Bag Open to be Revived in 2007!

After a three year hiatus, the fabled Bag Open is slated to be revived in 2007. Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, the storied event was not held the past three years. It began to look as if it would never be played again but recently during a chance nine hole meeting of three of the principles it was decided to give it a shot again in 2007. The date has not yet been set but will likely be sometime in late November after the weather turns appropriately shitty and most sane people have either gone south for the Winter or have hung up their sticks for the year. Watch this site for further details.

Participant Update

There certainly have been some changes to the field in the past three years. But, at least they're still all alive. Lumpy is married, as is Village. The long absent Chicken Legs has not been seen for some time now. He was last known to be teaching school in Columbus and has at least two kids now. It is believed that CHOP has just the one legal child. Village has produced one child as well. Lumpy hasn't figured out how that works as yet but we are attempting to tutor him on that aspect of life. CHOP is driving a bread truck, Slash is now retired (officially, this time), both Jungle and Village are still toiling at Whirlpool, Lumpy has now given up being a golf "Pro" and now works for his father in law's electrical contractor business as a go-fer.

I finally saw Cusser Boes this past week. He joined me and the Lumpy for the back nine. Nothing has changed with the lad. He's still playing 6-7 times week. Actually, he's playing much better and likely will have to give me at least 3 a side from now on. And yes, he's still gay. That wife and family is just an elaborate cover.

Flash! - CHOP DQ'ed in 2007 Heart of Ohio

I just this afternoon learned that CHOP managed to get himself disqualified this past weekend in the Heart of Ohio golf tournament held yearly at Hickory Grove (Bushwood). It seems that on the second day of the 36 hole event CHOP played his second shot on number 8 from an area marked ground under repair. Of course, no one in his group said anything about it until number 10 and since CHOP technically never finished hole number 8 he was DQ'ed. The CHOP was 4 under par for the tourney when the infraction occurred and would have finished in the money easily so this was a real bitch. I can't understand what his playing partners were thinking when they didn't tell him right away. I certainly would have said something. Kind of a sad commentary if you ask me.

Bushwood CC Still Going Strong

However, the course is now being managed by a group that owns three other courses in the Lima, Ohio area. This appears to be a good thing as the track is in better shape this year than it has been in many moons.
