Well Guys here we go........I'm sure I left out a few things.

Day 1
The trip started off on a bad note as Holly's was closed due to Hurricane Isabelle. Eddie shows up @ Holly's & no one was there. Cops decided to give him a ticket for loitering. Ed's Verizon phone was out of order. Breakfast was moved to H & H or was it H & G? Kenny was late @ Nutter's and Dave J was even later. Eddie, who wasn't even suppose to be there, shows up before some of the others. They all got lost on the Salisbury by-pass. Ice, first ever no-show. Didn't want to come down because there were no pictures on the menu. At Nutter's, Dennis, Roy and Jim light up the course. Roy had the shot of the day on the par 4 second hole. From the tee box, he hit a low shot that took 7 skips across the pond and landed in the fairway inside the 150 yard marker. John had the second shot of the day. He hit one in the woods, picked up his tee, and the ball came bouncing out onto the fairway. It must of been at least 6 seconds. Kenny once again took Joe's greenie. Dennis won most of the money. The SNAFU that went on while checking in at the Nassau. It looked like a scene from Abbott & Costello. A pinochle game broke out during a TOUGH MAN COMPETITION. Renig was the word for the day. Dave J and Ed Renigged twice.(once each) It was a pretty intense game especially when a butcher's knife was brought to the table. Ken not takin' a likin' being called "SOME PEOPLE" from someone sitting at the Pinochle game. Others decided to play a friendly game of liar's poker. Duck joined & was told to pass if he wanted to make money. He bid twelve 10's & there were only 6...Ouch! He thanks Eddie for getting him to play. Before we head to the Bay Cafe, Eddie drenches himself with some French Perfume. Kenny couldn't breathe. The group got stood up by the Stallion as the Bay Cafe was closed for the season. As in Ken's words "And wait till you see The Brother's C again....Look out Barry, they're gonna roll your drunkin'; Bingo arm swingin'; Huge head, no golfin', no prognofisication ASS, right out of the Raven Ticket Office". Jim vowed he'll fix his ass. Moved onto Smitty Magee's where the group sat around the bar with 6 on one side and 6 on the other and a stranger in the middle. Needless to say he was entertained for the night. He got blind sided by a Krazy 8 blitz-never saw it coming. He was so intimidated that he downed his 12" sub in 3 minutes. Also I'm sure it had nothing to do with limes being tossed at ICE nor the Raccoon Coat he displayed after lifting up his shirt. Let us not forget the 2 bartenders, Christine(The nurse) and Jen(The marketing guru). Phil proceeded to explain to Jen that he did several commercials for his bank. Phil started to explain the importance of a company having a jiggle or a slogan as part of their commercial. Then all of a sudden Phil started to sing "WE BUILT THIS BANK FOR YOU, FIRST MARINER BANK". Unbelievable! O'h where was Dave J? We tried to leave a $70.00 tip but the bartender said that was too much. First time ever that a bartender returned tip money back to the customer. Some went back to the Nassau while others went to Seacrets. Joe stood in the corner and watched as Mike, Duck, Scott and Phil started to strut their stuff, K-8 style. Joe decided to take Duck under his wing and give him some tips about Clubing. He tells him it's all about eye contact. Stay focused. The group closed Seacrets-some get in at 2:30 while others get in at 4:00.

Day 2
General's Kitchen 9:00 am-Cream Chip Beef Omlettes. No sign of any foreign substance in anyone's juice. Dave J spilling a cup of coffee he got for Steve. Bear Trap Dunes-Once again some get lost on their way to the course. Group Picture-Not bad at all. Just about everyone played well. Dennis wins more money and is happy as a lark. Some wonder if it means more to win money or to have fun? Ice played the 18th in his yellow and white flower boxers. He also mentioned to sonmeone about kissing a K-8. dunno. Mongo hitting a whiffle ball at guys on the 18th. Dave J gets in picture of some softball team members and their family that were staying at the Nassau. Some went to Ocean Downs for some OTB. Best damn hot dogs were at the track. Old George behind the counter said they were from Pennsylvania. Hit a triple-$400.00. As Brother Ken would say"SLAPPIN' THE 9 RACE AT CHUCKTOWN RIGHT IN THE MOUTH, TRIPLE WITH THE FAVORITE OUT AND $40.00 PHIL ROLLING UP THE 3 HORSE @ 41-1". The guys were dancing and Dennis grabbed the ticket and cashed it in leaving the girl behind the counter with just $15.00 left in her drawer. Went to Tubby's and downed 12" subs on the picnic table @ the Nassau. Security came and wanted to stop the gambling. Duck yelled back- "No gambling, just Coke and alcohol." A First-Mongo turned down a beer! Others went to Tequila Mockingbird. Everyone thought they knew what they ordered except Eddie. He said he had "A BIG PLATE OF SOMETHING". Some went to Fager's. Met up with some fillys. Outside on the deck, there was a bowling tournament on a ceramic table. Bottles were being rolled trying to knockdown other beer bottles at the end of the table. Fast Eddie and Sheila won a pool match, hustling some young whipper snappers. Eddie was telling everyone about the stars and explaining the galaxy to some of the fillies. Scott gets into it with a surfer dude. Scott mentioned the brown beer bottle and how it resembles ducks lined up in a row. This guy must of been from PITA because he really went off the deep end and told Scott he didn't appreciate the remarks he made about ducks. The guy proceeded to tell us that he surfed that day with some killer waves. The girls at the table took up for Scott and got rid of him. Eddie, bad knee and all, danced the night away. Once again the group closed the bar. More Tubby subs.

