Keepers Vet Guest Day
With the help of our good friend Steve Greiner, the PGA Professional who runs the Links To Freedom Program, a bunch of Keepers got to spend a delightful afternoon hacking it around the zoysia with six retired Military Veterans who have been associated with his fine program at Fort Belvoir.
Artie Aronoff, Steve Keller, Moe Dweck, Keith Eig, and Sol Gordon sponsored the visit of these vets and together we shared lunch, golf, and lots of big fish stories in a day of Keepers Kamaraderie.
Andy and David were gracious enough to have Woodmont comp the guest fees for these veterans to facilitate the afternoon. Special thanks to Konnor Farrell for being our liason to Steve and the Links To Freedom in arranging for today’s festivities.
Needless to say we have an increased appreciation of the kontribution these guys have made to our freedom and security with their personal sacrifices and dedication. Cedric, Tony, Dan, Jimmy, Marion, and Clarence certainly appreciated the opportunity to enjoy the hospitality of Woodmont. Best part was we forged new friendships with a bunch of guys that can only come from missing three footers together “that we always make”.
Herbie’s Ace
Here is a grin for you!
Few things are sweeter then your first hole-in-one, even if you had to wait a long, long time for it to finally happen.
And on his 87th Birthday too….hands of the golf goddesses at work.
So it was this week for one our most sagely Keepers when Herbie Cherner’s Callaway found the bottom of the tin on the 4th of the South. Of course he was wearing his smart looking Keeper’s Shirt which is only appropriate.
Congratulations Young Herbie!!

Keepers Last Supper-2017
The year end celebration was a festive evening of Hot Shoppes Fare and swapping big fish tales from the Keepers X season. Besides the Mighty Moes, Teen Twists, Root Beer Floats, and Hot Fudge Ice Cream Cakes that were konsumed en masse, the 47 people attending got to hear about the Links To Freedom Army Rehab Program at Fort Belvoir from our guest speaker , the program director, Steve Greiner and his associate Jose Gonzales. This is one of the many organizations we support through our kommunity service initiatives that serve the needs of returning veterans and their families.
We also managed to find time to hand out the hardware to the deserving winners of this year’s Keepers Kup, Kup Finale, Alternate Shot Series, and Match Play. A good bit of well intentioned needling accompanied the presentation ceremonies.

Krieg: In Memorium
Arthur Blitz loved his Keepers nickname. Fact is Arthur loved everyone’s nickname. Nicknames kind of set a fraternal tone that made The Keepers such a lure for him. He loved playing golf but loved the idea of sharing the experience of golf with friends even more.
To those who knew him well, Arthur’s appetite for reading golf, watching golf, and talking about golf was insatiable. For him The Keepers were a natural fit. Arthur was all in on The Keepers koncepts-komraderie, kompetition, and kommunity service. The traditions, etiquette, and rules of the game presented so many conundrums that stoked Arthur’s curiousity.
Arthur was intensely interested in improving his game and worked at it every day. The resiliency of his attitude on the golf course was something special. No matter what just happened, he was convinced that the next shot he was going to play would be his best shot ever. This positive enthusiasm was contagious and made it a joy to spend time with him on the course.
Our kommunity service initiatives had a special place in Arthur’s heart. Whether it was outings for the Wounded Veterans, a mentor day with First Tee Kids, or just raising money for worthy charities, he brought an infectious enthusiasm to everything we did.
For Arthur, golf with his buddies was as good as it gets. He was a regular on destination golf trips and this is how most of us got to know him-his warmth, intelligence, and devotion to his friends.
In the words of fellow Keeper Joe Baldinger, “Arthur was the quintessential sage old lawyer, low key, yet focused, golf competitor and all around kind and decent man. His passing does create a void in our band of golfers as he was a sterling character amongst a sea of tarnished individuals.”
More than anything, Arthur Blitz was our good friend and we will miss him.
There will be one less set of footprints in the dew laden fairways early in the morning, but we will hold in our hearts as a blessing the fond memories of him and of good times we spent together.
Keepers Travel Gallery
The Keepers Logo continually wends it’s way around the planet as our faithful travel with friends and spouses to distant destinations in pursuit of one more check-off from the personal travel bucket list.
This gallery celebrates the seeding of the Keepers Word to new, potentially unrevealed bastions of Keeperdom. It is amazing how appropriate Keepers Klothing has proven to be in all climates and ecosystems as you can witness below.
Keepers Klothing 2017
Just back from the Runway Ramp Reviews in Europe, The Keepers fashion operatives have assembled samples of the Footjoy Spring Performance Lines that will make up the Keepers Klothing Kollection for 2017.
This year’s kollection will include (2) Short Sleeve Performance Polos-one solid navy with white stripe trim and one navy/gray space dyed print-and the Keeper’s choice of a 1/2 Zip Long Sleeve Navy Pullover or a 1/2 Zip Vest Solid Navy Vest. The two over pieces have contrast trims in the zipper and the collar for a smart match with the short sleeve tops.
Besides the new Keepers X hat, every Keepers will get a Footjoy golf glove with an attached magnetic Keepers Kosher K ball marker. Anyone can choose to get both 1/2 Zips and simply pay a additional $48 for the second piece or supplement their personal inventory of golf gloves for the year by paying $13 a piece for extra gloves (an $18 retail value in the shop). Please indicate if you want the additional stuff when you verify your sizes.
All the Footjoy fashion pieces come from the performance section of the Footjoy Spring Catalog and should fit generously like the similar pieces from 2016 Keepers Under Armour Kollection.

Keepers Klothing 2016
The Keepers Kouture Kommittee has been out around assembling The Keeper Look for 2016. Swept up in the Jordan Spieth vortex they have selected three unique items for our members from the Spring Under Armour Golf Collection. The KKK has chosen a Reversible Medal Play Vest in a Black/Steel combination, a stealth grey Long Sleeve 1/4 zip Club Fleece Top, and a Short Sleeve Scratch Plaid Polo in the same color.
These three pieces can be worn in multiple permutations and the bonus is that they will definitely go with the grey Keepers hat and black and grey Keepers short sleeve wind shirt from 2015 that already adorn your wardrobe. Like Domino Pizza combinations, the fashion possibilities seem endless.
All three pieces are listed in the Under Armour catalog as “Loose Fitting” which is their politically korrect way of saying they should fit men of our demographic generously like the quality brand name garments The Keepers have provided in the past from Millar or Martin. Each comes in the one color shown so no decisions need to be made on your part except the size. All three are available in S, M, L, XL, 2XL.
