2012 Olney Tournament Players Needed

Posted by Tom Wendorf at Jul 7, 2012 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
Notice to all OTS players 65 to 75.
 
The league is trying to put together a team in the 65-70 age group (Johnny Allen) and the 70-75 age group (Tommy Farrah) for the Olney Tournament on July 15th.  Both teams are short several players and need a few more.  In Olney, we play three games almost to back to back, so it is better to have about 13 players on each team.  If you are interested and have not already notified the managers, please contact them by Friday 7/6 so they will have time to get a couple practice games in.  If we cannot field the team(s), we will forfeit money.  Thanks.

2012 OTS Officer Elections Procedure Change

Posted by Tom Wendorf at Jul 7, 2012 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
 
This summer, we elect the league officers.  This will take place in August, each player will receive a ballot (those with e-mail will receive theirs on line).  The procedure for submitting your ballots will be announced at that time.
There is a change in the terms of the officers.  In the past, all 4 Executive Committee members (President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary) were elected at the same time.  The managers accepted the recommendation this year to stagger the terms of these officers to ensure continuity from year to year, rather than have all 4 possibly be newly elected the same year.  So, here's what we'll be doing:
This year, we will elect the President and Treasurer for 2 year terms, and will elect the Vice President and Secretary for a 1 year term.  Then, starting next year, the V/P and Secretary will be elected to 2 year terms.  We will then have an election each year for the 2 positions whose terms expire.  Even years will be Pres and Treas, odd years will be V/P and Sec.
If anyone is interested in running for any of these positions, please notify me so your name can be placed on the ballot.  As of July 6, the 4 incumbents (Bo, Tom, Keith and I) are on the ballot for re-election to their current positions.  All players are eligible to run for office.

OTS Golf Tourney Big Success

Posted by Tom Wendorf at Nov 2, 2011 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

Just a quick note to let everyone know how our golf tournament turned out.  It was a huge success, weather was terrific and the course in great shape.  We had 68 golfers, many from OTS but also several groups from outside OTS.  We turned a profit of $1300 for the league.

We'll discuss exactly how the money will be used, but our initial thinking is putting it in a seperate account specifically for upgrading the fields (new infield on both).  That is estimated to be about $8000, so we're well on our way with this one event.

Special thanks to Pat Sherry and Johnny Allen for coming to help sell tickets, put a line on the fairway (not the straightest I've ever seen ! ! !) and draw the door prize tickets.  Also to Deer Run Golf Club, Taylors Restaurant in Ocean Pines and the Ocean View Family Restaurant (Johnny Walker) for their donations of prizes for tournament winners and golfing contests.

Jesse Bare and his team won the tournament - good job ! ! !

And thank you to all the OTS golfers who participated and supported this event.

Bo, Carmine and Dick

2011 OTS Awards and Picnic

Posted by Tom Wendorf at Sep 26, 2011 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

The 2011 OTS player awards were given at the 2100 Fall Picnic by President Bo Wood.  They include the "Put on Base Award" to Pat Sherry for intentionally walking in the winning run in a league game.  The "Most Times in the Dirt Award" to Brian Marrin for getting onto the ballfield dirt as a player and umpire more times than any other OTS er.  The "Comeback Player of the Year Award" to Chris Ligenfelder for not letting a serious back injury from playing in the 2011 OTS Summer League.  And finally the "Morrie Award"  to Dick Mullins, as the OTSer who gave unlimited time and outstanding contributions as a player, manager, and officer currently and over the past years.

 The picnic was very succesful as the beer ran out before all were ready to go home.  Thanks to all who gave a great deal of time and effort setting up and cleaning up.
