Even a Blind Pig Finds An Acorn Sometimes

 

A Challenge from General Steve Parker

It has come to my attention that some NSGers who have recently recorded a hole in one have a sense of superiority over those of us who only have closest to the pin awards.  They seem to feel that a hole in one is a testament to their superiority in the short game:  closest to pin winners are just blind pigs who happen to find an acorn.

I protest.  Not only is that attitude pejorative toward most golfers, but also toward blind pigs and pigs in general.  Who doesn’t like pigs?  Randy Sain’s favorite - Arnold Ziffle in "Green Acres"; Miss Piggy in the “Muppets"; Boss Hogg in "Dukes of Hazzard" (you didn’t want to be blind when Daisy Duke was featured!)  or Pig in the "Pearls before Swine" comic strip, or even Snowball, Napoleon and Squealer in George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”?

I propose a closest-to-the-pin challenge on Monday at Sky Mountain.  All par 3s will be closest to pin, played from the appropriate-age tees, with victors crowned at the 19th hole, where trophies will be awarded to the winners.

Game On:  It's the Four Aces (AKA "Blind Pigs") - Randy Sain, Rick Brown, Ric Opheikens, Mark Clouston versus the NSG field for closest to the pin.
