| Best 2 quotes of the weekend:
1. From the random girl at, the ever so classy, Forum bar in Granville.
(Jonas was there to witness this. I couldn't get enough of late night Granville.) Apparently Christoffer and I had met this girl on friday night while we were at, the even more classy, BB's Thirst House (I think that's the name of it) and we came up with the brilliant idea to buy everyone in the bar a drink.
So, amidst her reeling off all of these references to what must have been a very long conversation at BB's, that I don't remember at all, she asks me "where's your gay friend with the scarf?"
2. from Christoffer himself.
We're driving home, sitting in traffic on 87, and as a car in front of us cuts us off Christoffer says: "Oh, look at this c#nt. I'm surrounded by f#cking c#nts everywhere." | | 8/2008 • 16:27

| RECEPTION DINNER
Gents,
The reception dinner will be hosted at the Red Brick Grill in Poultney at 7:30 on Saturday. We have reservation for 12 people and the evening’s host/toast master is Bojan. At dinner we will summarize the day, the results and the next days format. We will also crown 2008 GMO’s best mustache. Please dress accordingly and let Bojan know if you cannot make it.
Again, the evening’s toastmaster is Bojan and speeches or pranks needs to go through Bojan.

| Gentlemen,
There is now less then 2 weeks before we T-OFF the 4th straight Green Mountain Open. By the posting it looks like we will have a record amount of players, both new and old participants. It is also nice to see more people actually involved in making this tourney even better. Even though it is hard to predict the outcome of 2008 edition of GMO, one thing is certain; we will have a new Champion this year. Finally!!!
On a more serious note and I don't want to sound bitter…. but after dealing with a bunch of geezers at certain educational institutions and country clubs. I cannot get over how certain people, businesses or institutions actually mange their life, organizations or subordinates. I personally always though logic prevails have been proven wrong. Anyway, what I am trying to say is that I don’t want to stand on the first T box (at 8:00 AM on Saturday August 16, 2008) getting the questions when certain alums will show up. So let’s collectively make sure that everyone on the list below is going to show or NOT.
1) J. Barry (confirmed)
2) B. Celekovic (confirmed)
3) J. Adler (confirmed)
4) JEG (confirmed)
5) C.Eriksson (confirmed)
6) C. Heim (confirmed)

Gents,
I just got off the phone with the presidents office and the Two Editors Inn is a NO GO. Supposedly, students vandalized the Inn when alumni’s soccer players stayed there. A policy was put in place by the former president, Jack Brennan, and they will not make any exception to the rule even though I would take full financial responsibility for any damages. Sorry gents but we will have to find alternatives. | | 8/2008 • 03:28

| BIT OF A PROBLEM-- EVERYONE PLEASE READ THIS!
Called today to solidify Tee Times for 16th/17th based on current participants. We are booked for 8:00,8:10,8:20,8:30 on Saturday but Sunday there is a problem and here are the options. When I wanted to book Sunday AM for the same Tee Times as Saturday they claimed they cant allow it because there is a Tourny being played in the AM!( Its not on the LSCC site so WTF!) So our options are this: On Sunday the earlist we can get a Tee Time as a group this big is 2:30PM. (I had her pencil us in) Now I am well aware that this scenario is not the best as the bulk of you are traveling from out of state and after 4 plus hours of golf that means you cats dont get home until 10pm/11PM and thats not cool. Or maybe you guys dont care, just thinking of you here. I asked her to let me know that if she can accomadate an earlier Tee Time on Sunday to call me immediately. I guess my question here is that I thought we had these dates blocked out for us? Or was that not the case? Second option if we dont want to do the above is possibly look at Prospect Bay on Bomoseen for Sunday. Its no St. Catherine but its close and might be the only other option.
OR as a last resort we bang out the GMO on Saturday. Yes that means 36 holes of golf in one day, and I already asked her if we could do that and she said yes. She also offerid to give us group rates on Golf/Food which I may follow up on to see if the price per person is cheaper than going at it individually. It seems half the battle here is that they dont except Tee Times more than a week in advance. She made an exception here with us as our group is big. So lets chime in as to how everyone feels about the above and we can work out the details this week.

