Good Sunday morning fellow SOGAGGers,

It’s a beautiful Mother’s Day and I hope you’re all enjoying the sunshine
and (unusually) dry weather…

Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s time to plan for the May SOGAGG outing and
yours truly is looking forward (REALLY looking forward) to being back out
with the “familia” (hat tip to OB here).

We’re striking out to new territory this month:

·         Carlton Oaks Golf Course *(Date:  Friday, May 24th*)

o   Very centrally located

o   In quite good shape (Rules just played it this week and confirms same)

o   Good breakfast/lunch facilities (Note:  I’m hosting breakfast so come
hungry)

o   Reasonable price for a Friday:  $59

o   I can’t make tee times until this coming Friday (that works since I’m
arriving back from my D.C. travel Thursday evening)

o   Drum roll:  Our beautiful new SOGAGG golf shirts should be ready for
distribution.  What color, you ask?  Blue and Gold…

§  And yes, Brassie will be receiving a White, a Green and a Blue and
Gold shirt.

·         Ah but, he will be showing up to play without any of those.
Need I say more? J

But wait, there is more:

·         The Joint United Through Reading/Support The Enlisted Project
(UTR/STEP) Charity Golf Tournament for Military Families (“Swing for our
Heroes”) *(Date:  Friday, June 28th)*

§  Admiral Baker (North)

·         Again, very centrally located

·         The following have already committed to supporting this event
(as SOGAGG has done each year since its inception):

o   Shaft

o   Bagger

o   Divot

o   Axe

o   Chi Chi (our “Man of the North” is once again sacrificing body and
soul to come down and join us)

o   Birdie

o   Docente Ocho

o   WOXOF

o   Rules

o   sHank

o   Ace

·         This gives us 11 players to date.  It would really be good if
we could get 16 Society members out.  I’ve not heard back yet (unless I
missed it) from:

o   Skully

o   Hazard

o   Trek

o   Old Slice

·         I will pay for all hands up front and we can settle
individually later (paying me does not preclude you from taking the tax
deduction if you itemize your taxes).

·         OB is a maybe.  Anyone wishing to send threatening letters
stating there will be reprisals if we don’t get full participation contact
me for addresses….

Finally (it’s about time!), please block out the last ten days of July
(exact date to follow) for the *2nd Annual Mount Woodson “Mountain High
Escape” *SOGAGG outing *of which I’m hosting.*  *Hosting in this case
means breakfast, the round of golf and lunch*.  Exception:  That
pitcher(s) of beer being bought by the net winner.  Mount Woodson in July
is a “cool” place to play golf and we had an absolutely wonderful time last
year…

A number of action items up there gang, please give me your inputs as soon
as possible.

Cheers for Mother’s Day,

/Ace
13 Unassailable Golf Truths

We're reluctant to say certain things *always* happen in golf, although
it often feels that way. You *always* miss that fairway left. You *always*
run out of tees. There's *always* a work emergency when you sneak out at
lunch. The point is golf is a game of habits, not all of which are welcome.
What are some of the most universal trends we've noticed? Here's our list.

1
*The players in front of you will all be struggling to break 100.*

all day.*

*You will bring four clubs with you across the fairway from the cart, and
none will be the right one.*

*Your best ball-striking round of the year will be the round when you
don't make **anything**.*

6
*You will have a day where you miss every fairway but make every putt for
double bogey.*

hitting from the drop area.*

*Your match will come down to a shot in which a maintenance guy will be
manning a deafening leaf blower five feet away.*

coincide with shift of a starter who takes his position way too seriously.*
