October 15, 2003

This week's tournament was the Gordin Collegiate Classic. The top 11 teams from last year's NCAA championships (plus the host school) are invited to this tournament. We sneaked in due to a couple of teams withdrawing. It was a great opportunity to show that we belong among the elite in Division III golf and that we deserve a spot at this season's nationals.

When the bus finally arrived back in Atlanta, Jason Scherr suggested that I write a top-10 list for my diary entry. So I will offer two lists. One making fun of him and his roommate Brian (Nixon) and one about the most inevitable things that happen on our college golf trips.

Top 10 Funniest Things about Jason and Brian
10. If you are playing against Jason you are always away
9. Why does Brian always wear a collared shirt? ALWAYS
8. Jason is a neat freak
7. Brian is the anti-neat freak
6. Jason's closet is color coordinated down to shades of colors.
5. Brian loves the color pink (On this trip he wanted to use my red sharpie to mark his ball because it turns pink after a few holes)
4. Jason's only goal in a tournament is to beat Trent Erb (He is the No. 1 player for Oglethorpe)
3. Brian didn't play Little League baseball...who does that?
2. Jason still wishes he was playing in AJGA events
1. And the No. 1 funniest thing ... (drumroll) ... Brian uses a cell phone more than most people eat

Top Ten Most Inevitable Things about our College Golf Trips
10. It will rain at least once on your trip
9. You will be late for the van at least once, especially because Coach's watch is 10 minutes fast
8. You will learn to love the sound of artificial crow noises
7. You will see more dinosaurs than in Jurassic Park
6. Cracker Barrel anyone?
5. Someone will dispute having to wash clubs after round one
4. No one will ever have to clean Tim's clubs
3. The greens will be aerated more often than not
2. Brian will keep someone up later than normal
1. And the No. 1 inevitable thing ... Tiger Woo 2004 will be on your mind the whole trip.
