Our astute Brothers, Mr TIMY, along with Captain Herbster, will have no problem gathering participants, as well as the WD40 that greases the palms of society. Being a Marketing major, and of the same mindset as Brother Yero, I fully appreciate his first draft of the cumoniwannalayu

Terry, I don't play GOLF. Butt, I might be persuaded to. Your handicap will be set by the committee. If you want stuff never done, appoint a committee. You can probably LOBBY the committee,

Billy,

Our move to CO has been just about all we could have expected. We had vacationed here in different parts of the year but never for more than about two weeks at a time. Ft Collins is a great college town with around 130,000 and growing. Denver is a short hour away so we can be in the city just like Miami if we choose.

Lots of biking, hiking and did I mention 5 breweries and micros. Life is good here, but your invite to the DOOZIE is food for thought. I am not a golfer so I would have to assist with scoring, gathering food, and protecting the females. I bet you did not know that I was once the Miami News High School Golf Coach of the Year in 1983 while at Gables. One rule to all the golfers was " Kid, you better go see the pro and get a lesson if you want to play on this team." Had a great bunch of high school golfers and I tried to stay out of their way. Paid off, they won the county champtionship so I won the award for coaching. Who would have ever thought such??

Better run and keep this short. jACK

To respond to Jack's comment...DeVane had told me you were the golf coach for a time at Gables, but didn't know you were "coach of the year"....wow.....when it came to Golf I can only recall when we all played at the 9 hole course on So.

Re: "The Doozie II " Memorial Golf Tournament (2)

Posted at 05/30/2008 08:56:48

Turtle,

Your comments brought a smile to my face remembering those days at the par 3 course and how the PUTTER ONLY round was a day to not be forgotten.

Yes, I did have to go the the Miami News for a picture taken as Coach of the Year and i did sort of want to go in by the side door in case there was a real golfer around. My kids were great that year and most knew of my limited knowledge of the game but the also were aware that in team golf if you cannot beat the guys head to head then he played and you sat and watched. I had some upset parents when we went to state and some stayed home especially since we had a girl who was in the top three. She went on to be an All American at UM and professional golfer.

The DOOZIE sounds like a lot of fun and maybe we can all gather there in the future even if some play and others watch and make sure the rules are followed. Colorado has been great to us and we can not ask for more. You and all are welcome since Cynthia now has the house ready for visitors. McLEAN has been out a couple of time over the past year since his daughter lives south of us in Boulder and is expected here in about two weeks. Lots of fun especially in the summer with the warm months ahead. Hope all is well with you and family, I see your GATORS are in the baseball regional with FSU. You know who I am rooting for.\\

Dear Billy,

The pictures are in the mail, and there are some very good ones. Perhaps the best is the diver in the expedition sent out to find the tropry Manny pitched off the bridge on the way home from Dooziie I, Doozie at St Lucie. Second beat shot in my opinion, from the Doozie II, Brothers in arms ,was a tie between Herb and his stoogie, and David Steger. Actually, the one I liked the best did not come out and it was of Manny prematurely accepting the third place trophy the night before the final round. It was too dark so I deleted it. Priceless! I still have a copy if anyone wants to see Geronimo at his finest.

I have sent a disc of over 100 of the best of over 220 pictures I took to Billy, Jerry, and Herb. They will I assume forward their favorites to the powers that be, and if enough of you attend the reunion, you might even see them on the Stags web site. I unfortunately will not be able to attend, as I will be at a fifty year family reunion in England. If anyone wants to see them all, let me know and I'll be glad to send you a disc with the entire collection, of course, for a small stipend. Not really, let me know and I'll make you a copy.

My first attempt at naming the committee is the most obvious but catchy," We unbribeable, but by all means make an offah".

Does anyone have David Stegers address, I'd like to send him my picture of him. Please send it to me.

I love you all, even weak Tit Geronimo!

Mucho Amore,

Turtle and Jack:
I used to play on that Dixie Hwy course a lot; because my dad owned a store not far from there. I would take off when he got in, go down there and play all the time.

I learned a lot of 'golf' on that course and even had 2 holes in 1(both on the same hole - one at night and one during the day!).

It is also where I used to hit 2 and 3 large buckets of balls at a time (when I was in better shape of course)...

It was called Colonial Palms. I'll never forget Gardner Dickenson showed up one evening when I was there with my friends and golfing buddies back then - Ray Mendel, Jock Mills and Tom Woodworth... he gave a free lesson by playing the whole course all the way around. It was an experience well worth it and one I will always cherish...

Re: "The Doozie II " Memorial Golf Tournament (2)

Posted at 06/01/2008 11:33:02

TIM,

Actually Colonial Palms was a step up for us. We
were at small Pitch and Putt Par 3 course that was on Dixie Highway around 80th street where today is a Tony Roma's and needless to state a Starbucks. We lived in that neighborhood around 84th street before moving by Red and Blue Roads.

We did eventually move on to Colonial Palms after the Pitch and Putt was leveled. Had some great times at both places growing up. I had almost forgotten about Colonial Palms which is now housing and of course, your South Florida strip mall.

