HOWELL, MI  SEPTEMBER 16, 2001 

Dick Schild shot a 93 (net 67) to claim the Tri-State golf league tournament championship at Timber Trace GC in Pinckney, Michigan.  With Ron Dooley's regular season golf  title and Kelley Kuehne's and Greg Dooley's TSFL title, Rick's win ensured that Aficionados hold all three known Tri-State racks.  To put this in context, think Tiger Woods holding all four majors.

Besides leaving Mr. Snappy and Mr. Toejangles at home, the key to the win was his decision to leave his pull-over jacket on despite temperatures in the high 70's.  When he shanked 2 shots after removing the jacket, Rick decided to deal with the heat and put it back on.  Thereafter it was smooth sailing for the newly crowned Champ.  Pretty slick, Rick.
