IAGT Meet & Greet Event

Good Day Friends! Welcome to IAGT tour where players are more excited to see each other than even the Seinfeld characters….

Today’s IAGT Newsletter is penned by Shekhar Tewatia. We thank him for his time & effort!!

Nothing can bring on a blush quite like watching your well-mannered pup suddenly transform into a dogged derriere detective, thrusting his nose into the nether regions of both pets and people. But why do dogs smell butts?  According to the experts, Dogs can smell adrenaline and pheromones, which can help them determine whether their companion is a friend or foe and whether they should fight, flee, or play.

Humans have a distinct advantage over canines to indulge in verbal interaction, ranging from small talk to ripping each other’s hearts out over seasonal political differences. Regardless the organizers of IAGT recognize that this tournament isn’t a feeder event for LIV golf but an opportunity for bonhomie. Towards that goal, a Meet and Greet event for this year’s tournament will be held at Prairie Landings Clubhouse on April 15^th from 11am - 1pm (RSVP @ http://evite.me/FEkrKjcVyb)

It’s a little better to turn up at an IAGT event and rather than shake hands with a virtual stranger to be greeted by the smell of white homemade butter melting on Gobhi Parathas because Nitin Sohil who you never knew existed before IAGT actually checked out the pairings and traded a promise to go to Vaishno Devi with the in-laws to get you some treats before Tee-Off.

The meet and greet event may or may not be a trojan horse. You will be wined and dined and offered SCHWAG bags and just as you are about to be lulled into the feeling of luxurious bliss, the tournament rules committee will lay the smackdown. No mulligans!!! Not if it’s your birthday, not if your pet Chihuahua got deported, not even if one of your foursomes’ telephone went off mid-swing and he had that shrill MTNL ringtone for nostalgia’s sake!! Tough titty!! They can’t GIVE you a putt from a foot away even if you are 45 strokes over and counting and about to slash your wrists behind a porta-potty!! So while you sit there with your mouth open in horror, old hands like Manik are guffawing and smacking their lips very much like the gangbangers at a state penitentiary when the new white collar crimes inmates are marched in.

Last but not the least, this tournament benefits from having sponsors. The ones we have were finely filtered from a deluge of applicants including but not limited to a Monthly Mail Order Gutkha Club, FRY (flatulence reduction yoga) Classes, WearItAgain Hawaii Chappals (yes they are located behind a famous suburban temple) and Astrologer Atul.U.SubKuch. So while our sponsors offer services catered to improving your life or simplifying it (so you can play more golf), they also are fairly colorful themselves. One of them carries Vodka filled Hookahs in his trunk for emergency parties, another is on first name basis with bartenders at gastropubs in the neighboring 3 counties and a third yet caused his elementary school to stop admitting boys after he got done. Do you really want to miss the opportunity to hear these guys out given their colorful resumes in an attempt to score fresh Tindora at Patel Bros on a otherwise dull Saturday afternoon ?”