It looks like two editors inn is out. We have to find alternatives...Anyway, please see the response below (don't know how correct by attaching the email but wanted people to know.)
Thank you for getting back to me. I am curious: previous years we have been able to use Two Editors during the tournament. Is it fully booked or has something changed?

Sorry it has taken me a couple of days to get back with you. I am sorryto say that the Two Editors Inn is not available for use. I would suggest the Panorama (518) 282-9000 or 9648. If I can be of further

Chris and Ray,
I trust all is well and you both are enjoying the summer without thecollege kids around.
Ray, how is the roster looking for the upcoming season?
Anyway, I would like to ask you for a huge favor. As you probably know we have put together an annual GMC alumnae golf tournament in Poultney.
This year is the 4th straight year for this prestigious tournament and will as usual be played at Lake St. Catherine Country Club. The dates
are set for August 16th and 17th and I wanted to see if you have any pull in reserving beds at Two Editors Inn. I am going to ask anyone staying for the two nights making a $100 donation straight to the soccer
program at Green Mountain, without any exception. I will also take full responsibility leaving the place in the same shape it was when we got
there. We are looking for housing for the night of 15th and 16th. Please let me know if any of you can help?
Best Regards,
Christoffer Eriksson '00 | |

| Your making it sound like I have a problem Reese?? So if you could golf for FREE at one one of Vermonts Top Rated Courses and the greens were just ROLLIN' wouldnt you take advantage of such a Perk? Not that any of that is true. | | 7/2008 • 17:45
Reese
| Sully I am jealous .....And you do have a problem..cause I just bought Nintendo Wie Golf..I should be fine... right?? | | 7/2008 • 17:56
Reese
| I would like to bring to the GMC Open Board that Sully might be onto something if we can tie in group scores...
May make it even fun for the hackers like myself | |
7/2008 • 15:47
Reese
| I am starting to get a little anxious when I hear from a little birdie who is down in Jersey, that Sully is playing almost 9 holes a day!!!
The only 9 holes I do a day are from Dunkin Dounuts. Can I pretend I am fitz and take his scores when he plays in Italy those days. | | 7/2008 • 17:08
eriksson
| Reese,
these guys can play 36 holes a day for two years and they will still crumble under pressure at the open. Barry is a perfect example and Sully will not be an exception. | |

eriksson
| I am waiting to hear back about the housing. Should have something tomorrow gents... | |

