Now that we are inside the two week forecast window, it’s looking like we might be #MuddersOnly out there

  • Would you be interested in participating in a Zoom/Teams live reveal of best ball/alt shot pairings?
  • Yes
  • No
  • Yes but I have kids so it strictly depends on day and time

Boy I sure thought I did this correctly…please don’t choose the top option that I thought was going to just be the title of the poll

This is a fascinating take to see out in the wild.

That Script Ohio is elite. The price is absurd for a shirt I would get dirty on day one.

While not a Buckeye (or UM) fan, I was sort of assuming the red/grey vs maize/blue color coding would be the default imagery for the day. That said, I was assuming I’d be on the hook for a $30 Amazon Essentials level red shirt that I’d never wear again, not a $125 logo jersey, ha.

Also, just to freak Conley out, I’m nursing a bad tennis elbow situation for the past 10 days. Way overdid tennis this winter, and it finally caught up to me I guess. Beginning to worry me a bit, but I’m icing and resting it as much as possible. I’ll try to swing a club next weekend and figure if I need to start looking for a sub.

Michigan is definitely not a monolith of maize and blue. Even more diversity in allegiances here than Ohio.

Often, you can stretch and massage your forearm muscles to relieve tennis elbow pain.

“We believe in the “other interests” section of the Resume.” That single sentence may prevent me from ever buying something from rhoback.


Before I voted I was like if the majority of voters voted for the one they were specifically asked not to vote for, I know this is a group I will get along with.

I would just like to note the person who said “don’t do this i screwed it up” voted that way as well
And I had some major waffling before I picked a different option

Frankly, it’s surprising we didn’t all vote that way and force a recreate on the poll

I had to click on it to see if I truly screwed it up, then I just left it to see how many people would vote for the thing that clearly wasn’t supposed to be an option

As always, the refuge does not disappoint

Hey guys, just a few quick things

I need full names and email addresses from any many of you as possible. Course is requesting them so they can enter you into their system. Which probably means you’ll get advertising emails from them too, but I’m trying to do what they ask of us, so please go to the sheet and enter that in the column I added for it

Also on the sheet, you will see a column for your lunch order. You choices are 2 bratwurst, 2 hot dogs, or choice of panini (Italian, Cuban, or chicken pesto). All of these come with a bag of chips and small fountain drink. Please enter what you want (be specific on which panini you want, if you choose that) so that they can plan for how much food they’ll need to have. Anyone who does not enter an order will be defaulted to two bratwurst.

Lastly, there is a column to indicate that you would like a later start time. While we had planned for a shotgun start at 8am, the course said they could also space us out into tee times that would start as late as 852. This gives us some flexibility, and we may still send some groups off in a shotgun if people are there and ready to play, but this way those of you driving in from farther away might be able to get a little extra sleep. Anyone who says they want a late time will be given time slots based on how far away you’re coming from, to the best of my abilities. If you have a late time, please be aware that you need to be there and ready to go when your time comes up.

That’s it for now. @Manhattan may have an Unknown signup available soonish, or maybe not, I don’t really know how that works on his side of the moat. We will also hopefully have a time set for pairings reveal soon. I’m thinking either Friday or Saturday evening, or possibly Sunday afternoon-ish when we will all probably be in front of the tv anyway

Thanks for all your hard work on this one! Very excited for this.

Guess I’ll need to finally sign up for Unknown.

Yes if you haven’t signed up for Unknown yet, please do that. Your roost captain should have sent you an email and posted on your roll call thread so that it’ll put you into that “Community” on Unknown, which hopefully means you can be added to the event instead of having to sign up. Also please be sure to have your GHIN entered into your profile, in addition to updating it on the spreadsheet if you’re posting scores and seeing a change in your index

When works best for you to hop on zoom for pairings announcements? The backup plan is Tuesday evening, but weeknight stuff like that is hard for me, and I’d assume most of you with kids. Note that you can select both choices if either time works for you

  • Sunday at 10am
  • Saturday at 8-830pm

Either!

Read the note!

I automatically defer to single choice voting! Noted though!

I didn’t vote for Sunday at 10am because I will be on the course with @cussingmussel playing a match for the match play, but can make it work if need be.
