Atwood/Oglebay Payment Information, Confirmed Roster and Potential Cabin Assignments

Dear Duffers,

With just under three months to go until the Atwood tradition is revisited, revitalized, and realized, there's just one more thing you must do.  It is now time (although I know some of you have accomplished this already --The Committee thanks you) to either send a check or call and leave credit card information to reserve your place in a cabin!

Once again, the amount with tax is $268.63:
Contact info is: Oglebay Resort and Conference Center, Attn: Will Clinch, 465 Lodge Dr., Wheeling, WV 26003.   Phone: 304-243-4000.

Here is a potential Cabin/rooming list .  You may move around as you wish but remember each cabin houses 8, or shall I say each cabin charges for 8.  If you don't see your name and you're receiving this communique, The Committee assumes you're not participating and have a good life!

Here are the six Cabins with their possible rosters:  Work it out between yourselves if you want to change Cabins and/or have one person collect the money and send it in "in total". One of you may want the credit card  points?!

Cabin#1:  John Ference, J.Sheets,V. Sharbaugh, J.Kubinski, D.Kibler, F.Pisanelli, A.Rodriquez( Zorro), Stealth.

Cabin#2:  Jeff Ference, Not Smitty, Lonegro, Hensley, Kluth, Big White, Hookah Man.

As you can count- we have four openings:  This is the list of Duffers participating in this years 5th. Major.  OGLEBAY WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYONE  NOT ON THIS LIST!  New entrees must come through The Committee and by that I mean SEND your $60 entry fee to me.

Atwood Update - 12/12/2017

December 7, 2017

Date:  May 4-6, 2017

Dear Duffers:    Three Items.

(1)      The good news is that within 2 weeks of the launch of Atwood XLI , 31 Duffers, with obviously no life(s)  have committed ($) to attending.  What that means is based on our commitment to Oglebay AND the Atwood format ( ABCD ) we have room for 17 more participants .  Although we can and have in the past taken more, it has to be in derivatives of 8 (2 teams of 4) so if you want in, without the possibility of being put on a wait list (until if and when we get 8 more) send your $60 check made out and sent to: 

John Ference
8517 Settlers Passage
Brecksville, Ohio
44141

MUST BE RECEIVED BY JAN. 1, 2017.  By contract, Oglebay needs our commitment of at least 48 by that date!

(2)     Each Cabin houses 8 and those committed can start putting their Cabin together.  Once you have 8, let The Committee know, which brings us to point 3.

(3)     The $240 that needs to be sent to Oglebay by Feb. 1, 2017 was written in error.  It's $268.63 (tax) 

IN CONCLUSION, get your confirmation in, organize your Cabin and start getting ready for Atwood XLI !   

P.S. in addition to the 31 Duffers already committed,  7 past HOF members who for one reason or another can't golf will be joining us for the festivities !  

Insincerely,

X

The Committee 

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Dear Duffers:

As the subject of this email states, the Band is back together and after 8 years and numerous life changing events (mostly to or concerning Sheets-or the Ferguson Familia----shocker I know).  ATWOOD lives on!
     
During this arduous 8 year drought, rumors persisted concerning the availability, renovation and reunification of the Atwood Tradition!  Nothing but bad news and delays followed.  The Committee continued to meet with the idea of keeping the Atwood Dream alive and finally the clouds parted and the infinite patience and wisdom of the Committee were revealed!

Consequently, Atwood XLI will happen,

DATE:  May 4-6, 2018

LOCATION:  Oglebay, WV
( Cross Creek, PA was on the short list but the Committee found it lacking the essential "environment" that would lead to a successful Atwood.  Oglebay resort gives us better living conditions, 3 golf courses, and in reality being 80 miles south, a much better shot at good weather early in May.

DETAILS: 
Everyone can check the Oglebay website. However, we will all be residing in Cabins.  Each Cabin has 4 bedrooms with 2 double beds in each= 8 people per cabin.  In addition to the 4 bedrooms, each Cabin has a large living room and 2 large bathrooms.

The golfing format will stay the same-each team will consist of an A B C and D player and play 3 rounds of 9 holes before the top 4 teams will play a 9 hole semi-final and the winning 2 teams will play 9 holes to determine the Champs.  Also, unless the Championship team returns intact (Aggers, Smith, DC Calley, Joel) there will not be a defending Champion team!  We will play 2 rounds on Friday, May 4.  1 round on Saturday morning to be followed by the playoffs.

COST:  Please pay attention Smitty!  There will be a 2 tier payment.
Tier #1--Each duffer will be assessed a $240 tariff--this covers room (2 nights) golf ( 18 holes on Friday and Saturday ) with carts.  There are NO rebates for those  of you who want to leave Saturday night or only want to play 9 holes on Saturday.  Obviously, on its face, this is more money than 8 years ago but when you take to account everything this covers at a place that's way beyond what we endured at Atwood, it is what it is!  Also, did we mention  that it's been 8 years?  As mentioned, each cabin houses 8 people and you'all can figure out whose in your cabin now and after we get the final list of duffers confirmed.  That money will be paid to Oglebay and isn't due to Feb. 1, 2018.  DON'T send it until the new year.

Tier #2--  this is the confirmation money ( you're in) that needs to be sent to the Committee by Jan. 1,2018.  That cost is $60 and covers (1) food for dinners Friday & Saturday, (2) beer-kegs, (3) booze/mix and (4) Prize money 

The Committee is looking for 48 golfers!  The fact that we get more or less doesn't change the cost structure.  This email will be sent to those who have attended in the past .  Rookies NEED to be cleared with the Committee and will only be accepted on an "as needed/wanted basis"

In conclusion:  if you want to be a part of keeping the Atwood Spirit alive, send $60 to:  

The Committee
8517 Settlers Passage
Brecksville, Ohio 44141

In addition, please send YOUR contact email address and any duffers that have moved or haven't attended for awhile to Nick Ference @ jnf56@hotmail.com
     
P.S.  Usually, the Committee ends the letter with " if you have any questions, concerns or comments DON'T come" however, after 8 years and numerous changes, questions MAY be entertained at:

DOA-Director of Administration-John Ference @Jnf82@gmail.com
DOG-Director of Golf-Jerry Sheets @ jerrysheets22@gmail.com
