The early line on this year’s 2024 Home Track Open - This Sunday, at 10:30 am at the Grand Prairie Golf Course. 
 
Thommy "Mr Par 3" Davidson - 5x Champ, does new job = new game, I think not. The little fellas mood has improve but often distracted by his partner in league play causing inconsistent play  - 8 to1
 
Mike "SpOt" Galovan – Back-to-Back Champ, Will there be a 3-peat?  Let's hope not, has had the trophy on tour for 2 years now, thus becoming a celebrity in the greater Plainwell area, sometimes fame goes to one's head as in this case and play suffers - 4 to 1  
 
Sean "Herbal" Micklin - Has taken the game serious this year and his scores reflects that. But on and off the course rituals are in question  - 3 to 1
 
Randy "Lefty" Mark - The Lefty is crowd favorite, play of late has been outstanding due to new exercise routine. This veteran is back to his prime, but will it be enough? - 2 to 1
 
Caleb "Big Shooter" Scheenstra - Big hitter on a short track not good. Putting has improved but will it be enough to be in the mix - 10 to 1
 
Jason "Plainwell's Finest" Lahmeyer - Has talent but will he bring it? Seems to handle pressure but large field this year could hinder his chances  - 5 to 1
 
Jamie "Bam Bam" Cross - Mr. Noncommittal, will he show? You never know but when he does, he comes to win, you can count him in or out - 10 to 1
 
Jeff "Ageless Wonder" Kozacki - Has game but father time not on his side. Soon to be retired, will he rise up one more time or be headed to a retirement community  - 12 to 1
 
Steve "Smoothy" Copeland - Has a Grandpa swing that is smooth but high anxiety and pressure issues may limit his performance again - 15 to 1
 
Tommy "2 Times" Cox - Back from the Arizona Senior League, but a 7 year absence, bad back and sphincter issues limit him but by his mouth you would never know  - 20 to 1  
 
Jeff "Flip Flop" Arnold - Joined the league, padded his handicap, not a big hitter but that's not needed at the Home Track. Lacks confidence in one’s own ability - 30 to 1 
 
Ted "Theodore" Roethlisberger - High handicap, straight ball hitter, can he connect the dots this year? Conditioning has improved but will it enough? - 4 to 1 
 
Mike "Prima Donna" Beals - Need I say more? - Out
 
Tom "The Rock" Howe - Has a "prior" commitment but really intimidated by the high level of competition - out
 
Brett "Long Shot" Dodds - Limited play this year, off the course habits in question, will fade late - 50 to 1  
 
Timmy "Little" Galovan - Recent newlywed but that didn't fix the issues of erratic play, mental stamina or his commitment to golf  - 15 to 1
 
Dave "Capt" Hoogerheide -  Mentally there, but physically not, game has suffered as of late but is a true competitor, don't count him out  - 20 to 1
 
Mark "Unsteady" Eddy - Coach? You still there? Has yet to responded from last year, expected response TBD??? - NL
 
John "Slim Shady" Steigenberg - Small in stature but a big hitter, short game issues as of late have plague last years runner up. Can he step it up? - 4 to 1
Esmen "Speedy" Gonzalez - Big man with butter hands, sloppy inconsistent play to green, but can putt with the best of them when focused - 8 to 1
 
Pierce "Rookie" Vreeland - Long ball hitter but not needed at this track. Can he dial it back and find his short game. Time will tell - 6 to 1
 
Jeff "Spankey" Burch - Pressure? can this new comer handle it? Can play but seems to fold when the heat is on, must put on the blinders to avoid the distractions- 12 to 1 
 
Marc "Champ" VanLent  - The original 3X Champ but since the handicap rule change, has faded into history and may never be a factor again.- 100 to 1
 
Tom "KC's Finest" Farrell - Has game but will he show. Nobody knows - NL
