My sister is the Assistant to the Athletic Director at UH (and my whole family went there) so I’m well aware of how good the basketball team is right now.

But we’re better.

Hello my Texas friends. I’m late to the party here, but can anyone add their name to the Google doc alternates at the bottom for a just-in-case spot? Coming off an elbow injury all winter but looking to #GetInvolved this year.

Amazing work, here.

Do we have details/a timeline on who and when we need to start paying for things?

I will work on that this week.

Our rooms and times are blocked off, but we’ll need to follow up on Friday rounds for anyone who wants to get the weekend package that includes 4 rounds.

Attn All Buccee’s Cuppers,

Nearly 60 days to the day. We need to send Pine Dunes a roster.

Based on your preferences, availability, and stated interest in Friday, I grouped people into condos and villas.

By Monday April 5th, Please go into sheet and do the following:
1) State whether you are staying Friday/Saturday or just Saturday.
**2) Check Room assignment is okay. **
3) Confirm Friday round so that it can be blocked.

My camp counselor skills began and ended in the late 90s. If I missed something or it doesn’t work, put a note in the spreadsheet.

*-Condos require Friday/Saturday nights. Villas (singles and doubles) now do as well, but they are grandfathering us into our previous agreement that we can do just one night if needed. (So a single or double can be booked for a single night, though they prefer us to stay both.)

**- D1= Double Room #1. S2=Single Room #2. That is who you would room with.

***- Lest anyone be accused of interstate collusion, I kept the room assignments within not between teams.

After we send them the list of names with room assignments, I will confirm. It appears they do not want 35 other people calling and giving them their credit card over the phone.

He did mention that any no shows with a waitlist will not only bring great shame to that region, but will also earn a spot on Danny Buck’s wheel of misfortune.

Also to follow–it appears Danny Buck considering running for highest elected office in the state.

Can you explain the room costs? Does the 4p mean $425/pp for everything and the other rooms have to pay for golf separate?

Yes. 425 per person for everything in the 4p condo.

Golf is separate from rooms for everything else. Current rates are $100 for 18 holes and replay is half. June is busy season so it may be a touch higher—will confirm.

So for someone staying in a single, playing Friday and staying Friday and Saturday, the total cost would be:

$198 ($99 x two nights loding) +
$100 (golf Friday) +
$150 (golf Saturday) +
$100 (golf Sunday) =
$548 (not counting food and booze, of course).

What a fucking steal. God I love Pine Dunes.

Bingo. If value=price/quality, then hard to imagine what could be better.

the only thing I’ve heard discussed that could be put into the ā€œnegativeā€ column about PD is that it HEAVILY favors a right-to-left shot, especially from the farther-back tees. 1, 4, 7, 8, 13, and 15 move significantly R to L, and several others benefit from the roll out, like 10, 12, and 17 (and depending on your line, 5). From a guy who likes to cut the ball, I don’t care :).

Here’s hoping for a cool June, and good greens.

If we’re not getting a room, do we need to do anything? My fiancĆ©s parents live nearby so we’re going to stay with them.

But 18 is where you can really shine and hit that monster cut over the water to cut the corner. I play a cut so I know the pain of Pune Dunes and having 190-210 into some of the par 4’s.

Making sure I’m doing this right - @SaveMuny , I put ā€œyesā€ in the columns in the spreadsheet. Is that all I need to do? My lodging is good, I’m playing and staying Friday night as well. Thanks.

@Jdonelson That’s it. Just need to confirm room assignments and Friday golf.

@Darikashi If you are staying off site, then just put in if you want to play Friday afternoon.

Talk of an opening ceremonies gift exchange where consumable goods will be [exchanged and] consumed. You can start thinking about what you might want to offer.

Formal Details to follow.

Remind me of the official golf? 36 on Saturday and 18 on Sunday?
