Last
Thursday during our Howie's bowling league, our team "Bad News Balls"
(Kurt, Steve, Shenkosky and I) was in a tough match against the President of
the company team. We had won the first
game by 47 pins. We then lost the second
game by 25 pins. Now in the third game,
after three frames it was not looking good.
Ever the
competitors, Kurt and I were trying our hardest to find something, anything to
pull out a win. I threw my first ball
and thought it was perfect, but when it hit the pins and left an 8-10 split. I was furious and upon walking back swung my
left fist at the ball return.
CRACK. Immediately I knew
something was wrong. My fingers went
numb. The numbness was followed by pain,
a lot of pain. I stood motionless for a
moment hoping that it would be fine, but I was wrong. I then grabbed my ball and threw it, missing
the spare.
Unfortunately
now, not only was I in pain, but we continued to get throttled. When the smoke cleared we had lost the last
game and totals. No one on the team was
happy.
On the way
home I tried steering the wheel with my sore hand, not a great idea. When turning onto 14 Mile the wheel caught my
pinky finger bending it slightly… I can honestly say it was some of the worst
pain I have ever felt.
I then
called Kim to tell her I was on the way home.
I told her my hand was killing me and what had happened. She called me an "idiot and that I
shouldn't be punching sh!t". I
thanked her for the advice and hung up.
When I got
home the swelling was bad. I tried to
elevate it to keep the pressure down. I
was able to sleep off and on, but the pain was kind of bad.
Over the
next few days it was painful, but I wanted to make it through the weekend and
see how it healed. On Monday, I called
and made a doctor’s appointment to have my monthly blood test for my blood
thinner and a look at the hand.
Before I
left for the appointment today Kim asked me to let the Doc know about my
hand. So I promised.
At the
appointment he looked the hand over and said we needed an X-ray. When the pics were done he brought them into
the room and broke the bad news. My hand
was broken. He showed me the break just
behind my left pinky knuckle. My first
words: "You're not putting a cast on it".
He protested
and told me that I should. This way he
could guarantee that I don't try to swing a golf club. I asked him what other options he had. He then produced a splint and a roll of
tape. After a couple minutes, I had a
makeshift splint, and he had a promise that I would not do anything to it for 6
weeks.
Needless to say
I feel like an idiot. But I have learned
a valuable lesson. When you're losing in
bowling, do not punch the ball return.
You can break your hand.

WOOF – Yesterday
the NGA received an urgent message from Ron Clifton requesting DVM advice. It had appeared to Clifton that his puppy dog
Pluto had swallowed the metal portion of a twin razor blade. All that was found on the floor was the
plastic housing.
Clifton
rushed his dog to the local veterinary hospital were it was determined that
Pluto indeed had eaten the razor blade.
Should Pluto
be allowed to try and pass the blade through his system, in hope that his
stomach, intestines and anal regions would not become a butchered mess or to
put him under the expensive, yet more reliable surgical knife of a veterinary
handyman?
Clifton
chose surgery and his doggie is resting fine.
“We dodged a huge bullet today!” texted Clifton.
Upon receiving
the bill, he also added “We just repurchased Pluto $$$$ again!”
WOFF, WOOF –
Last Friday, on the way home from work, the NGA gave a call to Andy Kurncz to
see how things were going.
Kurncz
stated that he and his family were at Payless Shoes in Twelve Oaks enjoying
Bogo. He bragged that after buying
shoes, the family was off to Olga’s Kitchen for dinner. A large order of Snackers and an Original
Olga was in his future.
I complained
that it was not fair for him to enjoy Olga’s while his buddy in the south could
not. In a show of good gesture, Kurncz
promised to send me a picture of his meal.
Two hours
had past and no picture. The NGA was
worried and gave him a call.
Kurncz
stated that things had changed and he was now on his way home. No Olga’s Kitchen for him – no Snackers or
Original Olga. He complained his belly
was hungry.
It seems as
though the Kurncz family had meandered into a mall pet store. $500 later they were on their way home with a
new dog.
“I guess it