Dear Jack,
We would love to have you attend Doozie III, "Loaded For Bear". I can promise you that it will be well worth the trip from Colorado.. I have flown from Kentucky into West Palm Beach rented a vehicle and driven about 55 minutes north to Port St. Lucie the last two years, and I can vouch for the fact that it's worth the expense and the hassle of getting there. It is a great bunch of guys, and we we have a fun time and great brotherhood. I had not seen any of this crew for over forty years, and I'm very glad I was able to reconnect with the Stags brothers.

Whether or not you golf, please plan on coming next year. I guaronteeeeee, You will have a wonderful time.
Much Love,

We have been advised that you are the best golfer of all the brothers. We would really like you to take part in the Doozie III,
Loaded for Bear". The last two years you were unable to attend because of family commitments. We understand that family matters take precedence, but please, let's not let another year go by without your participation. We need your game to put the whuppersnappers in their place. Plus, I know I speak for all the brothers when I say we would love to see you, and have you be a part of it.

I never knew about you coaching golf or the awards for it. ...Way to go boy! You said you "just stayed out of their way". You always had a soft side to you which made people feel at ease around you. I"m sure you made a great coach and as for the lessons, I'm also sure you gave a few lessons yourself.

I'm glad you have your home finished and you live in an area you love. I was married to Vicki in Golden CO. It has taken a while for my wife and I to adjust being back in Florida after living in Nashvile TN so long, but it's home now.

When you come to the Doozie your welcome to stay with us . I'll make Carpenter sleep in the Teke Hut. Better yet maybe two or three of us could pry Aguilar out of his room....he brings his own sign and puts it on the door.

Thanks for the advice and hope to see you soon........

Billy: I learned a little about ambushing and kidnapping in Vietnam - that is one reason I got home in one piece ... If I have anything at all to do with Turtle showing up next year, he will be there (but may need some golf attire and some golf clubs) - I know you have extra wrestling tights and shorts so that should be no problem?

(And everyone except me and John H - and maybe Gaston - carry several extra clubs in their bags illegally - so I know supplying him with as many clubs as he needs won't be a problem either!)..

lest we forget... The most honorable Chief of Format will have to make some decisions on number of clubs and other such violations according to the USGA Rules... I am sure he is up to the task and along with the committee ('them') can come to some sort of meaningful exceptions...

Please confirm their reservations, and intent to participate at least a month or so in advance, so I can make other plans on where to stay. I will gladly give up "The Casbah" if it means another brother will come and be a part of the Doozie III , Loaded For Bear".

Re: "The Doozie II " Memorial Golf Tournament (2)

Posted at 06/03/2008 06:50:05

Dearest Stevey My Boy:
I am aware of the rules of golf (and not just the ones you wanna bees choose to use to your advantage). I recall a big to-do about the tees in the fairway (a legally acceptable and pre-announced handicap in my case) being a slanderous factor in not seriously considering my score)... I suppose if we were on even ground as we should be always, whereas every rule was treated literally, you and everyone else (but me and John H; and possibly Gaston) would have been disqualified.

It is your problem that you guys use only your own interpretation (What is a rule and what is not)... Having been a player in earlier days that played for large sums of money, I am totally aware that all rules apply to all players unless there is a preannounced exception (Like 'lift, clean and place', used in some instances on the PGA tour).

I do not recall anyone saying the number of clubs rule could be violated. That rule cost Ian Woosnan 2 strokes in the US Open a couple of years ago. He left a practice Driver in his bag from the practice tee - his caddy noticed it after he had already teed off with his first shot (He threw the driver in a pond after it was discovered)... So do not tell me there are not consequences because there are! In all of your cases, the extra clubs were not 'announced' and were in the bags the whole tournament (That is a DQ Bubba!)...

Turnabout is fair play and if you guys had not drummed my condition into the ground so much, and accused me of cheating, you would not have to suffer the consequences of your own ignorance of the rules.

As far as playing - trying to play well is what everyone does, even me (and without breaking any rules, unlike you guys)... The Chief of Format will hopefully state any rules exceptions for next year. This I also hope will put all of your concerns to rest - as for me, I have no concerns because I actually no the rules; and do not 'cheat'. I will not say anything else about this at all because it is a dead subject as far as I am concerned. I think everyone should do the same.

To My Dear Brothers,
Those of you who are living within striking distance ought to come to DOOZIE III "Loaded for Bear" ! It was great fun ! Living in the sticks, as I do, I had to catch a ride with my lovely wife, Janey, who had visits to Miami, and Tallahassee, planned. The whole excursion lasted 2500 miles, 7 days in Motels, (most of which I don't want to see again), I had to hitchhike a round trip ride from Brother Stebbins from the neck of the Keys to PSL and back. And the expense was in the $2500 plus neighborhood. All the bills are not in. It lasted 2 weeks, and I can verify that the time at Miss Vicki and Billy's was the most wonderful part. I don't mind sleeping in the Tiki Hut, if I can get tie-down straps for my body. I slept in the Casbah one night with Aguilar, and he had the effing nerve to wake me up and tell me I was snoring too loud. Hell, I had just drifted off listening to the Kentucky wind pipes he carries around with him. Whoever needs a bed most, should have one. Actually, if I had a one-man raft with ballast and tie-downs, the pool is fine for me. I plan to be back, unless uninvited.

