Random Colourful Commentary
Typos and odd writing courtesy of your fellow Slammers

GRUMPY: Always cheerful, always ready to help, always recruiting new members, excellent writer, a wealth of stats.

IRON MAIDEN: Always pleasant, sound knowlege of rules, always ready to help out, competitive.

PIZZAMAN : Pleasant personality, sound knowlege of rules, excellent writer

Cuba: great guy, always upbeat. 2012 may not have been his best season score-wise but he somehow had a very nice "skins" year. I like the events when he OCs and we "play the ball down" (even if we always whine about a couple of less than perfect lies during the round...) The Fidel Castro hat is great.

Woodsy: mainly because he didn't brag too much about holding the # 1 spot so long this summer but also because of his general sportsmanship.

Lucky: I have yet to play with Lucky but I like the way he contributes to creating a positive and fun atmosphere on the Tour, greeting fellow Slammers at events, especially the newbies, making everybody welcomed...

Blue: showed me how a true competitor should act.

The Enigma: for being unflappable and still having a sense of humour when things went wrong.

Grumpy: for making the transition into the slammers tour easy & I've never seen a man tee off while talking.

Sunny - Solid all around player, exemplifies ideal 19th hole Slammer, plays with any Slammer at any time, captains challenge teams and contributes oodles to the ST.

PointZero - Our #1 Photomaster, also the website guru and controls his temper very well despite so many missed short putts. A true competitor and contributes so much to the tour, the 19th hole and has a great friendship with many Slammers

Billiards – A solid vet and solid Slammer. Enjoys the company of everyone and is aware of things he needs to do to contribute to the success of the tour.

IronMaiden. Tremendous year on the links & a personality that never stops shining. How could anyone top this person.

Grumpy. Another tireless worker, very helpful to all, great to have people like that helping out on the tour.

Stevie Ray. Even though he totally embellished his bio stats (always 300+off the tee - NOT) another very up personality, great for rookies to play with, great for the tour.

Sunny: always encouraging to others, a great promoter of the Tour and a perfect example of what being a Slammer is all about! lead us to victory in the Dragonfly Challenge; 14th in events played; 19th in birds; had a hole in one; 12th in skins; 15th in wins: 16th in points;

PointZero: always in good spirits and has followed in his father's footsteps being a great golf role model for others; 5th in events played; 5th in birds; 4th in dogs; 2nd in skins; 5th in wins; 5th in points;

Malone: an actual professional and overall leader of Slammerism; 1st in birds; 1st in eags; 1st in raw talent

Sunny - Top 25 in events, skins, points, earnings, and birds. Strong Twitter presence. Great job on the Slammer Tour team challenges (Brockville and Dragonfly). Captain of Team West. Chug Champion! Hole in one winner. Always a great promoter when speaking about the Slammer Tour.

Iron Maiden - Walk away winner of Dogs. Skins and points leader. Top 10 earnings and birds. Over 100 events. Took on a lot of responsibility this year with the Slammer Gear as well as the course co-ordinator later in the year. Always a dependable and well liked OC.

Cuba - he is generally positive and a great motivator while promoting the Tour. He is a solid performer every match. Top 10 in events, dogs, skins, points, and earnings.

Grumpy- perennial favourite for me, always selling the Slammer Tour, whether people are listening or not, and despite his best efforts his game is improving too :-)))

Malone: great kid, very welcoming to all...his strong game gives the Tour some credibility to the low handicappers out there

Iron Maiden- just a sweet young lady, plays hard and gives a lot of time to others...a great face for the Tour

Woodsy – he’s one of the very best slammers who’s performance on and off the course puts him at the top of all categories; a very good guy

Grumpy: I met him at the Ottawa Golf Show. Luckily he was using his “inside” voice or he might have scared me off. He did not … and I have to thank him for a great year that started with him welcoming me to my first event in Arnprior. He is a great ambassador for the Tour answering the numerous questions thrown at him all year (yah … maybe I asked him a couple … or a hundred), making every event he plays in enjoyable especially if you are playing with him, and making every event he OCs or is Doggie or Skins Master for entertaining. He is the king of pace of play with his incredibly fast play which is fun to watch. Especially in his orange Slammer gear

Billiards: Been here since the beginning, battles all kinds of adversaries and adversities just to play the game, most generous guy around, sometimes funny, is a lady magnet, graciously donated the Preston Cup, gave me life (Tour wouldn't exist without him, and such an honour should go to no one else this year.

PointZero: overdue for the honour, instrumental in helping get the Tour to where it is today, 5th in events played, an excellent playing partner and a great photographer

Gator: gunning for Rookie but he's clearly hooked, has a great attitude, helps out whenever he can, has been up and down the elevator like crazy and is always in attendance on the 19th

Iron Maiden: She is the Queen of all things this year. Can Slammer of the Year go to anyone else? Stats aside, how many times did she OC or was Doggie or Skins Master? Easy going and fun to play with – unless she is down with a chance to come back. She changes focus and even if you are in the lead you are running for your life … or your $5. Win or lose though she represents what is good about this tour.

Stevie Ray: This gentleman flies under the radar. Always ready to help, always fun to play with and talk to and has great sportsmanship (even when he is beat by a girl).
