OATW Major - No Findlay-Ing Up - May 17th - Findlay OH - Signup on 56

Let’s run it back. May 17th, 2025 in Findlay, OH. 9:00 shotgun start with registration opening at 7:30 and group photo at 8:50.

We will be playing 18 holes of quota to qualify for NIT spot plus some version of shenanigans in the afternoon. My goal is to end up somewhere as a group to watch the PGA in the afternoon. Maybe more golf, maybe cheap col’ beers (shoutout @randy and @MerchCzar )

Sycamore Springs will be our wonderful hosts again this year and the cost is $100 and that covers golf, lunch, cart fee and donation to charity. Hancock County Humane Society and Findlay Area Junior Golf are the charities again this year.

When signing up on Unknown Golf you’ll be assigned to the waitlist. Once you Venmo me the payment you’ll get moved to the confirmed list. Since we are using Unkonwn, the size of the event is getting bigger and we have the course the whole day the $100 is non-refundable. It’s worked out in the past where people have paid the day of but it’s a huge burden on the course staff.

There will be an optional $20 50/50/CTP game that I’ll announce the morning of. Again, this is completely optional, you’ve paid the $100 for the event and the travel, the last thing I want to do is make you shell out more funds.

Any hotels you’ll want to stay at if you’re budget friendly are off of I-75 on 224/Trenton Ave area. Please don’t stay in the hotels on the East side of 75 right by the 224/Trenton Ave area. Just trust me. If you’re coming to town for more than a night I highly recommend the Findlay Inn or the Hancock. The Hancock Hotel is our upscale hotel but on weekends is pretty affordable as long as there is nothing crazy going on.

Sycamore itself is really laid back and has plenty of room to run around and do hood rat shit if your kids or family want to show up sometime. However, the attractions for families in Findlay is really focused on our park system, the Children’s Museum and playgrounds. If you’re spouse and kids are into children’s books and artwork from them then be sure to check out the Mazza museum. It’s a world renowned art gallery filled with children’s book art and memorabilia.

I bitch about this to people who can fix it, they don’t listen to me.

There could be half as many trees and I still feel like it might be too many. Won’t stop me from playing the course though.

Stop being a country club elite.

I’ll say this (and I’m with you) but for $100 for the debauchery it’s hard to beat. And for $50 on a weekend to ride 18 it’s as good as it gets.

But yes, booze and a chainsaw would go a long way.

Trees stink.

DTW is a comfy 90 minutes, CMH is closer to 120 BUT either are really good to do go in and out of

I’ve made the Findlay to DTW trip, and the return trip, in under 80 minutes. If traffic/construction aren’t bad, it’s easily the best option
