Sleezefest, or BurkeFest, as he would like it to be called, was held on a balmy Saturday night in Milly-wau-kay.
Fun was had by all, as the Cubs, behind Mark Prior, who raised his record to 15-5, beat the Brewers 8-4.

2003 GGO Recap
Thirteen golfers, including two rookies, assembled at Anetsburger Golf Course on Saturday for the 2003 Greg Gross Open. The cut of top eight scores and ties went the full 18. The Tournament Director, swinging a club for the first time since the 2001 GGO carded a first nine 49, to miss the cut by a single stroke. Rookie of the year was James Slater, playing golf for the second time ever, beating out Pink Visor and fellow rookie Kevin Butler. Butler was thrilled with his prize, a grill that plugs into a car lighter.
Hometown hero Paul Festenstein led through nine holes, but got a nose bleed from being so high on the leader board that he promptly deposited his tee shot on the 10th into the water. At the same time, Remo Zanocco parred the first three holes of the back nine, gaining 5 strokes on the other 3 in the foursome and cruised to his first Greg Gross Open title. Though records of such things have not been kept, it is believed that Zanocco is the only golfer to play in every GGO since the tournament was opened up beyond the AGA.
The Awards Ceremony this year was held at Grandpa’s in Glenview, and we enjoyed good service, good weather, and cold beer. It was so nice out that we sat outside, so Gold Ball was put on hiatus for the year. Dad was happy to see everybody.
We thank everyone for attending, and hope you mark your calendar for the first Saturday in August 2004, for the 2004 Greg Gross Open.
Very truly yours always sincerely,
Gregory F. Kelly
