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

You got it!

Good afternoon, friends. I am trying desperately to not bail on this, but I’m going to be 2 and a half hours the other direction away on Friday, making my 3 hour drive a 5 and a half hour drive.

I definitely won’t make it Friday at any reasonable time, but should be there Friday night. I see an executive 9 early and 18 after on Saturday. Is anyone playing that evening and have a spot for an idiot like me? How about Sunday am? I’d love to get a little more golf in if I can mentally convince myself to make this excursion work.

I’m sure we can put together a Sunday morning round, not sure of the calendar but I will effort White Bear with my old man

Any word on the format? I need to start prepping for my team/captain!

Just sharing that I’m likely getting a hotel in this region.

Looks like decent value under $120 a night in a burb. Could save money going closer to MOA or downtown, but meh.

Staying Thursday night through Sunday.

The closer you can be to purifying yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka the better.

We’ll still do something with the team format for fun, but I’ve been worn down by all the low cappers crying that net formats are unfair to them (shoutout @charvey)

To that end, the NIT spots will be awarded to the two person team with the lowest combined gross score. Closer to the event the teams will be randomly paired up to ensure their combined handicap is near the team average (i.e. 1 and 15 handicap are on a team, so is an 8 and 8).

By the way, you’ll have no idea who your teammate is until everyone has played. Teams will be in a sealed envelope and announced over beverages at the bocce court

Thanks to @anon47037505 for his spitballing on the format so all the LCPs can feel at home

The nice thing about LCP is you feel at home everywhere.

More seriously, thank you for all the work behind the scenes!

Should I be scared about my pairing as punishment?

I will not be apologizing to the 1 handicap that pairs up with me. Rub of the green, biatch!