sandbagger
| I will be the sandbagger | |
7/2008 • 16:11
Sullivan
| You know Reese, Fitzy and the Swede were always taking care of tallying the scores while I concentrated on Drinking. (Notice the capital "D" in the Drinking part) So we will have to have one of them chime in here. I would imagine it is group low, but I dont know the specifics on how they pair teams for the following day.It always seemed to be an even match to me,so????? | | 7/2008 • 01:29
Fitz
| I know Eder, we heard your frustration last year, and instituted the 23.34(A)i(C)vi(A) this rule affectionately dubbed the "ORIGINAL HACKER RULE" states that "if during the course of the tournament, Christopher Eder (henceforth, Hacker)is not in a position to be the "Hacker of the Year" other members of his foursome will, at all costs, attempt to disrupt Hacker's game. Including but not limited to driving over his ball with a cart, coughing in his backswing and tossing, not throwing, spare golf balls near his feet during his swing." This rule was voted on by the GMO Commitee in November of 2007 and, if ratified, will take effect during this year's tournament, thus ensuring that you will again be the "Original Hacker".
| | 7/2008 • 15:43
Reese
| So this is individual!
With no group? or a side bet with the foursome you are parred with? | | 7/2008 • 01:42
Fitz
| Set up and Scoring for GMO:
Normally the GMO Commitee will establish the pairings for each 4-some that tees off on Saturday. Accomodations are made for those requesting to play with certain people, but not all requests can be met. (Basically don't get pissed if you're playing with The Swede)
So day one is more or less a draw for pairings.
Day two pairings are a bit more complex and since my worst grades at GMC were in math I will try to explain the basics. (Swede knows it all)
Basically all of the scores are taken in and using the slope/rating a differential of the scores is found. Using this differential the number of strokes Sully gets will vary greatly vs. the number of strokes Eder with get and etc. I has worked in the past, so long as someone doesn't sandbag the first day and then shoot 81 on the second day. Again, GMO Committee has the right, AND THE DUTY, to determine any sandbagger play. BE WARNED.
I'm sure I messed that up so here is the Swede to explain it. . .
Have fun boys, and thank God I'm not playing. Just shot my worst round in 2 or 3 years. Not even going to say how high it was, but it was high. . . | | 7/2008 • 01:44
Fitz
| Uh. . . sorry, didn't answer the question. . . The answer Reese is individual. This is an individual competition with LD and C-To-P. USPGA rules apply. | | 7/2008 • 07:54
Sullinator
| Thanks Fitz, I figured it was along the lines of individual but I didnt want to steal you Thunder! Good luck on bringing that score down! | | 7/2008 • 11:29
Eder
| Just to clear something up...Jonas and Damien had much higher scores than me. After Professor Fitz and Captain Pink Shirt (Swede) figured out the standard deviation, I just barely finished ahead of the Hacker of the Year. Something doesn't seem right in that calculation, but a few drinks will settle my frustration. | | 7/2008 • 12:24
heim
| i`m just hoping that jonas can teach me that sweet swing! | | 7/2008 • 15:10
Reese
| Shake and Bake | | 7/2008 • 16:28
el diablo
| no, he`s the magic man and i`m el diablo, which is spanish for like...fighting chicken. | |
7/2008 • 13:39
Sullivan
| OK, its crunch time! A little over 2 weeks until GMO and a few things should be settled this week. 1) Lets get a FINAL # on participants by Friday, August 1st as the list below may or may not have changed. This should give us a clear communication with the Pro Shop as to # of Tee Times for each day and where they can put us on each day. If Im not mistaken there is some type of Tourny on Sunday at 3ish or so.
2) What do you guys think about a Mulligan Pot? Here what Im thinking: For the economical price of somewhere between $15-$20 (we can raise/lower this figure after some more input) your team can buy 5 Mulligans to be used on Saturday's game. That money raised can go to the cost of burger/beer or sandwhich/beer or whatever after the rounds on Saturday as we all sit around and tally final scores that day. (Typically that is what has happened for you newbies) If you dont want to put in then you can be on your own for Food/Beer AND you dont get any mulligans for the team. Its up to you. The way I look at Sandwhich =$6 Beer =$5 so after tip and such your looking at $14/15 anyway. So lets chime in on a Final # and tell me what you think about the Mulligan dealio.
| | 7/2008 • 15:11
Reese
| Sounds good Sully
So is Sat a group low score or individual? | |
7/2008 • 15:12
Sull
| In addition, where do you guys stand with lodging for this get together? I am putting up Debrosse/Chase. How about that Two Editors Inn deal? Or are we truly banned from staying there. I was saying to Jonas the other day, I dont see what the big deal is they can just return the empties you guys leave there and put that towards damages. They may even make money on the deal! | | 7/2008 • 15:21
eriksson
| I will put in a call tomorrow..Keep your fingers crossed. | |
7/2008 • 14:17
Sully
| Whats up with the "90 Delta"? | | 7/2008 • 07:58
eriksson
| I might now win the open but I am sure I will have the best mustache... | | 7/2008 • 04:24
Fitz
| I thought that it was the Swede's prediction on what he would shoot day 1. 90 with a lot of Deltas (Double Bogeys). By the way I love the mustache idea. | | 7/2008 • 08:00
Sully
| Thanks, I was loosing sleep at night. | | 7/2008 • 15:19
eriksson
| in abbreviated terms: the % likelihood of all people in the list will show. | |
7/2008 • 00:05
FITCH
| IT IS OFFICIAL.
I am headed home to NY by Sept 22nd. See you all soon. | | 7/2008 • 08:04
eriksson
| where in NY? | | 7/2008 • 13:21
FITCH
| I will be in the Saratoga Springs area. I am opening at State Farm Agency there. It should be a lot of fun and hard work. | | 7/2008 • 16:08
eriksson
| Great News - make sure you move into a house with a guest house, room for a wife and a dog. | |
7/2008 • 15:10
Eriksson
| Gents,
I have been in Sweden for two weeks and might be a little off in the headcount for the official roster. Please let me know if we need to add or drop any name from the list. I also wanted to suggest a mustache requirement for this years open. Any thoughts us all playing with a mustache this year?

