TNAC "B" Team Pulls Big Upset at Silver Lake Sr Scramble
5/4/11
Burt Coghill Rolls Out the Carts for 2011 Spring Sr Scramble at Silver Lakes CC
You could see overconfidence and arrogance in the theatrics and bravado exuded by TNAC "A" Team " (Smith, Mallack, Sullivan, Tracy) as both teams gathered at the North Course 8th hole to off in the 2011 Spring Scramble at Silver Lake CC.They had it all, Smith's long ball, Tracy's shot making wizardry, Sullivan's deadly chipper, and Mallacks's famous "pick it up" rule negating any stress over those short and mid-length putts.Who in their wildest dreams would dare bet against this armada of golfing weapons?
In cadence, as Smith shouts orders, Sullivan & Mallak are put through calisthenics designed to intimidate Team "B" as both teams prepare to tee off.
Wella, wella, wella....lookie here. Someone forgot to tell Team "B" (Johnson, Stanwich, Turk, Wilson) that they were underdogs. Riding Dave's steroidal-like long drives, Jay's and Larry's deadly approach shots, and Bill's clutch birdie putts they finished at 3 under par besting haughty team "A' by one shot.
Class, sportsmanship & good cheer are all unique qualities of Team "B"
For his clutch birdie putts, Bill Turk wins the " Team B Captain's Award " as MVP for the 2011 Spring Scramble at Silver Lakes

TNAC Winter Gathering Lassen's Tap, Dec 21,2010
We had a wonderful time but sad to learn Greg was hospitalized
last night and could not join us to accept his award or sign the card for Rich's award which Jay will mail today. Latest update from Mike is that Greg is being kept overnight (21st) and should go home tomorrow. If you read this Greg, you wouldn't believe what you missed. It all started when Gary came into the bar and started telling his famous "killer B's story"...we laughed until the cows came home from Santa Claus, Indiana.Then, for no reason, Smitty threw an elbow into Gary and was escorted out. No explanation...just an old grudge from basketball I guess. When things calmed down Jay started singing Christmas carols while Bill and Larry ordered sugar plums at the bar. Meanwhile Mike presented me with a trophy. That's about it for 2010. Everyone have a quiet New Year's Eve. Happily both Greg and Rich are now home doing well and on the mend for golf 2011.

The Curse of Bill Turk
8-30-10
An eerie silence fell over Prairie Bluff
Golf Course today when blood curdling screams were heard coming from a pond adjoining the 14th fairway. Turns out " The Curse of Bill Turk " entered the body of Paul Brown causing him to badly twist his left ankle while retrieving his wayward drive on the 14th hole.As we all recall, it was one year ago that Bill screamed out a wicked curse on Prairie Bluff after snapping his ankle on the 4th hole 150 marker. At that time startled golfers
heard Bill shout, "here-to- fore BEWARE of holes with the number 4." And so it came to pass, after chasing his errant drive on #14 Paul's round came to a painful end under "The Curse of Bill Turk"
.
Low scores of the day were Bob 81, Mike 85, Tom 86, Greg 88
Birdies: Larry # 3
Teams: Mike,Tom & Greg
Bob, Jay & Paul
Larry, Bill, Dave & Russ
Seemingly calm & normal, Bill tees off at hole #1
Out of hearing of fellow golfers, Bill pauses at 150 marker on #4 to whisper his curse. "Oh great one, hear me as I invoke my curse. Today great pain will befall one of our brethren."
Beware ye of disbelief, "The Curse of Bill Turk"
will forever haunt the number 4 at Prairie Bluff.
Hello Prairie Bluff!!!!

