Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 07, 2023

P4- (Luke): “Sorry I’m late guys. Here Cami, I found your wallet in the parking lot. Don’t lose it again.”

And Gil shows the winning swing that he teaches every year to the junior golfers at MCC. “Remember – first you shout ‘Fore!’, and then you listen for the ‘Sploosh!’”

Poppycock. Balderdash. Hogwash.

I have to admit, WICK is a pretty good sound effect for a drive.

P1 “In fact, eight out of seven of us think hiring Luke Martinez is a bad idea.”

P 2: Let’s watch the language coach

P 2 (Gil): “… yeah… I heard that when I hired you too Cami…”

Sploosh! Isn’t that what Ericka tells Emily after the 1st bottle of s’mores wine.

“All of us” Cami you two are the ONLY other coaches right now, with Luke being the fourth. It’s weird phrasing. I do like this conflict though and given he spent his every waking hour previously trying to destroy gil, I can’t blame them.

‘Sploosh’……….That’s what happens when you talk as he’s teeing off.

P2: Right in the lumberyard!

Ooh, I was right when I said “Off to Milford CC!” on Saturday. But doesn’t look like we’ll spend the whole summer (what’s left of it) here. And speaking of looks, it looks like the latest Mopped Up Thorp is online.

I thought Luke was only coaching wrestling.

All of us? I count only two of you.

Gil and company are about to get thrown out of the local Put-Put course. At least we know the vote is 2 to 2 with Gil getting the deciding vote. Now, we can move on with the story and find Luke, the Wrestling Coach, inexplicably involved with Football.

For those of us wanting golf, just take it in…

Fast forward to the last football game of the season. Milford vs VT for the championship. Gil collapses on the field. As he’s loaded into the ambulance, he calls Luke over. Luke, it’s my heart. Take my place today. Win one for the zipper.

P 2.5 (Gil): “…AND BOTH OF YOU!….SHUT YOUR ‘EFFIN PIEHOLES WHILE I’M HITTING MY DRIVE! …”

Geez, we read enough about conference realignment in the media without the faint equivalent of it occurring in Milford.