HOLE IN ONE

Eder
| JEG...you saw the cart girl doing what? PP, as in pee-pee...haha! | | 7/2008 • 17:08
Eder
| I'll live. I think it's a little hair-line fracture. I'm gonna play a little tennis on it today and see how it feels. As long as I don't whack my racket into my leg, I should be fine.
As for Swede's 'stash requirement...I'm up for it. | |
7/2008 • 09:07
Sully
| Hi, I was the douche who left the "smack talking" post. | | 7/2008 • 09:22
Eder
| Sully and Mr. A-Hole in One...Let me know when you guys are gonna play.
I was thinking of withdrawing from this tourny, as I believe I may have re-fractured my leg a bit playing tennis this summer (I broke it four years ago), but I'm a gammer! | | 7/2008 • 12:11
HOLE IN ONE
| did you really Eder? That was a CRAZY day... | | 7/2008 • 08:05
Sully
| Whenever your ready HOLE. Im playing in a tourny today at Crown Pointe in Springfield. Reppin' Okemo with some other co workers. Played LSCC last sunday in the rain. Sorry didnt call - kind of last minute. We'll hook up. Eder you in for a few rounds? | | 7/2008 • 08:31
HOLE IN ONE
| lolololololololo | | 7/2008 • 19:33
HOLE IN ONE
| When we playing sullivan? | | 7/2008 • 20:39
Reese
| Sully..got some advice when you play with Hole in One....
"Swipe the Leg"
You, me and CE will have a better chance of winning this thing.. | |
7/2008 • 08:49
Eder
| There isn't a ton of room in my house, but if anyone needs to stay there, it's not a problem. Perhaps we should be in touch with the new Alumni Director...he's a good guy and maybe he can pull some strings and get the Two Editor's Inn for us (or a floor on campus). | |
7/2008 • 00:59
Fitz
| Who's the douche not leaving their name? This is an open forum but if your gonna play the game, leave yo' name. | |
7/2008 • 15:45
Rief
| Good turn out! Looks like the group is carrying on well despite Fitz leaving the country. I unfortunatley will not be able to attend due to a scheduling conflict. I just wanted to wish everyone good luck. This tourny remains my favorite of the summer and I look foward to playing in 09'. | |
7/2008 • 07:32
| Where is all the smack talking? | | 7/2008 • 00:57
Fitz
| Uh, no 2 editors. Since we evidently left it in disarray last year and "disturbed" the "former-future" women's soccer coach, we are out. . . Eder's? | | 7/2008 • 08:23
heim
| any chance that would have changed with a new president on board? | | 7/2008 • 11:15
| have any lodging arrangements been made or are we all on our own for this? has anyone checked to see if they`d let us stay at the two editors inn again this year? | |
7/2008 • 07:28
| Reese your not on fire anymore! | |
7/2008 • 19:59
Reese
| Another f in 100! Its not good when you hook your Wedge, is it?? | | 7/2008 • 07:43
HOLE IN ONE
| Hozzle rockets are not fun either... | | 7/2008 • 08:51
heim
| its a little bit easier to slice the wedge than it is the putter, but its doable.
ryan, if you wanna get out to get a practice round in one of these days, let me know. | | 7/2008 • 12:48
Reese
| No doubt heim..thought u were up in Boston though.? If your in NJ well get some rounds in. Heck well drive up to Vermont together too.. | | 7/2008 • 13:23
heim
| yeah, i moved back to jersey in october, bought a condo in island heights so i`m not too far away from you. send me an email at heimchris@hotmail.com or give me a call at 732 232 7310 and we can work something out. we can carpool up to the open too if you want. i may just have to make a quick stop one of the ways at my brothers but he`s right off the northway in malta (maybe 2 minutes off the exit). i`m still trying to talk him into playing but i don`t think he`ll be able to that weekend either. | | 7/2008 • 13:30
Reese
| Sounds good Heim ..I will be in touch... | |
7/2008 • 03:47
Fitz
| This is great! You guys are kickin' ass this year! I love it. A month before the event and a ton of guys are committed. It is great. Good work boys | |
7/2008 • 12:51
Reese
| Mr Chuck McGrath is on the fence he may need to be pushed a little!!
He wants to make sure Jon G will sell him a bottle of Vodka from his secret inventory!! | | 7/2008 • 08:30
HOLE IN ONE
| LOLOLOL Holly shit, I forgot about that stash!! | |
7/2008 • 10:37
HOLE IN ONE
| Can we get a current count/roster posted soon. Just wondering if we need more tee times... | |
7/2008 • 21:49
HOLE IN ONE
| Looks like we have another!
Van Allen | | 7/2008 • 12:04
Mr. Joy

