A new year has officially begun!

Well the Squatter Invitational was a bit of a bust, thanks to the nice SPRING weather we are having, however there were 8 real troopers who braved the elements to get a 9 hole round in. "Crazy" some may say....."dedicated" a squatter would say. Hats off and parkas and scarves on for those frigid swingers: Ciecer, Joyce, Karen, Gail, Cindy O., Lisa, Chris(a new squatter!) and DJ. We would like to welcome all of our new Squatters: Peggy, Wendy, Judy, Janice, Chris and Angel! The season will be off in full swing next Tuesday, hopefully we will be blessed with more appropriate golf weather! See you next week!

It's all about history...so the story begins.

Ok, I promised some history on this all too good to be true Golf League, A.K.A the "Conesus Squatters" so here it goes. Golf season 2009 was was one for the record books; we assembled 14 female golfers(some of which had NEVER golfed before!) on Tuesday nights to learn, play and enjoy the game of golf (and maybe drink a couple of beers). Anywho, the format we used was pretty basic: an easy handicapped system, some golf clubs, some tees (more properly known as "STICKS") a few golf balls, a few OOO OOO's (I'll explain later) and lot's of laughs! We were a new league without a whole lot of direction but with a definite mission to improve our skills, learn the game of golf, but still have fun! Our budget was low, so we sold 50/50 tickets to our league and to the Tuesday night mens league in an effort to raise some funds to help with our future plans, including our banquet, some merchandise designed especially for the "Squatters" and our Sadie Hawkins Tournament.

Throughout the season our golf skills grew and we grew on our counter parts.......THE MEN, so for them helping out with our raffles every week and putting up with our less than optimal golf etiquette, we hosted the 1st annual Sadie Hawkins Tournament. WOW! What an event, fully equipped with our own Squatter rules and scoring system. Prizes were graciously and appropriately awarded to the stars of the year, the tournament, and the "SCHWETTIEST" ! I believe we all enjoyed the event and our looking forward to the 2nd annual this year, just not sure what we'all will be wearin.

This gives a very, very brief summary and history of our league. As this year progresses, we'll try to keep postings and events updated as they happen. Be sure to stay tuned, as you never can tell what may happen on a Tuesday night in beautiful downtown Conesus!


OOO OOO definition: A form of vocal applause used by a Conesus Squatter to signify their praise for another Squatter who has accomplished something remarkable! May not always be appreciated by fellow (male) golfers, so should be used sparingly and with low volume when possible.
