Having done multiple loops with Ben at BCN

[DuckDuckHook]

Ben was underwhelming. The course is fun though.

[RobertHunter]

I hope to see it one day!

way to bury the lede there

[Hwhite]

Needed something that sounded just as ridiculous as owning a yacht one day.

If Ben is wondering the same thing, then I think I’m going to feel safe deleting the app from my phone. I had it hanging around waiting for it to become useful but…

Just to throw this out about Swope, the local USGA branch holds the Kansas City Match Play there every year and that event has set itself as one of the elite Am events in the Kansas City area. The Risk/Reward of this place is off the charts. It’s been at Swope the last 8 years in a row and I don’t believe they plan on holding it any place else in the near future.

For anyone doubting the legitimacy of the place, if you don’t trust any of us local boys saying that Swope is sweet, maybe you’ll trust the local USGA branch deciding to hold an Elite Am event there every year.

Edit: Also, the Fried egg did (half) a podcast on Swope. Check it out Here. Talk on Swope starts at 36:02

Additional golf at top private course(s) in the area if folks so choose

@sundaybag

Pres cup on the TV

Is this a bit? During NFL season?

[Freedom35]

I was already pretty pumped about the event, thanks for sharing more details! Sounds like it’ll be a great time, playing some fun golf, and a fun hang.

Same.

[RobertHunter]

Hold on a minute I had it on good authority you weren’t going to survive the buzzsaw from the lumber states.

[GremlinGolfer]

Sounds like your authority doesn’t believe in #generationalwealth and an #inclusivebusinessmodel

[RobertHunter]

Are you saying that the PNW Crew isn’t a supporter of #Capitalhersm?

[3jackbirdie]

LFG!

BCN:
This was not my idea first and foremost. When we evaluate NLU events at large, it is important that we share the places we have made content at with the NLU community - not just because of the content piece but because we make content at places we feel are special and worth sharing (swope/BCN fall in this bucket). Frankly, I am pumped to have a full day at BCN with all the qualifiers. Matches will be intense with a heckle deck that looks over the entire course. Food trucks rolling in, beers in coolers all over the course, Pres cup on the TV, yard games and really fun golf shots. Just because I feel the urge to stand up for BCN - I will leave it with this. @Soly - “Once I started playing and got used to the greens, I forgot any other form of golf exists. It was so much fun.”

It’s LITERALLY the place the Refuge helped build either with ideas or monetarily. Anyone salty or trolling (I see you @BaxterMSP ) get over yourself and appreciate the most incredible thing that has come out of this stupid forum… besides Li Roy of course

Dig it. So when should I show up for our tee time at Kingsley Club?

[sundaybag]

Thats a great point! Think some questionable folks bought the place though.
