Dude Perfect Stereotypical Cosmo Golfers? Which one is you?
Hole by Hole Tracking of Rusty, Sloaner and Batman as they battle their nerves culminating in Sloaners Birdie on the 18th to force a Playoff.
Judicial Recount Ordered as the numbers just didn't add up:(
Results from the course showed the two 2-Time Champs tied, but that was in error, but it actually wasn't an error as Founder Sloaner had added up his front 9 at Fairview in error.
Stay tuned to the Cosmo "Believe it Not" update as Founder Sloaner will be hypnotized to see if he can remember what he actually shot.
FSIU recommends to the GPB that all charges against "Horse" be dropped. Recent PGA disqualification cited in the report.
He's BACK, Hulkster Horley who was last seen at the Cosmo in 2009 has confimed he has made enough money fighting fires and is back to rekindle the magic when he finished 2nd after pulling a Sergio (9 shots higher than his previous 3 round average) on the Final Day to hand Hennigar the Jacket!
Secret Pact discovered, last 3 Champs under investigation by a Founders Special Investigation Unit(Lead by Tender and Rusty).
GPB Sloaner expects the report to be submitted by May 15, possible sanctions include:
1) Horse, Doc and Batman will not be permitted to stay in the same Condo;
2) Share the same golf cart or
3) Participate in their pre-Cosmo round unless supervised by another Founder.
Founder Batman who has had his Founder status temporally suspended until the GPB tribunal had these comments: Just cause we have known each other for 35 years, doesnt make us crooks! We decided in 2009 to take Ringo's advice of getting by with a little help from our friends, that has and will always be just moral support. Saying "nice hit well done to your playing partner" is just good etiquette, except if they really do suck. The fact that Doc was in my group when I closed out the 2010 tourney and that he was in Horse's final group last year was just a lucky break for us. Doc offered that "The Founders
play together every year and it hasn't helped Rusty or Tender, maybe those f'ing losers should provide more moral support and spend less time guzzling the Crown!"

2013 NHL Player Pool
If Tiger can make a mistake, so can savvy veterans, examples of what questions the Founders can expect this year?
Classic Steve. But the answer is no. Unfortunately, a player may not improve his ball position due to bodily odors. You may, however, move your ball laterally as far as you need to escape the offending odor. Or you can just wait for a gust of wind to dissipate the hazard. While waiting, it is suggested you ask Steve to improve his diet and stop eating $1 hot dogs at the turn.
I play much better and can actually aim when I use my aiming rods (AKA Fiddle Sticks) off the tee. Do I have to ask my playing partners if they would like to try them out or should I tell them to piss up a rope?
"Fiddle Sticks" are a registered trademark of a JRC Heney, AKA "Horse" and should never be used without the express, written consent of "Horse".
What if I hit a good shot in the direction I aimed, but my ball lands in a bunker or water hazard I didn’t know was there because I didn’t pay attention to the layout of the hole before teeing off?
Oh, not your fault at all. Pull it out of the sand or water and continue the hole like it didn’t happen. How were you supposed to know there was a stream there?
Does it count as kicking my ball onto the fairway if I pretend I didn’t see the ball in the rough and then kind of step on it/trip-kick it out onto the fairway? (Note: I really sell it and pretend to almost fall down.)
I mean, officially that would be a penalty and you would be forever marked a cheater. But, if you really sold it, going the extra mile should count for something, right? That’s just smart golf. You’re not trying if you’re not cheating, etc. No penalty!
I missed a two-foot put because I walked up real fast and hit it without lining the putt up or anything. I’m sure I probably would have made it had I concentrated, or not hit it backhanded or made a "na-na-na-na" sound. So the first one counts as having gone in, right?
Yep.
What’s my score if I had a few beers, followed by CR and Coke and can’t remember what I got on a hole?
It was probably an eight or so, but let’s put you down for a par.
Book it again Dano Hole in one, number 2?

Yes Golf Fans, it's less than a week to go before we invade the pristine fairways of NN and Chateau.
Now that we know that the Canucks are in the Finals, it took several frantic calls to the NHL head office to ensure we won't miss a minute of action during our stay. Supertramp was talked into "Giving a Little Bit", so they cancelled their June 1 date at Rogers Arena to make way for game 1. With game 2 originally scheduled for Friday until they found out that is our double round and we would miss most of the contest, the NHL delayed to Saturday where we will be able to play the Final Round, toast the winner and then get primed for game 2 in our well appointed Media Room. Unfortunately with the White carpet, no Red wine allowed:(

Time after time -
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face -
But I've come through
Batman is the champion - my friends
Tender will keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls -
My Ace brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
-
I thank you all -
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
I consider it a challenge before the whole Cosmo race -
That I didn’t lose -
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

Advice from Lou Tice:
When you subject yourself over and over again to painful, angry
memories, eventually your system begins to break down.
The poison of the not forgiven hurt and anger attacks you from the
inside out.
Advice from Richard Dougherty:
So... no more driver, no more fairway wood, not going to use my 3 or 4 iron and if I am within 80 yds of the green I will be putting as I will be leaving all wedges at home. I am also going to wear a brace for tennis elbow on my left arm but it will have a tack because I discovered while golfing in Quesnel before Jamie's 50th that if my left arm hurts so much I can't close my hand I golf much better.
COSMO RETRO SHOT: Was it really 3 years ago when Doc let a sure fire win slip between his quivering fingers? Yes it was and as we head back to Whistler the scene of the crime, take a moment to reflect on how the 2007 events has changed your life forever?
He's #2512 (out of 6589), give it up for Tender!

It all came down to a slippery right to left 8 footer for the victory and like a true Champion, "Harry" lagged it into the heart of the cup in front of a hushed audience of 14 COSMO faithful. Later on at a Osoyoos establishment, the Champ is toasted by a local who is joined by 2 time Champ Sloaner and 3 time Champ Oli!
A site dedicated to the Cosmo Golf Tour, a tradition of golf excellence in the interior of British Columbia since 1995.
Cosmo, the early years.
The concept was simple at first, 4 friends from Quesnel BC playing 3 rounds of Golf at some of the finest courses Canada has to offer. Then in 1996, a jacket was introduced as the "Trophy" to which the competitors would aspire to. The first winner of the Green Jacket who defeated a stellar field of 7 others was "Batman" (First on Left in 1996 picture from Predator Ridge). As "Batman's" story of victory against the magnificent 7 grew, so did the field and the popularity of the event. Now in its 16th year, the legend continues to evolve. A yearly highlight is the pre-tournament predictions (trash talking), see the write-up page for more.
A Cosmo staple, the 19th hole.

All records from the 1998 event were lost after it was rumuored that the winner of the jacket that year may have cheated. For more info on the tournament field, course played and Champs, browse the pages.