South Carolina Man Still Held Hostage - Day 13!!
Noted Tnacian, Bob Wilkus, is reportedly still held hostage in Illinois for the thirteenth day. Three local terrorists, Jay, Diane, and Gerri (all three shown above, gloating over his capture), have reportedly been denying Bob of any sunlight since he was abducted on Wednesday, December 16. He has been allegedly fed (see obvious photoshopped restaurant propaganda photo above), but no official confirmation of fair treatment has been given. Rumors have him alledgedly planning on escaping on December 29, taking terrorist Gerri with him as a hostage. This should be a very bold and daring (his style) of escape, since he may risk blindness by large, yellow, heat-radiating, objects often seen in the southern sky. Let's all wish him luck.Don Confuses Arizona With North Pole. Polar icecap in AZ front yard bewilders neighbors.

Wilkus and Wilson discuss Tiger Woods Incident.
Wilkus' sources said Tiger's wife used a Tree Wood...
Dave: Knowing Tiger he'll make the incident 'fade' away even though she's still 'teed' off.
Dave: I doubt it will blow over. It's a damn shame he could act this foolishly.
Dave: After he hit the hydrant and tree she ran out acting real 'brassie' while waving a golf club yelling,
" Tiger, I told you that you needed a good driver! ".
Bob: He could have avoided the hydrant hazard if he had used a tree-wood.
Dave:Maybe he DID use a tree-wood but hit the lip(s) coming off the hazard.
Bob: Erin had to use a 4-iron to clear Tiger's lip coming out of the marriage hazard. I think she is going to get a NIKE endorsement for women's clubs.

Pryzbyslawskis invade South Carolina! Local authorities on alert!
The turkey photo was added by Dave Wilson. This is not to be confused with Rich Przyby, but is a photo of a different turkey.
For several days over the Thanksgiving holiday there have been Pryzby sightings throughout the South Carolina and Georgia coastal areas. Widespread panic has not been widely reported, but authorities have issued a code orange alert. Food has mysteriously been disappearing off of tabletops throughout the areas, and a local golf course has reported substantial damage. Positive identification of Rich Pryzby can be made by checking to see if he has a top to his head. A recent sighting has been pictured above, with correspondent Wilkus, Gerri Ennis, along with Linda and Bill Bailey (Yes, he has come home). Officials stated the alerts may be lowered to more earth tone colors since the Pryzbys, who were last spotted heading south on I-95 early Friday morning, are assumed to be returning to their base camp in the swampy areas near Ocala.

Season Closes With TNAC Team Winning Big At Silver Lake Scramble. Sullivan near ace on South Course.
Summary by Mike (almost another Ace) Sullivan........
" We had a great time at Silver Lake. Greg and I got to play for just the cost of a cart, 10 bucks, because we were veterans. Our team also won 90 bucks for having low score for 18 holes, 3 under, and also winning two par threes. I missed a hole in one on the third hole of the south course by one inch. We also birdied number 8 on the south course. We had a great drive and had about 135 yards in and Greg knocked it within ten feet and Tom made the birdie putt. Nice way to end the season, because I think we're done for the year."
" PumpkinMan " Greg Shoots 74 On His Birthday
Wilkus Flies North....plays on 3 teams at Gleneagle CC. Greg makes Big Splash
Playing in wet conditions, veteran TNACIAN Bob Wilkus swooped into town making a rare northern climate appearance and fired an 81 on Gleneagle Red Course. Strapped with Jay as a partner, at the end of the first six holes the duo still managed to eek out a 2 point victory over Greg and Dave.
Then, paired with Dave on the 2nd leg of this forgetable 'triathlon' he was again on the winning team thanks to Dave's unusually straight drives and hot putter.(In a fit of boredom Bob even played several adjoining fairways....also racing to nearby tennis courts in a vain effort to once again see Artie)
Finally, Dave was now strapped with Jay on the final 6 holes again puting Bob on the winning team with Greg.
Note: Greg was not content watching many of his approaches make large splashes in water-filled traps, so he decided to make another splash in the clubhouse by knocking over his glass of cold beer into Bob and Jay's laps and completely soaking several large bills intended for the TNAC treasury.
Bob signed a few autographs for the waitress then suddenly disappeared into a magic vortex that dropped down from the sky and whisked him away.
Additional note: Jay found a large unidentified turd next to his ball on the 7th green.