Karl Nagy,
2007
At the turn
– After a solid par on 9, I was happy to be only 2 down going to the back nine
against putting manic Goetzke. What I
was not happy with was the service in the clubhouse for two Gatorades – it took
15 minutes to pay for them, plus I left my favorite golf towel on the
counter. Stupid Canadians! [Goetzke 38, Nagy 40]
10th hole
(par 4) – I figured that driver was the perfect club and hit an easy one to the
right center of the fairway. Goetzke
decided that driver was perfect too and hit a high flare right – luckily he
missed it way right of all the junk. My
approach came up short on the fringe and I didn’t chip it close enough, but
Kurt was busy hitting a tree and pitching long of the pin; he did make another
long one for double. All was well. Lead down to one. [Goetzke 44, Nagy 45]
11th hole
(par 3) – After McKay stole the tee and hit a 6-iron just left and long, I knew
my 7 was perfect. I hit it at the right
edge of the left bunker, but I didn’t see it land. I figured it was just long. Upon reaching the green, my ball was
nowhere. After some searching, I headed
back to the tee. I remember thinking
what a long, stupid, dirty cart ride this was to that misplaced tee. I hoped not to be killed by the golfers
teeing off on 18. I pulled my second
7-iron under a tree, dubbed one into the bunker, splashed out and mindlessly
three putted, all the while my buddy Kurt was pitching and putting for
par. In a blink of an eye, I just lost 5
shots. I was in big trouble now. [Goetzke 47, Nagy 53]
12th hole
(par 5) – Goetzke had the tee and hit his 3-iron way left. I pulled out driver, even though Kurt said
there was no room to hit it. I needed to
smack something very badly. I aimed left
and unleashed. The ball ended perfect at
the 150 yard marker, but I failed to get my 2nd all the way up to the perched
green and only made par. Goetzke
gleefully found his tee ball and reached the green in three, but he left his
tough downhill putt short (thanks Dan and Ron for scaring him) and missed the
par attempt. Finally a miss by
Goat! [Goetzke 53, Nagy 58]
13th hole
(par 4) – My head was finally cleared again and I told myself all was not
lost. I smoked my driver perfect
(again). Unfortunately my approach was
pulled and missed left. My recovery
pitch wasn’t good enough. Bogey for
me. Goetzke was busy hacking down the
entire right side of the hole, but came away with bogey as well. No blood.
[Goetzke 58, Nagy 63]
14th hole
(par 4) – I ripped another drive dead center and a good 9-iron left me 8 feet
for birdie. Goetzke said he hit a great
drive, but we couldn’t find it. After a
long search, he found it on his way back to the teebox. His ball was 20 yards behind McKay’s, not 25
ahead. Nice! Unfortunately for him he smoked his 2nd way
over the green into some shrubbery. I
thought to myself that maybe this was my chance? After finding his ball, Kurt’s third just got
it out of the deep stuff; he then pitched it long of the green, fatted one,
then wedged to 10-12 feet and rolled the putt in (of course) for triple. Before I attempted by birdie, I switched my
grip to cross-handed and played the ball off my left toe. I was putting so badly, I figured it couldn’t
hurt. I hit a good putt, but misread the
amount of break. Nonetheless, I picked
up three shots. [Goetzke 65, Nagy 67]
15th hole
(par 3) – Driver was too much, so I tried to smoke hook a 2-iron, but toe
dubbed it 70 yards from the green. Poor
Goetzke’s tee ball ended up on a tree stump balanced on some pieces of crap
wood. No chance for par. He squibed his shot behind the green and
couldn’t get it up and down. I hit a
real good 2nd to about 8 feet, but missed it to tie the lead. [Goetzke 70, Nagy 71]
16th hole
(par 4) – I hit another drive perfectly and a solid approach 30 feet pin high
left. Goetzke was again all over the
place and reach the green in three. I
decided to hit the putt with my SW for better speed, but I left it six feet
shy. It was more uphill than I
thought. I hit another good cross handed
putt (to tie the lead), but I missed again.
Goetzke must have felt sorry for me and slow lipped out his tiny putt
for bogey. Somehow all was squared. [Goetzke 76, Nagy 76]
17th hole
(par 3) – A tough hole. I hit a steered
6-iron to the right back (safe side) of the green. Big relief.
Goetzke hit his tee ball on a better line, but near the water left. Kurt chipped close with his rescue and I hit
a real good first putt and made a man-maker 3 footer for par. [Goetzke 79, Nagy 79]
18th hole
(par 5) – I pumped a real good driver to just around the 200 yard marker. Kurt hit a good 3-iron off the tee and
another long iron just short of a greenside bunker. SkyCaddie said I had 205 yards to the middle
of the green. I planned to play a high
fade over the trees, but I swung a bit hard and the ball went straight and unluckily
ended in a fairway bunker. I had about
60 yards over another trap to the green.
I thought about playing around the sand, but figured if I hit a good one
the pressure would be back on Kurt. I
caught too much ball and I went over the green into a hazard. I took my drop and pitched to 10
feet-ish. Kurt dumped his 3rd into a bunker,
but hit a good sand shot to 5 feet. I
knew I needed to make mine for any chance and poured it in. I still figured Goetzke would make his, but
no. His putt lost its speed and missed
low. Playoff time. [Goetzke 85, Nagy 85]
Playoff 1:
18th hole (par 5) – Goetzke went first and hit an ugly 3-iron short and
right. I hit my worst drive of the day,
longer than him, but right too. I
figured a 9-iron would get me to around 100 yards, but fatted it to 150. An easy 9-iron from 150 was a perfect third,
but I patched it again, just short of Goetzke’s bunker. I really wasn’t paying attention, but somehow
Goetzke finally reached the green in four.
My pitch from short of the bunker was on bear ground, but I was fairly
confident I could hit it close. I was
wrong and dumped it into the trap. I hit
the sand shot to 8 feet and made the putt for bogey. Kurt now had to make his lag from 4 feet to
extend things. He poured it in.
Playoff 2:
1st hole (par 5) – Goetzke choose his driver – as long as he hit it solid, he’d
be fine. He didn’t and hit a high, weak
ball right into a hazard. I ripped my
driver dead center to under 200 yards.
Big advantage me. After a drop
next to the garbage, Kurt ripped a rescue 250+ yards to 20 yards short. Nice recovery pal. I picked a 7-iron for my second to avoid going
long and hit it to the front fringe.
Goetzke told me he was going to get up and down and wedged it to 6 feet. My 8-iron chip and run stopped 10 feet short
and my putt to win the damn thing missed low.
I thought with the aerated green, Kurt may miss, maybe, maybe. Nope.
Playoff 3:
2nd hole (par 4) – Kurt ripped a 6-iron over the edge of the trees
perfect. My 6-iron was pushed right,

