MEMBER-MEMBER
PLAYER PROFILES
Teams are listed alphabetically by Player A. There are no playing divisions in Member-Member. 12-month low handicaps are listed for Calcutta purposes. Calcutta will be divided into two sections based on team handicaps.
Kurt Baumann
Mandla Mondin
Let Mondin cook! This member has been on fire this season coming out strong with a couple of monthly wins. He may be the Player B, but that won't stop Baumann from letting Mondin do all the work until the final round where both scores count. This sleeper pairing could be ones to double down on in Calcutta. They are sure to bring in high returns.
Odds to win: 33:9
Brian Clark
Bob Parson
Clark & Parsons. Parsons & Clark. No, not Lewis & Clark, Parsons & Clark. This team is one Sacagawea away from a successful expedition looking for the Member-Member trophy. What wasn't successful was finding a picture of Clark anywhere. It's like this former Men's Club Champion doesn't exist online. But, if you combine Clark's power with Parson's putting ability this team could surprise a few in the scramble round and take home the honey pot. Can they win the whole thing?
Odds to win: 33:17
Doug Clements
Greg Wirth
Our Men's Club handicap chair has been busy this season rewriting the Men's Club code of conduct, monitoring member postings in the GHIN app, and calling out those that don't post within 24 hours of completing a round. What Wirth hasn't shared publicly, however, is his new found love of irons. That's right, Mr. Chutter has broke down and bought one iron; and not the kind that you cook steaks on. Let's see if practice on range and a new Member-Member partner will yield success on his iron investment. Anyone have a towel? My golf cart seemed to have hit a water buffalo.
Odds to win: 33:13
Scott Didrickson
Scott Marcum
This is the team we have all been waiting for. A true David (Marcum) & Goliath (Didrickson) of sorts that is ready to shock the Tamo community. Oh wait, they have teamed up before and are still in search of victory. These two golf coaches (formerly on the same squad) have a great chance of taking home the title. The real question is, will Mulligans stock up enough Pepsi and Spotted Cow to get them through the tournament? May have to make a call to Wisconsin to have a shipment come in. Side note: Spotted Cow is the official beer of Wisconsin. If Wirth were a betting man (and we all know he is) look for this team to be in the mix when it comes the final 9 on Sunday.
Odds to win: (Philippians) 4:13
Brad Douglas
Matt Robinson
The member with the most TAMO Men's Club Championship wins has teamed up with our very own Live Tourney creator for a partnership that is one to watch. Robinson has watched his handicap impressively get lower and lower each year, while Douglas continues to stay in scratch golfer territory. This team is poised to do well on the final round where both scores count, but how will they do with the team divorcer round known as alt shot?
Odds to win 33:5
Brent Douma
John Vernon
The twin bombers are teaming up for what appears to be this years lowest handicapped duo. Will JV (Junior Varsity) return to pure golf form after a few missteps in past tournaments or will BD (Bid Daddy) have to carry this team to victory (albeit dealing with dance recitals, lacrosse, basketball, volleyball, underwater basket weaving, and other kid like activities)?
Odds to win 33:1
Tim Ennis
Kyle Minnie
Ennis, a multi-time Member-Member winner, is looking to bring home another win with (relatively new) member, Minnie. Minnie has proven his ability to win tournaments by climbing the ranks and making the Ryder Cup team last year. Can this winning mindset team work together to bring home the coveted Member-Member trophy? Tune in May 16-18 and find out.
Odds to win: 33:16
Jack Estep
Mike Michaud
Here we have the defending 2024 Member-Member champions. No, you are not reading this wrong, they did in fact win it all last year. Hell hasn't frozen over, pigs still haven't learned to fly, and Canada is not the most recent US state. Can these two pull off back to back victories, a feat that hasn't been done since ? Does Estep have a new swing since their last victory? Will Michaud stop complaining about his back? Check out the odds to see our prediction.
Odds to win: 33:1
Chris Flaat
Kevin Diefendorf
Gentlemen, grab your Abacus, calculator, or super computer for this dynamic twosome who sport a handicap larger than the US deficit. Chris Flaat, a relatively unknown player, has come out of hibernation. Some say sightings of Big Foot have been more prevalent. And as his playing partner, we have the rookie, Diefendorf, an unknown in the Tamo golf world who rivals losing things like his phone more than Jeff Dark. This Bay area native is praying for an incredible victory this weekend, something we can't say about the 49ers over the past 5 seasons. As Lloyd would comment, "So you're saying there's a chance".
Odds to win: 33:4
Tim Frost
Matt Dyor
They say that the best golf partner is someone that is a little worse than you. Frost decided to take that proverb to the extreme with his partner pick this year. But Dyor has been out there honing his craft all year. This team may just be the one to place your bets on this year. C'mon Team Frosty Dyor, take it one hole at a time and swing your way to Tamo Member-Member victory. You can do it.
