Quotables
Potter's introduction today got a good laugh. I am including it here. "A slammer in our first group's says "We should be grateful for being part of a very privileged minority able to play a game on grounds meticulously prepared for our enjoyment." The host of these grounds we are on is this next slammer. But please don't call these grounds a field. Because that would make this course Potter's Field. And that's just not right."
"Very little rain, we no complain."
"Body by Buffet!!"
"The DD Slugfest is over."
"I hit that one into someones backyard pool." ...."This time of year, it may be a frozen pool."
"Four House!!"
"Grumpy wore bright colours knowing it is hunting season."
"Sit UBI Sit. Good Dog."
"Wow that Janice Joplin had a great voice."...."I'm going to include her in the write up."
Event: Brockville Sun Oct 15, 2017
Summary
While rain pelted Ottawa, a rainless bubble formed over Brockville making for a perfect day. Ten slammers made their way down to the lakeside town for the last monthly event of the year at the BCC. As always, Potter and the BCC team were gracious hosts for all of us. Of interest, as a trial for the month of October, the course switched holes 1,2, and 3 with holes 10, 11 and 12 which formed an east 9 and a west 9. They are asking for feedback on this switch to see how it may be received as a permanent change. It definitely gave us regulars a different feel to the course without a dramatic change. Afterwards, we all settled in for the 19th hole in the upstairs lounge. Also a nice change of pace looking out on the Curling sheets. For the record, the pints taste just as good upstairs as downstairs in the usual lounge!! Thanks Brockville for a great year of golf. I know we are already looking forward to 2018!! .............................................. .......................................... .......................................... Mulder Out
