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

Stevie Ray – Always a great ambassador to the tour. A great person to get the chatter going on the 19th hole with his corky beliefs and interpretations of the game.

PointZero – An excellent photographer and even better website developer. A pleasure to play with and a great competitor.

Cuba – An interesting catch...witty and talented, an existential combination.

1st pick: I cast my vote for Cuba. I have played several rounds with him and have always enjoyed his company and general sportsmanship. He brought his scoring median down to 81. He made the EG intersectional team. And we have all heard more than we wanted about his ace at Smuggler’s Glen. He is a great OC. His Fidel Castro cap is a nice touch.

2nd pick: Shades deserves some consideration too. I have only played once with him but had a few pints with him after Slammer events. He has a good game but he stands out for his positive attitude after the rounds no matter how well he has played.

3rd pick: Grumpy. He did a great job of welcoming me to the Slammer tour; explaining the rules, introducing me to other slamemers and making me feel generally comfortable. He is a great OC... I love to see his mind at work when on skins duties. I also like the fact that he can register scores in English, French and Spanish. I haven't played with him yet but I look forward to it.

Pick #1: DeeJay – Always in good spirits, always laughing it up, a solid player and he bought me a beer!

Pick #2: Shades – A very positive guy!

Pick #3: Popeye – Great improvement with his game and he’s usually “into it” – meaning the competition.

My nominees for Slammer of the Year are 1. Cuba; and 2. Sutty..... I didn't have enough outings w enough different Slammers who hadn't already won to make a #3 choice.. so I nominate Cuba because he's competitive and sportsmanlike and a pleasure to be around both on the course and after... he's a solid player and takes his game (but not himself) seriously... and he brings prizes!!...#2 Sutty likewise is a pleasure to be around... lots of good one-liners ... he's out to win and enjoys competing with others but also enjoys competing with himself and achieving personal bests... two good guys....

#1-SHADES. Bob impressed me by being the only slammer to welcome me at my first event this spring. He is friendly, personable, and always upbeat and supportive, even when he himself is not playing well(which is rare). He has played in 55 events, and has a winning percentage of 65+.

#2-BOOKIE. Bookie has played in 60 events and always stays for the after-game ceremonies, AND, he does a great deal of writing for the "Week in Review".

#3-POINTZERO. Always friendly and competitive, Andrew has played in 40 events, and takes a lot of photos for the website!!

1. CUBA: This Slammer has been involved and has put himself out there since he joined the tour 3 years ago. Cuba can give as good as he takes in his humour, his game, his quotables. Becoming an OC for the Tour was a natural progression for this involved Slammer and he has done a sensational job both at the course and in his imaginative write ups. A nemesis to many, Cuba can make any match enjoyable and makes you want to come back for more....even when he kicks your butt.

2. PizzaMan: This is PizzaMan's 4th year on Tour and if you know him he takes a little while to warm up to things.....This season PM became more involved in the tour and took on more responsibilities as one of our newest OCs and starting with the first game of the season has been a consistent force in the field. He has more than doubled his birds and skins stats and is in the top 10 for points again this year. There is that little matter of leaving pizza slices on the greens ... but it did give us a little chuckle the first time and has opened up discussions of doggie ball options available to all of us.

3. Grumpy: Grumpy is always ready for a game and again leads the field in attendance. This Slammer truely wears his Slammer heart on his sleeve and gives his all to make sure all runs smoothly...the operative word here is "runs"....as this master of POP can make any group hustle. Grumpy is also a master of doggies as he sits in the top 3 of doggie leaders on tour and if he isn't leading the crew as OC he is volunteering for skins or doggie mastery duties to help out his fellow OC.

#1 IronMaiden... Based on the criteria for the award, IM fits it to a tee. She has literally improved all her stats while participating in less events. This includes Major $ winner compared to previous seasons, a muched improved scoring median (except for her latest injury, that should have put her out for the season, but no....she still takes on all comers), A nice winning percentage, while playing against better competition than in other years. She knows passwords for many a slammer who she logs for various events. The list goes on...

Sportsmanship ------yes
Attendance -------yes
Points ------------yes
Ranking -----------yes
Winning Percentage ----------yes
Team performance -----------yes
After-game participation (volume of beer is not a key issue) --------yes
Humour --------yes
General contributions to the success of the Tour ------yes
Volume of quality quotables ------ yes
She is always willing to give of herself in the name of the Slammer Tour. It would not be the same on Tour without her, plus, I get to golf a lot.

