| Let the 2024 Genesee Brewery Golf League banquet and awards presentation begin! |
 |
| Serious smiling Josh after seeing his name on the top line. |
 |
| "It's hard to believe. You never forget your "first time"! |
 |
| Sooo happy to have this gentleman Mike Gaesser, in the league! |
 |
| Neil, one of the guys who makes my job easier with much less begging for liquid courage 🍺. |
 |
| Yeah, this guy, Matt Bell, who bent over backwards to make sure we were all happy, well fed and never thirsty! |
 |
| Hey! Where's Waldo...err...I mean Jeff, our photo journalist! |
 |
| The best awards and trophies for the good, the bad and the u g l y! |
 |
| ...first place trophies...above and below...vintage '70's treasures from England |
 |
| A heartfelt thanks to our photographer, brother Jeff...another excellent job! |
 |
| Welcome back to the fold Terry...you, and your positivity, have been missed! |
 |
| Amazing job Carl, the go-to-guy if you want anything done and done right at the Genesee Brew House. A hearty THANK YOU from all 35 in attendance! |
 |
| A mandatory hug from our lone lady in the league who keeps us grounded, respectful and tempering our vocabulary! |
 |
| Congratulations Robby, we made it through another year of fun, games and laughter. |
 |
| He was banned from the league due to the wardrobe malfunction but after playing on the waterlogged Durand-Eastman course he is now our inspirational mascot. |
 |
| Two of our guys finding a quiet, less crowded place to exchange pleasantries. |
 |
| One of the founding fathers Randy (left) with "Wheels" center and Mike (right). |
 |
| The hard working guys keeping the beer fresh and the brewery humming...Mike, John, Josh & Neil. |
 |
| Mike, one-half of "Hoptical Illusion", Rob, one-half of "Bros. Grimm" and Gregg, one-half of "Fyfe & Drum" smiling happy and well hydrated. |
 |
| ...Laurie, always a smile and a kind word... |
 |
| Team "The Red-Eyes" Gary & Tim ... respectable 2nd place finish this year. |
 |
| Mike, Laurie and Tim checking out the extensive stats compiled throughout the year. |
 |
| Tim, thanks for all you do to keep this league's wiener roast donations going strong, saving me from strong-arming the guys for help. |
 |
| The league is stacked with Wergins...Dave, Gary and Gregg with Brian soon to arrive. |
 |
| Birdy chatting with the guys. Using his hands is a must! with Mike, studious Rob, and Paul toasting the evening with his Genny. |
 |
| Tom, our most senior player with a heart of gold. Team "D & T Smash" Dom and Tom below discussing next year's strategy. |
 |
| That's the look of one hungry Genesee golf leaguer. |
 |
| You'd have a very hard time out-driving Dan, one-half of team "Grip-It & Sip-It". Missed you Nick! |
 |
| Yeah, Dan needs a drink as the other half of team "The 2 Puttz" with LVP & LIP awarded partner Don. Paul, eyes left ... Dave eyes right... |
 |
| Embellished stories here about the ones that got away. |
 |
| A birds-eye of the group and the amazing venue...above and below. |
 |
| Posing for the centerfold of Gentlemans Quarterly..GQ. Tim, our defending 2013 champion team "Hard Candy" with Dave W. |
 |
| Two-fisted Wheels doesn't need a Genny Red-Eye or two to have a big smile...it's always there. |
 |
| My partner from 1997 - 2023, Brewmaster Mike who missed this year for a body "tune-up and repair". |
 |
| Blessed and lucky to have this gentleman Jim in the league this year. With Wheels, 1/2 of team "Irish Rovers". |
 |
| Birdy demanding a recount as long as it doesn't raise his finishing quota 😆. |
 |
| Don certainly deserves the "Good Sport Award" this year for capturing the two "Least Awards" ...accepting his booty with a smile. |
 |
| Good round, bad round, the smiles are the same. Just getting out with the guys makes it all good. |
 |
| Mark's been around since we started this "labor of love of a league" and one of the reasons his positive attitude and infectious smile are contagious. |
 |
| Yeah, Birdy is talented...all three emptied in one tip without a single drip! Hey Guinness Book! |
 |
