Well, we did it again. A core group of hearty golfers came out to celebrate the study and practice of marketing with the American Marketing Association of Saint Louis at Creve Coeur Golf Course.
Nick Niehaus, our AMA chapter president was on hand to kick of the afternoon round on Friday July 1, 2022. I rode with the incomparable Bob Mogley who flattered me twice (first by suggesting that I inspired him as he has made a career change that he absolutely loves. secondly, suggesting that our annual outing might be named the Wes Morgan Open since I have been determined to keep this little tradition alive).
It was a glorious sunny warm day and while we were a mighty few relative to other years when our outing attracted 40+ (enough to justify a shotgun start) but this was kind of a special year as we emerge from global challenges, political divisiveness, and challenging times overall. Tim Brinks made sure we were well taken care of at the course (in spite of our random organizational details). Dave Shogren managed to deliver goody bags for all golferrs (even as he and his wife just returned from an amaging trip to Zanzibar, Africa). Rowdy Jones managed to take a break from his new positionn at BJC signage shop to contribute to our prize pool.
Randy Niederer of Cambridge Engineering, Ted Ruzicka and his playing partner Bill Potthoff, Tyler Kelly of SLAM! agency and his brother, and Tom Ferris of Watlow rounded out the field. I was touched by the reflections live and via messages of RSVP regrets of what our annual folly has enabled over the years. Mark Bretz regrets Covid 19 is in his family precludes his paticiptaion this year, Brian Dwyer hopes to return maybe next year (as a returning champion), UMSL's Perry Drake broke both of his arms in a motorcycle acident and regrets that doctor appointment eliminnates even a cameo as a posibility.
Thanks to AMA, CCGC and players. A good time was had by all. Again!
