Sales and Marketing On an absolutely gorgeous day, two days short of the "Ides
Manager of March", twenty one ATAGers had nothing to beware but
“Pool Bar Dave” Nichols their own March Madness as they excitably participated in
the opening round of the 2007 ATAG season.

A gentle breeze and an unseasonably warm 78 degrees no
doubt contributed to the large turnout, but there was
definitely an air of excitement on the first tee as players
warmly greeted each other after a long winter off season. As
usual, all the major networks were there to cover the event --
except the Golf Channel which apparently is in a contract
dispute with CBS over exclusive rights to televise ATAG
matches. (When contacted, a GC representative refused to
comment under instructions from her legal counsel.)

open This year the Commissioner is pre assigning teams and tee
times via e-mail to avoid long waits on the first tee (subject,
Publisher of course, to the usual last minute cancellations and late
Nickelodeon
arrivals.) Going for the gusto on opening day were:

COMMISH'S TEAM VICTORIOUS!
The opening day gusto was grabbed by none other than
the Commissioner's Team 3, which, despite dropping two
shots on the last hole, topped the field with a score of 10
under, thanks to the stellar play of Tim Martin and the steady
influence of Andy Tyber, each of whom contributed birdie-
net eagle to the winning cause. Providing the bounty were
Team 1 members Tom Kisgen, PJ Wade, Brad Reese, and
Danny Morris, who narrowly missed a three way tie for
patron honors by finishing at 6 under.
REESE WINS LOW GROSS! SELLNER AT TOP!
In the battle between the single digiters, Brad Reese
narrowly edged out Lee Pearson by one stroke to earn Low
Gross honors with a score of 37. High Gross was grabbed by
perennial winner and last year's champion Craig Sellner who
rambled to one of his best rounds with a score of 52.
MARTIN WINS LOW NET!
Seventeen handicapper Tim Martin had one of his best days
on the golf course, shooting a 41 for a net 4 under and
winning the Moola Bounty of 21 bucks.
SEVERAL SHOTS OF THE DAY!
Shot Of The Day honors were earned by David Danzig, Tim
Martin, and Doug Healy. Danzig placed his approach shot
on # 4 within 6 feet and then made the putt for a birdie-net
double eagle-on the two stroke hole. Martin launched a
high arching tee shot on #3 that landed within 5 feet of the
far back right pin placement and then sank the putt for a
birdie-net eagle. And Healy led his team out of the loser's
column on the last hole with a birdie-net eagle after placing
his tee shot within four feet of the flag and then sinking the
all important putt.
BIRDIE CLUB OPENS FOR BUSINESS!
The Birdie Club opened its doors to the 2007 season and
promptly admitted Brad Reese, Andy Tyber, Tim Martin, and
David Danzig.
OTHER TIDBITS:
· The beautiful evening set the stage as players sat on
the porch to await each team's finish, with the last group
completing its round after sunset. Some players opted to
dine on the fine cuisine of the Men's Grill, while some girly
men elected to forego the traditional barley for margaritas
and red wine.

* The Men's Grill was short on staff as apparently word
had not gotten out that ATAG was returning. This prompted
some to suggest that we form an ATAG food and beverage
service committee while others suggested that we should
grill hamburgers on the porch. The Commissioner has taken
such suggestions under advisement.
* Andy Tyber announced that he was no longer
engaged but had, in fact, legally consummated the union in
Hawaii on January 31 of this year. Being now married
apparently had no effect, as he once again bolted soon
after completion of his team's round.
* Scotty Greene's team was fined for slow play after
falling one hole behind, causing the team behind them
(which just happened to be the Commissioner's) to have to
wait on several holes.
* Advance notice cancellations by Doug Gooding,
Tom Thornhill, Brooks Cowles, and Richard Gilmore were
quickly replaced with wait list players, and the Commissioner
thanks them for providing notice so that their spots could be
filled.

* The players expressed their appreciation to the ATAG

lobbyists who arranged for Daylight Savings Time to be
changed so that four weeks could be added to the ATAG
season. The names of these ATAG lobbyists must be kept
confidential in fear of retribution from early riser workers,
especially angered union labor workers from the powerful
American Federation Of Labor.
