It Ain't Love Until the Fat Kid is on the Wing
by Chip Amour
Cupid is in Season! To most, this means chocolates, cards and over priced wine at a restaurant neither of you enjoy. It is the season of Mel Torme, lingerie, and secluded weekends, hopefully not alone. At Poplar Creek, however, things are always a bit different. Let me try to explain.
Our course is along the path of the Pacific Flyway, an aviary superhighway which begins in Canada and concludes in Mexico. It provides game birds an unmolested journey south where, of course, they have no such rules. Cupid also enjoyed the use of this route, shooting his arrows of amour, while making his rounds. It appears avid hunters CDub and Bryan "Death to Flying Things" Ungaretti noticed the fat kid circling the above the second hole. "There's no way we were trying to hit him. We were only sending up shots to warn him of the electrical lines, said Craig, besides, he was in season!"
The chubby pilot crashed landed on number three where "Blue Lou" Badet happened to be filling the lake with Titliests. Lou chased the poor boy with swinging wildly with his five. "That kid was never safer, said onlooker Dave McNeilly, everyone knows Lou can't hit a five iron."
Cupid flew in a panic and soared over the sixth hole where he was spotted by Dave Gluck. Technically, Dave was correct, he was an armed UFO flying in restricted airspace, but don't you think calling in the Navy F16's was a bit of overkill?
The stressed archer grounded with a thud near the eighth green. He then encountered the ecology-minded Bill Feeley who wanted to know if his diapers were biodegradable and if his arrows were lead tipped? The only member to show the little fellow any love at all was John Jurgens. John ripped open his shirt exposing a tattooed target on his chest and said, "take your best shot kid, but watch the hair." John then took him to the bar to meet Mel. They walked.
ps. Cupid got even. He shot Dave Gluck with a special arrow that made him fall in love with the outdated Nike Sumo Driver.
