North Star Shootout 4 (NSU Roost Major) - Minneapolis, MN - July 15, 2023

It is personal. But two others are joining you in misery, so you have nothing to fear!

@bignanski which tees are we playing? Black vs blue changes course handicap for me. Is the onus on the player to keep track of pops or will golf genius spit that out for us?

In maybe the longest standing refuge tradition I know of, we’ll be playing the one-ups aka blues. GG has it all figured out, do not fear. Just record your gross score and move on.

Since I can’t promise I won’t bitch a little bit about Gross National, I will pledge $15/quota point I make in the morning round to Gillette and get that matched by Baird as well. Hoping this encourages my playing partners to scoop all my putts inside 3 feet.

Turning negative energy into a positive thing. Truly aspirational stuff.

Has anyone played Gross recently? I need a level set on green speeds to start mentally preparing how hard I need to hit it. My send off on Stoneridge last night was an extremely fast middle of the green to front hole putt so I need to clear my mind.

Little late to the party on this, but I can bring another set of blades if anyone is interested mp37s

I will also put the very forgiving easy to hit Callaway erc fusion 7.5 driver in the bag for some added fun

Tomorrow is a ā€œdouble pointā€ day for me.

Will be doing my contributions to the season long pledge but also making donations to Gillette for the day as well! (Pars, birdies, etc.)

Count me in for the points tomorrow morning for Gillette’s since I haven’t done it since the Beaver Pelt that got rained out. I will double my Beaver Pelt bets which takes me to:

$40 Eagle
$20 Birdie
$10 Par
$20 Bogey+

Love the good juju @charvey is putting out there, and looking at @Walke565 @jakejfowler @StrokesGainedDrunk to help donate some money to the kiddos.

Absolutely love the design but don’t feel like I could display a pin flag for an event I missed as I would just feel regret and sadness every time I saw it.

Ala @MackReiter I’d love for it to go to someone who is actually playing in the event, bonus points if that person wants to make an additional donation to Gillette.

I will pledge $5 per quota point that @Mystic is short and $10 per quota point he goes over his number. I’ll pledge the same amounts for my own game.

Great spot. Omar Ansari can lick my butthole but that taproom is fantastic.
