Hello All,
Just got back from the regular monthly class of 63 lunch where a dozen of the class gathered to break bread and socialize.
One of the guys scheduled to be at the lunch was injured playing pickle ball earlier today and had to cancel—we wish Tim Valento a quick recovery.
Dave Britz who is the organizer of our golf outing is away on vacation but wants to be sure all who want to play in the class of 63 golf event (THE CHARLIE) on Wednesday August 10th contact him at 651 459 1858 or britzie37@aol.com
Speaking of golf, you may recall I solicited input from the class on who may have scored a hole in one in their golfing career. I got six replies.
Before I show you the list and some detail, did you know the odds of getting a hole in one for the average golfer is 12,500 to 1. Because we have a classmate who along with holes in one has also achieved a double eagle (albatross) which is far rarer than a hole in one and the odds to make an albatross are estimated to be about 600,000 to 1, that feat is added to the list.
So here is the list of the guys achieving these rare events in golf.
Bob O’Malley (2) one in 2014 at Biltmore Links and one in 2015 at Paradise Valley golf club. Both of these courses are in the Phoenix area where Bob resides. Bob said he saved a lot of money because the club houses were closed when he finished both rounds.
Pat Quinlan (1) Makaha Country club in Hawaii in 1970.
Terry Bacigalupo (1) Myrtle Beach SC in 1986 with a group of 32 guys on a golf vacation. Terry said that he recalls a very high bar bill!
Mike Swenson (1) Maddens Classic in Brainerd in 2015 and Mike has a plaque to prove it.
Richard Bulter-No Details
Don Danneker (2) One at Inver Grove Golf club in the mid 80’s and one at Como golf in St Paul in 2016. Don has the Double Eagle (Albatross) at Hastings Club in 1988. Don says the 2 holes in one cost him a bundle!
Well congrats to those comes from the rest of us who have been trying for many years with no success.
A few other things; you may recall CDH has organized an annual ALL alumni (Cretin, Derham Hall and CDH) get together. It was suppose to kick off last September but Covid got in the way. So this year it is scheduled for Thursday September 15th at CDH. Here is a link to give you more info https://www.cretin-derhamhall.org/onecdh/
Since all three schools are included in the annual event Mothers, Sons, Daughters Fathers, Brothers, Sisters etc are all invited to have an enjoyable evening together as ONE CDH ALUMNI CELEBRATION.
More info is due out soon.
Mark your calendars
