"Golf is not, and has never been a fair game." ~Jack Nicklaus

Unfortunate and sad news from all things Fore Skins.  With a heavy heart, your Captain regrets to inform you that he has lost his Oops.  And we have lost a friend, a family member, a valued golf partner, a University of Michigan graduate, a fellow long time football season ticket holder for 27 years (and all around UM sports nut), and a six time Fore Skin Champion.

Greg Galdes died on Sunday, July 26, 2009.  He leaves behind wife Cathy, daughters Yvonne (14) and Bethany (11), mother Virginia and father Charles.  He is also survived by siblings Gary, Cheryl (Carlton Engstrom), Cynthia (Stefan Majlinger), Caroline (Chris Theodorovich) and Catherine (Chris Melody).

Advancing Tied

Team 3 continues to have control over the league, but they are using that control each week it seems.  Will they have any cards left to play for the last month of the season?  Team 2 has crept closer and closer, setting up a possible two-count-em-two week showdown that promises to SHAKE UP FORE SKINS AS WE KNOW IT!!! {know it know it echo echo} Can team 3 stave them off?  And while they are doing that, everyone’s favorite team to watch (admit it, come on, you all watch), Team 4, is still hanging around.  And you know what happens when they hang around.  You think you do, but do you really?  Really?!

Anyway, let’s address the {clever} title of this entry.  The league is creeping closer together, even though we all tie each week it seems.  Especially last week when each match split team totals for the first time in Fore Skin History (prolly, I guess).  Will the trend continue this week?  Or will someone step up?  That’s this week, in beautiful South Rockwood, be there, at Wesburn.

Oh - and also be there, after golf, in beautiful Gibraltar, at Joe’s Prime Time Pub.

North Mosquito Coast

The skeeters were out.  According to long-time Fore Skin Mike, it was the worst it has ever been.  According to CCJ, we were “just food”.  According to the scores, the state birds were bothersome.

Team 3 had a bad night, but with so much cushion it is hard to see that they lost ground.  Team 4 is still lurking, as usual.  Team 2 underachieved in the skeeter storm as well.

We continue round robin this week.  I have no idea if the mosquitoes will be bad again or not.  Visit here to see, maybe.

Prime Time

The second half has begun, we have entered Fore Skin Prime Time.  And it is time to make a move long overdue - post golf, we are going back to Joe’s Prime Time for the afterglow.  Please all, join us, in our valiant return to the home of the Meat Loaf Sandwich.

I imagine I should recap a bit.  Team 3 stood their ground during the scramble and still has a commanding lead.  But after this week, they should finally have established back nine averages for 2009.  Then maybe we will see some backpedaling.  Meanwhile, the other teams can only hope and take some shots.  Team 1 has theirs this week while Team 2 finishes off their 4-straight-week-scramble tour.  Teams 4 and 5 battle again for the right to join the chase.  That’s this week, at Wesburn.
