RWI 2015 The Old Dirty Dozen

Homestead

Welcome back to that same old place that we laughed about. 

 Now that Ronnie is retired he was able to join us after several years absence.  

Pink ball was at Battle Creek.  This course was picked because there are a lot of holes where you can loose your ball.  We fought the course and the course won.

Benny and the Jets: Benny, Craig, Fred, Dennis.      Hole 12

Class of 71:  Norm, Dale, Ronnie, Edmon.                Hole 9

Class of 70: Calvin, Richard, Dave, Jack.                  Hole 8

Loomis

The second day was Black vs. Red at Loomis Trails.  A better name for the course would have been Loomis of Hazzards.  Black won according to form.

Black: Benny, Calvin, Dennis, Edmon, Craig.                       2

(Ronnie had to scratch.)

Red:  Richard, Jack, Dave, Norm, Edmon, Dale.                  1

The Scramble Finale was at Homestead.  This year we tried a new formula to determine teams after some discussion that the old format wasn't fair.  However the winning team got two strokes and won by 2 strokes.  What's fair about that?

Seed 3,4,9,10: Dave, Dale, Craig, Edmon.                           71

Seed 2,5,8,11: Calvin, Richard, Norm, Dennis.                     73

Seed 1,6,7,12: Benny, Fred, Ronnie, Jack.                           77

I won't add any comments about your swing if you don't make any about mine.

RWI 2014 Dirty Dozen

We welcome two new members, Craig Hom, an old classmate from Asa Mercer, and Dennis Koe, from Troup 254, and a cousin of Fred & Dale.  The courses this year were Canyon Lakes  in Kennewick, Wine Valley in Walla Walla, and Horn Rapids in Richland.  In addition to golf we did a little wine tasting and brought home some local Walla Walla onions & Yakima cherries.

RWI 2013: Sweet Sixteen

This year we expanded to the Sweet Sixteen on the last day at Salish Cliffs which has to be one of the top courses on the RWI tour. We were joined by Les, Arlin and Kenny and founder Ronnie Wong.  We had a little mishap with Dave getting hit by a golf ball.  Who said golf was a no contact sport?

RWI 2012 The New Dirty Dozen

This year welcomes two new members Les Kimura and David Hata and the return of CC (Corey Chin)

Suncadia Prospector

Day 1 Suncadia Prospector: Pink Ball The class of 71, Norm, Dale, Les, and Corey finally break their maiden with a score of 94, which included a 43 on the back. (It would be quite embarrassing to  be a 60 year old virgin. Congratulations.) The only explanation for the victory is the addition of Les and Corey. Second place went to the class of 70 with a score of 101. The non Quaker Benny and the jets lost their pink ball on hole 5.

Appletree

Day 2 Appletree: Hi Lo and KP's The A team of Benny, Les, Jack, Dionnie, Norm and Calvin beat the B team 2 to 1. KP's were won by Norm, Frank, Dave and Benny. The highlight was Frank's near hole in one (5 inches). We almost had a free dinner at Mickey D's. Benny won the famous Apple hole. The last foursome (names with held to protect the innocent) failed to hit the apple.

Suncadia Rope Rider

Day 3 Suncadia Rope Rider
The team of Benny, Jack, Dionnie and Calvin won the scramble-best ball with a score of 118.  They were the 6 to 5 morning line favorite and came in true to form.  The team of Norm, Frank, Fred and Dale came in second with a score of 124.  The  team of Richard, Dave, Corey and Les justified their long shot odds with 134.  During lunch at the Brick Tavern in Roslyn there was  discussion on how to even out the last days event.  One suggestion is to make the two man best ball "No stud, No dud" (throw out the hi & low scores).  Perhaps a minimum of two drives per person on the scramble would also help.  Suggestions for next year are Salish Cliffs & Semiahmoo.



 

Frank's KP.  Almost a free dinner.
