1946 Colonial Invitational, hosted by NLU & Charles Schwab

What a cool event!

Thank you! This event is pretty emblematic of our Schwab relationship - they just want to support us making the content we want to make and they actually threw this idea out there. We’d thought about doing something similar, but they proposed it to us and when we asked how much it would cost per player they were confused and said ā€œcost? It’s free.ā€ Pretty refreshing!

@Tron Will there be any full field Texas NLU events this year?

The Buc-ees Cup is as full field as it gets!

And then we’re gonna try to do a casual meetup the week of Colonial in Fort Worth.

Lottery registration is live: www.golfgenius.com/ggid/pqcxhf/register

Also, when it says search for member in the registration search your refuge username and it should pull up (again, Nest members)

Since I don’t have a GHIN…y’all need a photographer?

Here’s a shot of DJ from two days ago as a resume if needed:
(dammit I REALLY need to get an official GHIN this season…)

I like how it populates my full name in the ā€œLast Nameā€ box, but doesn’t let me update it. Looks like I have the same first and middle names! :sweat_smile:

@Tron When I fill out the registration form, it already had my full name in the last name field, and that’s not editable. Just FYI in case that wasn’t the desired result.

It didn’t ask for my Schwab account information, in case that helps in the lottery…

Same for me, I guess if everyone’s the same then it won’t be hard to figure out what people’s actual names are, LOL.

Lotteries like this never pan out for me. But in the unlikely event this one does, I may need to crowdsource some explanations for why I need to drive to Fort Worth after spending the entire previous weekend in Ardmore, OK. I anticipate that my wife may not understand.

There’s always something with Golf Genius. Will have @Privatecollection help me troubleshoot it tonight, but worst case I’ll input refuge handles manually once we do the lottery so that’s what shows on the player list. Don’t want to cause any unnecessary public identity crises!

My wedding is on the 17th. Married guys, there’s a good enough amount of time in between for me to play a golf tournament in another city right?

The real question…do I talk to my wife to get the green light prior to entering the lottery or only if my name is selected and sell it as an honor that I couldn’t possibly say no to?
