SIGN UP, YOU COWARDS! (Or I'll Bite!)

If you know you are coming to the Golf Tourney, or if you have a high probability of coming, please sign up on the form (Click on the title of this post, or the line below the photo of Guido the Pomeranian, or the photo of Coach Groves to take you there.) Money is not yet required, and you can lock in your 20% off last year's rate by signing up now! No Mafia members, Shot Putters or Hammer Throwers will appear on your doorstep if you later back out! The fee for the weekend will be strictly applied by the sign up on the web form. Only those signed up by 12/31/08 will reap the $30 savings offered. (Even Clark!) This will help us figure out our needs for Hotel rooms, hole-in-one prize insurance, gift bag goodies, t-shirt requirements... Clark, Harry Smith and I will be forever grateful (well at least 10 minutes or so anyway). My unofficial count has around eight confirmed, sixteen probably committed golfers (maybe I should be committed for taking this on) and nineteen possibly interested golfers. That is more than double last year's total, but short of our goal. I know its early, but I refuse to let this event die, as we had to invariably discuss last year.

All of you can help simply by talking to another track alum who doesn't know about us. You can also help by participating on and visiting this web site often. Every link and hit adds to our footprint in the ether of the internet. We are starting to get hits from all over as people google things like "steeplechase" and "Heather Carmichael" only barely mentioned on this site. Stop by daily if only to view Calvin and Hobbes. All monies so far spent have been donated by other generous track alums and myself and all future donations are put 100% toward The Coach Groves Scholarship or for the betterment of The Coach Groves Tournament and Reunion event. Send us even a small amount and you will be richly rewarded. All web site operating costs are being donated by me. (Open those "alligator arms" as Clark would say.)

Addendum: A web site hit from Chappaqua NY today!!! Could it be an ex-POTUS or current Senator not invited to be a vice-POTUS by B. H. Obama???
