Beer Open 2014

(Written by John Prouty)
12:42 - The Sizzlers

Pat Collins
George Aliaga
Bill Brumett
Pat Kleszynski

Not sure how we feel about the Sizz putting together his own group. A
2-time champion and all around rabble rouser hand picking his
teammates is a recipe for victory and/or trouble. A note to
George/Bill/Pat K - if things start going poorly watch out for flying
clubs.

Odds 10-1

12:50 - Three Golfers and Beh

Beh Afshar
Bubba Zenton
Rich Kenny
Greg Bradely

This surly group of Beer Open regulars have swapped out Wallin hoping
to finally get over the hump. After nearly taking the 10th annual and
a few other top 3 finishes, these old-timers are looking to go the
lowest. God help us if they do. I thought it was strange when they
asked if the beer cart would have a pole attached to it, but after
thinking about it I understand they are just tryng to kill 2 birds
with one golf ball.

Odds 15-1

12:58 - The Wheel

Rich Puntil
Bryan O'Malley
James scibek
Sam Scibek

Scibek has returned after a hiatus and brought his offspring plus a
couple other ringers. Anyone who has played PLO8 with our dear friend
James knows that he is a force to be reckoned with. Will this be true
in the beer open? Let's just say he's hoping for a 2 or 3 on 5th
street.

Odds 5-1

1:06 - We Have Glaucoma

Karl Krewenka
Mark Menacho
Steve Dalise
Craig Gantar

Menacho emailed me 6 times to let me know that he was in for the Beer
Open. Kind of says it all right there. 3 Former champs in this group
plus a newbie. If somebody needs a smoke during the round, I'd try to
find this group. Could be sneaky good.

Odds 20-1

1:14 - I Lost my Ringer

Paul DelAguila
Pete Schrader
Rob Schrader
Darren Tait

DT couldn't get the first ever female participant (who was the long
drive champion as well) in the Beer Open to return, so he'll have to
settle with the guy who spends the most time in front of the mirror
(DelAguila). The Schrader brothers are first timers and supposedly can
play. Hopefully they don't walk out after the first 9.

Odds 15 -1

1:22 - Polly Pockets

Chris Prouty
Mike Donlin
Jerry Brankin
Todd Weiss

Lots to be said about this group. 3 Fenwick grads. Between the 4 they
have fathered 12 children (that they know of) and 10 of those are
girls. So lots of discussion about Mr. Ludwig, JUG, and the
unbelievable stress of raising teenage girls. These guys can play a
little golf too, so this may be the year that Chris Prouty finally
opens his account in the Beer Open. Also worth mentioning that Abou
Diaby was slated to play in this group, but apparantly the grafting of
Fred Taylor's hamstring onto your own is a BAD idea.

Odds 2-1

1:30 - Cart Girl Love Affair

Kevin Sarsany
Phil Lotsoff
Tom Canepa
Dave Bennett

Tom, hope you are ready to hear what it's like to be 48, never
married, and a member of match.com, okcupid, eHarmony, itsjustlunch,
tinder, j-date, and christian mingle at the same time. Variety is the
slice of life. If one of you could remind Bennett that the cart girl
is paid to be out there and did not just roll out to fall in love with
him that would be great. Oh and KSar can play, like really play. Very
dangerous group.

Odds 2-5

1:38 - Blurred Lines

Mike Wysockey
John Prouty
Dave Willsey
Chris Marzec

I'm not sure what to say except that Marzac will need to play
exceptional for the last 6 holes. Has he ever carried 3 200+ pound
guys full of whiskey and beer before? Well Saturday he'll get to find
out if he can.

Odds 15-1

1:46 - The Champs

Matt Pecak
Mike Pecak
Chris Marinelli
Mike Nagle

These guys played admirably last year on a pretty tough track. A well
deserved victory. But as we all know, it's tougher to repeat in the
Beer Open than it is in the NFL. I'm not feeling it.

Odds 100-1
