The Odds

(Written by John Prouty)
12:54 - Star Wars Episode 7, The Whiskey Wars
The recently discovered script tells the story of Chewbacca (Willsey), Hans Solo (JP), Luke Skywalker (Karl), and Princess Lea (Marinelli) and their lives after vanquishing the empire. Needless to say, with a lot of time on their hands they have turned to whiskey, copious amounts of beer, and golf in boredom. This version of the epic franchise is definitely rated NC-17. 4 Former Champions. 2 members of the most exciting (I didn't say best) Beer Open Champion team. Their greatest enemy, the dark side of the Force (aka…Jim Beam) 12-1
Team Members:

1:02 - Slicey, Dicey, Oh So Nicey
4 individuals with almost 30 years of Beer Open experience combined, but no titles. This could be their year. They'll need to be straight off the tee, and confident on the greens. Can they put it all together for a moment of glory? The target is officially on their back. 2-5

1:10 - Just Don't Mention RVP
3 Former champions and a hockey player with no ACLs. Strong team with tremendous potential, but questions abound. What if Lipski shows up? What if they wait to use Goose's drive for the 18th tee? What if the Arsenal-Man U bitch fest starts on the first hole? Will Todd and Darren finally hook up? Will they invite Goose to join? The intrigue is high, but his team seems way too much like England 2002 to win. 20-1

1:18 - You Really Didn't Have Anything Better To Do?
These guys just keep coming back every year. It must be the booze, cause it's certainly not the quality of golf. A couple ringers, a couple not-ringers. Invention is supposedly 98% perspiration and 2% innovation….or something like that anyway. Regardless, we all know that perspiration means nothing in the Beer Open, it's all about being able to handle your booze. 100-1

1:20 - Welcome to the Family
3 former champions and a future Collins brother-in-law. Not sure if sister Sizzler approved this junket, but the future bro needs to watch out for flying clubs, verbal beat downs, and several pre-flop all in moments (with 6-4 off suit). As a bonus DelAguila will be there to question his manhood the entire round. Worst case - team brawl on the 15th green, Best case - Burns keeps the peace (bring a gun) and guides this team to glory. 5-1
