a new season begins...

the start of another journey, another round. NJOY
........The ball and the clubface are one, been together before we've begun, like a song you've always sung, in the skin, the muscle and the skeleton.........The address, the backswing, the follow through, creating the path that the ball flew, interconnectedness, mind the glue, the ball, the target, the golf voodoo.......With a sound foundation, a proper grip, on the fairways or on a delicate chip, practice in time becomes craftsmenship, know the course and let it rip...............

Another season ends...

post Tick: big G w/ the BCC Cup @ a Bomber hockey gamewow! that was quite a year. golf golf golf golf, drink it up! now with the exception of the BCC Ping Pong Championship & Cocktail Party the Bernardsville Country Club had a full schedule this season. and between the BCC and the SVCC, the Steeple View Country Club, backyard golf is alive and well. first was the April Fools Open, absent since 2005, that was defended by the talented SVCC greenskeeper and captain, billy jo auld, next i won the SVCC Steeplechase with a steady play on a very hot day, then there was the 2nd annual Inter-club championship, a wonderful event hosted by and played at beautiful SVCC, were the hosts narrowly retained the "Quantis Certanimus" trophy. the golf season's second half began with my first tournament "hoop in one", highlighting a record breaking outing at the SVCC Invitational. and finally, after almost a year, i regained the sliver BCC Cup by winning the Tick Open. yes there was drama, there were great shots, highlights and surprises, sportsmanship and camaraderie. viva la backyard golf! long live backyard golf! wow! that was quite a year. and then we topped it off with a Halloween Bash. nice. the BCC wants to wish everyone happy holidays, merry christmas and a happy new year!

BCC Halloween Bash

the “speakable” highlights:well they did it again! on nov. 1st the groundskeeper and company (G-artist, rev.simpsinatra, P.T.PuppetShow, FMB, w/louie z.& J2J) set up their three ring circus on the grounds of the Bernardsville Country Club, filled it with scary spectacle, fine entertainment, added a bunch of good friends, deliciously tasty toxins, and then lit the fuse. BOOM! in what could be the last sequel in the cookie monster series for the BCC membership, this party really took off.after food, drinks and “dessert”, the P.T.PuppetShow started off things with a bang, literally. when rev. simpsinatra sang the haunting “summer wind” and then was shot by someone backstage, red blood splattering across his white shirt just before the curtain closed. oh the look on his face, but the show must go on! and it did, but so did the shooting. P.T. was shot twice, mortally after completing his high wire act! the Magic Shoe? shot. Rocky, the new and improved, smoking squirrel? shot. Project Genesis? possible sabotage. Socks? shot. leaving Dino, P.T.’s loyal sidekick, to sing the closing theme song “am i blue?” all alone, so sad. then he was shot. upsetting yes, but you must remember, they are only actors and this is just a show.luckily, and by popular demand, the BCC Scavenger Hunt this year was shorter and easier. the three groups ending up at the haunted barn after they combed the BCC grounds looking for clues and gathering creepy items. once there, a winner was announced, that being the Tiger Woods group with Cleopatra and some vampires, fabulous prizes were given out, all the while being serenaded by rev. simpsinatra, aka, bobby jones. warm weather made for wonderful outdoor fun. the stars, the stars, the bright beautiful stars.

as for the BCC Halloween Bash Costume Contest, well hopefully it’s not a sign of the times, voter fraud was rampant, some were found not to be of voting age, winners were declared and then rejected. no decision was made! frankenstein, marilyn monroe, sarah and her moose, sgt. lori, honest abe, the rodeo clown and the cowgirls, a couple of pirates, toxic man, death, the werewolf and an IBM, princess laya, lucifer and the devil dog, and all others mentioned, with no winner! and in the morning the trophy was gone! stolen by some joker no doubt. the BCC management would like to say that it does not condone this type of behavior. it will not happen again!(above) the groundskeeper as jeff drietlein as frankenstein!!it's 10 o'clock, do you know where your children are??? well, do you???is this the first time you've had a chocolate chip cookie?of the mechanical bull he said,"i'd ride it if i had a buck!"the party then migrated back to the BCC clubhouse fire and listened to a short set by the Frozen Monkey Band. abe lincoln on bass, ha ha. at about this time things started getting a little fuzzy (well maybe it was the whole time), anyway, some members left, some left a little later, and some didn’t. some party. some season.
