Deck the Ballz at Waveland 2024

Let’s play some winter golf in Chicago! I know there is a good amount of interest to get out as a group one last time before 2025. I am happily taking over the reins from @djheadley who ran a great event last year.

Details:
Date- 12/14/24
Cost- $25? Or whatever Chicago park district charges.
Time- 10am (ish)
Location- Waveland GC (Sydney Marowitz)
Format - TBD (Likely Scotch Foursomes with maybe some holiday cheer junk mixed in).
Extra junk- wear a holiday sweater and we’ll go out for drinks after.

Sign up using the google sheet below!

@SupperClub (because what is Christmas without the chill roosts you love)

This is an inclusive event: Spouses Welcome

Sounds like fun guys. For once in my life, I wished I lived in Chicago

Sounds and looks like a great event. However, I just can’t fathom taking the risk to visit Chicago, with all the crime and what have you.

I’d like to call on Monday to book a block, so take the weekend to update the list.

Check it twice.

Gonna find out who’s playing all 9.

Deck the Ballz is coming to town.

Update: Spoke with Patrick in the pro shop and he can’t book more than 14 days out, but he told me to call back on Friday when the manager will be there. Still gunning for a 10 am start with three tee times following. It doesn’t sound like we will have an issue blocking 10-10:30

13 people have signed up so far, so we have up to three spots open before we need to add a fifth tee time.

Tee times at 9:57-10:24 at Waveland.

Wear a Christmas sweater if you have one.

Format will be Scotch Foursomes (both partners tee off, choose one player’s tee shot, alt shot the rest of the way in)

@SecondCityGC @SupperClub we still have one spot available, so sign up on the sheet below. (If we somehow get more, there are additional times we can try to book).

Pairings will be out next week.

As is tradition, we’ll be going to Toons for drinks after golf. (3857 N. Southport)

Lastly, if you feel so inclined, please consider making a donation to a charity of your choice. This isn’t required for the event, but take this as an opportunity to help those in need as the holidays approach. If you’d like any recommendations for Charities, the DMs are open.

I hope to see you on 12/14.

You guys are just baiting the hook. I would bite but we will be at my parents celebrating Christmas.

Enjoy the festivus for the ref-tofus!

Currently we have 4 tee times filled with 2-3 more on the waitlist. It’s not too late to sign up- if we can get a couple more, I can secure a 5th tee time.

Ok format is scotch foursomes- you and your partner tee off on every hole. You pick a shot and play alternate shot from there on in.

In proper Breakfast Ball tradition, bring a few bucks in cash if you’re interested in any games within groups or want to have a skins pool.

After the last group finishes, we’ll head over to Toons for some libations. Maybe someone will make an ace and the first round will be on them.

Anyway here are the groups:
9:57: @BadBrad @jheimlich3 (STILL TWO SPOTS OPEN)

10:06: @Mr.Sunday & @Setwilli v @HackMarkham & @LeftysLoose

10:15: @MikeFlo & @JwG3 v Jroth215 & @delirioustim

This will be my first 2CGC event. Looking forward to embarrassing myself in front of all of you

Glad to have you. The key is to take yourself and the competition super-duper seriously. This is high-level, high-stakes golf :wink:

Hell yeah! Partnering w/ Bartell is awesome. B/c if he has it, we’ll absolutely dog walk whoever is in our way or he doesn’t have it so he’ll start externalizing his inner golf demons that are haunting him and that’s waaaay funnier.

I had a similar thought when I made the groups. Tis a coin flip.

It will be Mascot’s first 2CGC event also. He isn’t on refuge yet though.

Also check the discord, but I’ve floated the idea of the alternate routing

Is he an actual mascot? If so will he be in costume?

I will make sure to make the largest mountains out of the small molehills :saluting_face:

One of my closest friends- I don’t expect any costume besides perhaps a festive holiday sweater.

Sweet ! If it’s warm enough @Gottliebk12 do you still have that Tank top we discussed at Mudness IV?!? lol Gotta have the winter guns out
