I'm always told I'm standing too close to the ball - after I hit!! That's me on the right, with my buddy Rocky, world long drive competitor.

Tom...
Class of - 2016 aka ~ 2Mississippi As a citizen of Cincinnati, there have been many days questioning my career path. In the seventies, I was an intern for Mayor Jerry Springer. It was my idea to pay for the hooker with a check, which bounced. Jerry didn’t hold me responsible as he did offer me a job working as a grip on his new TV show. He even had me on one day after he heard me telling the guys about schlepping my Mother In-law, who became my ex-Mother In-law after the show. In the eighties, I quit working for Jerry and became a bookie for Pete Rose. It was great until the FBI wiretaps. Pete really looked after me in the big house, as we did time together. In my new job, I made the global spotlight just a few weeks ago. Someone had to shoot the gorilla. |
Frank Geraci...
AKA Dawgboy - I have been an avid golfer for about 20 years. First things first, people always wonder how I got the name “Dawgboy”. Truth be told I literally used to bite girls butts, some of them liked it and of course some of them did not. However, it was always worth the risk even though it meant a possible slap in the face. As far as my golf game goes, I will play every chance I get even though my scores may not reflect it all the time. Once someone says they have an opening to play golf, I will be the first one to commit to play. So if anyone ever needs a fourth I will be glad to give my number out. Professionally, my passion is helping individuals with their health and wellness at the same time helping those same individuals move into more favorable financial situations. I work in the health and wellness field teaching others about proper nutrition and showing them the difference between feeding your body with the purest nutrition out there and feeding your body the toxic processed foods that our society provides. I have helped 100's of people turn their lives around from having more energy every day to eliminating their pain and discomfort that they may have. I always tell people "If you don't have your health, then you don't have wealth" I also indoctrinate people so they become aware that there can be a much better and fuller life than the 40/40 (40 hours a week for 40 years) plan in which most have become imprisoned. I show them that they can break free from that enslavement which only fulfills the goals of their employer but does nothing to allow them to enjoy an early retirement with their family & friends and enables them to provide a financial legacy which can be left to their heirs. In today's world with so many people looking to control their own destinies, my activity is focused on finding top notch, exceptionally talented entrepreneurial professionals who want to have more control over their lives and who want to dramatically increase their income and finally get paid what they are worth. |

aka ~ Mush One of the founding members of the Lovefest. Graduated high School in 1983 with a diploma in one hand and a beer in the other. Received the first only Prestigious award - 1983 Hammer King. If you need an explanation please ask. I met my beautiful wife Pumpkin at the 3rd annual Rocktober fest 33 years ago and have been married for 26. We have two great sons Zac and Luke. I've been working at UPs for 27 years which I've earned 8 weeks vacation. Suck on that boys! In March 2014 I received some tough news that I had a baseball size tumor in my throat.

Grillman...
A 6 year veteran of the Robiocup, Grillman is the best bad golfer you will play with. You may not win with the Grillman on your team, but you WILL have fun, drink a little too much, and probably wind up with great stories for next year. In addition you can always borrow one of Grillman's custom ball markers, not only for use on the course but also to cut your steak! Leave your sleeves at the condo, and meet Grillman for a barefoot round! |

Bobby
Class of 2012 Bobby the Assman. Proud member of two-time defending champion Team Blue.

Neighbor Bob ~
Class of 2006 aka - Neighbor Bob It's Neighbor Robert to rookies and now Team Red. A Sherlock Holmes like ability to find a lost ball with even the slightest chance of recovery to complement an inseam shorter than the attention span of an adolescent with an iPhone drinking mountain Dew. Fun Fact: Organizes a yearly golf trip with his high school buddies where Rob Wysoglad attends and is known as "Neighbor Robio". |
Norton...
Traded almost every year, Norton, for my handsome looks and stunning similarities to famed Hollywood actor, Ed Norton. I am a global traveler; live a diva lifestyle; and have fathered many Chinese children in search of the best massage. Recruited by “Rock” to join the group pre Robio Fest and Robio Cup, I love this annual outing and enjoy the weekend warrior friends and frenemies alike. The alcohol resets my body for the months to follow: my swing is all jacked up for the rest of the golf season; and if I had any thoughts of being gay during this bromance of a weekend, that is immediately reversed after being forced to witness Rock drunk and naked on multiple occasions. On a professional level, If you need help with international transportation, logistics, customs brokerage, let me know. |
