That’s terrific news re: Dave Rodriguez. Now we can officially unleash our
most imaginative callsign braincells.
One challenge for me of course, is that I haven’t played very many rounds of
golf with David and therefore have not witnessed many indiscretions or golf
mannerisms that would naturally lead to an obvious tag line. I offer (Bent)
“Shaft” as one example of the perfect callsign. You all know what I’m talking
about (err….. I guess “Knockdown” could also be considered in that same
category….).
So, given the fact that I am shooting a bit in the dark here, then these are a
few ideas for the group’s consideration:
· “Swale” -- Defined as a “depression in the terrain”. Also could be
used to indicate a relatively decent golf shot, such as: “That was a ‘swale’
shot there Dave”…. or …. “Who hit that ‘swale’ shot? That was ‘Swales’ swale
shot….” (OK, my Southern roots are starting to show here. But I did just
finish building a house in North Carolina….)
· “Plug” -- A ball that makes its own “depression in the terrain”
usually by hitting the ground and then attempting to hide itself by pulling
nearby earth over its little ball head…. (probably out of embarrassment). May
also be a derivative of the combination of “plucky” and “pugnacious”.
· “Bunker” -- Ability to find the sand with greater dexterity than the
cup. Not that ANYONE in SOGAGG has ever done that…..
· “Non-selective Perimeter Weighting” – Ok, I just threw this one in
here to see if anyone was actually reading this…..
Those are some thoughts. I defer to others who have better knowledge of young
David’s golf habits. But I do believe that our policy of re-designating
callsigns based upon the most recent (bad) behavior or indiscretion should
continue to be sustained.
All for know.
Your loyal servant in bad golf.

SOGAGG Colleagues,
The final vote for inviting David Rodriquez into the ranks of SOGAGG was all in
favor with the exception of one abstention (never having met David).
Therefore, therefore we can now inform him of his anointment into the ranks of
the truly elite.
As is tradition, we are now in need of putting our collective heads (and
imaginations) together to determine his call sign/nickname. Please provide
your thoughts ASAP and thanks.
Best to all,

SOGAGG Colleagues,
Apologies for the delay in moving this forward – Mother Epsilon’s 2017
strategic planning season intervened but my chin is now above the waterline and
we’re moving onward.
Let’s shelve the subject of shirts for the moment. I’ve got to sift through
the various color combination inputs – I’ll do that.
Pursuant to the new member discussion, we have had several candidates mentioned
with David Rodriquez being discussed by a number of our cadre. I thought we
might start there.
Please send an email to me only with your vote on David and I will tally the
total. I will electronically file each of your emails and provide it to anyone
who requests them after the vote is fully taken.
Thanks to all,
/Ace

SOGAGG Colleagues (Knockdown, please pass to Bounce Back),
We have chatted for some time now about adding to our wardrobe (we’re into our
fourth year of existence). The predominate thought was shirts (ah, but those
pants would be something). I will order them once we have consensus on a
couple of things that need your inputs:
1. Should we get another set of shirts?
2. What color should the shirt be?
3. What color should the lettering be?
a. There has been discussion of orange shirts and black lettering
i. Other
thoughts, if any?
ii. Divot
mentioned at last Friday’s outing he was somewhat prone to pink shirts with
lime-green lettering. Really, Divot? Really?
4. Should there be any design changes?
a. If so, please advise your thoughts.
5. Before we actually do this, are there any other candidates for SOGAGG
membership we should evaluate in order to ensure we don’t end up doing this
piece-meal?
6. Someday down the road, we will probably need a flag and/or banner and
yes, pants.
7. Once we have reached agreement on the items above, I will get the
shirts aboard and then we can discuss the individual payments…
Best to all,
/Ace
