value in future matches, or could it be that Williamson isthe lucky partner of choice?) Joining Williamson insavoring the sweet taste of the bountiful barley were
Doug Gooding, Tim Martin
,
and
 
Ron Majors
. The
purveyors
of the beverage of choice were Team 1members
Scotty Greene, Russ Jobson, Bill Benning,and P.J. Wade
who finished at only
4 under.
FOUR WAY TIE FOR LOW GROSS!BENNING RETURNS TO FORM TOCLAIM HIGH GROSS!
The back nine proved formidable on this particularTuesday, especially for the single digiters, as the best
lowgross
score of the day was
6 over,
which was matchedby
Danny Morris, P.J. Wade
,
Ollie Kennon
, and
AndyTyber
.
 
At the other end of the spectrum,
Bill Benning
returned to last season’s form by soaring to a
54,
denying
Craig Sellner
of a fourth straight victory and setting thestage for a potential fierce rivalry in contending for thetop prize in future matches.
KISGEN WINS LOW NET!
Sixteen handicapper
Tom Kisgen
parred the final twoholes to edge out playing partner
Marty Arnold
by onestroke to win the
Low Net
with a
net score of 2 under
.
PEARSON EARNS SHOT OF THEDAY!
Lee Pearson
did manage to put a little salve into hiswound by sinking a
30 foot putt
for
birdie
on the lasthole to earn
Shot Of The Day
honors. Oddly, no other shots werereportedthat were believed to be worthy of mention.
3 BIRDIES ADD TO THE TOTAL!
The
Birdie Club
added
three
 
tweeters
to its total—compliments of 
Russ Jobson, Lee Pearson, andRichard
 
Gilmore.
EATON AND BERNHARDTCENSURED!DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEEFORMED!
This week’s miscreants were
Rick Eaton
and
JimBernhardt
who
failed to show
. (although
Eaton
did atleast reach the
Commissioner
by phone as the
Commissioner
was pulling into the lower parking lot, andlater showed up on the porch to beg forgiveness and incurthe wrath of those present). Seeing that back to back

weeks of no shows was of great concern to those ATAGerspresent, the
Commissioner
immediately formed an
ATAG Disciplinary Committee
to set ATAG policy for noshows and come up with appropriate sanctions for thosewho violate the rules. After deliberating for some length(2-3 cold ones), the
Committee
instituted the followingpolicy which will be incorporated into ATAG By Laws: (a)players must notify the
Commissione
r by e-mail of anycancellation of a reserved spot as soon as possible but in
no event later than 2 pm
 
on the day of the
 
match.
(b)failure to show without proper advance notification willresult in the following sanctions: For the
first
 
offense
,the player will be
publicly censured
in the
Nickelodeon,
will receive a
double fine
, and will have a
Letter Of Reprimand
placed in his file. For a
secondoffense
, the player will suffer
death by “boogadaboogada”.
Accordingly, both
Bernhardt and Eaton
were sanctioned in compliance with the new policy,although
Eaton’s
sentence was later
suspended
by the
Commissioner
for good behavior and remorse, althoughhe was placed on
probation.
OTHER TIDBITS:▪ 
It was another pleasant evening on the porch andseemingly a more amiable group of participants as someplayers again stayed past 9 pm sharing stories andenjoying the camaraderie.
Kisgen
and
Sellner
told acouple of jokes that were met with polite applause but itwas mostly just sitting around the tables and talking,eating, and drinking.
▪
Henry Sawyer
made a cameo appearance on theporch to let everyone know he was heading to
Paris,France
, and would miss the next two matches.
TomThornhill
likewise dropped by during a break from theAnsley Golf Club’s grounds committee meeting where heis representing the ATAG interests and is due to make afull report to the
Commissioner.
▪
“Metro Marty” Arnold
was at it again, sipping hischardonnay and eating a light salad while wearingdesigner shades, and lacking only a scarf to complete theTruman Capote look.
▪
Danny Morris
let it slip that he had recently seen—on pay per view—the gay cowboy flick “
Brokeback Mountain
”. Morris assured everyone that he had not“
crossed over
”, but did give it raving reviews. Thisraised the eyebrows of some players and caused others toremark how the film had put a new spin on some of the
Old West
sayings such as,
“Ride’em Cowboy”
and
“Howdy, Partner”.
■ Since new jokes are coming few and far between,the Commissioner asked that each week one player takeit upon himself to tell a joke (hopefully new material).
