The early line on this year’s 2025 Home Track Open - 

This Sun at 10:00am @ the Grand Prairie Golf Course

Thommy "Mr. Par 3" Davidson - 5x Champ, but the little fella has a little hick-up in his giddy up this year. Game declining, erratic play, age and conditioning becoming an issue. Can a shot of Jamison bring him back to the forefront? 

12 to 1 

Mike "Sp0t" Galovan - former Back to Back Champ but plagued by neck/throat injury due to venturing onto the Grinder scene. Claims he will have the neck brace off and be good to go.

8 to 1  

Sean "Herbal" Micklin - Blew out his bicep in a early preseason personal at home golf ritual, trying to make a comeback but some dreams just go up in smoke. 

6 to 1

Randy "Lefty" Mark - This Lefty is crowd favorite, but has a lot of oars in the water, off track distractions along with the higher than normal temps could be a factor.

5 to 1

Caleb "Big Shooter" Scheenstra - Out before he was in this year, injury leaves him on IR 

NL

Jason "Plainwell's Finest" Lahmeyer - Has grit and determination, not fazed by a rough track but rarely plays well at the Home Track.

20 to 1

Jamie "Bam Bam" Cross - Mr. Noncommittal, should be there? Always a mystery, just like his game, it's either on or off. Don't hold your breath, just wait and see.

8 to 1

Jeff "Ageless Wonder" Kozacki - Is he in the retirement community already? Severely absent in league play, is it a dislike of his partner or prefers to now to wear tight padded shorts, funny shoes and a helmet.

4 to 1

Steve "Smoothy" Copeland - Has been playing "old man" golf for years but now aliments are creeping in. Will the latest hold him back? Ice, Motrin and BENGAY® needed.

10 to 1

Tommy "2 Times" Cox - bad back and chronic sphincter issues limit him . . . but does not limit his flapping pie hole. Talks a big talk but can't back it up anymore.

30 to 1 

Jeff "Flip Flop" Arnold - not a big hitter but that's not needed at the Home Track. Lacks confidence in one’s own ability, therapy in progress but could be too late.

50 to 1 

Ted "Theodore" Roethlisberger - Late scratch because of other commitments.

NL  

Mike "Prima Donna" Beals - Last year's 1st loser & will play if weather is good? Lacks grit, determination and the mental fortitude to ever be a factor. 

100 to 1

Tom "The Rock" Howe - Been playing in the dirt this year more than hitting the links. Is he still in to win, or too many distractions got him going a stray. - 25 to 1 

Brett "Long Shot" Dodds - scratch  

NL

Timmy "Little" Galovan - erratic play, mental stamina and his commitment to golf has suffered as of late.  Will he get it together in time?

5 to 1

Dave "Capt" Hoogerheide -  Mentally and physically ready, game is on as of late, a true competitor, can win it all?

3 to 1

Mark "Unsteady" Eddy - Coach? You still there? Has yet to responded for a couple years.

NL

John "Slim Shady" Steigenberg - Last year's Champion. Small in stature but a big hitter, always plays to win and performs well when the pressure is on. Still trying to grow into the green jacket though.

2 to 1

Esmen "Speedy" Gonzalez - Big man with butter hands, 2025 league MVP. Can putt with the best, but will his off the track habits be a factor. Who will show up?

4 to 1

Pierce "Straight out of Gobles" Vreeland - Long ball hitter but not needed at this track. Erratic play, easily derailed, can he stay focused for 9? Time will tell.

6 to 1

Jeff "Spankey" Burch - "Finished Dead Ass Last" last year. Very disappointing showing but can only go up from there. Will he bring more effort and heart?

40 to 1

Marc "Champ" VanLent  - The original 3X Champ, but bad back – out

NL

Tom "KC's Finest" Farrell - Talks a lot shit but can he back it up. Knows the course, can play the game but will he show?

10 to1

Mike "New & Improved " Koning - Quiet, consistent and smooth. Surgically repaired, back to full strength, and ready to lay it down.

3 to 1