| Yeah, no worries, he's a bit tipsy tipping...Uber coming! |
 |
| This is the look of (son Brian) a midnight shift worker, just shaken out of bed early and offered a ice cold Genny. I WANT MY HOT, STRONG COFFEE PLEASE! |
 |
| Good stick and good guy (Saint) Reed who's been around Durand in this league for a lot of years. That halo you see over his head is because his partner is Tim D.! |
 |
| That's my boy Brian, my joy! All smiles after some needed food and drink. |
 |
| Team "Fyfe & Drum" discussing top secret plans for 2025...Heading: "RELAX & JUST HAVE FUN". |
 |
| A special threesome here...a few of our senior members who are happy to be using the gold tees...Tim, Wheels, Jim McG. |
 |
| Another threesome who are still working hard at Genesee, making sure we only get the very best...Tim, Dave & Terry. |
 |
| Great friends, good food, good meat, good God, let's eat! |
 |
| Almost Mark, you almost blocked out Steve's mug! 😂 |
 |
| There's Tim saying, 'Hey! I won something!!" |
 |
| There's Mike, smiling because he knows 2025 is his year with Mark and team "Trouble Shooters". |
 |
| Our LVP and LIP double "award" this year, Don H. An amazing, even tempered gentleman on team "The 2 Puttz" with Danny L. |
 |
| Note his partner (Dan, on the left) in the background cat-calling during his "award" presentations. |
 |
| He deserves the extra attention and props for all the abuse he took. |
Josh C. our MVP & MIP this year deciding which hand was most important. The left hand won!
 |
| Many awards, as usual, to pass out this year. |
 |
| There's Wheels holding some good hard cash in his envelope...not a single skin collected this year so he gets a bit of his "investment" back. "Skins Investment Plan"... Danny L. also received the same "prize". |
 |
| My secret partner Fred C. on our last week in our HI/LOW doubles tournament. The champs at +39%...$cha-ching$ partner! |
 |
| The season would not be complete without props (gift card) to our lone lady, Laurie, who keeps us respectful and our language tempered. 1/2 of team Hoppy Endings" with Mike E. (below) |
 |
| There's Gary, holding his Best-Of-The-Bunch award for the 180/37 league record on week 18. His last B.O.T.B.Award was in the 1990's. |
 |
| There's my man Tim D. smiling and holding his 'You-Have-To-Have-Pretty-Big-Balls-To-Play-The-Way-I-Do" trophy award. |
 |
| Dave W. being a good sport (smile and a handshake) receiving his skin diver trophy award for "Most-Lost-Balls-In-A-Season". 1/2 of team "Hard Candy" with Tim C. |
 |
| Team "Hot Dogs & Chips" John Spoth & Josh Compitello 2024 Genesee Brewery League Champions |
 |
| Rare trophies made in England in the early 70's. |
 |
| I think my brother and my son, team "Fyfe & Drum" Gregg and Brian, are "discussing" who contributed most...MVP and MIP stat comparisons. |
 |
| I am very thankful for being able to provide you all with a fun, exciting and accurate Year 26. Thank you for the vote of confidence and the cash. It means a lot to me..not so much the cash, but the handshakes, pats on the backs, thank yous and smiles. |
 |
| Let me rest a few months, get ready for year 27 in 2025 and pray for dry Tuesdays and happy campers. |
 |
| Valuable asset Mike L. who is responsible for keeping us well hydrated every week, making my job so much easier and the natives smiling broadly. Thank you kindly! |
 |
| The beautiful Lachut Family (sorry about my "adopted" brothers' actions ruining a precious family portrait) 😁😅😆 |
 |

 |
| How about that smile from Tim C.! A chair he didn't have to build! It only took me 45 minutes to put the damn thing together! |
 |
| Looks like Josh is replacing his uncomfortable office chair. His smile shows joy, and his back will be much happier! |
 |
| Wheels says' "Yeah, this is nice but I'm worried about leaving my Genny on the table next to those animals!" |
 |
| HEY! Bob H. thinks this would make a good size camping cooler!" |
 |
| Dom says he's having everyone over for a cook out next week at his place! |
 |
| Mike G. says he's always happy to fine a place to rest his weary bones. |
