John Hager chalked up his 2nd “700” of the year with a 719 series on the Town and Country League. He’s been throwing a good ball this year. John’s average on that league is a 201. Hager sports a 194 average on the Hometown League!
Jon Standaert converted the 4-7-10 split to save a whopping 162 game!! (“Melby” told me to put this in the paper, Jon!!). Jon sports a 196 average!!
On the Senior circuit, we had three 600 series last week: Doug Standaert – 636, Pete Peterson – 606, and Chuck Frieburg – 604. Three gals put up 200 games on the Thursday Nite League: Lindsey Dikeman – 204, Sherri Stevens – 202, and Karla Obermueller 201.
A Little Poem for Seniors
Another year has passed and we’re all getting a little older,
Last summer felt hotter and winter seems much colder!!
There was a time not long ago when life was quite a blast,
Now I fully understand about living in the past.
We used to go to weddings, football games and lunches…
Now we go to funeral homes and after-funeral brunches.
We used to go out dining, and couldn’t get our fill,
Now we ask for doggie bags, come home and take a pill.
We used to often travel to places near and far,
Now we get sore simply from riding in a car!
We used to go to nightclubs and drink a little booze,
Now we stay home at night and watch the evening news.
That, my friend, is how life is, and now my tale is told.
So enjoy each day and live it up, before you’re too darn old!!!

To my golfing friends…
A man was walking down the street when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.
The man took out his wallet, extracted ten dollars and asked, “If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead of dinner?”
“No, I had to stop drinking years ago,” the homeless man replied.
“Will you spend this on green fees at a golf course instead of food?” the man asked.
“Are you NUTS!” replied the homeless man. “I haven’t played golf in 20 years!”
“Well,” said the man, “I’m not going to give you money. Instead, I’m going to take you home for a hot shower and a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.”
The homeless man was astounded. “Won’t your wife be furious with you for doing that?”
The man replied, “That’s okay. It’s important for her to see what a man looks like after he has given up drinking and golf. ”
