Well done, well played. We did it. THANK YOU
So yes, I’m one of those that writes a bunch of thoughts after these things. I’ve learned to split up my ramblings so here goes…
Thursday was my birthday and this weekend felt like a continuous birthday party. Loved every second of it. Thanks yall for being there.
Finally got to play with @NYC who I formally met on the Pinehurst putting green last year, although we went to the same high school! Thanks for playing and driving me to and from this weekend! MVP
Having @statguy in my group R1 was awesome as he’s played the course a bunch and was so cool to hear about what he’s got going on, which is A LOT hahah. He hits it well too! Keep it up man!
Played with @dilly.eats , @sundaybag and @hworth14 all for the first time yesterday and I’m already hoping to get that chance again. Guys are studs with the golf ball and great people. It was a real treat to have this group yesterday. Felt like we were all right there with Dillon being the “come get me” guy and we just couldn’t keep up. Huge shout to him for BALLING. It was clinical. He hooped one on 15 for a 2 - two days in a row!!! MENACE! It was an absolute pleasure to watch and compete against.
Big ups to all the flight winners for getting it done, going out to battle in the hottest part of the day and providing a show for us. Honorable mention @HHSBallcoach, great playing man. I love to watch Dusty hit it - dude’s a smooth operator.
Shoutout @reinben for golfing his ball and taking this thing home. I didn’t see the shot on 13 come in and thought it was a birdie when he rolled it in. Hitting what I would guess was a ~200 yard shot to 10(?) feet to that pin and cashing the putt was some high level menace behavior. Loved it! And then on 18 when it looked like it might get a little squirrely, he focused up and hit a fantastic pitch onto the green that all but sealed it for him. Great stuff!
Was not expecting a magician to pull up and pitch a perfect game but holy shit that was incredible. Making adults question their existence is objectively SICK. I’ll stand with Neil, if you’re out on magic, I may be out on you. Shoutout to Lucas for blowing everyone’s minds over and over again.
Rolling around watching the finals remains some of the best times you can have on a golf course. It’s hard for me to write about because it’s just such an experience. Thank you all for creating that space. I treasure those times and am sincerely grateful for it.
It’s so cool to be able to look forward to an event like this and be able to play your way in! I clipped TC by 1 on the Erin Hills putting course last year, to which he promptly responded “I had a 4 putt” - I got a good chuckle out of him when I told him “I DID TOO” hahaha. And yes, I got a scummy sponsor exemption this year but I feel like I did the opposite of Webb Simpson and took advantage of the opportunity. Supremely grateful for the invite and hope my performance was worthy.
Also shouts to the big guy @Randy for careering it yesterday. Love that for you man.
Thanks so much to everyone at NLU and behind the scenes for making this event a reality. BIGGEST of shouts to @PrivateCollection for continually doing the dam thing as best as it can be done! We appreciate your work so much! THANK YOU.
Going to be snowing in the mountains soon and I’m already excited for the next year of golf. I hope to see some of you out there soon.
Peace
