CUP IS MISSING 2













Not to worry gents I am doing just fine.Wow what another great year. I can't believe It's been ten years that I have faithfully served the GCC players association with pride and joy and yet I can't help but feel like it's been a lifetime. I know that you are all concerned about my well being but rest assured I am safe and sound. Please don't be too hard on captain Chuck for my disappearance as he was gracious enough to share me with his team and left me in capable hands.







As you may have noticed I did not make an appearance at the bar and during that time I reflected on the last 9 times I made the trip. I chose to leave you behind so I could get away and hopefully meet up with some of my idols: Stanley; Calder; Memorial and Sutherland, to see what it takes to be a worthy and monumental achievement.Here are some pics of me preparing me for my journey. As you can see I cleaned myself up, passport in hand and ready to go. I will send more as I make my way through my travels which should last me until the best cup finals are done.

THE CUP IS MISSING



The Cup has gone missing and continues to update us with "his" whereabouts:







Gents, Sorry it's been a while since my last communication but traveling can be very hectic as I am sure you are aware.





Turns out I got invited to the Players Championship tournament this past weekend and fell in love with the game. Couldn't wait to try it out so I made my way to the nearest driving range to see what i could do. As you can see from the pic they would only allow us to tee off from the synthetic mats due to heavy rain fall the night before.Not sure when I will make it back. Having too much fun.