Love All of You,
Jerry '65

Mark,
Please come see for yourself what a fabulous time we have at the Doozie. I know I heard some rumors of you possible attendance, but unfortunately, we did not get to see you this year. Please don't let the next year go by without your presence at this fun event. Billy is the best, and him and Miss Vicky open their home and their hearts to us all., It is really big fun, and in spite of all the BS on the site, ask anyone who has had the pleasure of being there, once we are all together, the energy, the closeness, and the brotherhood is sublime. It is so wonderful to spend time with all these good guys and gals (though rare) after all these years. Believe me when I tell you that time is growing short for all of us, and whether we know it or not, these opportunities to enjoy each other's company are fading fast.. Please come next year. Start planning now.

I will warn you that if Herb brings chili again, it is only to be eaten after a strong dose of Pepto Bismol. My companions on the flight back to Kentucky paid dearly for my unprepareredness as a judge in the Great Chili cookoff, won by Gaston, my favorite chef, next to Miss Vickie of course.

Check the pictures on the web site after Billy gets Kavney to post them, and you will notice some beautiful smiles on all the faces, especially the shit eating grin on John's, Gaston's, Manny's Jerry's, Herb's, Art's, Billy's, John Haviland's (my favorite Count next to Manny of course) and everybody's face including the Commodore and Miss Dawn and of course my favorite hostess Miss Vickie.

Please join the party, you will really enjoy the festivities, I promise.
Mucho Amore,

Timmy,
Deduct the two strokes for having clubs over the limit for each offender, including yours truly, subtract them from the score, and what effect does it have on the final standings and your placement. I believe not much, though I would have to consult my partner to verify this statement. Quit whining, you got beat on the course. Start practicing, you have a year to get your act together. What ever happened to the twenty dollar bet we had on low score. I can't help but notice it has never been mentioned.

Double or nothing next year seems fair to me.

Buckbean,

I believe you are unaware of the timbre of your TENNESSEE pipes. Admittedly, the libations consumed on the boat in the search for Manny's missing trophy multiplied the volume of my snoring, and I know I must saw some serious logs, but Bro, take it from me I'm a piker in comparison to your Basso profundo snores, which reminded me of nothing more than the deep roar of a big monster seal on the rocks in Santa Cruz.

Just between us, Billy confided in me that they did not sleep a wink the second night, after you moved out of The Casbah, and into the room adjacent to their bedroom. MIss Vickie said what brief vestiges of slumber they recall, were interwoven with John Cougar Mellencamp's lyrics from the song Crumblin Down, that go "When the walls come Tumblin down, Tumblin Down". They were absolutely certain Florida's first ever earthquake had occurred, and it's epicenter in was in Port St Lucie, on SE Hanby Ave.

Nevertheless, if we do get evicted to make room for new participants, I would be proud to have you share my hotel room. Blood is thicker than water, earplugs are dirt cheap. and us Noles must stick together in Gator, and Gangsta U country.
Mucho Amore,
Bucko

Steve,

I have had the pleasure of experiencing Billy and Vicky�s generous hospitality on a number of occasions. It is absolutely second to none but after spending a week in the keys with Billy he wouldn�t consider letting me stay in the room adjacent to his. I think Jerry and I would be banished to the Tiki Hut. (I still think the accusations are purely delusional)

I don�t see your name on the list for the reunion, are you going to make it? I have a few guys that I was in Counts with that still live in Miami and am seriously considering going. Maybe I could hood wink Billy into sharing a room, probably not.

I am planning to make every effort to attend the Doozie III. I live in North Carolina and have had commitments from Billy to come up for the past 3 years but to date he has been a no show. If he does (as he has committed again this year) maybe we could get together in Tenn. somewhere.

Thanks for the invite and maybe we will meet soon.

Mark

Re: "The Doozie II " Memorial Golf Tournament (2)

Posted at 06/04/2008 06:42:32

Mark: You should 'seriously' consider the reunion but there is a deadline for attendance list - look at the info on the reunion thread and get going!

We will make sure your room is right next to Billy's (adjoining too!) so the snoring battle can continue - who needs sleep anyway!

Last words... Steve... carrying the extras the whole round is not 2 strokes, it is DQ ... 2 strokes would be for 1 hole (and only the first hole played). There is a very good reason for this rule or it would not be one... and you should read up on why it DOES affect the 'potential' outcome... BUT I do agree with you that we (including me and you) should concentrate on playing better next year - I plan on it and being a lot more competition for you guys next year - and I hope you do too because it is always fun for me; regardless of any rules or outcome. Next year should be full of good surprises.

Jerry: $2500 ???? What did you do, drive an 18 wheeler down and stop at every bar and grill serving lobster tails? (Oh, I know - it was $500 for the trip and $2,000 for the beer and moonshine, right? That should be acceptable to anyone)!

