I mean this in all sincerity… what the hell is that? I will be sure to ask.
But whatever it is… it’s better than the WikiHOW scoring method (which I found trying to google the “X” method, which I cannot find information on. I still think you made it up). This is just an abomination.

I hadn’t memorized that incantation in a while. Had to look it up on wikipedia.
Transported my entire team to the 9th Level of Hell.
rka regrets the error.

To piggyback off of Colby, and because I know this thread has cast a pall over an otherwise stellar weekend, I think it’s worth recognizing just how much @Big_RanDeer does to pull off not only this event, but so many other events, as well. Seriously - go look at the events page; Splash of OJ has stuff going on constantly, in large part because of his efforts. He’s a major part of what makes this ecosystem great and I, for one, am very thankful for his efforts and the efforts of others who take up the responsibility of planning events/meet-ups/etc. for providing me the opportunity to show up and get a Find My iPhone notification blowing up my phone mid-round because my wife thinks one of you murdered me.
Seriously, though - kudos to you, Anthony. Your efforts don’t go unnoticed or unappreciated.

So I get that I might be the only one playing to 15… however, just as you would unhide a club or a spade etc on the card for a point, you add a little dot to the x for a point. So, in my example “Us” would be up 8-4 against “Them”
Sorry to derail the post event debrief.

I am genuinely confused as to why a game that prides itself on being so simple that you can play just about flawlessly while blackout drunk would introduce dots on an X instead of like… tick marks?

And now that I’m caught up. Yeah, just because it was likely to blow up doesn’t mean that it absolutely was going to.
@Big_RanDeer - Just to echo what everyone else is saying here. You’re a super well respected member of this community and this little scuffle doesn’t change that or the views people have of your Roost. All it does is expose one person for being the complete asshat that he is.
Keep your head up my man.

If you don’t score Euchre with two 5s then you should go straight to jail and possibly prison

If you’re showing up to Refuge events trying to win, then you’ve failed before you start. Winning never even enters my mind at these events. It’s the awesome people I get to see and hang out with. Probably one of the reasons I’ve never really even been close to earning an NIT spot. And as much as I really want to go, I’m ok with that. I’d rather not go to the NIT than show up at a Refuge event with the mindset that I’m going to grind out a score. I’m looking to have fun and meet some cool new people. If I did happen to win, that would be completely unexpected and an added bonus.
I get that’s not everyone’s mentality and some people only play golf to compete. And that’s fine. But don’t show at the 4th of July party and get mad when no one else is treating the volleyball game like the gold medal match at the Olympics. And if you do, that’s a you problem.
As for booing a women? Fuck off with that shit. That type of behavior happens way too much (not at refuge events). Maybe not verbally, but you can tell from some of the looks. And that’s the number one reason my wife and daughter resist the idea of playing golf. So if you are contributing to that culture, fuck you and I hope you never get a good break on the course again. And I hope we see each other in person so I can say fuck you directly to your face.
@Big_RanDeer, this isn’t your fault. You planned an event. You can’t control someone showing up and being a complete asshole. That’s him and parent’s fault. All you can do is put on the best event possible (and probably not let him back again. But that’s your call). Don’t get discouraged. We’ve never met, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about you.

Maybe a Roost name change would help keep shitty people away.
How about the Floridian Legion of Golf Ball Testers. Just abbreviate that puppy and you’ve got a great, built-in asshole moat.

Hey @Big_RanDeer - this thread is pretty crazy but it’s clear that you’re a good dude who put on a great tournament for a great cause, and like life, there are some uncontrollable things like shitty humans doing their best to make a good thing slightly less good.
I think it would be awesome for you (or someone else) to post a link to the charity you were raising money for and see if some of us lurkers who had nothing going on with this to donate, both for the inadvertent entertainment this provided us (apologies) and also for a good cause, and to soften the utter assholery of a few douchenozzles here who are better suited to hang out at their male-only clubs and snap towels at each others bare asses in the locker room and talk about how masculine they are.
Anyway, please share the link if you can (I’m sure it’s readily available for smarter folks than me) as I know me and others would gladly toss in a few duckets.
