About March Mudness:
Founded by @TeddyPargame in 2021, March Mudness is the unofficial kickoff to the Chicago NLU/refuge golf season. Known for its laid-back vibes and camaraderie, this event thrives in less-than-ideal weather, bringing together golf sickos for a good time and a great cause. Rain or shine, we’re here to support charity, chase a little white ball, and enjoy each others company. In 2021 this was my ever refuge event I attended and ever since then the game of golf and how I play has changed. It’s not about the score its about the people you play with and the Refuge has a ton of quality people to play golf with.
@JwG3 want to release the logo? Spoiler it’s not new, but why not run back a good logo to make it a classic
Let’s Go Launch Em!

Mudder Commish and Assistant Mudder Commish