Kurt
Goetzke, 2007
As the Back
Nine started, I was pretty confident...had not hit the ball great on the Front
Nine, but still had managed a 38 with some ridiculous putting...was a little
down because I left a 5 foot putt woefully short on 9 for a 37, showing a
little nerve and tentativeness...A very bad decision on my tee ball (hitting
Driver) on Number 10 lead to a punch out and a SW that came up short and hit a
tree short and right of the green...a pitch across the green and a painful just
missed bogey putt from 15 feet led to double bogey...I had given back a stroke
right out of the gate on the back nine...then came the turning point hole of
the entire day...After Dan hit a 6 iron slightly long and left, I pulled
(literally and figuratively) a 7 iron...it hit the edge of the bunker and
kicked right into a great spot just off the green...Nagy then struck a 7 Iron
as well and hit what appeared to be a fine, majestic shot just a bit left
(looked like it would be right about where mine was)...after looking for 5
minutes, Nagy's ball was NOWHERE to be seen and had to return to the tee where
he proceeded to card an 8...Most awful break I have ever seen...I pitched to 4
feet or so and made the putt, making up 5 strokes on Karl and taking a
seemingly insurmountable 6 shot lead...I made a bogey on 12 (three putting) and
followed that up with a bogey on 13...then the fun began...I hit my best drive
of the day on 14 (which is not saying much), and then we commenced to
looking...we looked everywhere and when it appeared all was lost and I was
turning the cart back to the tee, I found my ball on the edge of the fairway,
just in the rough...we all agreed I could hit the ball, but feeling stupid
about the whole situation, I kind of quick hit a 7 iron from about 190
(downwind) and it hit over the green and went deep into the woods...I then hit
a provisional 8 iron on the BACK of the green...we found my ball, but it was a
tough shot...I got it out short, but then skulled the next shot off hardpan
into the fairway...I then dumped my chip about 2 feet in front of me and then
pitched to 15 feet straight downhill...I then MADE the putt for a 7, losing 3
strokes to Karl...On 15 I hit a 3 Wood pin high left, but, tragically, it was
against the stump of a cut down tree and against a piece of bark that would
have caused my ball to move if I moved it...I chipped sideways and then chipped
to about 15 feet and missed for a double...On 16 I hit 3 IRON, 5 IRON, and
chipped to about 25 after a horrible bounce right...I left the putt 4 feet
short and then had the worst lip out of the trip for another double
bogey...Karl missed a short putt for par and we were then, all of a sudden,
TIED again going to the treacherous 17th...I hit a solid punch trap draw 5 Iron
to about pin high left, where I then Rescue putted to 3 feet and made it for
par...Nagy also pared and we moved on to 18 still tied...I smoked a 3 Iron down
the middle, but in a terrible lie...I forced a solid cut 4 iron up in front of
the green, but on a downhill hardpan lie...Nagy had hit left and long in the
fairway bunker with an impossible shot and when he caught too much ball and hit
it way into the hazard long, I had an opening...I considered chipping sideways,
but felt I could get under it enough to get it somewhere on the green...NOT

