MN Event: North Star Shootout - 8/15/20 - ***CHARITY UPDATE IN POST 1082***

@BaxterMSP has a format for this event been determined yet? Your post in MN Contingent and the ‘16 Ryder Cup being played on Golf Channel right now got the juices flowing.

Format has yet to be formalized for this tournament. My fellow co-chair @LonnieMollo and I will discuss this critical matter while out on the course once they finally re-open.

Love it. A mere suggestion that came to mind would be some sort of TILT/Quota game, higher team total takes the W.

The committee will take this under consideration.

As someone who makes a lot of suggestions to committees I can confirm that this is “committee-speak” for there’s no GD way we’re considering this

I’m in, added my info to the spreadsheet.

Half the snow has melted off my lawn from these most recent rounds of bullshit, and fingers crossed we’ll be allowed to play in a few weeks? Let’s go launch 'em!

Listen, the committee has many matters to discuss and we’re forced to do so at least 6 feet apart. The Rules Committee will release additional event details as the situation evolves.

It’s been too long since this thread was active. The good news is we’ll be having a meeting of the Executive Committee tomorrow afternoon on the hills of Olympus.

A number of details will be discussed with @GRWhitehead and @LonnieMollo, including whether we are legally able to bar all ‘Sconies from crossing the border to join our event. Much more to come…

I got to play Keller for the first time a few weeks ago and am now even more excited for this event, which I didn’t think was possible

Winning 8&7 is a blast! :wink: Either way, good to finally put some faces and personalities to the names I’m seeing on here. Had a great time. Thanks again to @LonnieMollo for hosting!

For Immediate Release:

On the hills of Olympus last Friday it was agreed upon by the executive committee that the format of the North Star Shootout will be Net Stableford. The one exception is the main event…our championship bout from our 32 person MN Match Play tourney will be your standard net rules.

In related news, I was able to personally inspect the grounds this afternoon and I couldn’t be more excited for 3 months from today. It’s looking pure out there!!!

New update for the North Star Shootout attendees that do not browse the MN Roll Call thread. Round one of our matches for the crown at Keller has been completed. We’re now on to the Siiiiiiiiick Sixteen, with just over 10 weeks to go until the big event.

@MerchCzar @Tron @djpie @Soly @Randy…we still have some open spots. Feel free to register in the spreadsheet on post 117 :slight_smile:

It is with absolute gut wrenching news that my annual 32 man Ryder Cup got moved to the same weekend as the North Star Shootout & will no longer be able to partake. I was overruled 30-2 on the vote, tough scene.

@BaxterMSP should I remove my name from the Google Doc?
