Hackers Cup 2021
Charge of the Hackers Brigade……….
“Forward, the Hackers Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the duffer knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
They rode, it felt like six hundred.
.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with every shot by wind and scalding sun,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the Hackers Brigade.
THE FOURSOMES OF THE APOCALYPSE:
Flashed all their sabres bare,
Flashed as they turned in air
Sabring their irons there,
Oh sure—There are lots of smiles here now, but beware, the battle is but a pup!
Charging like an army, while
All the world watched in wonder.
Team World:
Team Canada:
Individual Skills Set the Warriors Apart :
…….flashing their sabres bare………………………….
The spoils of battle –where the money drops!
“Good weight JP”
Some were visited by the ghosts of battles past:
Jerry and Rick were a little more reserved than last year >>>>

Prizes, Presentations, Good fun and Fellowship
Mac is thrilled to be the recipient of the 10th anniversary of the Boobie Prize 
“and don’t anybody try to sneak away without paying their bill” 
“I thought I told you to leave the cookies in the bag” 
“Geesh – how long does it take to get another jug of beer?” 
Eric Carmen 
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Hackers Brigade,
Noble to the last stroke counted!
Special thanks to Jerry and Dan for the photography! See y’all next season!

Hackers’ Cup Tournament Dress Code:
This year we are asking all Hackers on both teams…. to wear some attire to represent your favourite sports team (past or present) or a part of a uniform (hat. shirt, pants etc.) that you may have personally worn as a player in days gone bye….if it still fits. An old hockey, baseball, slo-pitch or golf article of clothing etc. will do the trick. I will warn Jason and the marshals that the Heritage Hills’ dress code may be violated for Our Special Day!! There may be some funny stories to share after your round about your articles of clothing? If you are in the process of renovating…moving….between residences…you are are exempted…this time!!
Let’s have some fun with it! I will ask Jerry if he would be kind enough to take some photos before, during and after the tournament. Our other resident photographer (Dan) … is organizing another function on Thursday and won’t be able to play this year but has consented to join us after golf and take some candid shots on the patio. Grayley did a wonderful job of organizing last year’s wonderful photos by both Jerry and Dan on our website!!! I’m sure that you all agree!
A Special Thanks to Grayley, Alan and Peter for all their help with The Thursday Hackers during the season and also to Shag for his tireless work organizing the On Tour Play on Mondays and Tuesdays during the season and following the Hackers’ season in Sept. and Oct.
Let’s hope the weather cooperates! BMac

They came from across the globe, ready to play….

Against the elements, they ventured forth:
Damn… I thought I would get more roll than that! 
The Hacker Chorus Line? 
Keith with his new bamboo driver 
Unfortunately, somebody had to tell him that the ball was still on the tee 
Hacker’s Lives Matter!
“One of these golfers is not like the others,
One of these golfers isn’t the same,
Can you till me which one is not like the others,
Before we finish our game!
Note to the viewer: The following picture defies description….. is it really happening simultaneously?? Please send in your captions and I will post them. (i.e. is Rick actually that triple jointed, or maybe he learned that from Caitlyn? What is Jerry’s purpose here?…. does he see a naked cart girl? Is he racing to catch the “A” train?…. please help explain this!
