2008 Pairings
KEVIN GOODMAN
LEE RAMBY
TEE TIME: 9:16am
Last year champion
Goodman will have the honorary 1st tee time.
He'll need some good holes from Ramby if he is to repeat.
SANDY DLUGOZIMA
MIKE YANCEY - R
TEE TIME: 9:16AM
Jimmy the Greek has
this twosome as the odds-on-favorite to take home top honors for
GnG 2008. Proven veteran Dlugozima will be pleased with
hot-shot rookie Yancey as his partner.
JIM THORN
CONNOR THORN - R
TEE TIME: 9:24am
The elder Thorn
probably ranks in the top 2 to 3 golfers in the field. Young
Connor will have to lend some help. There will
probably be a trophy in their hands at the end of the
evening.
GARY SAVAGE
TYLER SAVAGE - R
TEE TIME: 9:24am
Papa Savage has got a
good little game going on. He'll be sure to cultivate
that knowledge on to young Tyler.
ROGER BORRELLO
JIM LINDENMAYER
TEE TIME: 9:32am
Lots
of distance from the sticks from these two. Short game and
keeping it in play on the tight Hooch course will be the
challenge.
MARK LIGHT
YO HOFFNER
TEE TIME:
9:32am
Rookies
Light and Hoffner are untested on the course. Hoffner
can't be counted out but this duo may be at their best at the
grille!
TOM LENAHAN
RYAN SPINDLER
TEE TIME:
9:40am
Ya never know about
Tommy-guan and Spindler is
no slouch. Time will only tell if this twosome can make a
run at a trophy or just lead in aluminum can recycling.
JIM HUGHES
CHAD BURBRINK
TEE TIME: 9:40am
Hughes has some GnG
hardware in his trophy case. Burbrink continues to
rely on pre-teen son Jordan for golf tips. Rally cry may
be "Remember Appalachian State!"
ALFRED GALANG
BOB MCGOWAN
TEE TIME:
9:48am
This twosome should
be in the money. Galang has been hot in recent years
and McGowan ALWAYS finds a way to the awards podium for
something.
TIM PATTERSON
BILLY RINESMITH
TEE TIME:
9:48am
Timmy had to sell
his double-wide to pay for shoulder surgery and most likely
won't be at his finest. Rinesmith is a Picasso when it
comes to golf creativity.
MAX GALANG
SENATOR GALANG
TEE TIME:
9:56am
Young phenom
Max Galang burst on to the GnG scene two years ago with a
stunning upset win. With brother Senator aboard,
could this be the first family to have THREE names on the
championship trophy?
MICHAEL PALAZZO
MATT PALAZZO - R
TEE TIME:
9:56am
Michael Palazzo
makes a return to the GnG after a two-year hiatus. With
brother Matthew as his partner, it's an unknown what can happen
here.
VINCE TERRY
JAMIE DEEN - R
TEE TIME:
10:04am

10:04am
Fred introduces
young behemoth Scott to the ranks of GnG play.
No telling what will happen here.
GARY SPINDLER
JASON SPINDLER
TEE TIME: 10:12am
Dad Gary is the only
Spindler not to have his name on the championship trophy and might
just be approaching TBPTNHWAGNG status. Hooch may be
perfect setup for Jason to put the old man in the limelight.
RANDY NICHOLS
RYAN NICHOLS - R
TEE TIME: 10:12am
Young Ryan has some
game. Papa may not like sonny boy showing him
up. Father...son...two competitors! Should be fun!
CHRIS ROPER
CASH ROPER - R
TEE TIME: 10:20am
Dad Chris broke into
the GnG ranks last year and looks to get it rolling in 2008.
If Cash can hit a golf ball like a baseball watch out!
KEN PALAZZO
SCOTT TANNER
TEE TIME: 10:20am
This should be a fun
time for both Scott and KP. Who knows what will happen with
these guys. Tanner's a "playa"!