Odds to win: 33:17
Steve Gerard
Don Gerard
They say that two Gerards are better than one. Will that be the case with another Gerard attempt at winning this tournament? With Steve's lingering pains and ailments and Don rarely golfing, this brotherly duo will definitely need to rely on eacch other and the luck of the Gerard namesake when it gets to the both scores count rounds.
Odds to win: 33:17
Odds that Steve will wash his golf cart before the tournament: 0
John Gillespie
Jeff Dark
Team of Felix & Oscar are at it again. For as much golf as these two play you would think at least one of them would have a Men's Club major title by now. Will this year be it? Can they get their outfits coordinated well enough to distract their opponents? Will the bird chirping and roars from the adjacent holes rattle Dark during his swing? Will Gillespie, aka trash panda, make it through the weekend without a box of fruit loops? Keep quiet and hope they play well.
Odds to win: 33:1
Odds they will be divorced before the first 9 is completed 33:1
John Gowan
Charles Scibetta
Presenting two of our ToS facilities committee members who have teamed up to make a run at this year's Member-Member. We can expect that both members will likely use their vast facilities knowledge to give them a competitive edge when it comes to playing through the maintenance shed, Pro Shop, or any other building on property. They'll need it given their borderline handicap differential. Way to live on the edge, Team Gobetta.
Odds to win: 33:15
Jeff Higgins
Mark Pfleger
This pairing is serendipitous. Who would have thought that our 2025 Men's Club Ryder Cup captains would pair up to be Member-Member partners. Is this to gain strategical insights? Or was this a Signal app messaging flub? You can be sure that all eyes will be on this team to see if they work well together or use this as a stepping stone to gain a tactical advantage come Ryder Cup time.
Odds to win: 33:13
Kyle Hutchison
Taylor Mercer
Team Merchison may not hit fairways or greens in regulation, but when they do, they make birdies and eagles. This pairing of golf super heros is bound to be a crowd favorite to watch climb the rankings of the leaderboards. From tee box to flag stick, we can expect great things from these two.
Odds to win: 33:4
Tim Kennedy
Rob Benson
Both of these members have sons that are way better at golf than they are. That means these two have a chip on their shoulders as they enter this tournament determined to prove their golf abilities to their peers and neighbors. Hopefully father time hasn't surpassed their ability to show one last chance at Tamo glory. Keep your sunglasses on and shirts tucked, Kennedy and Benson. We believe in you.
Odds to win: 33:5
Troy Kleweno
Henry Dixon
We feel it is our obligation to call out that this team has been quietly climbing the Tamo Men's Club golf rankings. One with a golf cart that looks like it's fresh off of a safari expedition from Jumanji and the other with a golf cart from MTV's pimp my ride, this sleeper team may surprise many with a top Member-Member placing. A team worth watching.
Odds to win: 33:8
Marc Lauricella
Nick Trout
Fresh off of their 21-hole Director's Cup win, this team knows how to grind when needed. Armed with a set of clubs and a bag of gummies, this meducinal duo is ready to etch their name in the annals of Tamo Men's Club history as either Member-Member winners, or most likely team to share a drink with you win or lose. Don't get caught up in their easy going demeanor, that's when they take you on hole 21.
Odds to win: 33:9
Weston Macdonald
Jacob Bowles
Gentlemen, we present to you our esteemed Men's Club President and Men's Club Weekly Skins Chairman. These two fine specimens are a perfect representation of all that the Tamo Men's Club stands for. When you see them, please stop and take a moment to thank them for their service. They do what they do so we can enjoy what we enjoy. Not really, but these SHOT BOYS (not the 80's boy band) are looking to make a run. They have been OHHHHHH so close in years' past. Will the low handicaps be too much to overcome? We will see
Odds to win: 33:2
Odds Jake ever sponsors a Men's Club tournament again: 0
Pete Mclean
Mark Gregov
Mclean and Gregov are known for their passion for winning. Sometimes that passion can be misconstrued as anger or agression. But these two learned long ago through experience that it is only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a way to solve problems without using violence. Channel the inner golf zen, team McGov, and you may find victory is closer than imagined.
Odds to win: 33:16
Tim Moriarty
Dale Denny
This is an interesting pairing. On one side you have a former Director's Cup winner. On the other, you have last year's Invitational winner. When you put two winners together do you end up with a winning team? Or do they cancel each other out? This will be a team to watch for sure.
Odds of winning 33:7
Marty McCormack
Jon Petersen
Oh, McFly! When is he going to jump into that time machine with Doc and finally win one of these majors? Will his putting keep him and Jon in the mix? Will Marty pull a Miracle on 4th street? Oh wait, Mr. Petersen, not the other Peterson, but this Petersen is going to do his best to help bring home the trophy. With a combined 32 handicap, or for you math majors an average of 16, does this team have enough dots to pull this off? Let's hope the crows, geese, and other birds don't give this team a hard time.
Odds to win: 33:16
Bryan Stevens
Ed Teders
This is a partner that one Oregon Duck alumni (Teders) has been trying to snag for a very long time... because we all know that you need a UW Husky (Stevens) in order to win. Hopefully they can keep their alma matter rivalry on the football field and work as a team on the course. If they do, they are in prime position to do well.
Odds to win: 33:7
Alex Papadopulos
Oliver Graham
This 2023 winning Member-Member team has been working hard this past year to regain their title. With the completion of the Graham golf simulator Lair of Champions, many have a heard late night practice sessions from the clubhouse parking lot as these two work on perfecting their swing to regain Member-Member greatness.
Odds of winning: 33:4
Dan Peterson
Brian Nash
It has been said many times that a bet on a Peterson is a bet worth making. That's especially true when a Peterson is paired with Nash. These two know the ins and outs of each other's intricate golf swings very well. They know when to play conservative and when to go for it perfecting the proverbial ham and egg. Play well, gentlemen. For the sake of winning Calcutta bidder on your team, play well.
Odds to win: 33:6
Jeff Sass
Lee Padberg
This father-in-law, son-in-law duo is back again for another attempt at having their names etched on the trophy plaque. This family duo tackles the golf course with the same enthusiasm they tackle at family gatherings. They're not just golfing; they’re creating memories (and probably enough comedy for a sitcom). But, don't write off this team in the Calcutta yet. They may just surprise you at game time.
Odds to win: 33:16
Odds of getting a traffic ticket in Medina if you speed: 33:1
Doug Schulte
Bradley Barrows
We welcome back the 2018 Member-Member champions who are more determined than ever to get their name back on the trophy. With Schulte's signature Jack & diet cocktail and Barrows's quick wit, this team is more likely to come across as your favorite bar friends than fierce competitors. But don't let your guard down, or put your wallets away, because these two know how to ham and egg it to a tournament win. They just need to remember that with the final 18-holes, both scores count.
Odds to win: 33:7
Seth Tagge
Mike Bessenyey
We can only imagine how this pairing decision was made. Both were probably brainstorming on how they can get out of the house for a weekend of golf and away from small kid responsibilities. Tada! This pairing is now making their Member-Member debut. Let's see if they can clear their minds from responsibilities at home and focus on their responsibilities as team members on the course and have make an impressive showing.
Odds to win: 33:8
Odd they will need to go on a family vacation after Member-Member: 33:25
Brian Tam
Travis Dahl
Dahl and Tam are like the Yin and Yang of Tamo golf. If one tops the ball off the tee, the other stripes it down the middle. If one hits the ball left, the other also hits the ball left. When one goes low, the other gets high. Play well, Team Dam… we believe in you.
Odds to win: 33:13
Tom Trahan
Dave Charles
Having won this tournament before, Tom Trahan knows what it takes. And, Dave Charles... well he has two first names for a name. This could be a winning recipe in the odds maker's calculations. We give high odds on this team optimistically believing that we will get an invite to the annual Charles pig roast for Fourth of July.
Odds to win: 33:2
Brent Weidenbach
Stephen Martineau
Team Weidenbach and Martineau are probably the best looking team in this year's event. From their squared jawlines to their pearly white teeth, this team has more swagger than Chazz Reinhold from Wedding Crashers. But we all know that good looks will only get you so far. Member-Member requires grit. It requires blood shed tears. It requires a winning attitude. All things that Weidenbach knows as a former Member-Member champion.
Odds to win: 33:12
Jeff Wells
Glen Lowe
Who would have thought that a golf trip to Wolf Creek in 2024 would get these two to form a new Member-Member partnership? But, we all know that desert golf is nothing like Tamo golf. Let's see if these two can ham and egg it for 3 rounds and then keep it together for the 18-hole field separator known as both scores count.
Odds to win: 33:1
Chris Wheeler
Damon Ford
Wheeler and Ford. Sounds like the headline to an auto convention, but we're talking about two mediocre golfers that are joining together for team greatness. Wheeler has the ability to get the team on the green for an eagle putt, so long as Ford fixes his wicked snap hook before the tournament. But when this two are in cahoots, they are birdy making machines. Tweet tweet, mother f*er.
Odds to win: 33:7
Bradley White
Ed Nightingale
This team may be serious contenders this year. Two mid-handicappers that have a close handicap differential is a recipe for greatness. The two will meld and play as one. They'll swing as one. They'll chip as one. They'll putt as one. And at the end of the tournament, they may walk home with the trophy as one. Team WhiteNight, make us, and all that are bidding on your team in the Calcutta, proud.
Odds to win: 33:5