Billy and Jim, For a while, I thought you Brothers fragged the entire Internet !! I saw some REALLY weird stuff about snoring that I could not comprehend. I even saw some people I have never met talking about snoring. (BTW Mark, it was 98 this PM between Winston-Salem and Wilkes County NC(the home of Shine and NASCAR)).

I am really glad ALL is back on track !!

Love to all Brothers, Sisters, and Kindred Souls.

Jerry,

It would seem that we both have had the pleasure of depriving Mr. Adams of sleep according to his accusations of our snoring.

I live in Greensboro and they admitted to 95 today, we have a place in Wilkes Co. on the Parkway and it is usually 10-15 degrees cooler on the mountain. Wish I were there.

Great pictures of the Doozie, hope to make it next year.

Saw the picture of Aguilar diving for last year's trophy. All it proves, is what we mankind has known for centuries...."SHIT FLOATS".

About the captions, had you not screwed me up on the second day, the outcome would have been alot different...Oh, but you didn't do it on purpose. Truth of the matter is, if we play fair and square, you guys don't have a chance in hell to beat us.

Guys, just want to give you fair warning Anne had me out hitting golf balls yesterday afternoon and today she had trying on golf shoes. The next Doozie may have some entry from the 50's. Oh, by the way Anne hit a HOLE IN ONE on Wednesday. Look out!! She's a winner!!

I just have to comment on the last 2 posts !
It seems ironic that the first one has the words
"caca floats " and the next one says "hole in one"
Seems to be a different attitude between the 2 !

Manny,
Tiger, Phil and Vijay don't get to pick who they play with on Sunday. They simply play good enough, no matter who they are up against, to win. You unfortunately did not. You lost in a head to head match by a considerable margin. eight strokes I believe. Man up and quit whining. You did not win because, quite simply, you got outplayed. End of story. Instead of bemoaning the fact you were not in a foursome of your choosing, and blaming Billy for your pairing with Tim and I, admit the obvious, you did not make the shots you needed to to be victorious. You lost in a not so close match. It was not a fluke, but an ass whuppin.

Rather than crying about what is now history, I recommend you practice your ass off, because after all, you have an extra five months (winter in the Bluegrass) that I don't have to play golf. Obviously, it was not enough of a head start for you this year, and in all likelihood, won't be next year either, but there is always hope. I believe that by then, Gaston will be challenging you too. One thing about match play, rather than the scramble format, you don't have John Scopetta saving your butt when you make a poor shot.

Wold you please splain it to Manny. It was not to mess up his game, but to get him to bond with his brothers. that you paired him with TIMMY and me. He thinks it was some nefarious plan to mess up his game. I know he is looking for excuses for the butt whupin, but please set him straight. I had a ball as did every one I spoke to. Good Show.

Steve: There is no need for any explanation if you consider the source. It's not black, it's white... it's not muddy, it's clear... and it's not good, it's bad.

The only key to a successful and enjoyable Memorial is only get your own best game in order, don't worry about anyone else, and play the best you can - play for fun and you can't loose - a lesson not easily learned in some cases. Next year, there will be plenty of money on the line per the committee - we will see how that enhances the pressures of 'over stated' competition !

I am winning the whole thing next year anyway... regardless of who I am paired with - it does not matter and never has.

Hey! What's up with the format? Anything written in stone yet? Lets hear any suggestions? (Like let's bet some real cash to keep it honestly interesting and put'n up or shut'n up! - or - no one can wear shorts next year... for aesthetic reasons)... Maybe visitors pay double... how about if you don't wear a purple shirt you can't play? - visitor or not!...

Also, I think we may need a format rule regarding watering the bushes while others are putting... this would be Herb's fault.

Dear Brothers and Friends,

My final statement on Doozie II, Brothers in Arms, is that I have not had such fun in a very long time. It was so great to see all of you, whether you golf or not. I hope you all enjoyed the company as much as I did. Many thanks to Billy and Miss Vickie for having us in their home, and to Jim Kaveney for posting the pictures of the event, and for getting the message board back up and running.

Take it from me that any of you guys not planning on going to the reunion are making a big mistake. Bury the hatchets, and go enjoy the brotherhood. Time is increasingly short for us all, and there are no guarantees you or anyone else will be around for the next one. I would give my eye teeth to be a part of it, however, unfortunately will not be able to attend because of previous commitments to be at a fifty year reunion of my moms family in England.

I love each and every one of you, but before I go I would be remiss to not mention that yes Manny, it's obvious that caca does float, otherwise how would you have made it to Florida.

Thanks to Jim Kavney for getting the site (Especially the message board) back up, and expending a lot of his time and frustration curing what was obviously a major and complicated problem.

It was quite difficult due to some proprietary customized software that took quite an effort to dicifer and fix. It should not happen again as the server and message board problem that caused the site to go become inaccessable has been changed to something better.

To all the Brothers still thinking of attending the Reunion July 11 and/or 12 - the doors are still wide open. We REALLY need your responses to make the final arrangements (# of meals etc)... it would be appreciated if you would all come out of the closet, basement, mancave or whatever (maybe for the first time) knowing it's o.k. You are quite late but you can still be counted as someone who cares, wants to share some time with your Stags Brothers and will be there - PLEASE ACT NOW TO JIM OR GASTON...