waiting to hit their tee shots on the par 3 #14 at St Clair Parkway GC, a
urinating Karl Nagy asked his playing partners if they had a problem with
dripping urine after completion of a “draining the main vein”. They agreed that this has become a recent
problem for each – much to their relief.
One unnamed

declared. “It is good to see we are all

Goetzke Crowned 2007
NGAWire®
24Sep07
In one of
the closest battles in
The final
round started with Nagy leading by 1 over Goetzke and 6 over Ron Clifton. Handicap differential placed all three
players in a dead heat with each other.
After the
front nine on Sunday, only Nagy and Goetzke remained in contention. Goetzke took a two shot lead into the back
and increased it to six with help of a Nagy quadruple bogey on 11, but a
Goetzke stretch of triple-double-double squared things up with two to play.
Both players
made good pars on the difficult par 3 #17 to keep things level. After messing up their third shots on the par
5 #18, both players began to scramble, Nagy from a hazard and Goetzke from a
bunker. Good recovery efforts by both
and a holed 12 footer by Nagy left Goetzke 5 feet from the title, unfortunately
the putt missed low. All was tied after
regulation.
The players
went back and played 18 as the first playoff hole. Less than spectacular drives and approach
shots left both players short of the green in three. Goetzke smartly played his fourth onto the
green, while Nagy patched his shot into a sand bunker. Nagy gamely got his ball up and in for a
bogey six and Goetzke two putted, holing a slippery four footer, to extend the
playoff.
On the par 5
#1, Goetzke flared his drive high and right into a hazard. After a penalty drop, Goetzke smashed his
rescue club 20 yards from the green.
Nagy hit his second onto the fringe, but failed to get up and down and
settled for par. Goetzke pitched from
just short of the green to 8 feet and rolled his putt home to tie the hole.
The battle
finally ended on the par 4 #2. A weak
tee ball and approach shot over the green left Nagy with an impossible up and
down chance. Goetzke, soundly in the
heart of the green after two good irons, was in control. Nagy proceeded to thin his third over the
green into a bunker, and then splashed number four back across onto the
fringe. A Nagy lag putt past the cup
left Goetzke with three putts for the win.

I Ate The Pounder
NGAWire®
24Jul07
Yesterday
NGA’s own Andy Kurncz ate the pounder.
During his
lunch with fellow MicroMotion co-workers at Cheeburger Cheeburger in Livonia,
MI, Andy and fellow colleague Dan decided they would take on the semi-famous
“Our Famous Pounder” 20oz pre-cooked hamburger.
“The first
half went down like nothing” declared Andy.
The second was a bit more of a challenge. “I really had to pace myself eating the 2nd
half pound.”
Not only did
both men finish their burgers, but they also consumed a basket of Frings and
large drinks. Their efforts obtained
them each an “I ATE THE POUNDER” t-shirt and a photo of themselves holding a
massive burger was taken and adorns the restaurant’s wall of fame.
Noted Andy,
“What we ate was equivalent to five Quarter Pounder’s w/Cheese.”

Dew sweeping
at 7AM is a beautiful thing.
My round
Sunday Morning began at 6:47 AM on the Red Nine at Saskatoon golf club. Surprisingly the course was buzzing with
activity, another single was teeing off on the White nine (although he was
riding), a foursome was waiting for him to clear on the same nine. I had a twosome walking behind me that as
soon as I hit my second shot on the first hole was firing away. I quickly walked up to the green and two
putted for my par. In a hurry went to
the next tee trying to build a gap between myself and the next group. After the second hole I couldn’t see them
anymore but, assumed they were approaching the tee so, I had a one hole cushion
built up. I kept up the pace, and
walking down the 5th hole (easiest par 5 on the course which I bogeyed), I saw
them just beginning to approach the second green. Not sure how I built a 2+ hole cushion that
fast but, I just kept motoring along.
Walking up the 9th hole I see the other single teeing off on the Blue
nine. So, I was about even with him
since he teed off and was in the fairway when I teed off.
Made the turn at 7:50 AM, moving across the street to the Gold nine. Walked the first two holes of the back nine and couldn’t see anyone else out there besides me, smooth sailing ahead. As I teed off on the 12th hole as I addressed the ball, I heard a driver impacting the ball on the second hole. As I walked towards the tree I hit on this par 3, I surveyed the situation and saw that it was a single golfer riding with his dog running along side him. In my mind I said okay let’s