#2 Ticklar... With all that he puts into the Slammer Tour he could not not be a candidate. Virtually leading in all eligible award categories, he also is a figurehead on tour. He will and does try to improve the tour in any ways that he knows how. Again, the tour would not be the same on Tour without him.

#3 Hacker. Who doesn't wanna play with Hacker. He can beat the big boys one day and then lose to any of us trying to climb the ranks. Awesome! He is always fun to play with no matter what kind of game he brings. He is a great stat man as he always measures up on the lists. Finally, once again, it would not be the same on Tour without him.

1. Sunny....it's his time.....played well in majors....always in good spirits( or into the spirits)....works for the Sun.....

2. Sutty - good competitor, and good sport. Enjoys a good game and good conversation.

3. Pommie - Give him a break he can't help being English

Chef - Terrific competitor, great game and you feel good playing him even when he's kicking your As*,

Mother: Awesome humour, generous, great sport, supportive, willing to drive crazy distances to participate. Shoots a good game and good photos. In general a pleasure and wonderful addition to Slammers this past year.

PizzaMan: Has become a real contender, perennial volunteer to Slammer acitivites, great addition to the OC line up this season. Kind, supportive sportsman. (well except to ZenGirl...he's always mean to me and calls me names...what did I do to deserve that?)

Sunny: Our very own resident "Dr. Evil" Sunny brings an awesome sense of humour to anyone's Slammer day. He is fun, a good competitor and keeps a good balance between competition and sportsmanship. His efforts related to the Sun Scramble must be mentioned and his leadership role in preparing the Ellie Palloza sneak attack on Rulz is just another example of his contribution. Besides, he is an awesome public speaker and I will enjoy listening to his acceptance speech.

1. Grumpy (he's always there!)
2. Bookie (always game for the game)
3. Golden Girl (love a woman that sounds like a sailor on leave in Pearl Harbor!).

1 - Hacker...love to Hack
2 - Pizzaman...love pizza
3 - ProZee...love Pro V's

Tough to find top Slammies when there are so many, but here they are:

1 = This was a difficult choice between this couple, The Muise's, both improved their game enormously, Pizzaman drop his scoring avg. by app. 7 strokes and after winning the "C" division he challenged for the B champ .The way he played i thought he'd become an "A" player, maybe next year.

As for the rest of the qualification, attendance, sportsmanship, humor and the way he handled the elements, i.e., 16 Oct at the Canadian in fridged weather in shorts by the way , there's something the matter with that lad, must be alcohol in his veins or something. Congrats Mike you've earned my vote for #1.

2= Well this is another tough one there were so many opponents i faced this year ,but i'm having a hard time choosing a repeater, i like to spread the wealth you know, well Ironmaiden or Shades.

Lisa you got my vote for 2nd which i could of easily given #1 for a stellar year. First time breaking 80, first eagle and a second one to boot . I saw the first one from the trap at Cedarhill #17.

At first i thought she stepped on a wasp nest, prancing, flaying her arms in the air, putter in the air swing at whatever, God help this poor woman, sorry my mistake it was her happy dance. Oh yes, i almost forgot the concerned 4 some tee-ing next us ???? I think the gentleman is still looking for his ball . Congrats Ironmaiden.

3= Shades , proud , fair , gentleman , even takes a good ribbing . One down fall , but this is what i like about him the most he hates playing against older People ..... Thanks Bob just keep on bringing your dollars the Seniors way , all donations accepted , no receipts . One more thing at the Ottawa Sun Scramble the son of a gun beats me for closest to the pin by inches and what does he do with the money ? No wrong , he DONATES it to The Kids Wish Foundation , Very Nice . That's it .

1 = Pizzaman 2 = Ironmaiden 3 = Shades

Cuba number 1 for his ho in 1
Pizza Man number 2, cause he gets IM in the sack
Bookie number 3 for enthusiasm in his golden years....

1st choice – deejay – leads the tour with smiles, and i have never heard a controversy regarding this guy. sportsmanship aside – he has stats and accomplishments and everybody enjoys playing with him

2nd choice – cuba – in his third year – he has become an OC and does a great job doing so – donates prizes -

3rd choice – iron maiden – for my third year in a row i am going to write that the Maiden will be the first two time winner

About Our Sponsors

Bill "Billiards" Ryan and his lovely wife, Carole, graciously supplied The Tour with the Preston Cup.

About The Cup

The Preston Cup was named after the Ryan family's dog, Preston. While he wasn't the best-looking, nor the best-smelling nor was he the friendliest dog around, he was fun and tremendously personable... and those are the traits of the Slammer of the Year.

Remember, the Slammer of the Year is voted on by your peers, so work your magic and make some allies.
