Almeda, Mark |
"Big Al" as he is affectionately known to the
ladies was the stunt double for Jan Michael Vincent in epic surfing movie Big
Wednesday. Big Al decided to pass on the TV series Airwolf,
as his religious beliefs differed with Ernest Borgnine.
This was a costly mistake for Big Al, as director
Donald P. Bellisario went on to produce such great
shows as Quantum Leap, JAG and Navy NCIS. |
Baldwin, Joe |
Unlike brother Jack, Joe’s athletic prowess ended at the tender age of ten playing baseball in Vanick’s lot. Oh how he misses the mid ‘70s. Joe, or Broadway, as he is commonly called is a fierce competitor with a mind like a steel trap. |
Biddle, Chris |
Former lead singer of the 80’s Cover Band – AWESOME, Mr.
Biddle now considers himself a green entrepreneur. From creating and manufacturing his own
soaps right out of his Kirkland home, much to the chagrin of Mrs. Biddle, to
manufacturing his own private label bio diesel –BIDeisel. He is a true pioneer! |
Brown, Ian |
Ian "Silky" Brown is a former world class Polish
wrestler and trained Olympic gold medalist Rulan
Gardner. This is Silky's first Bandon Cup and we
know he will bring his "A" golf and gambling game. If you are an
opponent expect to have your wallet cleaned out by this chap. |
Carr, Ryan |
Former king of Crossroads Gridiron, Ryan now bilks poor old ladies out of their hard earned money. Even today, well into his mid 30’s, he can also be seen at nightclubs dropping change on the ground, picking it up and looking up women’s skirts. You can’t blame a guy for not giving up a good thing. Handicap is 3.9. |
Christian, Matt |
MC or Hammer, can’t touch Christian, is a well known Jock and broker in the Puget Sound area. This former male pinup model now spends time working with a very large loom, creating sweaters, socks, caps and mittens for former eastern block women gymnasts. Matt’s feet and meaty ankles created the socks prototype. Handicap is 8.1. |
Faul, Chris |
Not to be confused with Chris Paul, the hoops player from
Wake Forest, this guy is the next Bob Villa, or perhaps master carpenter Norm
Abrahms. Don't think he has the necessary plumbing
skills to be as good as Rich Trethewy, Master
Plumber. Chris likes plumb bombing for granny smith apples in a bowl of
Cristal. Handicap is 220 or 221, whatever it takes. |
Gilliland, John |
Commonly mistaken as Gertrude on JP Patches, John spends
much of his spare time honing his Lawn Dart skills. He hopes to make the 2007
Regionals in Connell Washington, home of the Double Eagle Burger. Handicap is
16.4. |
Krastins, Nik |
Former rodie for Steel Dragon, was kicked off their “Badder
Than I Would Like To Be” tour due to salacious remarks about the religious
right. Has a hankering for ranch dressing and Rocky Mountain Oysters.
Handicap is 12. |
Lund, Knute |
Many you will remember Knute from his acting days in the 1986 James Cameron scifi thriller Aliens, where Knute starred as a little girl fleeing aliens. Too bad Carrie Henn received the notoriety. Not many people know that the alien creatures are just washed out and in need of a good bath, hippies from Eugene, Oregon. Go pump your own gas. Handicap is 5.8. |
Martin, Phil |
In many circumstances people think he is Dr. Phil, due to his in depth questioning and gossip hounding. These girl or homo (not that there is anything wrong with that) tendencies are very endearing. Our Phil likes antiquing, skinny skiing, going to bull fights on acid, midget bowling, and applying duct tape to various parts of his body. Handicap is 17.7. |
McDowall, John |
The defending 2006 Bandon Cup MVP is revered by most attorneys in the Northern Hemisphere and thought by many as the next Gerry Spence. Johnny Mac or MacDaddy has a penchant for scotch, old AWB (Average White Band) albums and cloves. Handicap is 8.1. |
Ottele, Jesse
|
SNot to be
confused with the former governer of Minnesota,
Jesse "The Body" , "Body", "Otter" or just
"Ott" is a world famous Commercial Real
Estate Broker and an on again off again bullpen coach for the Toledo Mudhens. Yes Jamie Farr recognized his talent for working
with pitchers at the College World Series. |
Pickering, Grant |
This former Suhugga Daddy knows how to pick out the Ho’s and came up with the popular line “She is a Ho, for sure.” Not one known for good personal hygiene, Grant is a dominant player in the Biotech Industry. He can also score you a bounty of little blue pills. Handicap is 12.9. |
Rasmussen, Rick |
Was a “Mule” for illegal aliens into the USA, but got caught by former Senator Kerry’s son who is a sergeant on the border patrol. And to answer your question the son has just as bad hair as the Senator’s. Rick was an all league AAU basketball player and had dreams of being a pro until he topped out at 5’11” and did not develop a jumpshot. Had to drop a dime on a former co-worker to avoid a trip to the big house. Handicap is 11.4. |
Sheppard, John |
Commonly referred to as “The Shep!” Did a nickel at Monroe State Penitentiary for stealing George August’s car. Who would have thought that the he was so well connected in the Seattle legal system. The Shep refers to his time at Monroe as very enlightening. Then spent a few months, plus a couple of weekend follow-ups, at Trembling Hills for personal reasons. Handicap is 15.0. |
Summers, Scott |
Worldwide leader of Amnesty International and a member of
the NRA. He gave Charleston Heston the quote
"From my cold dead hands!" His favorite time of year is the Fall.
