We should totally take a group photo.
And we can all
smile just like this!That’s a
fine idea.
Look at that bag,
Dave.
I know. It’s mesmerizin
g.
Guys! Check out my hair. We should all totally wear our hair like this in the
group photo.
I cannot take my
eyes off this damn bag!
What the hell is Dave
looking at?
Good point, Jim. I don’t think we’re going to be able to stand next to each
other in the photo either what with both of us having the same color hats
and all. That’s a shame. Hmph.
Lou’s hair looks completely
ridiculous. I am not taking my hat off for the photo.

Bill Graves working on his game in the off-season. This drill is called “grip it and go”. “It really helped me learn to keep my weight off my heels and my head down” – Bill Graves.
Bill Graves’ passion for eating crabs (2006 photo) reached fever-pitch in 2008 when he bit the leg off a live crab on Rehoboth Beach. Dawson still owes him $5.

The take-away … loaded …Nice follow-through.
Matt Glick, unable to make the Penn St. golf team, decided to join the fencing team and was an incredibly successful swordsman in college. Known as the “Nittany Lion”, Matt is shown above skewering an opponent with his trademark “superman”.
Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy. Oh, boy! I

After a dismal 1-3-0 showing in 2008, Bishop ended up winning the 2008 PWAEGL Championship with teammate Dave Farrar. 2009’s RC was another lack-luster performance. Can Bishop shake off the demons for the 2010 cup?

Dawson and fellow cupper Bishop sing a classic karaoke duet at the Purple Parrot in downtown Rehoboth Beach.
Dawson is known to be a bit of a penny pincher. Here is a photo of him from Christmas 2008.

If I can't get my horsey name changed to “Silver Stud” I want to be “Swollen Vein”. Coming to the line it's “Swollen Vein” by a head . . . he he he he . . . got to remember to write that one down.
Despite being 3rd to sign up for the race, Barry Cottle crosses the finish line 3rd from last . . . And down the stretch they come – it’s “Old Glue Bag” trailing by 40 lengths.

Eric Rossol is all about the fundamentals and proper warm up. Here he is demonstrating the “I Dream of Jeanie” stretch – perfect form! Eric Rossol left the states in 2007 to pursue
solar power technology development in the UK. After seeing a solar powered golf cart (below left), Eric developed a solar-powered golf bag (below right). Eric now works for Raytheon outside of Boston, MA.

Course Etiquette
Dubbs’ DogmaSlow Play: How to Play Fast Enough to Avoid Getting Thrown Off the Course
In and around the fairway• Play ready golf. You should be ready to hit immediately after the person hitting before
you. This means you should be preparing to hit your shot while the person hitting before you is getting ready to hit his.
On and around the green• Place your bag or park your cart in a location that allows for a quick exit to the next tee.• Play out of turn when ready to help speed play along.• Help out your partner or opponents that need a trap raked or bag moved.• Place your ball down on the green immediately after another putts.• Line up the putt when others are putting so that you just walk up and hit it when it’s
your turn.• Finish putts – continue putting until you hole out whenever possible.• Walk quickly.
In general• Close gaps as they open in front of you. Even if the group behind you is nowhere in
sight, you should continue to push to stay with the group in front of you.
Trajcevski Tips: Beer Cart Girl Etiquette
When talking to cart girls, always:1. Make eye contact. The eyes are the first thing you should look at, not the
last. You know who you are.2. Offer pleasantries. It's always nice to hear, "Hi there, how are you doing
today?" It makes the cart girl feel more like a human and less like a cooler with breasts.
3. Buy something. Even a bottle of water or peanut butter crackers makes a difference to their inventory and by extension their salesmanship and by extension their good standing with their manager.
4. Remember their names. Yep, that’s the same girl you saw 9 holes ago. If you're going to ask them to visit your hotel room, it's the least you can do.
5. Tip. Think of them as waitresses on wheels--except they put up with a lot more petting, squeezing and bad jokes. A few dollars is always welcome.
And please, please don't:1. Pretend you don't see them. If you're not hungry or thirsty, a simple,
"We're good, thanks," is a polite form of rejection.2. Give them sugary pet names. "Baby," "Dollface," "Sweetheart"--you're
not Humphrey Bogart, and they're not your moll.3. Ask for their phone number, e-mail address or what time they get
off. This is especially true if you're more than 10 years north of us – excluding yours truly of course. They're here to mix drinks, get some sun and make some cash--not meet their soul mate, or bed mate.
4. Make them wait Time is money. They shouldn't have to sit there while your group putts out/tees off before you tell them you don't want anything.
5. Try to buy them drinks from their own cart. Leave that to me.
