2018 Opening Tee

The start of the 23rd season of the GCCGL is almost here! Although “league play” doesn’t official start until 4/19, the two-week preseason begins on 4/5/18. That’s just a few short weeks away folks! Now for everyone’s favorite blog post of the year, the annual GCCGL championship predictions.  The GCCGL commissioners’ office has successfully predicted the GCCGL champion two years in a year. Can we make it three? Anyone want to wager?

Let me first start by stating that I think the team names are better this year than past years but there were still a couple of head scratchers.

Putter Face (1)
Everyone knows that the first step in winning a GCCGL championship starts with a winning GCCGL team name. I don’t know why, but I kinda like this name. Is this the year Lip Gloss experiences the sweet taste of a championship? I guess we’ll see. One thing is for sure, if they don’t wind up the best team this season then they definitely will be the best-dressed team. Don’t rule out this group from showing up with matching visors and ankle socks by the second or third team event.

Donkey’s Disciples (2)
Finally! Roller doesn’t incorporate his name into his GCCGL team name. Thank God after that facacta team name last year (Roller Over and VanPelt-er in the Eiser), he redeems himself, somewhat, and is back to getting serious about winning a GCCGL championship. This team is either flirting with greatness by hedging their bets on come-back years from Crowe and Ollie which is doable, but they can just as easily challenge last season’s disaster, Birdies, Eagles and a Crowe team, as the worst in GCCGL history.

The Process (3)
This was one of the head scratchers I referred to earlier. Team captain, Scratch, asked everyone to trust “the process” when he chose Syndrome as the 7th overall pick in the 2018 GCCGL draft. I gotta tell ya, if “the process” was meant to piss off Syndrome, then MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! This process has managed to get Syndrome’s euro male mesh thong all tied up in a bunch as witnessed by his ranting comments regarding the HOF induction. What process in hell  aims to put Squirts and Syndrome on the same team forcing them to play together all season? I hope you know what you’re doing Turnwald?

Hackstreet Boys (4)
Fresh off his HOF induction, Goldie has put together an interesting group of individuals. If Goldie can keep his golf outbursts under control, he might just lead this team to the promised land. If Couzin’ Joe can repeat his stellar performance from last year and The Politician returns to his old ways, we might be looking at something special here boys. This is our “sleeper” of the season.

Ballers…Schott Callers!! (5)
And the winner is ……………… Ballers…Schott Callers!! …………….for the worst team name of the season! I have nothing else to say.

If you guys haven’t figured it out by now, any team that has the Portuguese Warrior on it will always be predicted to finish last by the GCCGL commissioners office. Not because I think this team won’t play well, but because I’m not jinxing my own team by predicting us to win! At any rate, I’m looking forward to getting to know a new member, Galindo, and playing with Nick “Potter” Duer all season long and who knows, if Meat repeats his golf game from last season, this team might not suck.

Who do you think are the favorites and who do you think will be eliminated from contention by the end of April? Leave a comment for Pete’s sake! Syndrome is the only one leaving comments, that’s why I love that man, in a manly kinda of way of course. He knows how hard I work to make this blog fun and collaborative! Say what you want about Syndrome, but underneath all that beer drinking, chicken wings eating exterior and Don Rickles bravado, he cares damn it. You don’t even need to log on anymore! What more do I have to do to get you knuckleheads to interact a little with the GCCGL blog?

The schedule is set! We hope to see you on the golf course and as always, hit ’em straight!