Greg Makes Big Splash....Then & Now
Texas Scramble at Gleneagles White Course
Monday Oct 19, 2009
Tom, Mike & Greg vs Larry, Bill, Dave & Jay. Under Texas Scramble rules each team played the group's best drive. Riding hard on the back of Dave's booming drives that repeatedly split the center of the lush fairways, Larry, Bill & Jay added stellar short iron games & deadly putting to force Tom, Mike & Greg to scramble for a point tie. Larry amazed even himself by dropping two unbelievably long birdie putts on 12 & 13 followed by Bill dropping a clutch birdie putt on 18. Jay later complimented course officials on the contour of the greens.
Tom was low man with a 77. Larry 85, Greg 87 (pick it up), Bill 88, Jay 87 (huh?), Mike 88,
Dave 91 and sore back for carrying his team.
Silver Lake Scramble 10-8-09 Rain shortened to nine holes.Tracy wins longest drive in 65 & under flight. Larry wins lottery prize while absent. Greg announces standing offer for 2010.
Due to rapidly deteriorating weather conditions course officials made this into a nine hole scramble rather than eighteen. Dave, Larry, Jim, and Hugh finished even par with two birdies. Mike, Tom, Greg and Bill finished 1 under par with two birdies. Neither team won prizes. Tom Tracy took longest drive in 65 & under flight narrowly inching out long hitting Barbara Szwanz who finished second in the two person 65 & under field.
Larry went home not realizing his lottery ticket prize # was called after he left. Greg turns 75 in 2010 and is selling his forward tee position for the current market price of $100.
Bill won a tee with a string on it. All participants won certificates good for 18 holes & cart...expires Dec, 2010.
Larry Loses it following chunked chip at Lincoln Oaks. Greg almost decapitated by errant tee shot.
October 5th, 2009
Playing point system rather than strokes, Larry and Bill beat Dave and Greg out of $3 winning back nine by one point. No birdies. Greg had only prox on 15, but missed 10 ft birdie putt.
In a bizarre side note, a golf course official warned Larry to control his temper after chunking a chip shot on 11th hole. Can anger management classes be next for Larry?
Later, describing a strange 'whistling sound' and a 'thud', turns out Greg narrowly escaped decapitation while playing 18 from errant shot off 10th tee.
Dave parred 18 after narrowly missing 12 ft birdie putt.
No long gimmees...amazing experience.
Two Days on Lake Shafer Sept 8-9, 2009
"Jay, for the last time. That is not a dolphin...it's Mike."
Review of 2 days at Bill's: Mike and Dave sang yippe-yi-yo after a swim. Dave, after a close-up inspection, claimed someone stole the original lady of Shafer Lake. Smitty smiled and ate big cheesy things on the boat. Jay had happy face after spending the night in a motel with Mike. Bill looked content that his cottage remained intact. Greg went home mumbling about strange and ghostly images he had seen flickering in the night.
Stanwich, Big Ben bring Prairie Bluff to it's knees. Bill's Revenge at 4th Hole.
Jay was low man with 87 with Ben firing an 88. Cart paths only: Dave, Larry, Ben, Bill vs

" Many people have asked me what Padraig Harrington and I discussed when we talked at Medinah. (Yes, since that conversation he has won three major championships. He signed my hat, and of course, I had to sign his.) It can now be revealed that we worked on his sand game. "
Augusta, GA-April 11th-3rd Round The Masters-Padraig Miffed...............After scoring par on #1 Padraig Harrington was on the tee at Par 5 #2 when a ringing phone caused him to severly hook the ball leftside into the woods. The phone call to Paddy was traced to TNAC correspondent Bob Wilkus'. Scoring a quadruple bogey 9 Padraig was effectively eliminated.