Dear Doozie Goers - future goers, and non-goers:

OK Let's get this thread back to the top where it belongs. The 2008 Reunion was magnificent, first class, and a great success. Those who attended had a great time - those who did not attend did not. So that's over and now we need to prepare for the next major life-event.. The Doozie 'III' in Port St Lu'cie' (Better known as Southern Canada and/or Northern Mexico.)

The first thing is we know of 3 people who will absolutely be there (whether they are dead or alive)... Billy and Vicki... the other one is me.

So what is the format? We have spoken countless hours, days, months, now years about something known as 'the format'... so we all need to know exactly what a 'format' is? What it will be ? We all need to prepare ourselves for another Doozie farther in advance because the Doozie III will be all you can eat, drink, all the b.s. you can stand, and all the Brotherhood you never knew you had but thought you might.

Old guys (all of us are now in this category) must attend without fail (Bring your own oxygen).. also... what about a fishing day on Friday??? Cook 'm up and eat them on Friday night, rather than watch Steve and Manny order everything on the menu ? Fish in the a.m. - recoup, cook and eat Friday p.m. ... Golf Saturday and (if you live through and can stand being there Friday and Saturday) more golf on Sunday...

Lastly, an idea I heard from one of the whiners (Entitled to an opinion no less),,, - does anyone want to move the Doozie to somewhere else other than Port St. Lucie? There are Brothers that live everywhere (Not just Miama and/or Miamee and/or Pt St lucie)... The original idea maker and the Father of the Doozie (Billy Adams himself) may just want to fully retire and take a break from all the whining (and may want to mess up someone elses neighborhood other than his own - I know Vicki probably does!).... maybe, maybe not - but just an idea for *discussion (Obviously it will not be held next door to everyone - some will have more inconvenience than others- we won't make everyone happy but we will help solve any issues anyone may have.

WE WANT YOU THERE STAGS... THIS HAS GROWN TO A MAJOR EVENT AND WE WANT MORE OF YOU TO ATTEND...(No date set yet for 2009 but will probably be in May)...right after hotel, renatls, golf, food and exercise classes the rates go down to help expenses. (Most pass on the exercise)...!!

OK: Throw on the b.s. Brothers... we ONLY have till next MAY to make this all work... let's hear it from everyone who wants to say something and don't be shy - we won't be...(Keep it clean; personal jokes o.k. but personal attacks not permitted- This is all in fun and that gets you thrown off for sure)...

Posted at 07/22/2008 11:04:27

SO, no responses yet... where has all the chatter gone?

The following is a conglomeration of suggestions for some new rules, taken from everyones input over the last 2 Doozies, and set up just for the Doozie III... I think these may fall into the "Format Committee" category and may require judgement by our Format Indian Chief to provide his opinion, hope there is some smoke soon:

Doozie III Suggested Rules Exceptions:

It�s OK to test the green�s surface before putting. Fondle it, nuzzle it, have a relationship with it...we don�t care (Just quit walking around while others are trying to putt, lining it up for hours and putt the damn ball!)...

Any yuppie in designer togs and with expensive graphite and/or Titanium clubs shall incur no penalty, but shall be forced to spend their after life in polyester from Target and drive a used Pinto.

If you bore everyone with shot-by-shot accounts of your round, you will be hung at the 19th hole with a used sock in your mouth.

Stadler-Lewinsky Rule: wearing kneepads and/or back and/or knee braces shall not constitute 'building a stance' and there is no penalty. Dental braces and/or loose dentures are an exception to this rule; you may not ever smile while eating (or the whole check will be your responsibility.)

Alzheimer�s Rule: if you cannot find your ball within 5 minutes, please check the ballwasher (you moron.)

You may not make any stroke with the aid of any artificial devices, except for voluptuous enhancement implants and/or valium or similar stimulants and/or depressants.

A ball that breaks into pieces when struck counts only as one stroke. (Next time, play a ball that isn�t so cheap, Mr. K-Mart close-out xx special.)

Dung in a bunker is considered a natural hazard/object and may not be moved, (unless it�s your own)...(You will be penalized 2 strokes for not removing your own)..

What do you think? Anymore suggestions?

Florida is Florida as far as I am concerned. Being a non-golfer so far, the format matters not.
However, eradicating the snakes in the palm thickets must be allowed. That is NOT foul ! (Unless the palm thicket is in someone's pool area.)
I really think a p-bottle would be less couth.

Cigars, pistons, jets, sausages, etc. Not beanie weenies in the chili, though. Before the "format" is understood, we need to figure out "venue" !

I guess that GOLF or whatever you guys call it, was playing second fiddle at the Reunion. I have not heard any bragging or strutting about so one can only assume that there were not many players or that it was "just for fun" which the Doozie men do not participate in. I did see a few shots of Gaston on the dance floor which now only adds to his reputation of being the all around male who can cook, dance and kick butt on the links.

