Desert Double Down Update #1

Nutcrackers-

Your days of glory, your days of once again retelling the same stories in a pot of man soup is right around the corner. So, change the spikes, mark your balls, and break out your Speedos, cause the cup is here.

However, concern weighs heavy on the finely tuned athletes of the Cup, because of a repeat location...will it be dull as the repeat offers no adventure and excitement? Well....now, now don’t you worry as a beloved comrade finally joins us- once known for being a man's man from the most remote Alaskan locations with a deep love for Rainier and Bear sausage, he has traded it all in for tight pants and the glitter and dreams of LA trying to replace Turtle in the next horrible Entourage movie. That's right it is Whitey...ready to showcase his new Hollywood talents and add that spark as he shakes up a cosmo for G while standing poolside with a glowing LA tan. Reports are that his keen fashion sense and hair styles will replace Muddy and PK earning him best dressed on the course. So, put the concerns to bed because the evening banter just got a little more interesting and the oil checking a serious concern. In addition, dipsticks of an 11 pax van are said to be twice as long as a normal vehicle and with Whitey on location, maybe stupid Kinger tricks will come out!

This year's cup is serious business as many, although would never agree to say, fervently desire to take the coveted FYMA Cup home. Getting your name engraved on it by Mudro after his fifth Rum and Coke is nothing short of exhilarating- it is a defining moment in one's life, for us who have won- a crowning achievement that sets us far above the rest of you losers. It earns praise and admiration from your friends and house guests(for the short period the wife let's you keep it in eye shot of visiting folk) and your children gawk in awe as Daddy has once again proven he is the best! So, for some like G who still is yet to gain glorious father praise, bringing home the Cup is a big deal.

TD's Top Ten Christmas List items:

10- PK wear's purple and pink checkered tight pants that tear in his back swing on the last hole of the tourney that sends his drive OB and his score in the toilet.

9- Mudro gets diagnosed with sleep apnea- gaining him access to that funny machine so we don’t hear his snoring from the Casita.

8- Clarke swings so hard that his back gives out again on the last day allowing us to watch him hobble the course using a putter and sand rake as canes.

7- G hits a drive over 200.

6- Whitey and Kinger "borrow" a club's golf cart for an evening drive....

5- Kinger cant lose again on the black jack table and Vis wins more than he does backing him.

4- Clarke actually gets up to get his own drink and gets someone else one

3- Rivs makes a hole in one off a tree that propels him into the lead over Chaser and Chop who both act like they don’t mind, but both secretly take a Sharpie to his right forearm while he is sleeping leaving..."My girl friend works at the Tilted Kilt".

2- We all continue to get up last while Chop gets up first, making him feel obligated to make us all breakfast.

1- After four amazing rounds of golf, your TD loses by one stroke on the last putt of the last day to anyone of you chuckleheads that brings back the throwing days of old that sends his trusted putter via a perfect 2-bounce laser throw splashing into a nearby water hazard. Reasons: 1- I want a new putter, 2- I miss doing that, and 3- I don’t want to take the trophy home after Muddy is done with it this year!

Happy Holidays!
