Except for Pflum who is just older and uglier.

I like the pics of Pflum and Rock Pyle.
Now I know what Jonah must've felt like.

New glasses neccessary?

OTOH, I hate the thought that women are eligible for an RSG-Outing.

Pflum, you are requested to respond in due time!!!11

OTOH, I've been there, operating the flag!

For the record -- all of these photos were taken by Dave Thor Collard.
I posted them on his behalf since he has been crazy busy for the last
couple of months.

Paul,

To what am I supposed to respond? Everyone is welcome at RSG events
-- even crazy folks from across the pond.

That was during Match Play Madness so we had to play from there. I
didn't knock it close (15' or so) but I did drain the putt for par.
You should fear my short game. :-)

PS -- I hope you are joking about that. If you aren't don't bother
coming to my event. I won't put up with that kind of crap.

Yes I was, and I apologize for that bad "joke"..

I'd like to, but it's crazy enough to join the usg outings every year
- Ohio seems a wee bit too far for me.

Ciao,

No, I don't feel that way.

I hope that you saw my white smileys ;->


In earnest: I apologize for this posting. I hit "send" before thinking
about this bad "joke".

I went to Scotland last May and was able to meet up with a couple of
the UKSGer's which was a lot of fun. It's always nice to be able to
put faces with the names.

Hey Thor,

These kinds of exchanges between folks who personally know each other,
AND about "golf," are the reasons I used to enjoy monitoring this
Group. I've never been in a situation where I could join you but, I
actually felt as if I knew some of you. At least I could draw a mental
picture of you and your personalities. Beside my love for "golf"
itself, that kind of fraternization is what I began to enjoy about the
game over 80 years ago, and found here in the past.

Unfortunately, the character of the Group appears to have been
permanently changed... what a loss! Even with the current effort to
take the discussions back to what they used to be, the "political" and
rather mean spirited tenor of the Group still seems to rule. Also,
some of the "golfers," including myself a couple of times, joined in
those discussions,and certainly are not totally blameless.

Your pictures and the resulting comments are reminders of what we used
to have and enjoy, Thank you!

Nice job. Wish I could have been there.

Just snooping around your other photos, I see the "F" Stemmer phrase has
morphed into "Fred" Stemmer.

I guess that'w what happens when you have an inquisitive 11-year-old...
LOL!!! :-)

FullACK - alas, it matters if the "meeting" is a supplement or the main
thing.

As for usg, my non-golfing spouse and I are constantly working on an
all-comforting compromise, resulting in various secondary (or primary?)
targets (Cornwall, Wales, Brighton(?) to name some).

Concerning rsg meetings, I foresee more difficulties...

Ciao,

Paul

At Kingsbarns they have tees from all over the place displayed at the
starter's shack. We agreed to call him "Fred Stemmer" because we
weren't quite sure if he would like the true meaning of "F".

You going to visit your family in Dayton next June?
