Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 31, 2018

It’s not “like” you have to prove it, you really need to prove it so suck it up and make some shots dweeb.

As I was watching the 11PM sports news last night here in NC they reported on the Wake Forest game. The first word out of the sportscaster’s mouth was True. . . And then freshman. I thought for a second our boy Tru(e) Standish finally got his shot but noooooo, he’s been beaten out this time by a freshman QB. He should have taken that baseball contract. Wake won in OT for anyone interested 23-17.

P1, Suddenly they forgot how to cheat?

P2, C’mon, Coach, it’s The Milford Invitational! How could we not be embarrassed?

P3, Well dude, you picked the wrong sport if you can’t take the pressure.

P3 “The only time I panic is when I am under pressure”!!!

Enough! Give them all a trophy and get on to football, unless they’re still playing baseball!

In all reality , WOW ,Gil is really into this Junior Golf storyline. Getting score updates is over the top ! Remember Gil anyone can have a bad round , what did they shoot inquiring minds want to know ?

The plot thickens. To about the consistency of vegetable broth.

P3- Does MCC had a phone booth on the course? Wiltzin Casey is this close to Cluck Trent mode.

P1 – So that’s it with the cheaters? Absolutely nothing happened, other than they shot poorly. They still got to play in the Juniors, and can put that on their resume.

P3 – Prove they deserve what? Gil called around and asked other schools/clubs to send some golfers. Nobody exactly qualified for this thing.

P3: “Because, when those guys cheated, we had an excuse for losing…now we gotta’ back up our whining with strong play”

Time to tar & feather the cheaters and throw them on the opening game bonfire!!

Yeah they still got the Valley Juniors participation plaque for their CC wall of fame.

Maybe Gil can look at the scorecard and game plan the round for them. That should cut off a few strokes.

Why, you ungrateful wretch! Gil goes to all this trouble and you act put upon.

Hey, anyone got a map of the course?

P-1: R&W create an unintentional pun. The sixteen year olds are on the “Driving” range. Hope they get their learners’ permits.

P-2: Gil! it’s How, Kemosabe.

“We got jobbed”. I guess I’m the only one who never heard this expression before?

At the VJ, it’s “yessir, Mr. Scorekeeper…I had a 95”

Well look at that, another new Mopped Up Thorp today. This won’t last forever, so enjoy it while you can.
