July's Brimmer
Happy Summer to All:
While writing this, it is the first day of summer, even though someone failed to mention it to Mother Nature after the recent bout with 90 degree temps, I think that Hal should have told her because “back in the day”, they used to hang around together, speaking of Hal Carty, as I am apt to do, he recently came back to the Club on Wed. evening after a fine, for him, 9 hole total of 61, when he found out that Timmy Kober shot a 69, Hal thought he finally beat someone other then Kerrigan, then to his chagrin, he found out that Kobs played 18 holes, “back in the day” went back to the driving range, this time, he took his car!
During the past month, I noticed 2 very disturbing things going on in the Binlids, first of all, Racetrack Matty E. has a blue tooth and the sight of that thing growing out of his ear is not for the weak of stomach, also, Kieran has a bad back, to match his head, but anyway his Doctor prescribed steroids, think of Barry Bonds without the tan and you get the picture, Kieran also just returned from Myrtle Beach with a few of our goofers, I mean golfers and the rest from Callahan’s, Ernie’s fine establishment at Taney and South, on Wed. evening, he was complaining of a problem that Shrek had on hole #9 of the Myrtlewood Country Club, where the gents played on Father’s Day, evidently, his ball kept getting stuck in the windmill, I guess his back was okay, South of the Border!
On June 7th, 5 busloads of people headed up to NYC with a Division #88 run trip to the Yankees game run by Joe McIvor, great trip by the way, well, Obie, Matty E., Jim McGovern and myself went, what a foursome that is, we lasted one inning in the seats, the bleachers are first of all, very hot and sunny and it is an alcohol free zone, so, that combo doesn’t work, we went to Stan the Man’s across the street, where our Hero, Matty E. did it again, put up his credit card for our drinks, beers are $7., each, so, you get the picture, oh Matty, you done it again, again and again.
The following day, we played our first and last playoff game, our 9 -5 team lost to a 3 -11 team who we beat twice during the season, the blame has to go to “Obie” Ozark, who was fully responsible for taking the troops to NYC the day before, his “excuse” was that Babe Ruth used to drink during the games, unfortunately the Babe doesn’t belong to AOH #87.
During the past week was also the one year anniversary of the death of Peter J. Hanlon, the softball team used our left over funds and bought a plaque which hangs in the Club, the “MVPete” award is handed out each year following the Penn State vs. Notre Dame Division #87 Softball Classic, next month there will be a full report on this game which was played on June 29th, I am sure that our “Angel in the Outfield”, Pete will be smiling down on us!
Talk to you, soon!
