Winners of the three designated skin holes (hardest par 4 on each nine) were as follows:

JUNGLE #3 TEAM #5 DAVE MITTEER, PAUL THROESCH, TIM KACHELSKI & REY FARAH. &
MARSH #8. TEAM #3 BOB MAGUFFEE, DAVE WOLFENDON, STEVE MARKUNAS & RICK CARLSON.
While no asshole of the day was awarded, the following is noteworthy:
Steve Markunas got his first ever hole in one! Weeeeell sortof. OK, not really. Here is what happened. His team is teeing off on hole #2 of the JUNGLE, a whopping 308 yards tee to green. Steve, who is determined to get there in one, whollaps his drive! A sreaming line drive, maybe 24-28 inches off the ground - hits the blue cylindrical PCV pipe standing in the middle of the fairway to designate "200 yards in to the green" from there - hits it midway up and the ball disappears. Upon close up inspection, the ball did not disappear at all, but pierced the PCV tube and went down the pole resting at the bottom of the anchor hole.
Finally, I received a follow-up billing statement from the Copper Hills management for what is quoted as necessary veterinary wildlife psychotherapy services. It seems that the abundant deer herd living peacefully within the resort property were - shall we say - more than a little upset (emotionally scarred) by our presence. While there would seem to be plenty of room for human deer avoidance on this large property sculpted through the hills, marshes and jungle forests we all enjoyed, the deer weren't used to the intrusion that Snappers made with errant shots flying everywhere and everywhichaway. See the following photos submitted to me with the invoice as evidence of the Snapper League's culpability.
VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED!

FINAL YEAR END Snapper Bites: (September 1)
Posted: September 8, 2011 By: Snapper
IT'S A WRAP! GREAT FUN GENTLEMEN. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR 2011 SUMMER THURSDAY NIGHTS WITH ME. SEE YOU IN THE SPRING!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2011 LEAGUE CHAMPS Jamie Leece & Herb Green. I am sure we once again will here the same old false Bravado promises to REPEAT we have heard the past 3 years out of League Champs Jamie Leece/Paul Throesch (2008), Chris Carlson/Dave Mitteer (2009) and Paul & Matt Wojdylak (2010). Sorry boys - not likely. Our last successful REPEAT was Scott Cowan/Steve Peltier who won back to back 2006-2007 and that was only to shut Dave Wolfenden/Steve Markunas, back to back winners 2004-2005 up with their "3PEAT" chants.
Fact is we have never had a 3 peat. We do have three-time winners in COWAN/PELTIER, who add 1997 to their resume as well, but that's not the record. In our 24 seasons as a league we had one four time team winner: Gary Fulgham/Mark Blevins who won in 1995,1998,1999 and 2002.
Cudos also to the league's best golfer Paul Wojdylak with a season average of 38.93 and carded 70 pars and 12 birdies in 135 holes an average of 61% of the holes he played. Wow!!! Sorry 'bout that repeat promise failure - ha! Although that may have been Matt's promise but you get to live with it 'til next year!!!
Our perfect attendance award goes to: Timmy K, Pic-Pic, Hollywood, Peaches, Herb, Paul Throesch and Darren. Hmmmm you guys must really like hangin out with us that you cancelled all your other obligations.
Yea we had 2, count em 2 eagles this year, Herbie and Matt. Nice Job guys.
Chris failed to card one on his league sheet soduko quest but who am I to mention it since I failed also along with Dave Thomas being the only guys on the league not to card a single birdie. Oh well. At least Dave Thomas got a hole in one (not on league) this year.
And in a close race the 2011 Greg Groesser Free Golf sub award goes this year to Branden Brilinski with 7 free rounds edging out Jerry Carlson who had 6.
If anyone has changed their contact info, address, cell, email etc be sure to update me at Copper Hills.
Rest In Peace, our fallen brother Mark Blevins. You will always have a place in our hearts on league nights as with GGs who left us last year.
GO SNAPPERS!!!
R.I.P. MARK BLEVINS - Aka: "The Assassin" - aka: "Smooth" - aka: "Markie Mark", who passed from this earth to heaven 7/12/2011
You will be sorely missed by your Snapper brothers. Rest in peace my friend. It occurred to me that Mark completes the first full Snapper foursome on the other side of the veil by joining Greg Groesser, Terry Tigner,and honorary member Donnie "The Donz" Carlson, who passed away 23 years ago today. Im sure they are getting reaquainted on the heavenly practice putting green awaiting the rest of us when we ultimately take that special pontoon ride across Lake Creation.
Until then, See you at the Majestic! obit

I sat at a table on the beer deck checking the math on Snapper golf cards (fifty five... fifty six... fifty seven...). Fellow Snappers were swapping traffic violation stories like old sailors rolling up their pant legs and comparing shark wounds. Mister Cowan's partner, Shang, had started the subject earlier when he hired Snapper to help him with a ticket (allegedly for speeding, but Shang claims it was a wrongful citation as he was in a hurry that day). Shang became concerned and wondered aloud if he was still on Snapper's "billing clock." Snapper told Shang not to worry, as he will work for beers. Shang, here is a running legal bill (bar tab) for Snapper's services.
