Beer Open 2024

Test Test

(Written by Chris Prouty)

1150a - Sex in the Bathroom
Chris Marinelli, Mike Marinelli, Jay Gelfo-Klein, Brandon Billbey
The no shirts no problem crew. Listed odds for victory are generous. The odds of one of them having sex in the bathroom on Saturday? 100%
Odds 113-1

Noon - Vowels and Vowels
Karl Krewenka, Fphil De Craene, Ricardo Ciaccio, Mitch Boryszewski
Pair of BO rookies in this crew. One of them played D3 college golf. Combine that with Karl's putting and Fphil's improved game? These boys are amongst the favorites.
Odds 9-4

1210p - Big Willy Energy
Craig Gantar, Jerry Brankin, Will Vanalsburg, Jason Sorce
The returning champs had to swap out a wheel for their defense. Big Off The Tee Beav always gives a team a chance, but repeating has only been done once (twice? whatever). A loss this year will give Goose the angst he needs for next year's MBOGA campaign.
Odds 3-1

1220p - Darrens Deserters
Darren Tait, Todd Weiss, The Sizzler, Patrick Kleszynski
What is a Beer Open without some hurt feelings over pairings? This group wanted to be together. Needed to be together. Had other promises been made before they got all swoon-y with each other? Three sides to every story. This year's recipient of the dreaded Favorites tag. I would watch your six boys....
Odds 2-1

1230p - Anger is an Energy
Tom Melzl, Lee Erwin, Eric Burns, German Man
We have never allowed an anonymous entry in the BO before. But the anger & hurt are real and we acquiesced. Will this group be more interested in hitting into the group in front of them then focused on victory?
Odds 5-1

1240p - The Holiest of Holies
John Prouty, Brad Hunter, Mark Menacho, Mike Cooney
Speaking of BO rookies, check out the big head on Brad! Hunter is a player and he really likes winning. Got a big stick of his own, combined with JP's approach shots and green game + some timely shots from Cooney? I see this group leading at the turn with a big number. 4 under? 5 under? Better? But Menacho is bringing out his super sized weed charcuterie board from his 50th. That will... have an effect on the back side score.
Odds 5-2

1250p - Only Sacs That Matter
Dave Willsey, Tom Canepa, Jim Scibek, Chris Prouty
A veteran BO group here. 50+ years at least and several trophies. Willsey owns the Greatest Shot in BO history (it was amazing). Teeing off last, they are in the cat bird seat and on the Organizer's home course. Just another example of the deck being stacked against the field? Finger's crossed, but.... feels like a first loser place finish.
Odds 9-2
