FAMOUS GOLF QUOTES

If you are going to throw a club, it is important to throw it ahead of you, down the fairway, so you don't have to waste energy going back to pick it up. ~ Tommy Bolt

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.

~ Gardner Dickinson

If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death.

~ Sam Snead

Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness. ~ William Wordsworth

If you drink, don't drive ~ Don't even putt.

~ Dean Martin

This is the March 2007 edition of the WESTLAKE TOWN CRIERS NEWLETTER. Here are some of the highlights from the meetings in February and March:

2/05/07

· The new fund-raiser is in full swing. It will be held at the FOP Hall on February 25^th starting at 2:00. The cost is $75. There will be 8 tables with 8 players each. The next newsletter will carry the results.

· There seems to have been a mix-up with ticket prices. $70 was printed on the tickets, so that’s the official price. The final outcome on the menu – it will be the same as in the past.

· There seems to be some confusion as to who is running the golf league this year. More to follow.

· There were 21 members present, and John Sweany’s name was drawn. John was present and walked away with $141.

2/19/07

· There was still 20 Reverse Raffle tickets for sale. Help is needed to sell them.

· Don’t forget membership dues ($40). They should be paid by the next meeting.

· There were 20 members present, and Chuck George’s name was drawn. Chuck was present and walked away with $20.

3/05/07

· The Golf League is once again being run by Bruce Pullman and Rich Masciere. The entry fee is $75 and should be paid to either Bruce or Rich by May 2^nd which is the first night of the league. The last 2 Wednesdays of April are practice rounds. There will be some changes, and we hope everyone likes them.

· The TEXAS-HOLDEM Fund Raiser held Feb. 25^th had 21 players. The Town Criers made $580 thanks in part to the donations of pizza by Chuck George and poker chips by John Meno. I’m not sure of the $$ savings of the pizza donation, but the donation of the poker chips saved us $210. Thanks to both Chuck and John.

· The Reverse Raffle was held on March 2^nd and Nick Hillman was not at the meeting so the actual profit is unknown, but it is estimated at $9000.

· Al Psota reminded us that our annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Rec. Center playground will be held on March 31^st. A number of activities have already been started, and he is looking for a big turnout to help with riot control. The actual hunt start at 1:00 and he would like to have volunteers there by 11:30 or so. At our next meeting (March 19^th) we will be mixing all the candy for the various hunts and making up the Easter baskets for the prizes.

· As a possible way to attracting new members, a new committee has been formed to come up with ways to get high school kids along with their fathers involved with some of our activities. The hope is that there father would then consider joining our organization.

· There were 27 members present, and Joe Beleski’s name was drawn. Joe was not present.

The following is a list of those who have not paid this year’s dues. It’s possible that they no longer want to a member, which is fine, but for those who do this will be the last NEWSLETTER until you pay your dues. The next NEWSLETTER will contain an updated membership roster.

Steve Connolly	Nick Hillman	Jim Leo	Dave McCrone
Doug Foxx	Jim Hurd	Art Lerner	Joe O'Malley
Don Glauner	Dan Kelley	Michael Mandato	Ted Vance

*************************************************************

Now for a little humor

An old Indian Chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a Ceremonial pipe and eyeing two U.S. Government officials sent to interview him.

"Chief Two Eagles" asked one Official, "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."

The Chief nodded in agreement.

The Official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?”

The Chief stared at the Government Officials for over a minute and then calmly replied,

“When white man found the land, Indians were running it:

• · No Taxes, No Debt.
• · Plenty Buffalo, Plenty Beaver.

· Medicine Man free.

· Indian man spent all day hunting, fishing and all night having sex."

Then the Chief leaned back and smiled, "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."
