Dear SOGAGGers,
OMG I’m so sorry for having participated so little!!!
My only defense is timing...
To finally be able to join this austere group only to have COVID-19 virus cast
upon all of us within days of becoming a member Is monumental bad luck. Who
would have thought in January that we would be isolated at home and away from
golf for months???
Then to finally have a glimpse of wiggle room from the virus giving me the
opportunity to play as a SOGAGG only to have timing of that event conflict with
Debbie and my annual motor-coach trip back to Ohio in order to visit my
daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren is again (pardon the pun) another
stroke of bad luck...
I promise to make up for all! I have to soon otherwise my ever growing list of
SOGAGG debts will be unsurmountable!!! 😂😂😂😂
Yesterday was a fun birthday.
I was abruptly awakened by my 2 1/2 year old Grandaughter and by my 4 year old
Grandson screaming “Happy Birthday Granddad” at point blank range.
I got my Fitbit steps in during the morning (it’s 90+ degrees with 90%+
humidity here in the mid-west) so getting the steps in was an major
accomplishment in its own right...
I played golf at Bowling Green, Ohio’s lone Country Club (Stone Ridge) where I
shot a 91 but played with Andrew. Andrew is a recent BGSU graduate in
accounting who was on the golf team, with aspirations for the PGA Tour and Who
was all set to compete in the US Open until COVID-19 canceled the qualifiers
for that event.
Yesterday’s golf allowed me to live vicariously through Andrew’s round of 74
(from the golds behind both the blues and blacks) which included an eagle,
three birdies and several long drives including one that went 383 yards. A fun
day on the course!
Lastly in the evening I capped the day off with an amazing steak dinner at the
Chop House Restaurant in Toledo, Ohio on the banks of the Maumee River.
All-in-all a pretty great way to spend my first day as an official member of
Medicare. 😂😂😂
I will be back in San Diego in a few weeks and when I return I can’t wait to be
a full fledged participant in everything SOGAGG!
Sincerely
Carl

SOGAGG Colleagues,
We have a “first” today. We are toasting the birthday of a member who has
never played as a SOGAGGer, never paid the Finder’s Fee to his sponsor
WOXOF, never performed the SOGAGG “Happy Dance” and never proved he can
recite the entire SOGAGG roster in alphabetical order in 30 seconds or less.
As a matter of fact, the vast majority of the Society has never seen him
since he was inducted.
That is so SOGAGG… Hooks, you’ve started off on the right foot and we’re so
pleased to have you aboard (you are aboard somewhere, right?).
Congratulations on your big day and we’ll hoist a tall one in your honor
tonight and above all, don’t despair that we’ll be doing so knowing you
don’t have your shirts – we have plans for that soon…J
Happy Birthday Hooks,
