It’s Black Friday for some, but Turkey Bowl for those of us who have an annual golf game scheduled. FXExpress Publications, Inc. friends and family gathered at an old haunt, Cream Ridge Golf Club, the perfect location for meeting as it is not too far from Philadelphia and easily reached for those coming from New York. When the day was done, Steve Montgomery from Yardley took the trophy and promised to add all the missing names 2015–now! The trophy dates back some 28 years, when it was first awarded, but the bowl has been going even longer.

The highlight of the day was the post-tailgate party, where we celebrated and laughed while enjoying designer cheeses, cured meats and craft beer. Of course, we must not forget the pinnacle achievement made by yours truly on Hole No. 2 at Cream Ridge. I scoped the hole at 118 years and was hesitant to use a pitching wedge, so I switched to a nine iron. First on the tee, I swung away to comments from John Ecklund and John Kelley — “That looks like a good shot.” The ball bounced on the front right edge of the green and rolled to the pin. John Ecklund asked, “Did that go in?” Hence, forever in Turkey Bowl legend, will be the hole in one by Francis X. Gallagher.
