A Bit O' History

Welcome to the Gray Panther Blog !

The Gray Panthers are a group of Seniors from National Golf Club in Pinehurst, North Carolina. The Panthers have evolved from a small band of week day golfers into a very active and vibrant organization of over 30 and growing.

While golf is the catalyst for getting together, the Panthers enjoy many scheduled social events with their spouses and will soon branch into charitable endeavors in the Sandhills area.

Visit this site often for the latest news and information.

We are living proof that retirement does NOT have to be boring !

Don't Forget to sign up !!!!

The Panthers asked for it and we got it.

The MGA has scheduled a sponsored event on Thursday April 24 at our request. We need a very strong showing and need ALL panthers to sign up for this and play. Come out and have a good time with the rest of the panthers and we will even do lunch!

That's right, LUNCH and it's free !!

The votes are in and America (at least the Panthers) has spoken!

After a week long poll to identify the best way to get more Panthers involved in the Blog, the results are in.

It appears that at least 6 people care enough to have Collett make a personal plea for Panthers to get involved with the Blog, which is a less than inspiring turn out of only 42% of eligible voters.

While this was a unanimous vote from these brave and fearless souls, the lack of response has shaken Collett to her very core. In a personal consultation with this intrepid reporter, Collett remarked that this was the first time she has been rejected in such a way. I was shaking too as I watched her chest heave with all the sobbing, but I could not tear myself away as I valiantly tried to console her.

Sadly, after hours of trying, I had to give up.

Collett is taking her assets elsewhere and she has decided to join a convent.

Such a tragic loss.

"Addressing The Ball"

NOTICE: We start our summer hours this Tuesday. Starting tee time is 8:30 and 8:40

We're at the height of the golf season. In order to make Claude Smith more and more money, management is jamming as many outside players as possible on the course. To make sure we continue to have our specified tee times, make it a practice to get there, ready to go, a good fifteen minutes early. Today the course was pacted, but we played in less than four hours. take care

Take the survey !

We need more Panthers on the Blog and your opinion counts (sort of).

Take the short survey at the bottom of the Blog and help us get more guys involved. Rest assured that your individual vote will be kept strictly confidential.

Just scroll down to the bottom of the page and make your vote count!

Thanks to all

To all the panthers who inquired about my recent medical problem, thank you all very much. I am home, and better than ever, whatever that means. I'm looking forward to getting back on the course as soon as possible. Again, thanks for your concern and for your prayers.

I feel a lot safer knowing Accckkmed Frazier has been captured. I think we should waterboard the bastard. However I think his sister should be allowed complete freedom as long as she agrees to ride with the Panthers every Tuesday and Thursday.

Steve Frazier Revealed as a Terrorist !!

Steve's idenity as a "National Terrorist" was revealed today . . . . his sister, Collett, was identified as the toppless passenger in Harp's golf cart. It appears that she doesn't share his radical views as she was obviously not hiding any armament !!
Has anyone heard how Ray Deaton is doing. I hesitate to call and bug Becky

You know it's too cold to Golf when....

  1. Every tee time is available
  2. You try to spit on your clubface to clean it, and it freezes in midair
  3. The starter's name tag says "Burl Ives"
  4. You call the pro for a tee time, and he answers from Barbados
  5. You develop the yips from shivering
  6. Your Eskimo friend cancels, saying he forgot a dentist's appointment
  7. You can putt out of a water hazard
  8. Instead of carts, the course uses dog sleds
  9. The cart girl pulls up on a snowmobile
  10. You open the door to the starter's shack, and he's in there ice fishing
