Past RWIs

These pictures are from Homestead and Semiahmoo in 2007, Desert Canyon in 2006 and Avalon in 2004. I didn't get any pictures from Suncadia in 2005. The picture with Richard is the KP on the 18th hole island green at homestead. I think Edmon was draining a long putt on the 18th at Semiahmoo.

Dirty Dozen






















The RWI tour is gaining in popularity and now has expanded to the Dirty Dozen. New members include Dionnie, Fred (2nd year rookie, took 9 years to make it back to the tour), Benny & Jack. We started out at the new White Horse course that favors shotmakers like Benny. There wasn't anything that favored the rest of us. The competition that day was Pink Ball with the Class of 70 coming in first. (I didn't feel so bad for losing the ball when I found out we won). The next day brought us to Dungeness where the competition was a blind draw hidden nine. The team of Ronnie, David, Dale, Corey were the winners of that event. Dinner was at the 7 Cedars Casino. We thought we could get a free dinner by winning some of the casino money by putting it in the hands of the 4man. Things looked good with 4man taking the dice right off the bat and throwing back-2-back 7’s and then a yo. But things did not go according to plan so to get our money's worth, we all had double helpings of prime rib & crab. The closing round was at Pt. Ludlow where the event was the Ryder Cup, which consisted of a best ball, scramble & chapman. The teams were determined by the previous two days seedings. Dionnie just missed an eagle on the closing hole. The team of Dave, Edmon, Fred & Calvin took this event with clutch shots when needed. You should be able to drag the pictures to your desktop. Hold mid July for next year. Potential sites are Spokane or Portland.
