The Militi Open

Joe Militi was a really good guy. He passed away a few years ago, but over the last 20 years we have gathered in September to play golf as a group of friends.

We were way understaffed this year! 2020 is a real pain!

But 8 of us made sure that we still played a couple of rounds.

There were two condos available so we were all able to sleep in our own room...

...and we wore our masks unless we were on the course.

We played this year at Alexandria Bay at the Thousand Island Country Club.

A great (but tough course) and a lot of laughs. I had a 4 hour ride so...

...I got out of the car a little stiff.

Stiff when you’re swinging isn’t great.

But as usual, there were good shots and bad shots and shots in between.

I chipped one in from 30-40 yards out, and actually got fired up for that.

But we raised our glasses and toasted old Joe...

...and we told a few stories of the glory days.

“We gotta’ keep traditions alive,” my buddy mentioned.

Exactly.

Even in 2020.

The weirdest year we’ll ever live through.