PETE VAN FRAYEN
JOE VAN FRAYEN
TEE TIME: 10:28am
The brother V tandem
tee it up in what could be an interesting mix of middle-age"seasoning"
and youth "exuberance". Where's Cindy?
TOM DUTTON
MIKE VAN FRAYEN
TEE TIME: 10:28am
Membership DOES have
its privileges for Van Frayen! For Dutton it's just a new
year and and a new boat anchor to play with! Consult a
VFSE Hall of Fame member for any nepotism complaints!
from last year!!
Official 2007 Golf 'n Grille
Scoreboard
Ever wonder why
golf is growing in popularity and people who don't even play go
to tournaments or watch it on TV? These truisms may shed light
on reasons why.
Golf is an honorable game, with the overwhelming majority of
players being
honorable people who don't need referees.
Golfers don't scratch their privates on the golf course.
Golfers don't kick dirt on, or throw bottles at, other people.
Professional golfers are compensated in direct proportion to how
well they play.
Golfers don't get per diem and two seats on a charter flight
when they travel
between tournaments.
Golfers don't hold out for more money, or demand new contracts,
because of
another player's deal.
Professional Golfers don't demand that the taxpayers pay for the
courses on
which they play.
When golfers make a mistake, nobody is there to cover for them
or back them up.
The PGA Tour raises more money for charity in one year than the
National
Football League does in two.
You can watch the best golfers in the world up close, at any
tournament,
including the majors, all day, every day for $25 or $30. The
cost for a seat in
the nosebleed section at the Super Bowl will cost around $300 or
more.
You can bring a picnic lunch to the tournament golf course,
watch the best in
the world and not spend a small fortune on food and drink. Try
that at one of
the taxpayer funded baseball or football stadium. I brought a
Coke into Oriole
Park at Camden Yards last year, and an usher came to my seat and
told me I had
to dispose of it, or I would not be allowed to stay in the
stadium.
In golf you cannot fail 70% of the time and make $9 million a
season, like the
best baseball hitters (.300 batting average) do.
Golf doesn't change its rules to attract Fans.
Golfers keep their clothes on while they are being interviewed.
Golf doesn't have free agency.
In their prime, Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer and other stars,
would shake your
hand and say they were happy to meet you. In his prime Jose
Canseco wore
T-shirts that read "Leave Me Alone."
You can hear birds chirping on the golf course during a
tournament.
Ladies are welcome players.
At a golf tournament, (unlike at taxpayer funded sports stadium
and arenas) you
won't hear a steady stream of four letter words and nasty name
calling while
you're hoping that no one spills beer on you.
Also: If
you have re-gripped your golf ball retriever more than once you
might question if this game is really for you.
1. Golf can best be defined as an endless
series of tragedies obscured by
the occasional miracle.
2. "I wish I could play my normal game...just once."
3. "Golf is harder than baseball. In golf, you have to play
your foul balls."
4. If you find you do not mind playing golf in the rain, the
snow, even during a hurricane, here's a valuable tip: Your life
is in trouble.
5. Golfers who try to make everything perfect before taking the
shot
rarely make a perfect shot.
6. The term "mulligan" is really a contraction of the
phrase "maul it again."
7. A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement
between two golfers ....neither of whom can putt very well.
8. An interesting thing about golf is that no matter how badly
you play; it is always possible to get worse.
9. Golf's a hard game to figure. One day you'll go out and slice
it and shank it, hit into all the traps and miss every green.
The next day you go out and for no reason at all you really
stink.
10. I play in the low 80s. If it's any hotter than that, I won't
play.
11. If your best shots are the practice swing and the "gimme
Putt", you might wish to reconsider this game.
12. Achieving a certain level of success in golf is only
important if you can finally enjoy the level you've reached
after you've reached it.
13. Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent is
you.
14. Golf is like marriage If you take yourself too seriously it
won't work... and both are expensive.
15. The best wood in most amateurs' bags is the pencil.
16. To some golfers, the greatest handicap is the ability to add
correctly.