Day 3
General's Kitchen was too crowded, group goes to Coaches across the street from the Nassau. Some still get lost. Everyone had left for the course except for Joe, Jim, Roy and Ed. Ed said his knee hurt too much to play(was it from all the dancing he did the night before?) Roy explained to him, that he is needed for all the 2 man team games being bet on. He reluctently got in Joe's car. When he arrives at the course, Ed forgot his golf shoes. Jim lends him a pair of his. Eddie plays 4 holes and has a Ranger take him back to the clubhouse. He proceeds to eat a half pound hot dog and pronouced himself fit to play the back nine. He must of felt better, he won a greenie.  Bay Club-Voted the most inconsiderate, unfriendly staff. Starting the day the Leaderboard had Dennis 79, Jim 79, Steve 81, Joe 82, Duck 83, Ice 84, Ken 84, Mike 85, John 88, Dave J 90, Roy 90, Scott 91, Mongo 95, Ed 97, John Jr 97 and Ben 105. The starter told Ken that he could use a driver on hole #1, dog leg right. Ken smacks the ball right in the mouth. When he gets to his ball, Ken finds out he drove it through the fairway into the woods. Ken wanted to go back and bust that starter up. The Mike Fowkes story,"Eagle to Par". The Scott Hill story, "Aim for the Hazzards". Who was obnoxiously drunk on the course Saturday? Jim was on fire through 7 holes. Dennis is tanking and in a BIG WAY so he trys to get tanked in another way(Miller Lite). Dennis probably said to himself, if I'm not going to win the jacket then neither is Jim. Great sportsmanship. After several Brewskis, he proceeds to unravel Jim. At one point, he throws a dozen empty beer cans at Jim. Jim implodes the rest of the way. Who gets the last laugh? A par 3 comes up and Dennis puts up $45.00 that he can hit the green.. Anyway Jim tells him he is going to hit it in the water and he does.................twice! Now who got the last laugh. Jim had enough of Dennis and moves his clubs to the other cart. Joe took the cart keys from Dennis for fear of him getting a DUI on the course! Steve plays consistantly and wins the coveted mustard jacket. The ghost of the Stallion was there with notes left by him at each tee box and green. There was a nice presentation of the JACKET @ The Bay Club. The other golf group was impress with our ceremony. Steve was a deserving champion.

The group got back to the Nassau and Joe drove Ed to Tubby's. Mongo telepathically changed TV channels in his room. Dave J calls to get it fixed and a 150 yr old woman comes to their aid.  Some of the group head to Fager's. Best night of the 3. There was alot happening there: A dance-a-thon, a sweatty Panamanian and some nakedness! Some guy decided to give this gal $50.00 for her panties. She was wearing jeans and a short black top. All this was taking place in front of the K-8 contingent. At first Ken thought she might have pantyhose underneath the jeans until she displayed a pair of black panties. ICE said it was the first time him and Ken saw a woman take off her panties without paying a cent for it. After giving the guy her panties she proceeded to put her jeans back on as if it was no big deal. Everybody in our group gave her high 5's. It was dance fever that night and the K-8's didn't embarass themselves. They were too drunk to know. Some guys had ICE(the cubes) put down the front of their pants while dancing. Joe, once again, stood in the background making notes for this Ode. Ice decided to show the women his Zambeezie, rain forest foilage which really turns them on. The night ended with midnight subs from Tubby's and a walk back in the rain to the Nassau.

SOME THINGS TO PONDER:
Security needed at Pinochle games.
Mongo wanted Ed's EDDIE.
Dave and Mongo's room stunk like fish.
Who said more words in O C, Mike or Ben?
What was the over/under for the # of words said?
Why was there mention of a gay golf club while at Smitty's?
Was there Voodoo in Mongo & Dave's TV?
Don't know how they got there, but Joe has Eddie's golf clubs.
Who will bring home the Mustard next year?
Tubby's increased sales that weekend by 50%.
Joe was well behaved.
Guys, the only thing I can say, If you didn't have a good time, you must have been in a different golf group.
