Hello again. It’s that time to run back the Ope again for 2025. The plan is that this will be used as a roost regional again, so long as the captains are good with that. If not, we will just use those spots as a fun way to remind everybody where this event really started.
I have left the top fields unlocked for the Roost participants once they are determined. If you make me regret doing that, I will move you to the bottom of the waitlist and then lock down those cells. Please don’t be that gui.
I’m asking for GHIN numbers this year, but those will not be needed until closer to the event if you don’t want to fill that out quite yet.
Tee times have officially been locked down for up to 96 attendees, including the regional attendees, with the following details:
When: Friday and Saturday, July 11th and 12th, 2025
Where: The Golf Courses of Lawsonia
Time: Tee times begin on the Links AND Woodlands at 7 AM and again Links and Woodlands in the afternoon starting at 12:30. This puts us with 12 tee times on each course in both the morning and the afternoon on both days. It’s the only way to accommodate the larger group and paves a path toward renting out the place for 2 days in the future.
Cost: $400 for unlimited play, which will include a small portion to the charity and a $20 hole in one pool, which if one is not made, will go directly to charity.
Charity: This year we are supporting one of The Supper Club’s very own, who lost his father earlier this year. Should that member wish to speak publicly about that, I will give him the opportunity to do so, but won’t tag him out of respect. The charity is https://fitchburgserenityclub.com/, who does some incredible work in the local community and is working on building a new clubhouse to expand their offerings.
$400 is the baseline cost for the golf, but I will look to include other miscellaneous items so don’t assume this is the final cost to attend. Like last year, I will begin asking for payment around 70 days out from the event or mid-May. This coming year I there will be a single tag, and nothing more, as I have real life things to attend to and chasing after people for money isn’t going to be high on that list.
Inside of 30 days, refunds with NOT be given, as I have to pay the $36,480 bill 30 days out. If you will need a refund at this point, you’ll have to find somebody on the waitlist to take your spot.
This year we will NOT have the house next to the clubhouse called the Dawson House as it was already filled. That is something that @chefcycle has made sure I won’t forget for future years and I love him for it.
The signup sheet is below and will take the first 75 before starting a waiting list for when some inevitably cancel. Remember folks, I went through 51 people in 2024, put your name on the list!
Alert those in your lives now and don’t miss out on this edition.
Questions? Always important to remember that I really don’t care that much about them.
Your beloved dictator,
Evan
