The
Nino Memorial has been a tradition since May 29, 2000.
That year, 6 members of Nino's Fantasy Golf League got
together to play 18 holes at Chesterfield Golf Course
in Chesterfield, MO. Since the inaugural year, members
from all over the
country have taken part in this yearly tradition.
2001 (NMII) debuted a
new golf course (Forest Park Golf Course in St. Louis,
MO) as well as the debut of the Tartan
Jacket. Like the Masters, the champions of
The Nino Memorial vie for these coveted trophies.
2002 (NMIII) was the first
year that The Nino Memorial left the fair city of St.
Louis. As you can imagine, it was also the first time
that The Nino Memorial became a weekend long event. Players
traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada to spend their Memorial
Day weekend in the pool at Treasure Island, on the fairways
at Black Mountain, and at the tables at O'sheas.
2003 (NMIV) was the inaugural year of The Nino Memorial
Fishing Tournament. Though Lake Tunica was being ravished
by a tumultuous drought, combatants for the Golden Rod
did manage to find a dam where there appeared to be fish.
Craig Richason was the only seaman that was successful.
 |
2006 (NMVII) appears
to be a year of many firsts. The first time The
Nino Memorial will be played on a weekend other
than Memorial Day weekend. The first time we have
played on a course that we've already played on
before, let alone in back-to-back years. And the
year that the Hall
Of Tartan had its unveiling.
2009 (NMX) was the
debut of the Nino Memorial Flag, honoring 10 years
of greatness and competition. It was also the year
that the Golden 7 Iron and Golden Putter were awarded
to the winners of the Eagleglass Skills Competition.
2011 (NMXII) was another loaded year of firsts.
The first Nino Memorial played on foreign soil (Windsor,
Ontario, Canada). The first Nino Memorial where
every participant was a former champion. The first
Nino Memorial that had a 36 hole championship.

Saturday,
June 4, 2011 at Seven
Lakes Golf Course, Windsor, Ontario,
Canada.
The
Nino Memorial went international for the first time this year
- heading across the border with our neighbors to the North,
Canada. Culture shock struck the four participants in this year's
tourney (Jaeson "Nino" Becker, Tim "Eagleglass"
Speigelglass, Jeff "Smailz" Small and Tim "Toolman"
Boyer) as they discovered that Windsor, Ontario is inhabited
primarily by three grougs: 1) Ugly Canadians; 2) 18 years looking
to drink legally; and 3) Eastern European women.

Golf Club, Nashville, TN.
Nashville,
TN. - After six years of hype, Smailz and Eagleglass finally
back up their promises.
It
was a record-breaking
2010 for the 11th Annual Nino Memorial. This
year's host city was Nashville, TN.
|
The
team of Tim Spiegelglass and Jeff Small shattered the previous
tournament low-round with an even par 72, and took home the
coveted title with accompanying tartan jackets.

Shoal
Creek Golf Course Kansas City,
MO
KANSAS CITY,
Mo. - The tartan arrived here on Friday a St. Louis tradition
nearing a decade of excellence. By Sunday, the Nino Memorial
trophy was just another monument in the City of Fountains, claimed
by a hometown rookie sensation. Evan Glass, a Kansas City native
playing in his first ever Nino Memorial, shot a stellar 74 at
spacious Shoal Creek to win the ninth version of the annual
late spring classic.

Nino Memorial VIII can
only be summed up with one word - controversy. Never before
has a weekend of golf been filled with such controversy. For
the first time in Nino Memorial history, the golf tournament
of champions has culminated in a tie.

Innsbrook
Resort Golf Course Wright City,

Nino Memorial
7, as with the prior Nino Memorial weekends, was a rousing success.
For the first time, the event was held at the same place (Innsbrook)
as the year prior. Although plans have been made for an out
of town NM8 to mix things up, Innsbrook was the perfect setting
for golf, comradery, and debauchery.

