (Which as a few of you know, rhymes with the word
“Rob”….). But I also was struck by the idea that he (and the rest of your
4-some) spent a bit of time in the “shade” looking for a lost ball. The
callsign “Shade” for some reason seemed funny and appropriate. For example:
“Where is “Shade”? He’s over there, in the shade, looking for his ball……” Ok.
That’s all from me. Now back to the serious work of social distancing, mask
cleaning, and other important necessities of modern-day life…. KD 20th
century wood-shafted irons[edit]They were:· Driving iron: 1 Iron·
Mid-iron: 2 Iron· Mid-mashie: 3 Iron· Mashie iron: 4 Iron·
Mashie: 5 Iron· Spade mashie: 6 Iron· Mashie-niblick: 7
Iron· Pitching niblick: 8 Iron· Niblick: 9 Iron·
Jigger: Very low lofted iron, shortened shaft - similar to a modern
chipper"Mashie" is derived from French massue, "club", while "niblick" is
diminutive of neb/nib, "little nose."[4][5]19th century irons[edit]·
Cleek - A metal-headed golf club having an elongated blade with little loft,
equivalent to a one or two iron in a modern set of clubs.· Lofter - A
metal-headed golf club with a moderate loft ranging from a modern five iron to
an eight iron.· Niblick or Rut Niblick - a trouble club and pitching
iron and generally the most lofted of the 19th century irons, with a very small
rounded head and a loft equivalent to a modern nine iron or wedge.[6]The
traditional set of irons was invented by Archibald Barrie, and were used from
1903 until about the 1940s. The introduction of the standardized numbered iron
set produced by the Spalding Sporting Goods Company in the early 1930s caused
the traditional set of irons to give way gradually to the numbered set.The
traditional irons varied greatly in loft (+/- 5 degrees). The shape of the head
determined some of the playing characteristics of the club; most traditional
heads were roughly egg-shaped. From: sogagg-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

[sogagg] Re: Nomination of Brian Bowden and Robert Pennoyer for SOGAGG
Memebership Esteemed SOGAGG Colleagues, I had the great "honor" of playing with
Brian and Robert in our recent Oaks North Golf Tournament. They were both
"wonderful" golf partners. That being said and with "HOOKS" already taken by
the amazing and soon to be much poorer Mr. Carl Robbins, I would like to
"suggest" the callsign of "Hi Draw" for Robert. I must tell you quite honestly,
he hit some of the most amazing, eye watering hi draws with his 3 Hybrid that I
thought I was watching a golf channel teaching video. Alas and unfortunately,
those Hi Draws were all hit on straight away holes. At least the time we spent
in the shade "looking" decreased the potential for sunburn. So "humbly" I
suggest Hi Draw as a potential callsign for Robert. Wishing I could hit a Hi
Draw, WOXOF Now for Brian … not sure, but he sure did hit a lot of Eight Irons
… from 125 yards to 195 yards !!! "Eight Iron" has a nice ring to it as in
"He's got an Eight Iron … Cinderella story …. etc." -----Original
