2023 GENESEE BREWERY GOLF LEAGUE BANQUET AND AWARDS

The very best and most fitting venue I could ask for. Thanks to Brew House manager Laura V.!!!

Our history, our joy, our goal

Hope all goes well and everyone has a great time...

Calm before the storms

▼ ▲ To the victors belong the spoils! ▲ ▼

Too, too many good guys were sorely missed today...Reed, Donny, Nicky, Mike Mueller, Gregg, Neil & Sam, Fish, Randy. I'll have a prize for you next time we cross paths. Thanks for all you do especially Sam and Neil for things that will remain unmentionable ☺

Is it over? Can I open up my eyes yet?

Laurie...one of the many reasons this league is a joy.

Tim says, "Yeah, I remember. 21 years ago Randy and I were the top dogs.  Hey Randy, I got an idea!"

My pal Danny! Just keep him away from skateboards and unicycles ♥

Thank you Tim...no need to charge the guys for this event...we're good.

Dom says, "Why can't bowling be this much fun?"

(above and below) Yes, time to move...there's a funny smell over here along the wall.

Always a joy having Mark in the mix. A behind the scenes positive influencer.

Damn, near or far...I need new glasses!

I might just keep walking by when I see this motley crew.

Wheels! What would I do without you!? Thanks for you and all your wiener roast help!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

▼▼▼

Bob says, "Finally, some closest to the pin cash!"

Mike and Danny discussing the joys of getting old, substituting chasing girls with golf balls.

I'm with Tom..."Which way to Woodstock?"

Mike's first year in the mix. I hope he found a home with us hackers.                                                    Birdy is hoping they use his pose to replace the poster on the back wall.

What's this!? Carrots and cold water!? I demand an audit!

No, no, they're not for me.  I'm lookin' for my partner.

2023 Genesee Golf League champions planning bagging strategy for next year. Gary listening in, trying to get pointers.

Ahh, the financial report! I have to check this guy out.

Always a smile, hearty laughter and a kind word from this gentleman, Tim H.

Danny helps to keep the league "hydrated" too.

DUDE, I gave at the office. Stop the strong-arming already. The season is over. 

No guys! The stuff on the racks is not our prizes to pick from!

My boy Brian, always a smile and a quick wit...not a bad stick either.

Front and center Tim H...another reason this league is a joy to play in.

He (Paul Peterson) bested me again this year in the skins take...yeah, that serious guy in blue.

A lot of data to digest...

Lots of laughs. Lots of "fish stories" about the ones that got away.

Far left & center..."HOPTICAL ILLUSION" Mike & Paul with a strong 2nd place finish.

This is it guys.  That's all I had left in the kitty. ☺

One half of "PARTY OF FORE" Mark...Missing Fish but he's working on his swing!

I don't know who said it but someone wants to change partners in '24…Gregg!

See that elusive chap in the med. blue in the back? If it wasn't for him this league would be dry. A quiet & humble pounder benefactor who keeps us happy and hydrated and solvent.  Mike L. makes it work very well every year! Thank you kindly!

Amazing how the "Overheard" log got so much attention!

It took me two putts but I finally found the "hole"...The "pie hole!" NOT your Genesee poster boy!

Yeah! Here comes the real food!

Good Grief!, Good Stories, Good Gosh...LET'S EAT!

Two intellectuals needing a quiet place to plan next year's strategy. 

The first place team, Dave & Tim, asking advice on how to repeat. (Ha,Ha,Ha)

You all make it worth the effort. Thanks for a great 26th year.

...like two deer in the paparazzis' headlights...

Thank you. You all make it worthwhile!

Always one of my many highlights. A fancy and imaginative card from artist TimBob

Stashing that cash securely for momma ☺

A great card. A greater memory! Thanks for the $$$ everyone!

MoMoney! Drinks on the house everyone!

Danny paired up with Donny, winners of the HI/LO doubles tournament.

Better than OTC stocks! Skins Investment Plan

I have a hard time seeing and reading when I'm laughing so hard.

$Cha-Ching$ Skins Investment Plan cash back! John, flush with cash, and making new "friends".

Tom made it every single week...rain, shine, mud and mire!

Tim says "YEAH" I finally won something by being there every week!

Team "BROS. GRIMM" Dave & Birdy, above and below = perfect attendance

I'm grateful to have this young lady in the mix helping me keep these guys grounded.

...plus a little cash back from the Skins Investment Plan...maybe to buy some balls from my trunk?...see below

Yep, that’s a ball between his legs too!

He did it again! Most lost balls and he missed 4 weeks!

A rare hole-in-one in our group. Tom Schramm on #5. Very well done!

Most valuable player...Most improved player...Tim raked it in

Tim needed a Brinks truck but he was surrounded by "body guards"

...a little cash for the 1st place team "HARD CANDY"

We are the champions, we are the champions...no time for losers...David Wergin & Tim Cavagnaro Nice trophies guys!

J A N I N E !!! ♥

The BOOTY!

Mike thinking...decisions, decisions...

I'm thinking...what the hell am I going to do with that?

Got the best prize but this is quite a balancing act!

Success! I didn't spill a drop!

Yep, I'll be looking for another fashionable jacket.

Oh Yeah! This brings be back to my surfing days in Malibu

SMH, where does he get this stuff!

Danny scored a very nice water...err beer cooler.

I'm done trying to control this mob! It's reckless abandon up here! 

This league is amazing. Who gives 25 XL tees for a prize? Look for me on eBay.

Hmmm, This would make a perfect sled in the winter snow and it's cushioned!

Bob & Wheels ask, "We're looking for XL tees...have you seen any?"

▼▲The struggle is real. I can't get any more prizes in this bag. Can I get some help please!▲▼

This IS too much like work. All I want is a lousy tee shirt!

                                                                   Scalpel please!

                         I'll be wearing this next time I cater your wiener roast!                                                                               Hey B!...looking to pull your partner's prize from the bag again!?

 

Yes, we are an aging, not so gracefully, league. Someone has fallen and they can get up alarm?

Too, too many good guys were sorely missed today...Reed Hadley, Don Heseltine, Nick Kawecki, Mike Mueller, Gregg Wergin, Neil Petz & Sam Privitera, John Fischer (REST IN Peace my dear friend 5/3/1948 - 10/21/2023), Randy Sweeney, Mike Gaesser & Paul Schmerbeck.

Paige…Our pretty, photogenic hostess made our stay here perfect and pleasant!

Our cameraman Jeff! Thank you very much for the excellent job capturing this unholy event. Yes, you're #1 but watch where you put that finger!
