I tell this story many times and some think that it may even be a mythical legend falsely created by many beer drinking hockey players after league games, but I assure you this story is true.
As I was sitting in the office of my old hockey shop working on an adult league schedule I read an email from Scott Anderson. it basically stated, "It sucks that we don't play hockey the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Everyone is off the next day so we could socialize later into the night. A tournament of some kind would be cool."
And so, the 3 on 3 Turkey Tourney was born from the loins of myself & Anderson the Great Hockey Idea Pioneer of the Century.
That being said, who better to come up with a Golf / Hockey outing for all adult players in the Des Moines area? Once again, Anderson outdoes himself and has created BLOGDAM (Beer Leaguers of Greater Des Moines Annual Mulliganvitation ).
"But Joe, I don't play golf" is what some may be saying. I ask, does it really matter? Most of you don't play hockey well, yet you still go out and make believe you are Ovechkin on a good day. This event is about what Scott & I believe that our leagues should be.....friends doing stuff together. If you can walk, drive a golf cart & drink beer then you MUST attend this event.
The event is a Scramble format which means you can be a terrible golfer (or never even have golfed before) because your teammates will carry you just like they do during your poor defensive play on the ice.
Saturday, October 2nd.
For $50 you get:
18 holes of golf with Cart
Lunch after the Outing (turkey, roast beef, or ham sandwich - chips - cookie)
2 drink tickets during the outing
Keg beer (Keg will be tapped an hour prior to tee time outside. After your round it will be waiting for you in the clubhouse). Yeah, that kicks some butt.
Raffle entry for any proceeds made from the outing.

I know this Blog entry did not do the details of this event any justice. There is so much more to know that you need to see Scott's detailed entry here:
Events like the 3 on 3 tourney, clinics, camps, leagues, Bucs Games & this Golf Outing do not happen without hard work, ideas & those that put them together. But in order for these events to be successful, we NEED players to actually participate.
Hope to see EVERYONE there!
