What a damn good looking crew! I’m so bummed I couldn’t make it, but wow! Thank you to each and every single one of you! $2570 is such an impressive amount!! This place is unreal.
And video (the audio of which I’m going to make my ringtone) of @twturner’s drive during the alt shot on 14. I estimated it at 345. Partnered up with Tom, cartnered up with @paroutfromhere… unbeatable.
Make no mistake, this is the best event on the calendar. It was such an amazing last 2 days (shout out to the Radrick crew playing again today). Great playing with @Kirk19 and @David_is_Goliath and @JJS in the morning round and stoked to have won our Nassau 3-0! Epic hangs in the rain delay and after the rounds. I’m sure I owe someone money after the 10-man alt shot skins match.
@DevonCoates and @Brentdtw great to see you both again. @paroutfromhere you are truly my brother.
@JDGAFFLIN, A+ event, couldn’t have hoped for a better day yesterday.
Absolutely! Would love to get together again this summer as life allows.
I just want to echo everyone else’s sentiments about how great the event was yesterday. Absolutely perfect way for me to pop my refuge event cherry.
Special shoutouts to @JDGAFFLIN and everyone else in the FCF who helped put everything together,
@treeputttim, @TonyPres, and @chefcycle for a delightful morning round, and everyone involved in the scorch foursomes and mega scramble to close out the day.
Such a treat to meet so many new faces, had nothing but great interactions all day! Can’t wait to see y’all again soon!
I need the winners of the FPC golf bags to message me so I can coordinate with Laz to get them out.
“Here’s the keys to the Porsche, don’t wreck it” was an all-timer from @paroutfromhere .
Was a little worried in the morning, but it turned out to be an absolutely perfect day after that. @jasona93 @Jalspurg @andrewf @eatonsb and whoever I missed during the alt shot insanity were all great to play with, and the golden hour holes that @JDGAFFLIN dropped in on were the perfect cherry on top.
Many thanks yet again to Jesse for putting all this together, was a total blast all around
What an amazing day! @JDGAFFLIN thank you for all the time and hard work you put into making this such an incredible event!! @eatonsb, @JJS and @David_is_Goliath I had a great time dodging lighening bolts and playing with you in the morning. @paroutfromhere thank you so much for bringing up a couple of bottle of boubons for me from Ohio. It was my first time (hopefully not last) playing Rackham, and that back nine especially is a great set of golf holes. It was great to see some familiar faces again and meet some new fello sickos!! JD thanks again for everything!!
Payment to @tchap80 for Max/GFPD made. Rounded up to make it an even number.
Thanks again to each and everyone of you that took part.
A special thanks to @kfisch for designing the logo. Great work. Props to @Brentdtw for making it so easy to track the results that even an idiot like me couldn’t screw it up. Shout out to @eatonsb for handling the raffle. To the big homie @paroutfromhere for handling the check in and keeping me grounded when people were dropping off the list like flies. Kudos to @theclv24 for the exposure on Great Lakes Loops. Check it out here: https://greatlakesloops.substack.com/ ) And to @EarthMover for the hookup for dinner.
I apologize to anyone I may have forgotten, but know I really appreciate the effort everyone put in. Legendary stuff gentleman!
Take a bow everyone. To borrow from the music component of the theme, “Y’all Fucking Rock!”
So, uh, we running it back next year? LFG!
Done and done - it’s my privilege to pass along this donation to the GFPD and credit it to Maxamania II. You guys are freaking awesome, and if any of you are ever passing through central Illinois - please let me know and we will have to play golf or at least let me buy you a beverage. I’m so bummed to miss out and the pictures looked fantastic - but thank you for carrying on in my absence.
At our event last week, my wife had the opportunity to get up and share a little about why the GFPD is so important to us and why we have continued to pour so much energy towards this cause. She sums it up better than I ever could. If you ever have a chance to watch your wife captivate and inspire a room of about 200 people, I’d highly recommend it:
Thank you all!!
Add me to the list of people who had an absolute blast at this event. Showing up to my first refuge event without really knowing anyone gave me some anxiety but everyone I met couldn’t have been nicer or more welcoming.
@JDGAFFLIN thank you for putting together an awesome event!
@kfisch we definitely need to run back that alt-shot pairing sometime in the future!
That was a hell of a pairing right there.
Announcement:
Our representatives to attend the NIT Tournament follow:
