"If there were an award for the Most Improved SOY athlete of the year it would clearly go to the "unnatural" Donnie. Finishing an entire round is a major accomplishment. Ironically, he finished that round with no socks or underwear, as a courtesy he left them on the green for the group behind us should they need them for some reason." Jonesy, Chicago IL

"I had the fortune of playing in the group behind Donnie. I was somewhat surprised to find a totally muddy pair of socks on the green, and then an extra large pair of Christmas boxers on the following tee. I'm just glad he did not choose to copy Scotty's signature move, and go totally nude." Mondo, Buffalo, NY

"That poor kid was so determined to find that damn pink ball in the swamp, he ruined his socks and somehow shredded his underwear. Thats how low he got in the snake infested bog. We never found it... I love the video of Whiteys trick shot in the bunker- the ball returned to the same spot. Was that photoshopped??" Kurt, Chicago IL

From the Chicago faction:
True KOS golf story...
A regular KOS competitor was practicing for the upcoming tournament at his local course, primarily to acclimate his body for the mental and physical punishment of a typical KOS weekend.
Uncharacteristically, he began his round with an eagle on the first hole and a birdie on the second.
On the third hole he had just scored his first ever hole-in-one when his cell phone rang.
It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in a terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU. He told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that the he'd be there as quickly as possible.
As he hung up he realized he was leaving what was shaping up to be his best ever round of golf. Reluctantly he decided to get in a couple more holes before heading to the hospital, there wasn’t much he could do anyway.
He ended up playing all eighteen, finishing his round shooting a personal best 61, shattering the club record by five strokes and beating his previous best game by more than 10. He was jubilant...Then he remembered his wife. Feeling terribly guilty he immediately dashed to the hospital.
Running to the ICU he saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about his wife's condition.
The doctor glared at him and shouted, "You went ahead and finished your round of golf didn't you!"..."I hope you're proud of yourself!
“While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself on the course your wife has been languishing in the ICU!”
“It's just as well you went ahead and finished that round because it will be more than likely your last!" "For the rest of her life she will require 'round the clock' care. And you will be her care giver!!!"
Feeling terribly guilty he broke down and sobbed ...The doctor snickered and said, "Just fucking with you...She's dead. What'd you shoot?"
