Golf registration was supposed to close on Friday, July 15. With this being fraternal land, the deadline has been extended. If you would like to golf, if you would like to receive a shirt that fits, I strongly encourage you to right now (well, as soon as you finish reading this newsletter), go fill out and submit your application. Please submit a waiver as well!
There was a golf commissioners’ meeting on Monday evening. Bob Kuzmicz filled us in on the details for the upcoming golf. Nest 80 is ready for the golfers! Courses are booked, shirts are ordered, meals are arranged, fun is scheduled…along with numerous other matters. They’re prepared!
For those of you participating in the Hammer Open on Wednesday, August 10, you will receive an email with your tee time from me (probably during the first week of August). This episode is being played at Elbel Golf Course with tee times beginning at 9 a.m. Jeff Jalowiecki of Nest 307 is handling the event.

In 1905, tees were lengthened and pot bunkers added to the Old Course out of a concern for the modern golf ball.
Shockingly (not!) Tiger Woods has the lowest score in the Open at St. Andrews.
John Daly beat Constantino Rocca in a playoff in the 1995 British Open to win. (That tournament is the one that turned me into a British Open fan! My favorite tournament!)
