Fellow Society Members,
Five years ago today, April 15, 2013, the Society of Golfers Against Good
Golf was formed with eight members - today we stand at nineteen, all
carefully chosen and all now and forever marked for life as beyond
redemption.
The charter of the Society was simple: Promote fellowship through a relaxed
round of golf that would often include before-and-after activities, and
always riven with irrelevant, humorous and perhaps on occasion, childish
behavior. The golf itself was to be nothing more than the medium used to
attain these goals and seriousness was to be frowned upon. To ensure the
actual round of golf was never the protagonist in this play, gimmies were to
be allowed, talking during putting was considered a norm and psychological
games, played to get into the heads of others, was expected. The only rule
for the group is "you win the round, you buy the round" and that certainly
has made for some interesting 18th hole play.
The recipe appears to be well constructed since wherever we go, our
"uniforms" draw comments of approval and invite queries as to how one can
become a member. Even more so, we have, over the years, taken on an
altruistic bent that includes supporting charitable events and even, as we
are now, conducting a charitable golf tournament at the behest of NDIA. Our
sterling reputation precedes us.
Happy Anniversary SOGAGGers, let's just keep being us.
