Thank you everyone for another wonderful experience. I don’t believe I actually thought about work today. You’re all aces in my book.
Big ups to the Eastern Washington gents and their first class treatment of me. Ryan, Luke and Charlie… truly appreciate you fellas.
Ice cream buddies for life.
Essig you’re the best. Buy you coffee anytime man.
Jamie, Andy, Miles and Sarah. Truly loved our rounds. Super relaxing.
And congrats again to Jason, hope I’m not getting the name wrong. You deserve the win man. Class act.
View from Snake River in Pasco to cap the day.
PNW Roost is the real winner here. Can’t wait for next year!!!
Addendum. Matt…other Matt. Thank you so much for the ride to Pasco man. You’re legit.

Just got back home to the Bay Area and am still buzzing from an awesome 3 days at Wine Valley. Caught up with some old friends, and made some new ones - couldn’t ask for much more. Congrats @rabsie on the win. We played together in round 1, and it was an awesome round - including some crazy putting stats - one 4-putt, a couple of 3-putts, but he also made 4 putts over 35+ feet. @b_lehmann and I were on the receiving end, as we lost our match to Chris and @Mattyeds pretty handily, but no shame in losing to the champ.
Already looking forward to OP4!

Just about to get on my ferry back to the island and still buzzing from a great weekend.
Great to spend two days playing with @anon24074719. Could not have had a better cart partner. Also great to finally meet in person a bunch of people. I’m going to miss some names but really glad to have met @astrodupes (and to have witnessed his spectacular Saturday round including an effortless looking eagle), @lazyjk, @avess and @SeaSpoke
The PNW Roost Crew are always incredibly welcoming and I look forward to playing with them again.
Wine Valley was everything it is said to be. A fantastic, challenging but incredibly fair layout. Playing from 6700 yards definitely challenged me but I’m glad to say that I met that challenge on one day.
Finally, thanks to @MrVinegar206 . You make it look easy but having run a couple of one-day, in-town 12-person events, I have a new appreciation for the amount of effort you put in. Thanks for an amazing event and I’ll be back.

Now that the dust has settled, I’m calling on @RyMo and @MrVinegar206 to issue a formal apology. I’ve drafted a response, feel free to copy and paste
"I, [insert name], formally apologize to fishtopher18 for ever doubting his astute course management on the 9th hole at Wine Valley. I will be better in the future and trust that a player of fishtopher18’s caliber understands the risks and rewards. I now see that the 95 yard shot to the back tier on 9 is a fully acceptable risk.
Signed [insert name]"

@anon24074719 would love to hear a report on the Pasco Airport from a first time traveler.

Pasco airport was great. 5:30 flight this morning. 1 minute walk from rental drop off to check in. 5 minutes checking bag. 2 minutes through pre check.

Echo all. Curbside drop off from @MrVinegar206 and straight through checkin and precheck in ~8 minutes. Nice little lounge and bar & grill to pass the time. No complaints, would recommend.

What a wonderful weekend Walla Walla turned out to be.
It was special to me in the fact is was a de facto “Goodbye” to the place I called home for 18 years. I couldn’t ask for a better group to spend it with. Ice Cream stops with @TheHonChiefJustice, Watching my man @Rickdiculous absolutely thrive on Saturday and grind his way to a great round and dinner at Passatempo with @fishtopher18 and the champ @rabsie.
Lowlights of locking my keys in my car at WV or almost losing my beloved ChipO on 4 were negated by the group of people we were with.
The competition is secondary in my mind to the “hang” with everyone. Cannot wait for OP4 (wherever it may be). I will travel anywhere for it.
@MrVinegar206 deserves all the kudos for putting up with the shit levied at him from the PNW Crew. He’s 1 in a million and I can’t thank the guy enough.

Shot of the champ, @rabsie carrying me from 1 tee all the way to 16 green where I proceeded to drip an 8ft slider down the hill to “contribute” and slam the door on @catshannon and @b_lehmann.
First blood in what I’m sure will be an annual match.

Y’all were too much for us, I’ll admit. But we’ll be back, likely with different putters

What a weekend.
Upfront thanks so much to @MrVinegar206. As everyone has said he is a stand up individual, and puts his heart and soul into these events.
Wine Valley showed out again. (@Sarah: it fuqs) It’s such a fun course and players at every skill level were able to play their best golf. 14-18 is an all time stretch.
It was great playing with you @catshannon and @b_lehmann - could not have taken drinks from two better blokes. Can’t wait for the rematch!
Anytime I can get out with the @PNWCrew is fantastic - we really got lucky with this group of unabashed sickos. Thanks for another great event!
