Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 18, 2018

It’s like he’s telling a musician, “You’re playing Carnegie Hall!” The Valley Juniors must be incredibly prestigious thereabouts.

P1, And yet you’ve done exactly that, Gil.

P2, Gil raises a frosty glass of Hoo and wonders what happened to the editor.

P3, As the Fluky Boys enter the picture.

Hold it, the obnoxious Pine Ridge kids are supposed to bring out the worst in the Blackthorne kids. Somehow I didn’t think that meant they would conspire together to post bogus scores.

Another Hoakey story line, in a qualifier they would not have twosomes from the same Club playing together, they would mix the players to avoid creating an occasion for sin!!! Not to mention there would be helicopter parents following at least some of the players. Let’s get the cheaters busted and move on to football!!!

In all reality , Meanwhile , as every football team from the Pop Warner League to the National Football League continues to practice getting ready for the fast approaching start of the 2018 season , Gil’s Milford team continues to languish enjoying the dog days of Summer. Sleeping late ,afternoons at the beach and evenings at the Bucket , life is good for the Milford football team.

Wait until Kaz comes out from the bushes with his camo on, twigs coming out of his helmet! You got some s’plaining to do Fluky boys!

What I have learned so far is that cheaters always prosper.

…..Kaz shows the footage of the trail cams he set up to track deer he regularly flashlights at night. It clearly shows them erasing a 9 and writing a 3. As well as the Flukys hitting a cool bong disguised as a 1-iron. Fluky #1 asks if weed is against club rules, since it’s part of the greens. Fluky #2 hopes they all get a trophy.

As GilPa raises a glass of lemonade, toasting Wiltzin and Tony’s success, trouble brews in P3 as Shooter McGavin’s flunky lurks behind the alleged cheaters. JACKASS!!!!

“Unless something fluky happens the last few groups, you’re playing in the Valley Juniors, and I’ll be drinking in the bar! And even if something does, and you’re not, I will be anyway. Summertime, and life is good!”

Liar Liar, Pants on Fire

Truth will out! Those PRCCs are too young to shave…strokes!

Something fluky? Basically, they’re in unless a certain number of golfers left to finish score lower than them. I don’t know if that is considered fluky, unless Gill knows the handicaps of the remaining players. And based on his track record of laziness, I doubt that’s true.

WHAT THE HELL? WHO DID THEY LET DO THE LETTERING ON THE LEADERBOARD? IT LOOKS LIKE THEY STARTED FALLING ASLEEP WHILE WRITING THE SECOND LINE!

ARRRRGH! SIGNMAN MAD! SIGNMAN SMASH!!!

To the guy in background in P3 – “What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?”
