| Kleinerville: That
quaint little village located on the bend of #9 and #18 fairway.
Kleinerville is known for its dirt roads lined by pin oaks. It has
also been rumored to be the inspiration for the movies "Pleasantville"
and "EDTV." Established by the reluctant Jim Klein, who unknowingly
began a trend with his traditional tee ball on these holes. Although
many have attempted, no one has been able to navigate its highways and
byways like its founder, Jim Klein. Lately Kleinerville has been
under attack by more aerial missions than Belgrade. In closing, a
sad note, it has been noted by many of Jim Klein's playing partners, that
the founder of this fine metropolis has abandoned the village for a better
life to the west. |

| The "K": Not to be
confused with the baseball stadium in Kansas City. It is the gimme
of ultimate proportions. It's distance is clearly not defined.
The "K" is known to keep struggling players on the course to finish a round
they would rather forget. To learn more about the "K" visit the page
on Group Controversies. |
|
| The Skillet: The area
located just down the hill from old #12 tee. The term the Skillet was
supposedly begun by the legendary Jim Klein. The Skillet runs from
the cedars on the right side fairway, to the cedars on the left side of
the fairway. Many a ball has found the Skillet over the years, as
it is usually the target of most players off #12 tee. The only complaint
heard about being in the Skillet has been muttered by Charles Hanley.
The Hanley says, "Ditches! Ditches! Ditches! I play WCC and I am
in the ditches all day!" |

| The Helen Keller Cart:
What do you call a cart driven by the Schwartz and co-piloted by Donnie
Morganti. |
|
| Velcroizing: Velcroizing
is the practice of ripping velcro (usually with the golf glove) in the
middle of someone's shot. |
|
| The Jacks: Anyone who
experiences one of those classic straight right shots is said to have the
"jacks." Jack "Wolfman" Wilmer has introduced many players to the
art of shanking. In fact, if you go to #7 tee you can get a daily lesson on the "jacks"
(note: it is always best to be on the left side of the "Wolfman" during his demonstration). |
|
| Klingertown: Not to
be confused with Kleinerville, it is located to the left of #4 fairway
along the row of cedar trees. It is the classic bailout
location for those who have OB right on their mind. The phrase Klingertown
was first used by Cannonball, who said the town's founder Irv Klinger (that
transplanted raucous Pennsylvanian with an attitude) always visited the
area off the tee. The dwellers of Klingertown are called Klingons,
they love taking shot of Crown Royal to get them through their trials and
tribulations. |
|
| Slhook: A shot atypical
to "Slats." The slhook heads right like it is going to be in trouble,
but then suddenly heads back left to avoid the tall grass,
trees, water, etc.... The shot one "Slats" has perfected is very difficult to hit, unless you are using
an old Top Flite Plus. Originally "Slats" declared that the shot was dependent upon using a Slazenger, but
it was witnessed recently that he performed his mastery with a Titleist HP. Steve
Brunin professed recently that he had also hit a slhook, but alas, there were no witnesses, so therefore
the legend still stands. |
|
| Pinning the Tail on the Donkey:
A shot sometimes used by the crusty WCC members in an attempt to avoid
the skillet off of old #12. The area they try to hit is the ground where
Rick has buried a dead mule for the new women's tee on #12. If you
decide to attempt this particular shot you might heed Chucker's warning
that a 7 wood is too much stick! |
|
| Ground Looper: According
to the clubhouse story yesterday(8-8-99), the "Ground Looper" is a 130
yd. duck hook! Cannonball relates this shot to an experience he had
flying a small plane some years ago when the plane took an unexpected 'hook
shot' landing. Unlike his game of late, he was able to save the plane!

| The Acorn Swing: Developed
by the pioneer of many different shots, Slats. Seems the new swing
was developed as Slats stood on the tee stroking acorns. He found
that being SMOOTH with his swing was being more productive. Thus,
Slats puts his newly found acorn swing into action. It is rumored
that he actually has been striking the ball better and has a times developed
a draw. Things were kind of believable until the draw part, now it
sounds like another tall tale from the boys. To learn the acorn swing
call Slats at BR-549 anytime after 6PM. Caution: Do not attempt
to practice on acorns unless you have had instructions, you might put an
eye out. |

Rick-O-Meter: Are you
playing well? poorly? Well there is now a way to judge your
play, simply use the Rick-O-Meter. The Rick-O-Meter is named for
the our former course superintendant Rick Walsh. Here is how it works:
Did you get beat by Rick today? If the answer is yes,
your game is very suspect. Well not really suspect, it sucks!
Did Rick tie you today? Oh my, what a disaster.
Your game really needs some refinement. Perhaps you should visit
Slats and learn the untold secrets of the acorn swing.
Did you beat Rick today? If you said yes, you are now
a member of a huge group of golfers. It is rumored to run at
99% of the worldwide golfing population.
