Daniels Appears in Full Body Maintenance Mode, Still Manages to Ask for Money
Sporting more braces than a middle school orthodontist’s office, he came ready to audit your soul
In a surprise appearance that nearly overshadowed the actual golf, El Presidente descended upon the league this week, gracing us with his trademark mix of charm and collection notices. After the obligatory hugs, a few “how ya doin’s,” and handshakes with new and returning members, it took all of 45 seconds for him to revert to form—lamenting the eternal struggle of unpaid dues and issuing thinly veiled threats about what fate awaits the financially delinquent.
Once the majority of debts were settled and El Presidente had ceremonially re-established dominance, he was spotted commandeering Treasurer Paul Banville’s golf cart for the remainder of the round. Presumably offering unsolicited club choices and misreading putts, he reminded us all that some rules apply to most… but not all.
This week’s group text chain brought another highlight: yet another public shaming of the usual suspect(s). In a move that can only be described as petty professionalism, El Presidente screen-shared his latest message to the group, once again dragging Mr. James W. Troup into the spotlight.
Unfortunately for our target audience, Mr. Troup had long since deleted the text thread—reportedly stating, “I hate all of you and don’t want to hear from you ever again, even if it’s useful stuff like tee times or being publicly labeled a scofflaw by Steve.”
Stay tuned next week for more financial finger-pointing, misplaced wedges, and violations of both etiquette and personal space.
“I Quit!” – A Mike Mackan Meltdown for the Ages
A Rare Weather-Induced Mackanomaly
In an event rarer than a tap-in birdie from Brophy, Vice President Mike Mackan stunned league onlookers by storming off the course after what could generously be described as a five-minute “rain delay.”
Apparently channeling the rage of a caffeinated raccoon, Mackan took offense to the course stupidintendent’s decision to pull players after the storm had already passed. Lightning? Gone. Rain? Done. Mackan’s patience? Vaporized.
Witnesses say he gathered his balls (figuratively and literally), marched to the lot, and peeled out of there like he was late for an anger management class. He was last seen with his arm out the window, allegedly throwing up a single-finger salute and yelling, “Eff this stupid course—and eff Brophy too!”
Some say he’ll be back. Others say he’s retired to a life of competitive cribbage and muttering under his breath. But credit where it’s due: Mackan organized this week’s event at George Wright Golf Course in honor of his late, great brother-in-law Jamie Galvin—an annual tradition he carries out with heart, even if he occasionally leaves the course in a cloud of fury and exhaust fumes.
Match Play Mayhem: Wins, WDs, and Wild Card Wonders
Goody Gets It Done
Tim “Goody” Goodwin handed out 34 strokes like Halloween candy and still managed to take down Skip Delaney, punching his ticket to the semi-finals. He’ll now sit in Match Play limbo, waiting for his next opponent to emerge... possibly sometime in Q4. Pack snacks, Tim.
Moran Marches On
Russ “Quiet Assassin” Moran knocked out former podcast darling Stephen P. Brophy with a tidy 3 & 2 victory. Sources say Brophy brought a pool cue instead of a putter and recorded an estimated 67 putts. That's not a typo. That’s a cry for help.
Double WDs Rock the Bracket
Two brave souls (Jim "Can’t Commit" Orsini and the ever-elusive Steve Daniels) have gracefully exited the tournament via WD, leaving a power vacuum and opening the door for chaos.
Tag Team Inbound:
-
Enter Ozzy Orsillo, stepping in for Orsini to face the ever-dangerous Ricky Keefe. This one's got undercard energy and top-tier drama potential.
-
Meanwhile, Mo “Money” Kauff has been tapped to replace Daniels (currently out with what appears to be both a medical and personality injury). He’ll square off against Phil “The Thrill” Kimball at the next available bloodbath.
Stay tuned as the bracket continues to implode and reform like a badly managed fantasy league.
Here's a link to Steve's stupid letter if any cares.
