I made an ace in the Kiva Cup. No one seems to remember that. I have traveled from China to play in this Cup and I am still forgotten. Off to watch #MySounders
Did I mention I have a toilet in my office now?
I plan to file suit against this site, the so called Proper Forum, immediately. You will hear from my Lawyer, Joseph F. Tillman, Esq, by Monday.
Mr. Meelum:
As Director of the Kiva Cup site, I take full responsibility for the mistake regarding your famous ace in Cup competition. A correction has been made. We hired 2 interns this Cup season, and while they are hard working, they often neglect to check all historical Kiva Cup records. In any event, this is unacceptable and won't be tolerated on The Proper Forum.
Regards,
DGM, Jr
I'm glad you took my advise on your hair Mark.
I would like to request that you all not come into the Pro Shop at once and try to pay green fees and buy shirts, balls, hats and so forth. Please arrange to pay ALL your fees ahead of time to avoid any unwanted confusion.
thanks
BG
I'm glad in on Jim's team so I can point out his smother roll hook did not cross the hazard 280 yards from the tee box without him killing me.