Is there a chance that he will be going pro in any of the above or is the rumor true that he is developing a cooking show for the Food Network that will involve Extreme Cuban Dishes, which I suppose will include some type of food every once in a while. Great to see the photos break out and keep up the banter here at the Doozie.

Jack: Speaking of participation - you have till next May to make definite (No Excuses) arrangements to make the next Doozie... your attendance would definetly assist us in solving many categories of those issues lacking from the format of the first two Doozies... what format you say? No one knows...
maybe you do.

You're advice, consultation and most knowledgeable comments are indeed respected by everyone (that is until you post something stupid like the rest of us which is highly suggested)... You will need to decide on an Indian name to begin with, so get to it...

I know you are a golfer because you were one of the very best and talented athletes Gables High School ever had...if you do not play golf now, I am sure you would be good enough to beat the rest of us by the time the next Doozie rolls around.

Don't be like Jerry; he refuses to learn and play inspite of the fact that he was one of the worst athletes we ever saw (except dancing - he did pretty much of an expert monkey and quite a smooth jerk on several occasions - even without his present and often experiences with 100% proof firewater)...

Thanks for the kudos and inspiration as to my golfing abilities. I am a pretty good golfer expect that it is limited to a hand held computer known as GAME BOY. I can do all kinds of wonderful things with that little dimpled ball and sticks with funny ends. Sorry but it does not translate to the outdoors. I have a feeling Mother Earth is better off without me hacking around at her surface. I will join Jerry on the putting green after he offers me some of that Tennessee fire water along with a lot of ice and a touch of soda. I was actually the golf coach at CGHS for a couple of seasons and the number one rule was that "if you can't beat the kid in front of you then you don't play" My best advice was "you better go see the pro and get a lesson." Worked pretty well cause we went to the state tournament twice mostly cause the kids could play and I knew enough to stay out of their way. More a manager than coach in that situation.

Doozie could be a Spring time adventure so I will start checking travel to WPB since my wife's family lives there. Keep the web news lively and thanks again for the updates.

.... I expect you would be able to beat everyone 'ahead' of you like you said, if you tried... if you don't play, you can't win!

Be a man, be a coach, be a star - be a Stag and play... as far as drinking some firewater, we'll do that anyway.

Hi Brothers,
I'm back in the US, back in the US, back in the USSA. Had a ball in England, and played two British Open courses both within twenty miles of Royal Birkdale where they played the British Open this year. I played Royal Lytham and St Annes in Blackpool, just north of Southport , and Royal Liverpool Hoy Lake, on a peninsula 15 miles south of Birtkdale. Both courses like Royal Birkdale are right on the Irish sea and the wind was blowing 28 to 35 MPH. Brutal conditions on extremely narrow courses with trouble everywhere. Royal Lytham alone had 193 steep walled bunkers (some cavernous and almost impossible to advance the ball out of ) and both had rough 3
to 4 feet deep with nasty greens that you can not fly the ball onto the putting surface. You have to bounce it up and pray it does not roll off into a bunker or deep rough. Take my word for it, all this combined with the near gale force winds tested every aspect of your game, It was a brutal and humbling experience. My brother and I loved it. If you are interested, call me and I'll give you a blow by blow description of my rounds.

Hope you all had a great time at the reunion.

Mucho Amore!

Steve: welcome back--- how many balls did you loose (you forgot to say)... with 100 mile winds and 6 foot rough, you must have lost a few... did you use a caddy? They are so funny (and good time people).. I have played over there too (in the 1980's St Andrews, and Muerfield) and found it very interesting, difficult, and great fun (especially after finishing... caddies like to drink and so did I!)...

Tim TDT65

Re: "The Doozie II " Memorial Golf Tournament (2

Posted at 07/25/2008 09:15:59

Tim,
I lost a few, to be sure, but the caddies we had at Royal Lytham were outstanding at locating the ball. Many times I wished they had not found my ball so I could drop one, or hit another. Thank you very much, thank you, and well found was the appropriate response, no matter how devilish the lie, how impossible it was to get the club head to the ball, and no matter how many hacks it took you to get it back in the fairway. They were extremely funny, outrageously knowledgeable, and yes we hoisted more than a few brews upon completing the ass whuppin we took on the course.

My brother Chris and I decided that we came, we saw, and it, (the courses) conquered. I was feeling bad about my scores until I saw John Daly shoot a 28 over par on a very similar course, in better conditions than the two days we played. All of a sudden, my chin came up and I laughed till I almost cried.
Much Love
Aggie

Re: "The Doozie II " Memorial Golf Tournament (2)

Posted at 07/27/2008 11:34:38

Steve: I am sure you will always fondly remember your golf in the 'Isles' like nothing else, regardless of your score... as I have sid many times, golf is not always about how well you score but how well you play enjoying the game...
You will recall your shots and all the different views of the courses you had over and over (if you could see anything from the 4' high rough that is)... yes, the caddies are really good at finding our golf balls (They have seen it all many times before and could probably wait on you in front, within 3' of where your ball will end up!)... the reason they like to actually find the ball is so you can play it as it lies; this is what gives them motivation to drink a lot... that is a basic golf rule and is where the common Doozie theme of everyone but me playing shots in the fairway off of a tee, causes such a stir...

