Silver Oak Senior Men’s Club President’s Cup Winners
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Mon, 07/10/2023 - 11:20amThis past Thursday, July 6, SOSMC held the second round of an eclectic two round tournament known as the President’s Cup. What makes this competition unique is it’s played over two consecutive tournament Thursdays, but every player gets to use his best score from either round for each hole.
So, if a player has a blowup hole in one round but a better score in the other round, then the better score is used. It’s a fun experience that results in heavy bantering before and after each round.

Pine Nuts: How the worth of hunting dog Old Drum shifted from dollars to heartstrings
Submitted by Jeff Munson on Sun, 07/09/2023 - 5:17pm
Some years ago I was invited to participate in a Chautauqua out in Warrensburg, Missouri, alongside Harry Truman and George Washington Carver. We had a grand time of it, and enjoyed each other’s company ever more when we were off duty. In our Warrensburg wanderings I happened to notice a statue of a dog, a hound dog named, “Old Drum.” I thought it quaint to have a statue of a hunting dog in the town square, and attributed it to the soft hearts of the good citizens of Warrensburg. They even sent me home with a pin of Old Drum, dated 1870.
