2021 GENESEE BREWERY GOLF LEAGUE BANQUET & AWARDS

"Wheels" always wheeling and dealing trying to get us a better price with Mark, the manager at Shamrock Jacks

...a few early revelers looking to wet their whistles...

"No Laurie, you can't have my shirt but we could be purple partners!"

First place master trophy + a yard-of-beer trophies to team "Party of Fore".  Note the bowling trophies for least valuable and least improved.

...show me the money inside each of these envelopes...

Brother Gregg's first year in the league.  I think he'll be back.

Tim may have been trying to say grace?

...first pitcher of Genny Octoberfest killed...

Our good friend Don doesn't need a glass...his partner will drive him home.

I think they are looking down stream at the guys with the glasses.

...nope, they ain't right...

...thank you Janine and GBCo...

...more swag from Janine and the Brand Managers...

...we are nothing without the help of the many, many donors & donations...Mia & Julie...Frank & Marie...Mark D. & David G.

Three fine gentlemen who help make this league fun.

"Wheels" mingling with the crew.

One very good stick.  No one loves the game more.

...Mike, is Wergin looking?...I'm headed out the back door...

First-year Tim is one great guy!  My only regret is we didn't have him back in 1997.  A real asset!

Team "Hoppy Endings" help to make the league fun and you-know-who helped to keep my jokes cleaner ☺

...checking out the prize booty...

Serious discussion...me thinks there is strategy talks going on here for 2022...

I'm a better person for knowing this man.

Another member who makes my job easier and the guy's thirst quenched.

He's in a love / hate relationship with this sport BUT he ended the year with a score and points he adored!

Our mini-library except for the beer and the noise!

Everyone gets a warm-up bag of swag and a gift when they walk in.

Security guard Tim D. chasing looters away from the prize table...Back-up guard Tim H. looking on.  No, I can't afford either!

See above when Tim & Tim Security asked me for an extra gift for their protection.  I told them to take the wooden Native American statue home.

Here's one great guy and one even greater brother.

I am most happy he's relaxed and having some fun in our league!

Our, once a year, Genesee Golf league library.

So you're saying MDM had little or nothing to do with your dominance?

Hail, Hail, The gangs all here...

I brought some light reading material in case thing slow down here.

HA! I had to wait until the last week to have two top honors!

I should grab that trophy now and run to avoid the abuse I'm going to get.

We are never at a loss for words or embellished golf stories.

Play in 2022 with my partner? HA...I'm looking for a lefty who brings whiskey.

You baggin' dogs!  Finish in last so you can get a jump on the 2022 season!  SHAMLESS!

I will gladly pay you on Tuesday if you fill my glass back up today.

Damn, it doesn't get any better than this.  Blessed and lucky we are.

All the way to the top #2

Nothing like talking 2022 strategy...this is serious stuff!

Here's a couple guys trying to get some tips, some sage advice from "the boss".

This looks like Gregg's bag but he won't miss those Smartie candies.

Nice job on the steaks!  14 ounces of perfection!

Meat, veggies, potatoes & beer = all necessary food groups!

Let's not forget FREE vanilla ice cream!  I had to shame them into the "free" part. $50 off the bill √

Even the LVP gets an award...

...and a bowling trophy

Looking for the LVP...OH!...MM couldn't make it.

Look at that smile for winning a new award this year ..."putting up with the guys"

A great guy with a terrific attitude receiving the Most Improved Player Award...aka the biggest bagger

He had a great season...whipped cream on the cake...The Most Valuable Player Award

First Place envelopes filled with cash...Mark Minunni and John Fischer.  Mark, you did get five Jackson's?...right?

A yard of beer trophy. Watch out!  The team "Party of Fore" will be using these as gimmee measurements on the greens in 2022!

The league master trophy acknowledging all our champions since 1997

Your names can be here next year about this time.

The good name calling starts.  Who will get the major prize?

Everyone here has good beer, in part, to thank for another great season.

Elvis has his eye on the prize!

Phew!  Thankfully, I've been carrying this prize around for years.  It must have looked familiar.

How did that get missed by the first 10 names picked!!?  I guess someone hid it behind a row of chairs...Hmmmm

I've decided to donate my prize to our cute waitress.

Looky, my name again!  Was I suppose to turn the poker chip in the first time?

Hey, don't mess with me.  I'll send my bro Al Pacino over to say hello to my little friend.

Neil, always willing to help out.  Another reason why the league works well!

A back pack!?  Are you trying to tell me something?

UGH, more stuff for my next garage sale.

Ahhh, more decorations for my garage walls!

Don't like the prizes?  Stop by my house later on.  I'll give you a good deal on a gently used golf bag.

This kid is sleepwalking...that's his normal, resting face.

I know you're my son but it's against the rules to put your chip back in the bag.

Longtime member who helps to keep us "hydrated" with Genny.  Many thanks Sam & Neil.  The last two players still actively employed at Genesee.

One of the last to be called...saving one of the best.

Missing brother Robby...Birdy taking care of his bro's interest.

This is my deer in the headlights look.  I practice it all year.

Another De Niro wannabe...You Talking to me?

Yeah, I'm talking to you!  Forget next year.  You're one and done champ!

I attribute my performance to my mastery of yoga and the mystical arts of the Far East...I also have hand!

Applaud yourselves...good sports...even temperaments...willingness to help

A special guy with a great attitude ... a forever unconditional helper.

One of my many joys.  I have every homemade card saved in a special folder to remind me of the joys you give back.

...of course the extra cash helps to cover the expenses not on the financial report.

If you'll have me, I'll do it all over again in 2022.

Where's waldo...err...our cameraman Jeff.  Thanks again for another terrific photo documentary of our festivities!

It's all worth it to see that proud smile.  It's worth more than you know.  Peace to you all.
