The future looks bright

I have some predictions about this year’s Mens’ Night…but before I get to that, I need to briefly mention what happened on the golf course.

During our first round of the season, nineteen golfers showed up after a long winter of hibernation. Skins went on five holes, including those won by Neuf and Gorrell ($20 on #1), Dale Watson and Blake Cramer ($23.50 on #3), and Jamie McCutchins and Dan Stokes ($20 on #4). Benton and Butch teamed up for two winners ($20 on #2 and $20 on $7). Brad was closest on #5 while Dwayne Blackbird hit it tight on #9. Brad and Dwayne split a $60 deuce pot with me. The only news that anyone offered were a few stories about how Robin and Brad argued about gimmies.

So back to my foretelling of the future of Mens’ Night. I have gazed into my crystal ball to make some predictions about the 2013 season. They are as follows:

• There will be two hole-in-ones recorded...including one on a par 4.
  Sadly, neither ace will be recorded by Dale Watson or Robin Kimpinski.
• Someone will make a cash bet with a playing partner and show poor
  sportsmanship later when they collect their winnings.
• Five people will throw clubs from the eight tee box into the swampy
  wasteland adjacent to it. One of them will go in to find their lost club,
  only to find one tossed their by Chris Hrysak during a previous season.
• Milt will talk to himself at length after hitting a shot which causes
  him displeasure.
• Many of you will buy Weber barbecues from John Deere after seeing how well your steaks cook on our new grill.
• Someone will shoot a max score of 63 on nine holes. Two golfers have been close at 61, including a poor guy this past Wednesday.
• Ron Huberdeau and Ron Susinski will get into a fist fight in the middle
  of a round while arguing about who is more handsome.
• On a windy day in late July, Luke Funk will hit the lake with his tee
  shot from #2.
• Jason Gorrell's scoring will improve by 3-4 strokes per nine hole round
  based upon the elimination of his super slice.
• On one mens' night early in the season, Clayton Hunter will register a score which is less than half his age.
• Brad Swereda will win the ringer board with a score of -8.
• Scott Maynes will tell someone his round wasn't that great after shooting a 38.
• On the same evening, Wes will tell someone he lit it up after shooting a
  38.
• Every night someone other than Benton wins the deuce pot, he will yell "Throw it back" as they try to claim their prize.
• Jason Hunter will follow a score of 51 one week with a 36 the next week.
• We will play on a night in which the lightning will be dangerously
  close. While no one will be struck, we will tell stories to our
  grandchildren about how brave we were playing in those conditions.
• John Gill will smile and be friendly after every round, regardless of
  his score or the weather conditions.
• Neuf will say the "F-word".
• I will hit someone 150 yards away with a low flying golf ball hit from a
  pitch mark by a 3 wood...similar to what I did last year.
