The Furman University Purple/White golf league is open to any member of the Furman faculty and staff.  The league matches are on Tuesday afternoons (4:50 first tee time) from April - August.  It is a great way to meet members of the faculty and staff, while enjoying a round of golf.  Skill is not required!!!
This year the Purple team defeated the White team to defend the league trophy.
Below are some pictures from the end of the year party:


Purple team members Diane Alexander (center) and Evelyn Onofrio (r) discuss the differences between chipping and putting when on the fringe.  Purple team member Marie Burgess (background) refuses to listen to the discussion because she realizes nothing will change her expertize around the greens.
 

White team member Boyd Yarbrough begs Commisioner John Burns to give him a medical
exemption for the 2007 P/W season because he does not want to go through the rigorous
qualifying procedure - playing 1 round with each member of the President's Council.

 
White team member Steve Long, always the gentleman, asks Evelyn to wipe the mustard
off her lip and chin (actually it's the sun shining on last years MVP)!
 

Purple team members George Lipscomb (l) and Dave Steinhour enjoy their beverage
of choice as they listen to Commissioner John Burns lecture on proper golf
etiquette and fair play.


Purple team member Randy Eggenspiller (l) cannot control himself after White team
member and Facilities Services cohort Jeff Redderson asks him for direction
concerning the "Year of the Environment".


Redderson and Eggenspiller were the big winners in this years raffle.  Commissioner
 burns is checking with the PGA to see if they lost their amateur status after receiving
$1500.00 in cash and prizes!


Burns (l), Burgess (c) and White team member Scott Derrick are stunned when Purple
team member Tom Triplitt (face missing) reports Cherrydale (Alumni Office headquarters)
will be the new Playhouse, while the "temporary" Playhouse will become the new
Alumni Office.
 

White team captain Vince Moore (front left) contemplates his future after his teams
3rd straight losing season.  Purple team member Bing Vick (front right) wants to
know when the noose will be put around Vince's neck.  White team members
Long (l - r), Jason Strand and Randy "Dandruff" Dill express different facial expressions
to the Moore lynching.



Purple team member John Barker (r) asks White team member Kirk Karwan how to
properly grow a mustache.


League MVP Clint Hill accepts his trophy (can you tell which is which)!


Jean Adams and Commissioner Burns enjoying the party.


Jean Adams (background) makes sure she gets her bid in for a date with one of
the Chippendale models that attended the party, while Diane Alexander and Susuan
Presto enjoy the "scenery".


Tom Triplitt shows off hie "Take Up Tennis Award".  Unfortunately for the White
team, Tom played way too much tennis this year and not enough golf.


Debbie Stegall (l) and Steve Long (r) receive their awards from Commissioner Burns.


New employee Jason Strand (r) asks John Barker, Director of Career Services to give
him the top 10 ways to make your employee think you are working while playing
golf.


Dave Steinhour (l) and Kirk Karwan discuss the probabilty of fiberoptic cables ruining
the economy in third world countries.


Evelyn Onofrio (kneeling) asks Susan Presto if she's excited about her upcoming
marriage!


If there's a party, Student Services personnel will be there - Alexander, Derrick
and Yarbrough.  What happened to Barker?

Kirk Karwan accepts Rookie of the Year honors from JB.


Ken Pettus trying to re-shape the trophy to match his swing plain.  Commissioner Burns
explains to Ken that David Ledbetter couldn't duplicate his swing plain.


Somebody wake up Tom Allen!!!  The result of good food, fine spirits and a Purple
team awards ceremony.


Somebody has to win the MVP for the Other Team award - John Barker's actual stance and
swing were shaped for the trophy.  Even that stance and swing made Ken Pettus laugh.


"Look Odom, I'm getting tired of handing you this trophy", white team captain Vince
Moore is heard saying.  "You should be ashamed to accept this trophy because your
team carried your sorry butt all year".


Let's AUCTION.  The leagues fastest talker, Scott Derrick start the bidding wars as he
peddles his wares.


Even Dianne Alexander won't bid on some of Scott's junk!


Oh to be young and foolish!!


When I talk, or ask for bids, I expect quiet.  Don't make me get the Commissioner to throw you
out!
