Good afternoon Gents:
I hope your summer is off to a great start. It is less than one month away from the D-Cup
and, therefore, it is time to provide a few details as well as announce the
teams for this year.
A few things that are different than years past:
- Since the location is very close to home for many, there will be no rooms reserved on Saturday night. After the round, we will have our dinner and closing prize party and then this year’s events will be over. If you do want a room, the resort will extend a special rate to you. Please contact them soon if you plan on staying that night.
- As I announced in the initial email, we will be adding Peter and Hans, making an 11th player for each team. The plan is for them to join Friday afternoon’s two-man team round along with the team captains. Peter and Hans will then play out the rest of the event with us.
- We have one new player this year. Matt Fankhauser’s son is leaving on his mission not long after the Cup so, their family decided to take one last trip together which ended up being in conflict with the Cup. Matt’s son will be reporting to the MTC in Aug and will be serving in the Minneapolis Minnesota Mission. Our new player, Mark Smith, is a friend of Aaron’s and spent a few years living in Northern Virginia. Mark now lives in the Alpine area.
Team Terry
- Bob Woods – When he is not closing deals or developing properties with world-renown golf legends, Bob can often be found making birdies.
- Brent Pulver – We all know this is the strongest 14 handicapper you’ll ever meet. He has a patented bump-and-run move and putts like the greens are made of glass.
- Gregg Roseborough – Rosie is a good person to have on your team as long as you enjoy short bald people who dress like they’re 23.
- Craig Walker – Craig returns after a few years away and is ready to electrify us with his strong play.
- Adam Sollis – He runs, he swims, he putts, he occasionally hits a fairway.
- Mark Smith – He is the great unknown; a low handicapper who wears a mustache 90% of the year…unfortunately.
- Aaron Walker – Named Most Improved Player last year, he’s loud, brash and wears a white belt better than a new Tae-Kwon-Do student.
- Tim Shumway – A regular life saver this one – capable of pulling even the lowest performing partner out of the rut and into the winner’s circle.
- Rocky Butler – Rocky loves football, golf and never tires of hearing Bullwinkle jokes. You all should feel comfortable telling him Rocky & Bullwinkle jokes all weekend.
- Mike Allen – The man straightens teeth for a living and is on the quest to straighten out his driver.
- Hans Olson – The only person in the group who actually gets paid to talk for a living. Also the sole player in D Cup history to have verifiable crotch rot.
Team Kerry
- Gary Romeril – High school teacher, winning golf coach, Aaron’s voice-volume twin.
- Justin Weidauer – Weeds is a good egg and a long driver – now that he’s living in St. George, he’s been racking up wins in the polygamist tournament circuit all year. Granted, the top prize was a gift card to Walmart.
- Bryant Arnold – Is looking to take the title of “Best White Belt Wearer” away from Aaron this year.
- Jon Tucker – Now a veteran D-Cupper, JT is wondering how to top the Unicorn feat of Teton Springs and gain another advantage over unsuspecting opponents.
- Allen Boldt – The smoothest guy you will ever meet. He’ll sweet talk you with his dulcet tones while shanking you with your own 8 iron.
- Brandon Walker – The man, the myth, the legend. More importantly, the organizer.
- Doug Marx – Annually labeled “most hunted,” though rarely actually caught. I can only say I am glad he’s on my team.
- Eric Mead – A lifetime Platinum member at Marriott once used points to buy his summer home.
- Jeff Buckwalter – Look out for Jeff…once he finds the zone he will put you away. Also, the only member of the D Cup Tribe who knows how to hit a “soft driver” for that 175 shot.
- Travis Heath – Travis is the sole person on this trip who looks weird without a beard.
- Peter Fisher – He knows several of you in a very intimate way and is the one person who could make a dong joke and really know what he is talking about.
