Default Another Spyder Production

I sat in my chair looking at my golf clubs and bags Thursday morining only to realize that I would not be making the trip, as I too was getting the food poison-bug that my wife had caught the day before.

Still I taped the winner circle and put it on Youtube.

Enjoy,

Spyder

Trust me, it made me cry as well, Nicole.

What an amazing gesture by a great group of friends. I was speechless and very touched. Thank you so very much to everyone involved. You all mean the world to me.

Listen kid, leave the jokes to the grown-ups.

By the way Sheets, the airport toilet looked like the aquarium at Sea World if you know what I mean............

Thanks for posting Spyder, I also had to cancel last week because my wife had to travel last minute for work. I was very disapointed too but this lets me share in the moment. I'll make the second annual trip though. Are we keeping it in Tampa or are we moving it city to city?

Nice! Now we have a GPK/Grunder growth chart to go along with the one Sheets has. Unfortunately for GPK, the only way he's going to make up some ground is if Grunder starts to shrink.
