Random Colorful Commentary

Iron Maiden: with her constant challenging even with the slim odds shows great sportsmanship, stong competitiveness and continuous effort to learn and improve. Great after game participation and good humour. Adds class to running events and personal touch at making members feel welcome.

Boomer is great at all aspects of the Preston Cup like if it was matching is resume... specially at welcoming new members.

Suds with his quiet approach illustrates great sportsmanship, he is tough to compete against but very pleasant, like you dont mind losing to him!!! Contributes to team performance and promotes the tour. Great to have him around.

Ironmaiden: great OC

Prozee: the proud papa

Ticklar: anyone that plays that many events and has something new in his bag almost everytime he tees it up has to get some recognition.

Chuckie: huge after event participation and overall good guy

Hacker: Overall good guy, sturdy golfer

IronMaiden: a sweetheart with spunk

KidsClub: Is a real gentleman on the course, has a great sense of humour and definitely records a record number of quotables.

ProZee: A good role model, for all of us and Baldee...

Steamer: Always there to help and put his name in the hat for Dogs and skins.....

IronMaiden: you have to like a girl that grunts on her tee shot

Malone: hell of a player, nice guy, you almost don't mind losing to him......I said almost!

Steamer: a Slammer Tour core member....I believe if you cut him......he would bleed Slammer Tour orange!

Stevie Ray: is one of the funniest guys I’ve met. He is always cheerful even during a bad round of golf. Participation Excellent.

IronMaiden is a real trooper. Always giving to the tour. Fun to play with.

Chef: An excellent golfer! Very knowledgeable in golf related issues. Great personality! Great participation. A pleasure to play with.

IronMaiden: (Lisa) shows up at every event just to come out and have fun, no matter how the day ends up, and she does. Through all of her "OC"ing, all that she brings to the Tour is all done so that everyone else can have just one more reason to enjoy their experience. (She likes happy people) I think that she accomplished that throughout the season. so...if that's doesn't exemplify Slammer of the Year...

IronMaiden: she's the best OC ever, always has a smile on her face, sports stylinslammer gear, oh I almost forgot plays a pretty good game of golf - atta girl!

Chuckie: cause he puts a smile on my face

Chuckie: the most popular slammer in 2008, both in and out of the top ten

IronMaiden: words do not describe this zen master with a nice shoot

ProZee: this guys a keeper

Chilly and Chef. They both play by rules of golf and are great players. Although they have cost me 80% of my losses, but it has been a pleasure to play with them all the time. I would give the advantage to Chef because of Chilly's pre-shot and pre-putt routine that at times becomes really annoying. Sorry Chilly.

ProZee: For his patience and being a good father to his son. Also very nice person to play with.

IronMaiden: Very enthusiastic, a joy to play with and the best OC ever!

Steamer: A true golf addict, very competititve and always willing to help out with skins and dogs

ProZee: Great sense of humour, an active Tour member and very beatable when he infiltrates the top 10

Chef: because I assume that he makes a killer Grilled Cheese

Chef because he plays so well, is a very pleasant fellow (at least in my experience of him -- from my point of view even though he's so much better than I am, he's always talked to me as an equal, as though I could actually play this game!). And, although I haven't played so much this year, he usually hangs around to have a pint or two.

SRR, because he's played so well this year. For a B, he's hung around the top-20 for most of the year. Well-done indeed! And of course, in spite of his tendency to maybe blame his bad lie in the rough on The Government, he's very pleasant and fun to play with.

Ticklar, well, he's been in the most events, plays well, and even though he's wrong (!) about my getting my distance by de-lofting my clubs (imho), he's supportive to other players.

Chef is like a velvet hammer. Smooth and charming. And bam! The Chef has cooked you with some fava beans and a nice Chianti!

Fuzzy is everyone's grumpy neighbour. "Hey you kids get off my lawn". But he would water your lawn for you when you were away without you even asking. The Tour's John McCain. And like a hangover, he gets better with time.

Chucky is the doctor of style. Competitive, fun and knows how to have a beer and not let that affect his putting. Self-depracating and a pretty good driver (I mean his cart, his club swing is just ugly. An odd mix of moe Norman and Seve -- but it works).

IronMaiden: great sport, best OC all around

Chilly: for all the well known reasons

Malone: nice guy with great golf skills.

Fuzzy: a positive presence when ever I've been at a Slammer event...friendly and helpful... a consistent perfomer... and finished well.. .

IronMaiden: A pleasant post-game person... made a special contribution re Meadows event And she finished higher than me in the standings

ProZee: A frequent OC... also friendly and helpful... another consistent perfomer.. good sport when bested by Baldy.. even if it was inevitable...

Chuckie: Took down Chilly in his pimped up ride while enjoying a few crown royal sips along the way driving his pimped up cart complete with stereo system and open bar! Always dressed nice and his friendly nature comes out when he welcomes new slammers with a warm smile and firm handshake, truly he is a great ambassador for the tour.

Prozee: Takes the tour seriously and is a great role model for Baldee who is a chip of the old block. He is always first to volunteer for duty and help out. His play has improved and i believe his attendance doubled over 2007. Always in a good frame of mind and enjoys a good laugh.

Steamer: While fairly quiet on the surface HE IS A GREAT GUY WHO ACTUALLY has a sense of humour. His participation and dedication to the tour is very strong, always likes to help out and get involved and has shown vast improvements in his level of competition.

IronMaiden: Real good on the job

ProZee: I can't say anything bad

Hacker: Fun guy, good golfer