When I win the lottery (per Herb, I can win in Georgia pretty easy)- I will get anyone who wants to play over there on a group trip - private jet of course... hope that can happen before none of us are physically able to play...

Oh, you don't give up when you play - John Daly does... (He does not need the money either) big difference...in this regard, you are better than he is anyway!

Bucko,
Frank was not interested in playing golf. He only plays once or twice a year in a company scrambles. Following the weekend of the reunion, and 50th wedding anniversary, he and his young wife Leslie flew out to Norway for an intimate, private vacation. I think Leslie had much to do with that decision, and I think it was a wise decision for him. She is a real sweetheart and it was great to see them in England.

Call me and lets start talking about your upcoming visit to the Bluegrass. Mid to late September or early October is what I recommend to avoid the brutal heat and humidity of August. and still get the good early fall weather. Barb and I can't wait to see you and Janey.

Re: "The Doozie II " Memorial Golf Tournament (2

Tim,
If you win, I'm in. I too plan on winning the lottery soon, and if I do so before you do, you will be on the plane, and we will do all the British Open circuit. You don't have to worry about me quitting on the course or anywhere else either. Even after a train wreck of a round at Royal Lytham and St Annes, on the first tee at Royal Liverpool, Hoy Lake I was sure I would threaten par. I did par the first hole too, and hit a perfect 260 yard drive on the second that rolled out on the needle thin and lightning fast fairway to nearly three hundred on the second hole. Facing a short iron of no more than 80 or ninety yards to the green, I had visions of a sub par round. The second shot went off the back of the green, bounding into waist high rough never to be seen again even though it was less than 15 yards from the green. A drop, and six shots later I had a real nice snowman, on what should have been a birdie, or no worse than par.

Our sponsor, the member who arranged the round for us, and played with us, said" Steven, don't hang your head lad, I saw Seve shoot a nine from the same spot, and Nick Price (both winners of the Brirish Open) shoot an eight from even closer than you were". "Don't quit now" he said. I replied sir, I don't even know how to spell it, and I'll have to birdie the next to make up for this sorry hole.. That's the spirit he said with the biggest grin you ever saw. Then he said, well that's it for the easy holes, and I knew I was in trouble. He was not lying.

Much Love
Steve

Re: "The Doozie II " Memorial Golf Tournament (2)

Posted at 07/28/2008 07:54:10

Steve: Seve never got an 8 and neither did Nick Price...your co-heart was just trying to make you stay in the game and not become like John Daly (Who has gotten 12, 13 and worse!)...

Your first 2 holes sound great... even the 8 from the back of the 2nd green sounds pretty good. Perhaps the Bear would have chipped in for a 5... I've seen that before (The Bear, not Nicklaus but Adams!)... Doozie 1... 18th hole to close out the smoking Indian and fish boy.

The great looking shirts Billy bought with his own (or Vickies) hard earned money and gave to each of us this year will be repeated next year.

Everyone who participates next year will receive their very own classic styled Stags golf shirt. We will be placing this reponsibility in the "attire" committee to come up with another great looking design for a golf shirt for everyone (FYI It will most likely and/or definetly be purple and white based colors.)

The BIG difference next year is Billy is running way short due to the gas price increase... All the Mexicans in Pt St Lucie went home... so he ain't buyin' next year so we might have to sell some dougnuts before next year for the money - If you are near a Krispy Kreme you may be asked to volunteer and get rid of a few dozen ... or car washes work pretty well too (bring someone in a bikini - works better )...

Oh... make sure the one in the bikini is a young girl and not one of you...!!!

For the Doozie this year I was told to just send in one big/huge/outrageously large check... I did but was not given a detailed itemization like you did for expenditures (and do not want nor need one.) Whatever this covered and however it was spent was worth it and turned out great!...

The $25 for your $50 Stags shirt (on 'your' detailed statement and/or 'insider information' not including tax and tip, shipping and delivery) was REALLY for the memory and honor of being in the presence of such valued company AND was atually spent on the pool water (according to my sources) - the pool was empty before we got there because of a water shortage in Pt St Lucie (caused by Canadiens who don't follow US rules regarding watering restrictions)...

There are no refunds unless you return to enjoy further Doozie events in the future. At that time, I have been told by a highly reliable source that you'll be permitted to drink all the pool water you want to your heart's content.

Is that before or after Steve goes on his diving expedition in search for Manny's trophy???????

Gaston:

I was thinking the same thing - maybe it would be wiser for Terry to try and get his fill before the diving expedition (when there is still a little water left in the pool)... and we can always get a large empty jug filled in advance, for Terry to use at his liesure. I think I saw dozens of empty jugs laying around in Billy's garage (Or maybe by his computer - can't remember!)...

