BATTLE AT THE BRIDGES 2008

I am also very honored to be selected to serve as the Gold team captain for this years Gold and Blue cup match. I expect this year to be one of the most challenging matches for our Gold team in recent history. The Bridges GC seems to have been selected as the Blue team captain’s preference. Captain, Joe Cantu , will as always, be ready to take on all competitors and will be of assistance to his fellow Blue team with some course knowledge that no one else has. As this is Joe’s “home course”, he will be expected to play far beyond the level in his previous ventures in the past Gold and Blue matches, or risk embarrassment. For this reason, the Gold team will re-double our efforts to be ready to take away this cup from the Blue team. We will be ready for all comers and we will bring the Gold and Blue cup back where it belongs, in the hands of GOLD.

BATTLE AT THE BRIDGES 2008

I am honored to accept the responsibility of serving as Captain of the 2008 Blue Squad.  My knowledge of the course, enthusiasm for the competition,
familiarity with the Blue Squad's storied history and talent, should enable me to lead our team to victory and retain the always cherished Blue and Gold
Cup.  While I respectfully acknowledge the skills of The Yellow Team and Captain Flint, we will battle to the last shot of each match and our never-say-die
attitude will surely prevail.  May the best team win.

The 2003 CBI tournament was sweeter than ever.  Ever checking the leader board after each hole made us that much more determined to catch Team Batson as we rolled through the back nine.  I still can't believe Richard Hainline's 114 yard wedge to the 18th green to within 30" of the cup.  The heart and soul of our Team had to be John Dakin, who converted four unbelievable birdie putts and executed three drives which resulted in par, birdie, par on those respective holes.  Thanks to all for another great tournament!

I am deeply honored to accept the invitation to captain the victorious Gold team.  While I know it will be a challenge to follow in  Dr. Z's path, I am certain that my teammates can still kick some Blue butt and can even the lifetime series score.  We are not afraid of stone cold Bob Anderson or anyone else on the losing Blue team.

I have enthusiastically accepted the honor of Captain for the 2003 Blue and Gold Cup.  I will be developing a strategy to return the Championship to the Blue team and to Northern California.  Good luck Gold and bring your "A" game next year!!

I must say that I am really disgusted at the amateur hack job that turned the webpage into Gold.  With Blue still commanding a 4-3 career lead, I would think Mr. Z could show a little more respect.  To ensure the Blue career dominance holds, I am asking Mr. Bob Anderson to Captain our squad next year.  The bald pate and the stone-cold glare will bring the focus and leadership I am looking for.  Stone-Cold, I look forward to your acceptance.

My review of the various articles, results, and pictures included in the CBTG website reminded my of the great time Gary Strachn and I had with all participants at this year's events.   I felt that my game on Saturday was as outstanding as my disgusting showing at the Blue & Gold Cup was despicable.

My apologies go out to Curtis Montgomery for not providing him with any kind of a match on Friday at the grueling Poppy Ridge course.  I would also like to apologize to Mr. Greg Clark for my conspicuous absence at the post party held at his lovely residence.  Although my listed excuse was that the weather was too hot to stay in any longer, the truth was that I needed to nurse my self pity and embarrassment back at the Marriott Hotel.

I was however, much prouder of my contributions on Saturday to Tom Doyle, Mark Russell, and Gary Strachn in the CBI tourney.  Although it's not on the scorecard, our 4 under par performance was saved by at least a half dozen "long snake" putts made by me to save par or make birdie. 

Thanks to you, Greg, Mary, Patrick, Matt and Kevin for keeping the event running strong year after year.
