Didn’t everyone delete WhatsApp and replace it with Signal or Telegram?

LMAO at people who still believe they have privacy

Just being difficult here, but all important comms will still come through the forum, yes? WhatsApp sucks.

MrVinegar206 · March 31, 2021, 3:04am

Of course. Most people use the chat to organize meeting spots for dinner and drinks and stuff.

All important stuff will still be posted here.

Like,

April 12th

for example… IYKYK

National Grilled Cheese Day is in fact one of my favorite holidays.

I know

@bmasters @jluke @wyoung23 @TheHonChiefJustice

Good news! I’ve been able to expand the field to 60 for all three days, so you’re all now in!

Ben, you’re good, but the other 3 of ya, please fill out this spreadsheet!

Here are the scorecards again to help fill it out:

MrVinegar206:

There are multiple advantages to using quota. I won’t get into specifics, but I’m keeping it open for people to choose to play what tees they want during the event. The floor I’m setting is the tees must be at least 6000 yards. The handicaps used for your quota will be the course handicap from those tees that day.

With the tees you choose, I will try to have groupings organized by tee, so players aren’t playing from different tees in each group.

If you need a guideline, I’m an average-hitting 8 handicap and the tees I’ll be playing are Blue, Sand, and Tourney.

Are you shorter hitter who shouldn’t be playing from 6600? Move up a tee or to the combo.
Are you like @davidc and will try to play The Home Course from the Dynamite tees and get blown up? You can try (don’t recommend it).
Will @sundaybag try to tee it back at Chambers for #content? It’s an option.

To save you some time, here are the scorecards from the three courses we will be playing.

@miketerps08 if you’re still on the fence…

Accuweather is projected out to the 14th and is showing a 67 degree day. Hoping for a gorgeous weekend.

MrVinegar206 · March 31, 2021, 5:37pm

You know this is in May and not April, right? lol

oski · March 31, 2021, 5:41pm

@Paulie is correct!

MrVinegar206 · March 31, 2021, 5:44pm

There’s no way to trust a forecast a month and a half out

@OliveLoaf, please come back me up

OliveLoaf · March 31, 2021, 5:46pm

can confirm

Paulie · March 31, 2021, 6:21pm

You have to believe in something. I lived there, and I can’t trust a forecast 48 hours out.

jluke · March 31, 2021, 6:33pm

Without going back through the entire thread, has a location to stay for Salish Cliffs been decided?

MrVinegar206 · March 31, 2021, 6:36pm

Salish was dumped early on. My original post is too old to edit now

Friday 5/14 at The Home Course
Saturday 5/15 at Chambers Bay
Sunday 5/16 at Gold Mountain (Olympic)

The hotel block I had is closed now for additions, so you are on your own for accommodations if you want it. Sorry!

jluke · March 31, 2021, 6:36pm

All good. I can find my own setup in Tacoma. Thanks!

bmasters · March 31, 2021, 6:49pm

If anyone that just got in from the waitlist is looking to team up for lodging, let me know!

JamesHCard · March 31, 2021, 6:59pm

The fact you haven’t booked that AirBNB with the odd family photos already is really disappointing.