Golf Club Rules
1. Back straight, knees bent, feet shoulder
width apart.
2. Form a loose grip.
3. Keep your head down.
4. Avoid a quick back swing.
5. Stay out of the water.
6. Try not to hit anyone.
7. If you are taking too long, please let others
go ahead of you.
8. Don't stand directly in front of others.
9. Quiet please... while others are preparing to
go.
10. Don't take extra strokes.
Very good. Now flush the urinal, go outside, and tee off!
If you drink, dont. drive. Don't even
putt.
Dean Martin
When I die, bury me on the golf course so my
husband will visit.

I'm hitting the woods just great....but having
a terrible time getting out of them!

If you think it's hard to meet new people, try
picking up the wrong golf ball.
Jack Lemmon
1. Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in
your mind during
your swing.
2. When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can
either hit
one more club or two more balls.
3. If you are afraid a full shot might reach the green while the
group
ahead are still putting, you have two options: you can
immediately
shank a lay-up, or you can wait until the green is clear and top
a
ball halfway there.
4. The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share
his ideas
about the golf swing.
5. If it isn't broke, try changing your grip.
6. Golfers who claim they don't cheat also lie.
7. Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.
8. A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponent's
luck.
9. It's surprisingly easy to sink a 50 foot putt when you lie
10.
10. Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a
rule is like
expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.
11. Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts.
12. It's not a gimme putt if you're still away.
13. The shortest distance between any two points on a golf
course is a
straight line that passes directly through the large tree.
14. There are two kinds of bounces: unfair bounces and bounces
just the
way you intended to play it.
15. You can hit a two-acre fairway 10% of the time and a 2-inch
branch
on a tree 90% of the time.
16. Every time a golfer makes a birdie he must subsequently make
three
triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the
universe.
Feast on These!!
Golfer: "I've played so poorly all day; I think I'm
going to go drown
myself in that
lake."
Caddy: "I doubt you could keep your head
down that long."
Golfer: "I'd move heaven and earth to be able to
break 100 on this course."
Caddy: "Try heaven. You've already moved most of the
earth."
Golfer: "Well, I have never played this badly
before!
Caddy: "I didn't realize you had played before,
sir."
Golfer: "Caddy, do you think my game is improving?"
Caddy: "Oh yes, sir! You miss the ball much closer than you
used to."
Golfer: "Please stop checking your watch all the
time, caddy. It's distracting!"
Caddy: "This isn't a watch, sir, its a compass!"
Golfer: "Caddy, do you think it is a sin to play golf on
Sunday?"
Caddy: "The way you play, sir, it's a sin any day of
the week!"
Golfer: "This golf is a funny game."
Caddy: "It's not supposed to be."
Golfer: "That can't be my ball, caddy. It looks far too
old."
Caddy: "It's a long time since we started, sir."
Golfer: "Do you think I can get there with a
5-iron?"
Caddy: "Eventually."
Golfer (screaming): "You've got to be the worst caddy in
the world!"
Caddy: "I doubt it. That would be too much of a
coincidence!"
17. If you want to hit a 7-iron as far as Tiger Woods does,
simply try to
lay up just short of a water hazard.
18. To calculate the speed of a player's downswing, multiply the
speed
of his backswing by his handicap. Example, backswing 20 miles
per
hour, handicap, 15, downswing = 300 m.p.h.
19. There are two things you can learn by stopping your
backswing at
the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands
you have, and which hand is wearing the golf glove.
20. Hazards attract; Fairways repel.
21. You can put "draw" on the ball, you can put
"fade" on the ball, but
no golfer can put "straight" on the ball.
22. A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not
yours.
23. If there is a ball in the fringe and a ball in the bunker,
your ball is
in the bunker.
24. If both balls are in the sand, yours is in the footprint.
25. Don't buy a putter until you have had a chance to throw it.
26. The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant
elimination of
the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to
compensate for
all your errors.
