You should dress like an actual knob. I would give you all the extra points for that. I’ll leave it up to you which kind of knob you think I’m talking about.

Guilty as charged… I am just waaaay too excited for the start of my MI summer golf life and the next few weeks of golf… MDW (no plans but will get into something I hope), then this event (have only played front 9 at DS and been dying to see the rest of it plus meet more Flockers), then the weekend after is my 40th bday celebration where I’m still ironing things out but hoping to do UofM Fri (possibly with Leslie park early AM before), Belvedere Sat, and Black Lake (or something else up north or between there and Lansing - nudge nudge any High Pointe, Crystal, Kingsley hook ups - haha) Sunday. These next few weeks can’t go by fast enough!

Do we know the tee time block we have? I know @OakAM wants to go but needs a later time to make it work.
I believe we’ll have a window of tee times from like 10a - 11a, pending how many signups we get

If anyone is lacking in the irons department and wants to play them, I’d be happy to loan you these lovely 2-PW Cleveland’s (built by our own @cgill) for the day to get you that +1 bonus.

Are You Afraid of the Retro?
Are these the blades you didn’t embrace?
I take them out on occasion, but they’re not my gamers; not enough fargiveness.

I just bought an old 3 wood off eBay for this event. Bag will be complete when that arrives.

@Manhattan where do we stand on the original Odyssey #5 white hot?
like this guy?
Original white hot (circa 2006) = 1pt*
*But i’m going to side eye you the whole time for trying to edge case the rules on a vibes first event
anything newer is 0
Rule of thumb given the relative similar points of life the group is in:
- If you’re standing over it and it feels like something you used relatively recently, it’s probably 0
- If you’re standing over it and it feels like something your dad used when you were learning the game, it’s probably 1
- If you’re standing over it and it feels like something your granddad used when he was teaching your dad, it’s probably 2

I only ask because I have one at home, and figured I’d take it to the committee. Others here have been generous to offer up some 1-2 point putters so I’ll be hoping to take them up on that.
I’m still on the lookout for a “2w” since I’m looking to do a half set, as well as a 56 degree.
