Poor boy 2025

Founder and Chairman of the Poor Boy Executive Committee, as well as host of the Poor Boys at Plum Brook, Steve has organized another stellar event for 2025.  As current reigning champion, Steve's preparation for his defense of the crown has consisted largely of drinking Champagne from the Poor Boy Cup.

One of the highlights of Frank's Poor Boy off season was captaining his prestigious Thorfin Cup team to victory over 144 holes in Pinehurst.  In spite of his heavy mediation schedule Frank managed his annual spring training trip to the Phoenix area while also posting an impressive amount of rounds at The Golf Club.

After an uncharacteristic 7th place for the day and 5th overall at Eagle Creek in 2024, Fitchy dedicated himself to a Rocky like physical regimen to prepare for regaining his title.  Shown here on his bicycle in Palm Springs on his way home from the Tom Weiskopf Lock Jaw Seminar and Clinic.  Fitchy excelled on Frank's Thorfin team, winning 6 out of 7 matches, making his chances of a repeat invitation unlikely.

One of the original Poor Boys with his participation going back to 2004, Ron spent a good part of this offseason haunting fishing holes in the west and midwest.  Ron enjoys driving his new Jaguar, because, to paraphrase Stuart Smalley, "He's smart enough, he's rich enough, and doggone it he deserves it!"

Shoulder issues made Jeff's participation in this year's Poor Boy touch and go for a while, but thanks to a timely cortisone shot, Jeff will being teeing it up with the boys come May 30th at Elyria.  After a scheduling faux paux in Palm Springs, Jeff is now rocking a paper calendar, when he remembers where he left it.  As has been the case the past few years, the Poor Boys greatly appreciate Jeff securing the lake house and performing his usual excellent chef duties on Saturday  evening.

Last seen dropping this beauty at the La Quinta bag drop as Fitchy pulled up, Tim  has spent a productive off season working on his trash talking game.  Coming close the past few years appears to have given Tim a chronic case of TDS (Trophy Deficiency Syndrome).  Tim's threat to bring some Boone's Farm to the Friday cook out has the other Poor Boys thinking "intervention."

Denny is back for his third attempt at Poor Boy Fame.  He has been rapidly climbing the Poor Boy learning curve after participating in the Pinehurst Faux Boy last fall.  After posting 3 scores over 100 last fall, Denny appeared to be headed for Poor Boy fame, but recently has reverted back to form shooting in the 80's, bringing his index closer to reality.

As the master gardener among the Poor Boys, Ralph  has had to content himself with  growing his trophies the last few years. He's looking to change that this year and engrave his own name on the coveted Poor Boy cup, after filling it with some fine Slovenian wine.
