To All Family Members and golf enthusiasts of all ages:

Before the coronation of Jim McCauley as Senior Golfer of the Year or the Comeback Kid (?), one important point should be raised here: it's about a club that the Senior Mr. McCauley carries in his bag. To say the least, it is of questionable origin and suspicious design. For whenever, he is within say 20 yards of the pin, he reaches into his golf bag of tricks and proceeds to hit the ball either into to the hole or to within 2' to 3' after which he says 'that's a gimme' and picks up his ball. I don't believe the man even carries a putter in his bag.
Furthermore, it has been reported by several people in the huge galleries that follow our foursome around, that Senior Jim has been overheard, mumbling (yes, mumbling) to himself, as he reaches into his golf bag that famous line from the movie Scarface, "Say hello to my little friend, The Chipper". He then proceeds to strike the ball with this club (or whatever it is) to the yells of the gallery; "You da' man" or "It's in the hole"...most annoying!
To this date, Senior Jim has refused to submit that club for a PGA inspection and ruling as to its legitimacy. I, for one, would like to see the Senior Mr. McCauley play another round without that club in his bag so as to level the playing field for the rest of us before any Awards Dinner takes place.

See you all on the tour!

Championship Golf Match

This weekend Sat Oct 6th a championship golf match was held at Western Hills Golf Course in CT with three foursomes competing for the champhionship. Famous players were Ed Brock, Earl Briggs, Danny McCauley, Brandt McCauley, James Dale McCauley,
Jim McCauley, Joe LaBarbera (Lisa's dad and former cupholder). A quick update of this match, Jim MCauley came out on top with low score of the match & skins winner. Jim now will be
carrying the torch and the cupholder in the future. Joe LaBarbera had a hard time in defeat but Jim explained to him that it is time for him to settle back and enjoy his retirement. And at this time someone that can handle trash-talking from the upcoming young golfers has to be able to compete against these young fellows which Jim has proved so elequently on Saturday. Not only
did Jim get the cup to carry but also put Jimmy Dale, Danny, Brandt, Earl and Ed all in his back pocket. But at this time Jim would like to compliment Ed Brock for his compassion on the 17th hole by missing a 4-inch putt and allowing Earl Briggs to at least go home with one skin for 18 holes. Also, it should be said that Earl Briggs should step down the ladder to the par 3's and maybe in the future he can have a shot at the cup. As for Jimmy Dale it might take weeks, maybe months to get over this defeat but to sit around by himself and second guess, Jim's advise would be to reach out to his father-in-law and both may recover from this defeat within months instead of years. As Phil, Tiger and Ernie were quoted on ESPN, "This was one of the greatest matches that came down the pipe and a true champion has emerged victorious." The next match should be a great match also. Sean McCauley is the next contender but Jim is looking forward to another victory. Jim would like to thank all who worked on the match and the social gatheries that followed over the weekend.

Update

I don't know who posted that anonymous note, but if I were a betting girl it would be someone West of NY! Yes, the wheels feel off the bus...:( however, it was a great season until the last three weeks. I am going to jump on the bandwagon and say...Willie must go right back to the Bronx...he waits way too long to take out the pitchers when they clearly don't have it. IE: Glavine this past weekend.
Bring back Mazzilli!

In the end Ya Gotta Believe! Heck we have been through worst years as Met's fans.

Heisman Hopeful

Under the tutelage of James McCauley we were expecting a breakout week from Jax, he did not disappoint. He has not committed to any college at present but USC, Michigan, Texas and West Virginia have expressed a strong interest.

PGA Weekend Tour Results

Hi All,

Not sure if anyone saw this on ESPN this weekend, but here's the news recap:

WINGDALE, NY AUG. 25th- With the heat index and humidity levels soaring to 100 this past Saturday, the PGA tour swung into Silo Ridge Golf Course. On the 11:30 am pairing was Evelyn McCauley, Sean McCauley, James McCauley and Ed "Buzzy" Brock. Paried in teams the foursome (Evelyn/Sean vs. Jim/Buzzy), battled the heat and course on a steamy New York afternoon. The early holes went to the seasoned veterans of Brock/McCauley, with solid driving accuracy and a amazing 70' chip in birdie on the third hole by Buzzy put Evelyn/Sean in catch-up mode right away. Jim McCauley's solid double bogey golf as usual kept the pressure on throughout the first nine. The back nine was a different story, Evelyn & Sean rejuvenated from a hotdog & beer lunch on the turn, turned up the heat. Evelyn was quoted after the match as saying "I knew if we stayed close on the front nine we had a shot. They looked tired going into the 10th and that was the time we decided to put them away." True to her comeback nature, the duo recaptured the lead and never looked back. After pulling the match back to even, they went up by two and held on by playing par golf. Visibly tired and mentally frustrated, the Brock/McCauley pairing never could make a run for the title late in the match. To add insult to injury the PGA is investigating questionable score keeping. After Sergio Garcia's disqualification at this year's British Open for false scoring, the PGA has said they will open a full investigation. Evelyn McCauley was again quoted in the clubhouse after the match saying "Jim has a long history of gimmes and mulligans that I have always questioned with his score. I used to carry an abacus counting device, I would glady loan it to Jim. I am just glad to see the officials are finally taking notice." The four are looking to setup a rematch for later this year.

Hi Laura & Chris & Mathew -
We love The McCauley Clan blog. Really terrific what you have done and we are all very appreciative of your efforts. I am writing to Santa Claus to bring me a digital camera for
Christmas this year. ...... Big Jim and I don't want to be left out.
Everyone looks great.

We love you all.

Uncle Jimmy & Aunt Evelyn
