LBI Top 10: 3...2...1

They're heeeeere.  We've had some fun reminiscing about some good times on and off the course.  But now we're down to the 3 most famous moments - or infamous, as you'll see with #3 - of all time at LBI.  Without further adieu..

#3 The Original Caddies (2009, Long Bay)
"the road to hell is paved with good intentions" - anonymous (possibly the owner of Derriere's?)

A book could be written about the terribleness of the first attempt at LBI getting caddies.  But to sum up, Mr Shea spent an evening at Derriere's and advised us the following morning we needed to get the RV to leave a little early to make a pit stop.  When we arrived, the following quote from Lich sums up the "caddies" perfectly.
- Lich:  "who would get into a sketchy rv with some random dudes?"  then upon seeing them walking towards us, he answered his own question, "oh.  them."  one of the girls had a full sleeve of tattoos. upon said sleeve, was a tattoo of her dead daughter.  awkward....

Kevin's reputation shattered for years.  If this is the talent at the clubs you go to, i'm glad I opt out! 

#2 RV (2008,2009,2010,2011,2012)

For 5 years, little raised as much excitement about LBI.  For weeks ahead of departure, emails and text messages were sent with two simple letters; RV.  It became similar to the nomenclature used by the Smurfs.  RV?  RV!  RV

Departing from DC on Tuesday nights, driving through to the KOA (I still get emails from KOA)  

Here's some key words that come to mind when thinking of the RV (modernized for today's social media)

And #1:  Shirtless Par3 (2010, Glen Dornoch (Saps, Shea, Ladd, CT)

It may seem common place now, but there was a time when entire rounds were played with a shirt on.  That all changed in 2010.  When 4 men were bombed and a lightbulb went off.  While no one has the brain cells that were alive at the time the idea was conceived, it must have went something like this:  "hey, why are we playing this hole with our shirts on when we could just as easily take our shirts off and play a shirtless par 3?"  

A few notes on this event:

- CT, chunked; Shea was decent, Saps, decent...

- Ladd: the distance his shot went left was the same distance it went forward.
- Ciarlo LOVES this hole.  look at that tree directly in front of the green!

- Up at the green, a marshall drove up and stopped, looked at us.  All we said was "we're not gay".  he then drove off.  

Below is a link to the event.  It's 8 minutes, but worth the watch.  One thing in particular to note is around 1:30 you'll hear a cart screech and Kevin looks up then laughs.  At this moment, Brett drove up, laid on the brakes, got out of his cart.  He looked at us...then did a double take and immediately took off his shirt.  You'll then see the camera pan to him, shirtless.  It was so funny.

Well, that's it.  One week from today, 16 of us will be on the course, playing the 10th Annual LBI and as those cheesy facebook posts go..."making memories..."
