Last week Rick golfed in the 24th annual Witucki Open. What is the Witucki Open you ask? Well, it started in the mid 1980's by two buddies, Jim Witucki and Darrell Berry, when 12 working buddies took a half day off work to play golf. They each threw in $5.00 for prize money and the event was born.
Since then it has grown to 28 golfers and has become an annual outing they all look forward to, especially the bragging rights to the champion- ship and their name on the trophy. The inscription on the trophy sums it up this way, "The Witucki Open - Dedicated to Brotherhood and Beer."
Since Rick golfed only a few times this year, he was surprised and speechless (wow, twice this year) when he was awarded the trophy for the lowest net score of 64.
This is the 5th time he won, which I'm sure will result in a lower handicap for him next year. He's OK with that. These guys are like brothers and more than prizes and trophies, they cherish their annual day of golf, fun, and harassing each other. They especially like the harassing part....well the cold beer is great too, I'm told.
Until next August....
