Our History - Why We do it

For those who don't know Don Forg was like a Father to Douggie, in fact he was his Father (Note the similar last name) and the Father in-law of Bill Baxter. This is all I am sure of at this point but I will follow up on this. Each year the tournament begins with an honorary tee ball. Usually, Doug or Bill gets to shank one into the houses prior to the start. Everyone dresses alike (you know what I think of this) and the concentration levels are unbelievable for the state of mind in which we exist.

Why do we do it

Why is the Forg cup such a covetted item? This is a true test of Golf as Tom Morris had originally intended. No one in their right mind would invent such a game while sober. Golf was meant to be played while completely shit faced. Any idiot could join the PGA tour and play 4 days with 10 hours of sleep each night and proper diet. I mean who really cares about the US Open or the Clerret Jug - maybe if it was full of Scotch. If you can survive for 3 days with a belly full of beer, cheese crackers and Fajitas, listen to Shaun and Paul go at each other and endure Troy's tantrums and still win this tournament your name should listed in the Anals (I know that's the wrong spelling) of golf history. I'd like to see Jack or Tiger play under those conditions.
