2nd Annual North Star Shootout - July 10th, 2021 ***WRAP UP - POST 1858***

You had me at “Par 3 course”

Also as an unofficially official “honorary Minnesotian Refugee” I wouldn’t miss this for the world

As somebody from Wisconsin, I can just safely assume that at some point he went completely insane like about 1/3 of the state.

We’ve got a couple of guys at my course that play barefoot. I’m not so much worried about the chemicals as all the goose shit.

Also, I hear this can happen if Ship Sticks loses your clubs on the way to the NIT. Shout out @phegs32.

Little teaser for you non-MN attendees that have never played, or heard of, Braemar. Quick description of the Par 3 course’s 5th hole:

Hole 5

The fifth hole is a new hole that plays to the location of the old fifth green site. The hole plays downhill and does not have any bunkers, but golfers that miss the green will have to contend with uneven lies and awkward stances for errant shots. It also features a Mini-Biarritz green to challenge golfers. The wetland to the right of the green has been cleaned out and expanded to improve water quality and habitat for wildlife. The new hole plays anywhere from 108 yards from the Forward Tee to 177 yards from the Tournament Tee.

Will depend on whether my wife is with and/or I’m picking up my boys from my parents on my way back to Madison, but you can consider me highly interested.

If I’m reading this right, don’t miss the green and even then, be sure you’re in the right spot?

For everyone else… @imsocrabby opens the betting as a 3-2 favorite to win the overall title.

I should have included it in the signup sheet but if I Monday in with my Wilson #yotb set I’m going to have to miss Thursday and Friday.

@ChrisP1 and I just found out we’ve been visiting the same lake that is super small and in the middle of nowhere our whole lives because of the sign-up sheet.

Does this go in Refuge missed connections?
