Friday September 19th Paris men’s golf results and other stuff...

Well, apparently it does rain in Burford as last week's championship match between Gerry Hoogstraten and Doug Sinclair was postponed and will have to be played Friday September 26th. Stay tuned for the exciting finish of Friday men's golf in next week’s paper.

I would like to wish my little buddy Al Oldroyd a happy 60th, he doesn't look or act like it, good for you Al. Sandy and Ron told me that you were their favourite. Actually, who’s kidding who Al is everyone’s favourite…love ya buddy hope you had a great birthday!

Congratulations to Dino Kitchen and his beautiful wife Vicky on their first grandchild, Miss Ivy.  When asked how you get such a beautiful grandchild Dino not missing a beat said it starts with a beautiful wife and then a beautiful daughter and voila... the beautiful Miss Ivy, and you can't argue with that logic.

A welcome back to Paul Barber and Cousin Dawn from their tour of the homeland, Scotland the brave. When I asked if he kissed the Blarney Stone Paul replied, “twice for good measure”. Cousin Dawn was excited about her brush with greatness meeting Sean Connery at the local pub, Paul didn't have the heart to tell her that 007 passed away 5 years ago. That's good thinking Paul!!

Jimmy Fowler got together with his old car club buddies from the ‘70s ... Billy Tough, Donnie Willson, and Del Stuart (no relation), to reminisce about the old car club out at the S curves. Del had a ‘73 Dodge Dart which he still owns and is in immaculate shape, Toughie had a ‘67 R/T 440 Coronet that he sold but now in his retirement he just purchased his dream car, a ‘67 GTX and it looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Jimmy Fowler had his ‘69 Shelby GTX 500 that he lost in a card game and Donnie Willson drove his mother's ‘63 Rambler. Cool cats in the ‘70s now cool dudes in their 70s. 

This is Scoop Stewart signing off. Always a pleasure!
