I wasn’t there for this last match but have played twice this year. Both times it was in fantastic shape. Course is a beast.
Ok update, due to unforeseen circumstances, we have to postpone our match from today until Saturday the 25th in the early AM. And moving from Shawnee to Ellsworth Meadows.
@golf4miami i got past ryan palm 4&2 over at Erie Shores. Not the must illustrious track but it played firm and the winds today made it interesting. I scrambled like a madman, I had somewhere in the ballpark of three squirrels throwing balls back into play, and I dodged a few super close missed putts from @ryan.palm early on to squeeze by. A great evening for golf and enjoyed the company.
It was great fun @jack67 - really enjoyed the company…that wind was tricky and took me 16 holes to finally get hang of greens not holding despite being soft underfoot - but agreed - a very enjoyable evening. Only saw one instance where a group drove their cart onto a tee box to save some steps.
Old Erie shores. Haven’t heard that name since high school. I can’t even remember the course it’s been so long since I’ve played there.
Congrats to everyone who won their first elimination match. We’re officially down to our Sweet 16!

Got my match w/@BoomBaby812 for Wednesday. Will post either a flowery, or totally butt-hurt write-up that evening!
Well, here comes my butt-hurt post.
@BoomBaby812 Started the day going 2 down thru 2 before battling his dick off, including winning 3 holes w/3-putts, and grabbing a win w/a triple on a par 5.
To be fair to him, he played a nice round of golf, was very steady and didn’t give me many opportunities after my opening onslaught, taking it 6&4. He even finished the round by going -2 on the last 6 (truly could’ve been deeper than that, we were both on a heater at the end). On to the quarters for him!
Great match with @tmck14 and our marker @Collya on Sunday. Tad and I traded blows on the front but it was anyone’s game at the turn with Tad 1up. He increased the lead to 2up with an effortless birdie on 10 and I didn’t think I had a chance. Tad continued to play well, but I got my shit together and won five of the next six holes, ending the match 3&2.
Thanks for all the reporting in!
Looks like @BoomBaby812 vs @UncleDrew is the first confirmed Quarter Final matchup.
@OhioStateBrady and @dkoller playing Beckett Ridge tomorrow and I’ll be their marker. Things are moving.
The whole top half of the bracket will be onto the Quarters after tomorrow then! That’s awesome news!
@quicktempo took the W this morning at Ellsworth 2&1! He received 7 pops and played those 7 holes in 1 over. He gave away a couple holes coming in but closed it out on 17 with a very comfy 3 putt par.
Good luck to @quicktempo and my pod-mate @jack67 going forward!
I definitely had those lined up well, and as I have done before, tried to let my opponent all the way back in. Ellsworth was awesome, I wish it was closer to my house. I’d be there all the time. It asks for a plethora of shots, and the practice facility looks really cool. So big thanks to @nohio for showing it off to me, and for a great match.