Reese

7/2008 • 07:24
Sully
| Fitzy, thanks for the Vid, it truly was a classic!
Reese your on fire! | | 7/2008 • 15:51
Eder
| I'm gonna go on record and say that my boy, Reese (a native of NJ) is the favorite to beat the Swede and Mr. Hole in One. | | 7/2008 • 16:38
Reese
| Thanks Gents..
Although I must admit I' m like a gambler only telling about my winnings.
I did shoot a 101 on the easiest course in Jersey last week.
Regardless this weekend looks like a kick ass time. Still trying to convince Kell its a Boys weekend. Otherwise I may be crashing up at Jonas Mansion with the wife. | | 7/2008 • 21:51
HOLE IN ONE
| Eder you gonna root for NJ over BOGUE 2 EAST?!!?? What the F&*O()$$$K!! :) | |
7/2008 • 00:18
HOLE IN ONE
| Eder, lets get a few rounds in before The Event. Give a call, peace out. | | 7/2008 • 09:32
Eder
| JEG...sounds good. | |
7/2008 • 23:46
HOLE IN ONE
| Play LSCCC today. Course is in GREAT shape. Greens were rolling. Get ready! | | 7/2008 • 08:11
heim
| lakewood can be challenging especially since...its in lakewood!! but its over by georgian court college so its a little better in that area. mickey mantle used to have a house right on the course by the 12th.
i`ll ask joel again if he can make it but he works on saturdays i think. i was trying to get jon to come up with me but i think he and mel have something else they have to do that weekend so he`s still TBD. | | 7/2008 • 07:54
heim
| is the blue heron public or private? i think lakewood cc is a little easier than the blue oyster. | | 7/2008 • 16:42
Reese
| Heim..its called the Blue Heron Pines.
Lakewood may be a bit tougher due to the ......hazzards
Hows Joel looking for GMO | | 7/2008 • 14:17
Sully
| Mulligans Heim? | | 7/2008 • 14:48
heim
| well, took one off the first tee since i lost my first shot. besides that, nope. took penalty strokes and everything. i think i had a 5 pars, 2 bogeys, and 2 doubles on the back nine. i actually made a few longer puts as well. i need to get in a couple more rounds before the big event. i have to beat bojan this year after he finished ahead of me on a technicality last year. | | 7/2008 • 16:42
Reese
| 84 at the Blue Heron @ the Jersey Shore
| | 7/2008 • 23:09
Eder
| You guys talk so much shit about how well you've been playing lately. Well, I still suck! ...but, I'm looking forward to the big event. I can't wait! | | 7/2008 • 11:27
heim
| finally got out for the first round of the year. i`ll take a 102 for not playing since last year. | |
7/2008 • 07:19
Fitz
| What is up boys? Hot as hell here in Roma. Playing on Saturday. What is the total number? | |
6/2008 • 07:39
Fitz
| Just found a video from year 1. So fricking funny, it involves year one's hacker and our friend the beer cart girl. . . so hilarious. . . | | 6/2008 • 08:18
Eder
| Fitz...was that the sex tape that you found? To quote Verne Troyer (Mini-Me), Tommy Lee and Paris Hilton..."someone stole it from my house". | | 6/2008 • 12:20
