In the spirit of the start of the NCAA tournament, we are going to have a small (maybe big) corn hole tournament this Saturday followed by some beers at some local Portero Hill/Mission watering holes. Teams will be selected around 2:30 with the start of the tournament shortly after that.
Feel free to bring anyone you like including the ladies.
They play softball on Saturdays at Jackson Square Park so we will likely be tucked behind one of the backstops.
Please send me an email to let me know if you are coming and how many will accompany you.
See you Saturday

Old Bears Trip: Christmas in June
NOTE: The Bandon Dunes trip will not be happening this year due to poor planning. An alternative trip will be emailed out in the next week
When: Saturday, June 18th (7:00 am) through Wednesday, June 22nd (8:00 pm)
Where: La Quinta Resort & Club
Who: You
How much (est.): $750 - this includes everything food, golf, gas, drinks, lodging, gambling, etc.
We have booked 3 rooms at the La Quinta Resort and Club for 3 nights (June 19th through June 22nd). The rooms are $205 a night which includes two people per room and UNLIMITED golf with a cart! We plan on leaving on Saturday to head down towards Palm Springs. Once we have the team assembled, we will meet a few times to discuss logistics including the plan for Saturday night (Joshua Tree?). We can start playing golf on Sunday at noon which is the day we will check in.
La Quinta has 5 courses and it will not be crowded because A) it will be pretty damn hot and B) it will be during the week.
There are currently three commitments (J, Kev and me). Please let me know if you plan on attending by January 15th as we want to make tee times and acquire more rooms if needed.
Happy Holidays

P.S. Did I mention unlimited golf at a Waldorf Astoria resort and the estimated cost for the entire trip is $750!?

Old Bears Golf Competition: A Whiskey Winter
When: This Sunday - 11:04 and 11:12
Where: Palo Alto Muni
What: A competitive round of "The Old Bear"
Buy In: $5
Golf Round: $42
Who: Me and the first seven people that respond to this email (first three if we can't get 8)
For anyone who has played "The Wolf", this is a very similar game. I will do my best to explain the rules without being too wordy.
* Every hole is best ball
Rules
1) At the start of the round, throw tees to determine the order.
2) The person to tee off last is "The Old Bear" (OB)
3) After the first person tees off, the OB must decide if he is taking that person as his partner. After the second person tees off, the OB can no longer partner with the second golfer. The same rule applies for the subsequent golfers.
4) If the OB has not selected golfer 1 or 2, he can either partner with player 3 or "go lone Bear"
5) After hole #16, the golf order goes in order of highest score to lowest score (the OB has the least amount of points) for holes #17 and #18
Points
1) If the OB selects a partner, there are 2 points up for grabs on the hole. The team with the best INDIVIDUAL score (w/handicap) wins a point for each golfer.
2) IF the OB goes lone Bear, the OB can win 3 points if he has the best score or the other three golfers win one point each.
3) There are no carry overs
4) Before the first person tees off, the OB can chug a beer to double the points. (The beer must be finished by the time the third person is done teeing off
5) The golfer with the most points at the end of the round wins
What does he win?
A bottle of Whiskey which will be paid for with the buy in money. Each player will need to bring their own beer/spirits
This game is a work in progress so we can always improve the rules after the round.

Reminder - Meeting Tonight
Where: Pedro's
When: 7:00 - Wednesday, Sept 15th
What: Old Bears Meeting / Giants-Dodgers Game Viewing.
The Giants play the Dodgers that night at Pac Bell so the decision to have the meeting by the ballpark could be either really stupid or pretty awesome. In the end, this bar is big and they have a lot of TVs to watch the game on.
Thank you to all of you that responded to my last email and I apologize for the last second change of plans.
I hope to see some of you next Wednesday.

Correction
In further proof that I need to get back in the swing of things, we will be discussing the Old Bears Championship for 2010 not 2011.
Thanks
