2022 NLU Texas Cup (Frankston, TX): 2022, May 13-15 - Still at Pine Dunes - Signup Post #77

Come in on Saturday and go first off with me Sunday.

I’ve got one with a possible covid positive test … I’m going to start calling my buddies and planting seeds - “if we had a spot open up at a badass place, could you sneak away?”

Thoughts on two gamble games for this weekend, with an additional charity component.

Both games would be 50% to the pot and 50% to charity.

$20 NET skins for alt-shot.

  • Has to be on scores where the last shot hits the bottom of the cup.
  • A putt can be conceded for the purposes of the match, but to win a skin you gotta putt it out. Honor system for reporting.
  • Payouts for skins would be to the team

$40 NET skins for foursomes AND singles, together.

  • Has to be on scores where the last shot hits the bottom of the cup
  • A putt can be conceded for the purposes of the match, but to win a skin you gotta putt it out. Honor system for reporting.
  • Payouts for skins to the individual
  • Maximum 18 skins, not 36 - that is, we’re looking for a single low score on a given hole across the two rounds.

To be eligible to WIN a skin, you MUST return a scorecard after your round, signed by one of your opponents, to Josh. If even 10-15 folks want to play, this could be really fun and pump up the charity donation too.

It feels like something is missing from this weekend. Calling @Snellspace.

Am I wrong, @HellerHighwater?

Maybe you should post something about it in the Texas thread.

Edit: nvm looks like someone already did.

We’ve had a late drop so any and all lurkers are welcome. Never heard back from @authorforrest and @Wildbill27 but if either of you wake from your slumber you’re welcome too.

I just emailed a buddy from my Bandon group who’s played at PD before with @chitwood, @Jdonelson, and me. If he’s available I’ll let you know.

is he ok repping houston tho? :smiley:

Haha probably not. In any case he’s headed to NC this weekend with his fiancee so no good. I sent Shoney a text though. He was on team DFW last year but doesn’t frequent this board.

I actually thought you were talking about Shoney the first time.

Nope. Prawdzik. Neither can make it. Shoney is off to visit his daughter this weekend up in Minnesota.

What about your lawyer friend from Ft. Worth who was a good putter, victim to my par putt lags dropping, and thought I was actually the @MerchCzar?

Y’all, if I have to end up bringing my wife along so she can play for our team I will lose my shit.

I’m not against booking a “business” flight to DC and kidnapping @RobertHunter
