This is what a great Refuge Tour Team Principal and Roost Captain looks like folks.
This seems like such a great time and weekend of golf, definitely might have to take you up on that.

I have 3 extra sets of blades - access will not be an issue.

Who do I need to talk to to get the traveling blades for this shindig?

How far do you think I am driving for a tattoo?
Since you said it like that, now I kinda think you’re flying

Don’t think they are accounted for that far out so most likely good to go

Yeah, how are we supposed to shame the 40% of people that sign up and inevitably bail when it gets to crunch time?

Timber Lakes just outside of Litchfield has always intrigued me when driving to Peoria from Columbia. It’s literally right off of I-55. My grandpa said it was always a good golf course and he never steered me wrong in that category before but can’t personally vouch for it. It’s about an hour or so outside St. Louis.

A buddy and I played it one day on the way from Bloomington to the Lake of the Ozarks. The front nine is pretty boring - it’s most of what you can see from the highway. But the back was legitimately fun and a little weird. It goes back through some forest-y areas and some ravines and lakes come into play.
If you stop while driving, I’d try to see if they’d just let you on the back for a quick 9.

The way of the blade philosophy was always to eschew the lies of “game improvement technology” and to rely on swing by swing feedback to improve oneself. What greater hurdle to self-improvement exists in golf than the artificial leveling of the field through handicap adjusted scores? Why lie to ourselves that we beat someone who took fewer strokes around the same course?
We aim for greatness through truth - not lies. Not deception. Leave those strokes with the shameful shovels you’ve left behind as well.
[Oh, unless we’re playing for money. I’ll have all 7 of my strokes please and thank you.]