Handicap is coming. |
Wilson, Christian |
Some time
referred to as "CW" "CDub" or
just "W", Mr. Wilson is a prime time golfer, entrepreneur, and bar
owner. In 5th grade W was escorted off campus as the teacher thought he was
an intruder due to his full beard. |

Bailey, Bruce |
Snails Bailes the Banker. Bruce has missed one Bandon Cup due to his wife’s 30 th birthday(squeeze). Bruce’s highlights of the cup are chocolate cake. Witnessed the aftermath of the Mike Dash meltdown on the 11 th hole of Pacific. |
Baldwin, Jack |
2 time champion of the Bandon Jacket. Jack was also runner up to Mr. McDowall in 2007. Jack has never missed a Bandon Cup. Favorite Bandon moment, aside from winning two tittles, was the put that beat his Brother. The architect of the beanie cap of 2002. |
Chinn, Patrick |
Many Bellevue women have fond memories of Mr. Chinn, from
his days as a hairstylist at Gene Juarez in the Galleria. Since this is a
family site, we cannot go into any details. Let’s just say many hearts were
broken when the “Hair Maverick”, as he was affectionately known went off the
market. Handicap is 12.9. |
Frauenheim, Joel |
Frownies Brownies: Human Wet Bar. Comes prepared every year and does battle. The anchor of the “ Americas squad”. No one gets their moneys worth like Frownies. Perfect attendance in the Bandon Cup. |
Grey, Mark |
Whereabouts is currently unknown, possibly on an oil rig
in his basement. Handicap is 20.4. |
Gurry, Dave |
How does that little guy hit the ball as far as he does?
Hole in one at Bandon #2 (with a different group) must be his Bandon Cup
highlight. Sure fire, every year Bandon player. |
Heily, Pat |
This will be Pat’s second trip to the Bandon Cup. Likes to send emails to the masses (in a good way). Heily can be seen on the cooking channel on Tuesdays at 1pm. Welcome back Pat! |
Knowles, Brad |
A Bandon Cup organizer for 6 years, Brad has taken a leave
of absents from his post. Still on the Board of Trustees for the “ Americas”, and is very much in the circle of trust. Brad
has been training in Hawaii for the past 6 months and we hope it shows. Brad
has never missed a Bandon Cup. |
Korman, Tom |
Dark Helmet. Can’t say the attendance has been perfect,
but I don’t see him missing another. For a guy that doesn’t play he sure
strikes the ball. Todd still has “bunker bar” night tears after witnessing
the Eric Sande workout. Also, the biggest loser of
the 2002 4-5-6 game in which Donohue left with new golf clubs (he hasn’t been
back). |
Maider, Tom |
Holding firm at Sand Point. Some say Furyk others say Raymond Floyd. Never missed a cup. Favorite Bandon moment was the Bandon whiff by T-Foz on 17 of Bandon. Also, the rain storm in 2001 without rain gloves in the Baldwin/Maider vs. Alameda/Lund match that was played to a draw. Kids have not helped his game. |
Neil, Jim |
Big Richard (Dick) Jimmy Neil is a little bit country. We cannot confirm every Bandon Cup, but at most missed one. A staple of the squad, Jimmy just shows up and plays. No reference to any body parts in this bio. |
Roberts, Jeff |
JR….Missed one Bandon cup to go fishing. Holds the record for Manhattans in one sitting. Holds the record for rounds played in Bandon. Once shot sub par at Bandon Dunes. Hall of Famer for the Bandon Cup. Contender for the jacket many times. |
Sande, Eric |
Made it to every Bandon Cup. Never missed a one. Bandon
Cup Hall of Famer. Enjoys working out, taking late night car rides from
strangers, golfing barefooted and playing Yoga-pool in the bunker Bar. |
Sheeks, Chris |
Chris “Money Man” Sheeks:
Snoqualmie Ridge golfer. Legendary hoopster and original member of Team USA.
Chris has had a few years off, but is always welcome on the squad. His golf
game is smooth. He shoots laser beams. |
Wagner, Mike |
Maybe the best natural golfer of the Bandon Cup. Wags or 227Wags can bring it. Sometimes plays in his stocking feet to taunt his opponents. Little known personal fact – US Senator Patty Murray makes him hard. He has no handicap. |
