Yeah, what else can I say but wow. Thank you @Randy, @Soly, @MerchCzar, @Tron, @djpie, and of course @Privatecollection for an unfuckingbelievable weekend. My feet still hurt, my knees hurt, I’ve got calluses on my hands, and I had the most fun I’ve ever had playing golf despite playing slightly better than shitty. Every Refugee I’ve met in real life has been an absolute delight to be around so I had pretty high expectations for the NIT, and I was still absolutely blown away.
I wanna shoutout basically everybody but in the interest of space I’ll tag a few of you in another post.
first of all a huge thank you to everyone who put on this event, it was truly a week to remember. I want to start off this post by issuing one of, if not the first official call out for the 2021 NIT. @JCO I want another run at the champ. We were in the same flight, and despite neither of our best golf on our first 9 of the final round, I was only 4 points back, and proceeded to go bogey, bogey, six straight doubles and of course finish my round with my first par in a long time on the last. Turns out when your wife @LPondgolf ditches you while in contention to go watch a guy play left handed @Tron it gets in your head a bit. Clint was awesome and we had a great walk out there, a true gentleman as they say. Congrats on the win.
Had a blast picking up the bag for @RonniepND in the final round. I had already slugged a few IPAs before his first tee ball in the championship and was a bit taken back when all he asked for was a water on the first tee. Despite some early struggles battled through and convinced him drinking was the only way to right the ship by the 10th tee. made a run at it and finished t-3.
It was also a pleasure to watch a true pros pro @djpie maintain the crowds and keep his player @ChickPhilA steady despite the crowds desire to #getinvolved. Its no wonder he always finds a loop with the elite women of the game.
It’s pretty rare that I find myself in a situation that I’m underdrunk enough to notice when someone else is really drunk. You and @OTPLefty each made me proud this weekend.
@MrVinegar206, congrats on the beer and thanks for a fucking awesome Saturday afternoon. Can’t wait to play with you again. @TheThirdSnell, after knocking it around for a few extra holes Saturday I don’t want to see you bitching about your low handicap ever again. Great meeting you dude. @Ben, @AirMailWedges, @phegs32, @Joezwickl, @CSquared07, @MattyB, on and on and on. I enjoyed hacking it around with you guis immensely. @anon24718094, of course, thank you and the rest of the Refuge Wine Society for some fucking great wine. Last but not least, @Lazstradamus. Always a pleasure, my friend.
