We should totally take a group photo.

And we can all

smile just like this!

That’s a fine idea.

Look at that bag,

Dave.

I know. It’s mesmerizin

g.

Guys! Check out my hair. We should all totally wear our hair like this in the

group photo.

I cannot take my

eyes off this damn bag!

What the hell is Dave

looking at?

Good point, Jim. I don’t think we’re going to be able to stand next to each

other in the photo either what with both of us having the same color hats

and all. That’s a shame.Hmph.

Lou’s hair looks completely

ridiculous. I am not taking my hat off for the photo.

After a dismal 1-3-0 showing in 2008, Bishop ended up winning the 2008 PWAEGL Championship with teammate Dave Farrar. 2009’s RC was another lack-luster performance. Can Bishop shake off the demons for the 2010 cup?

Course Etiquette

Dubbs’ DogmaSlow Play: How to Play Fast Enough to Avoid Getting Thrown Off the Course

In and around the fairway• Play ready golf. You should be ready to hit immediately after the person hitting before

you. This means you should be preparing to hit your shot while the person hitting before you is getting ready to hit his.

On and around the green• Place your bag or park your cart in a location that allows for a quick exit to the next tee.• Play out of turn when ready to help speed play along.• Help out your partner or opponents that need a trap raked or bag moved.• Place your ball down on the green immediately after another putts.• Line up the putt when others are putting so that you just walk up and hit it when it’s

your turn.• Finish putts – continue putting until you hole out whenever possible.• Walk quickly.

In general• Close gaps as they open in front of you. Even if the group behind you is nowhere in

sight, you should continue to push to stay with the group in front of you.

Trajcevski Tips: Beer Cart Girl Etiquette

When talking to cart girls, always:1. Make eye contact. The eyes are the first thing you should look at, not the

last. You know who you are.2. Offer pleasantries. It's always nice to hear, "Hi there, how are you doing

today?" It makes the cart girl feel more like a human and less like a cooler with breasts.

3. Buy something. Even a bottle of water or peanut butter crackers makes a difference to their inventory and by extension their salesmanship and by extension their good standing with their manager.

4. Remember their names. Yep, that’s the same girl you saw 9 holes ago. If you're going to ask them to visit your hotel room, it's the least you can do.

5. Tip. Think of them as waitresses on wheels--except they put up with a lot more petting, squeezing and bad jokes. A few dollars is always welcome.

And please, please don't:1. Pretend you don't see them. If you're not hungry or thirsty, a simple,

"We're good, thanks," is a polite form of rejection.2. Give them sugary pet names. "Baby," "Dollface," "Sweetheart"--you're

not Humphrey Bogart, and they're not your moll.3. Ask for their phone number, e-mail address or what time they get

off. This is especially true if you're more than 10 years north of us – excluding yours truly of course. They're here to mix drinks, get some sun and make some cash--not meet their soul mate, or bed mate.

4. Make them wait Time is money. They shouldn't have to sit there while your group putts out/tees off before you tell them you don't want anything.

5. Try to buy them drinks from their own cart. Leave that to me.
