    Our beer commercials don’t contain this many references to beer

  4. Dee McDonald says:

    Love playing with this guy. Couldn’t ask for a better teammate who’s drama free and just flat out hits the crap out of the ball. By the way, I think Bedford should be the best tournament…for the record.
