Fellow SOGAGGers,
It is with great pleasure (also with a bit of anxiety, comicality and
wonder....) that I now officially nominate Richard "Tug" McGraw to the ranks
of SOGAGGdom.
"Tug" (not the proposed SOGAGG callsign), has played with us a number of
times, and during these periods he has managed to:
* Drive his golf cart so deep into the woods that it had to be
retrieved by 5 other golfers (it should have been 8, but Divot was too busy
taking pictures, and the other two guys were laughing so hard that they were
completely useless -- unlike just-a-little-bit useless as members of this
group tend to be in their normal state -- but I digress...)
* Attempted to give himself the "poor man's mudbath" while retrieving
an errant tee shot that went directly into the center of a crusted marsh (I
am happy to offer details on exactly what a "crusted marsh" is during the
Q&A...). During this escapade he sunk completely up to his knees in the
(hideously) smelly "crusted marsh mud" (you won't find this on Wikipedia -
yet..). Always a trooper, he didn't call for help (obviously surmising that
none would be forthcoming), and again the laughter rendered otherwise
good-hearted Samaritans to a completely immobile state. It must be noted
that the pictures that have been circulating from this event were taken
AFTER his clean-up attempts with several golf towels (which I think he put
into OB's trunk, but again I digress...)
* Other tee shots from Tug have found their way into (no specific
order), roofs, parking lots, yards, Jacuzzi's, crusted marshes, squirrel
dens, large raptor nests, nearby roads, far-away roads, golf carts in other
fairways, golf carts in other counties, daycare centers, press conferences,
buffet lines, etc... Still on the list (but not yet achieved), include:
voting booths, libraries, Super Bowl stadium, and the White House
Correspondents Dinner.
These are just a few examples of his accuracy with a driver and as a
driver.. But who said that golf prowess was a prerequisite for membership?
(Certainly no one who has witnessed our play).
To wrap this up, if he is accepted, I would propose a callsign of "Hazard".
To quote a famous American philosopher (who happens to be the founder of
SOGAGG), "Tug is a Hazard to himself, to other golfers, to innocent
bystanders, and even to the surrounding natural environment.."
That's all I have for now. I stand ready to answer any questions that you
may have, except for the following (Sean Spicer has my back here):
* No questions on logarithms or the Periodic Table of the Elements.
* No questions on my tax returns (yes, I am writing off my losing golf
bets -- and will require your SSN along with Visa Card information when
payment is made)
* No questions regarding Global Warming as I think that President has
already made it clear what the facts are here :-)
OK. That's really all I have for now. Appreciate your careful
consideration of this matter.
Warmest wishes,
KD
