Jake 15 Thoughts by Chagnasty:

Awfully light on the traffic around here of late - very disappointing. You'd think that if you created a website specifically for and about us we'd be on it more than this... Whatever, I'll take advantage of the lull by offering a few thoughts on Jake Day #15 - for what they're worth.

First Congratulations to Keith K. & Dee for winning this years scramble. They tore up the course. We've got some ideas on how to level the playing field for us "common-ers" next year. One idea Heff came up with is the "give shots or take shots" concept, meaning the single handicappers either give the field a stroke(s) or they take an alcoholic shot(s) before/during the round. Another would be to have them play alone. We've got plenty time to kick this around so stay tuned.

LOW-LIGHTS:
Tuck, TP, Dee, JV, Hub, Squirrel - no show for breakfast. This shows a blatant disregard for Jake and all he stands for and will not be tolerated at future Jakes.

A big question that is swirling around is, should TP be demoted to Associate status after missing breakfast, golf and 2 prime drinking hours at the Chapeau?

Stubby's ailment forcing him to play only 9 holes and exit the Chapeau early.

Unnecessary squabbles/hashing out old scores etc. Squirrel & Keith K.

Rosco driving home.

HIGH-LIGHTS:
Squirrel's ordering up multiple shots. At the time it seemed like he was a mad man way out of control but in retrospect it was the right call. We were all feeling it by 6pm and had no idea what time it was.

BT Pub was a good choice. Pool tables kept us occupied while aforementioned squabbles took place.

Tuck (new Cat) had an impressive inaugural year and showed that he's up for anything the Jakers had to offer.

Stalkfleet - best dressed (took a page from Stubby's handbook).

All in all it was an above average Jake and one we can look back on with pride.
