2013 started with a huge cosmic bang for the HALLOFORG! On New Year's eve, Samuel Thomas Reineman, a renowned mechanical engineering student, arrived at the HALLOFORG from Cambridge with his MIT Co-op tote bag chock-full of Margarita mix and necessary elements. (Surely, a MIT Co-op bag was never intended for such use.) After concocting and ingesting these ingredients and with minimum sleep, in the early morning of January 1, 2013, Sam faced James, an astrophysicist from Yale, in a brainiac battle on the roof. Fortunately for Sam, James, even more white than normal, was in a weaken state as he was playing on a empty stomach, the contents of which had been deposited on the second floor of the HALLOfORG during New Year's eve. After the first inning in which no one scored, James and Sam huddled and rather than discussing their grip and stance, they started formulating the Coriolis effect and quantum tunneling for the flight of their shots in a wonderful display of cooperating sportsmanship. Such an esoteric discussion about the applicable roofgolf forces being proportional to the rotation rate and the centrifugal force being proportional to its square was certainly unprecedented at the HALLOFORG, but the results were immediate. With a correctly calibrated flight of his shot and smartly using the tree as a backboard, Sam ORGED. Then James scored 2 runs and repeatedly surrounded ORG with his shots; but Sam was victorious. Everyone should rest assured that Sam did not invoke the Nihal rule of counting a stroke ONLY if there is contact with the ball. Also, everyone should be reminded that there is no prohibition to performing arcane mathematical computations during a match as long as the match is not unduly delayed. In short, Sam is a well deserved inductee. Please warmly welcome him into the HALLOFORG as its first inductee of 2013.