Saturday,
May 28, 2005 at
Innsbrook
Resort Golf Course Wright City,
Missouri.
There is much
to detail about the Nino Memorial Part VI, and little of it
has to do with the actual golf tournament. However, since this
is a public site, all I can say about Friday evening is, why
the hell did Lugar and his pungent self need to be walking around
in that wife beater? Was that the reason Jonboy, Chelist and
Dutch left the proceedings in order to go night fishing? "That
may have something to do with it," said an embarrassed
Jonboy. "But we also wanted to get in touch with the cosmic
balance of the universe." Sure, one could dwell on and
on about the ghastly image of Lugar upstairs or of Lugar downstairs
or of Lugar close-talking everyone and causing them to vomit,
but the kid could play some cards!

Saturday,
May 29, 2004 at
The
Golf Club in Wentzville Wentzville,
Missouri.
Nino
Memorial V began out of sure chaos. The morning after Dustys
bachelor party? Who plans this crap? As the players pulled up
to the course, all were weary, and were not just talking
about the fugly polos Toolman and Dusty were curing our eyes
with. The players all paid their fee and staggered to the putting
green in a less than stellar manner. Tired, crabby, and dealing
with the Wentzville humidity, the day was set for something
craptacular to emerge. That was evident when Scott Chelist showed
up the to putting green with only 2 balls to practice with.

"Roger
that - Over"
This
year's Nino Memorial finally saw the defeat of the three time
defending champions - Michael Traub and Jaeson Becker. Those
that participated were as follows: Aaron Vickar and Scott Chelist;
David Hoffman and Tim Boyer; and last and certainly least Jaeson
Becker and his new partner Craig Richason. Rodney Niles and
Carl Greathouse also participated in the weekend festivities,
although they were disqualified from the tournament itself as
they actually possessed legitimate golfing skills and ability.

Mountain Las Vegas,

This
is Ken Venturi, and I'm reporting live from AJ Abram's hotel
bathroom. Jesus Christ, is this shit good; but I digress.
On Memorial Day Weekend 2002,
this country witnessed the finest
display of golf in amateur history. Though the outcome was seemingly
predetermined, those who traveled the road to the championship
will reflect upon the weekend for years to come.

Sunday, May 27, 2001 at Forest
Park Golf Course St. Louis, Missouri.
(AP)
The most exciting 6 ½ hours in sports - that is what is
now known as the Nino Memorial. The teams. The teams were comprised
of several individuals with varying golf abilities. Starting
at the bottom, there was Luger (a.k.a. Scott Masin) and David
Duval (a.k.a. Opey a.k.a. Daniel Wiggins); then there was Brad
Gross and Joe Glynias (a.k.a. Glass Joe); followed by Jeff Small
(a.k.a. Smailz) and Adam Schweizer (a.k.a. Jeff's future brother-in-law);
Bart Berry and Scott Chelist (a.k.a. Bubba); Jaeson Becker (a.k.a.
Nino) and Michael Traub; and finally Josh Polsky (a.k.a. Twan)
and Dave Hoffman (a.k.a. Dusty). The golfing began this fateful
Sunday at 8:45 a.m.

Monday,
May 29, 2000 at The Chesterfield Golf Course.
(AP)
While many across America were leisurely enjoying their
days off with barbecues and summer pool openings, six
young men ventured out to the beautiful and sprawling
Chesterfield Golf Course for the First Annual Nino Memorial.
Three teams competed in a scramble tournament: Opey
aka David Duval and Luger AKA Scott Masin, Smailz AKA
Jeff Small and Dusty AKA David Hoffman, and Traubio
AKA Michael Traub and Nino AKA Jaeson Becker. The competition
was fierce, the tobacco use was even fiercer.

Nino
Memorial Themes/Logos
The
Nino Memorial Logo Jinx
There
have only been 3 instances where someone's likeness has
been used as that year's Nino Memorial Logo spokesman where
that translated into a Nino Memorial victory. Jaeson Becker
at NMI in 2000, Jon Hoffman at NMVII in 2006 and Tim Spiegelglass
at NMXI in 2010.
For
3 of the people that were chosen, something bad happened
to them prior to that's year's annual tournament, resulting
in them not being able to attend. Scott Masin at NMIII -
2002, Josh Polsky at NMIV - 2003, Brett Bunsick at NMVIII
- 2007.
Jinx
or coincidence?
