Our boy Apples is running a skins game. All are welcome to participate!

@apples

Hey y’all - skins game signups are now open for Wine Valley. There is one skins game for saturday and one for sunday. $20 will get you in for both days ($10 per day), and it will be a 50/50 split between gross and net. If you can only enter one of the days, send me $10 and let me know which day you are signing up for. I am AT David-Appelbaum-3 on Venmo, last 4 is 8697.

[MrVinegar206]

I only have about half of you signed up for the KPs!

IF YOU ARE BRINGING CASH FOR THE EVENT ENTRY, KPs, OR SKINS, I AM GOING TO GIVE THE PRO SHOP DESK AN ENVELOPE AND STICKY NOTES THAT YOU CAN TURN IT INTO!

@MrVinegar206

Tyler Daniels, the Vine Valley Super, had to be flown to Boise for kidney failure a week ago. He was in a coma for 2 days and opened his eyes last Friday morning. According to @Tippy, Tyler the GM, and the assistant super, he’s definitely not out of the woods, and if he makes it, the road ahead is gonna be long and difficult.

This has been a tough blow to the grounds crew. They have asked that the first tee time not be until 9 that day so they can have the course ready in time.

Currently, the shotgun on Sunday is still for 8:30, but I’ll let ya know if they need to slide this back to 9:00, too.

The (hopefully, once the last two joining pay) $960 in charitable donations will be going towards Tyler’s recovery and for his family.

Some other big news:

We’ve been planning a KP on 9 where the winner receives a set of clubs donated by @RyMo . The buy in is gonna go towards Tyler’s recovery and his family as well.

Once WV heard what we were doing, they’re throwing in a KP on 14 for a free foursome of golf, too.

So, the additional $20 KP buy-in will buy you in for both. You can donate more if you wish, but the minimum to enter is $20.

We’re still figuring out which day is which. They’re gonna make sure one of the days is pin set #1 so we get a back right pin on 9. Then the other day will be on 14.

I’m now collecting the KP entries/donations. Same system as always: Send the $20 to @ Matthew-Essig (last 4 digits are 9234 if you need them) on Venmo. You can also promise to hand me cash one of the days.

Thanks for your understanding and generosity

It sounds like Saturday will be the Fish KP for free clubs, and the free foursome of golf at Wine Valley will be Sunday based on hole location order.

For the KP on Saturday, you’ll see this marker just in the right rough of #9, 95 yards out.

You can drop one ball near it, in the rough, no more than 2 clublenghts away. You will measure and pick up the ball when you reach the green. This competition is separate from the ball you have in play. The KP competition on Sunday on 14 WILL be your tee shot on the par 3. Please fill your divots when you’re done and dont take all day to hit the shot and finish the hole.

I’ll pay cash for the KP!

Are there groupings for Sundays shotgun start or are we just pulling an EAL and doing one big group

[MrVinegar206]

Starting hole is based on Saturday performance.

But I confirmed today it’ll still start at 8:30

@MrVinegar206 tee times for tomorrow are what’s in the spreadsheet, right? Confirming that they aren’t being moved back.

[MrVinegar206]

@catshannon The spreadsheet is up to date. The GGID photo I posted above also has them

[catshannon]