Why don't we start a "Doozie 3" Thread. Newbies might think of this "Doozie 2" Thread as the last event we had. If you keep posting here, you will only confuse people. They need a place to visit for a "New Event". Take all of the information (that is known now) and put it on two threads. One for time, places, deadlines and amounts and one thread for general conversation on the topic. If the basic structure is established early then there will be less confussion later.
With this type of setup you will have direction along with one stop shopping on where to go for info and where to go for conversation.
Just a thought.
Terry Grant contacted me with his thoughts on a GROUP Game/Activity for the event. He will explain later. It's alot like horseshoes.

I am all in favor of a D-III site. The group activity sounds like tomato fights. "You know, almost only works in horseshoes, handgrenades, and really ripe tomatos" Do we have to go battle creek "in the hammock" to enjoy this ???

Doozie III,
My message to all brothers who have not had the pleasure of getting together in Port St Lucie, is you have missed a truly fun event. We would love to have more of you join us, whether you golf or not. Even those who don't play have a ball. The golfing is just an excuse to spend a fun couple of days together.

That being said, if you do golf, we compete like true Stags. All out. The scramble day allows all players to participate in, and enjoy the competition, in spite of how polished, or unpolished their game may be. The second day we will find out who the best golfers are, who shoots the low score that day, and maybe who runs home with their tail between their legs. A great time will be had by all, I promise. No matter who takes home the trophy, all who come and are a part of Doozie III are winners. Time is getting increasingly short for us all. Please join us in this fun event, and please don't make us beg you to come like Manny does..
Mucho Amore,
El Tigre del Norte

Brothers,

I just got off the phone with Gaston, and we agree that anyone who does not show up for Doozie III, is missing the greatest of fun times. We try to keep it light, no matter how heavy the repartee is leading up to the event. All are welcome, and a really fine time is had by all. If you can, please come and join in the fun. I promise you won't regret it, and In spite of some very serious trash talking leading up to the Doozie, once we are all together, all the BS is forgotten, and the true loving spirit of Stags brotherhood prevails. Billy and Miss Vickie are the most gracious hosts, and anyone who has attended will attest to the fact that peace, brotherhood, and harmony is the order of the day.

Be there or be square.
Much Love,
Steve Aguilar AKA El Tigre del Norte

Dear Dooziers past and present....
There is a new DOOZIE III thread... although the humor and smoke is on this current thread, anal Herb suggested we strat one just for the upcoming event next year... I think it is a good idea but Herb no longer has the balls to start one himself - so I will ! We shall continue to bark and banter and plan for the next Doozie on the DOOZIE II thread 0- so drop this one and put all you BS on the new one. especially our newest member comic with a fake name... good start.

TimY, You will notice that my name was left off the last shot across your bow. That is for the simple reason that I had zero to do with these inane comments. Obviously, these astute brothers thought that your instructions were meant for them. I on the otherhand, appreciate you reaching out to all Brothers. This will insure that there is NO excuse to NOT KNOW when the next blast will take place !!

Bet this won't be the last post or word on this thread :>)}

Timmy,
I think Manny has had an Od on Wampum. He hit that bowl once to often, in his futile attempt to block out the memory of the bitter taste of defeat, and now can not even crawl out of the Teepee into the daylight to send up smoke signals. I heard he is now rumored to be stuck in the teepee amusing himself by throwing darts at a certain diver's hind quarters. I also heard he has not hit the bulls eye once, the same problem he had with his approach shots missing the greens, and putts not hitting the hole in the Doozie II. Even his#1 cheerleader Herb pulled me aside and mentioned to me how surprised he was that Geronimo was coming unglued, unraveling early in the match, and appeared to be folding his tent. Herb said he just did not seem to have what it takes to triumph against the elders. We will totally annihilate the whuppersnappers next year, and it will be easy because we already have demoralized their star player. I can't wait.

See you there.
Mucho Amore.

Dear Mo RON,
I did reply on Doozie II. Can't you even count. Oops there is that word again. I think the massive quantities of Jack Daniels has rotted you cabeza. Get your shit together, and by the way, El Tigre del Norte does not now, nor has he ever been known take authoritarian dictates kindly. He has never responded well to being told what he has to do. Ask Buckbean, and he will attest to my intransigence in the face of taking orders. Since Santa never came to El Tigre's house, he is truly a rebel without a Claus. El Tigre will reply on whatever fooking thread he feels like at any given moment, and if you don't like it, tough caca for you and the committee.

Since your whining about the fact that all the players who beat you had too many clubs in their bag failed miserably, NOW YOU WANT TO DISQUALIFY ME FOR POSTING ON THE WRONG SITE Get this through your skull. El Tigre will be back to defend the title, and his partner El Oso Grande will be healthy this coming year. No matter how many lessons with the pro you and The Chief pay for, between now and Doozie III, they will be to no avail. You and the rest of the MMA gang will be toyed with, like a cat with a mouse, then completely destroyed. I believe you have a better chance of taking home the chile trophy (the line in Vegas now stands at 100 to 1 against you on that bet), than the trophy that will be won or lost on the links.

To make you happy, I will post my response to your direct orders on both sites. But back off buster, and instead of worrying about silly inconsequential stuff like the location of posts, work on keeping your drives in the short grass, and hitting greens in regulation.

Mucho Amore!
Steve Aguilar
