Is this the Local 784 (The Billable Battalion)?
Can I pick all of them? I wish we could make it a weeklong event and play with everyone.
If forced, I’d pick the people i’ve interacted the most with but haven’t played with yet. Over the 4 rounds…

Good, because I only do longform.
I’m a traditionalist and according my mom an “old soul” which means I’m keeping it real with an OG number 1, whopper with everything meal. Now, I’m just starting my journey rediscovering BK, so once I’ve sufficiently explored the entire flavor profile of the OG whopper meal, I’ll start branching out. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. I’d also be remiss if I didn’t share my favorite BK memory from growing up in Green Bay, the limited edition Gilbertburger, named after Packers nose tackle Gilbert Brown. Basically a double whopper with double everything.
This is a wildly unfair question as both serve 2 wildly different purposes in my life. HB is the everyday wear to work option. In the winter months I’ve been layering a polo with a betts Sedge pullover to work as a subtle nod to the other sickos in the office to come find me. Nobody has said anything yet…
However, the Greyson experience as awakened something that has been laying dormant inside me for a long time and allowed me to embrace my true nature from a style perspective. See, the modern corporate world is designed to suffocate style and creativity as we’re all trapped in sensible polos and crisp slacks. Add my wife into the mix who has been all but begging me to wear more black and “outfits that actually match” for basically our entire relationship and I’ve basically felt dead inside about my wardrobe.
Enter Greyson. I’ll never forget the first polo I saw with wolves, snakes, random birds, racoons, and some lizards all living in harmony in pink and teal hues and I’ve never felt more ALIVE. We’ve since added various loud florals, puffins, chili peppers, some tribal designs, things of that nature. My favorite piece is a sherpa 1/4 zip I plan on wearing this weekend on a family ski trip. It’s been hanging in our closet for a bit and I can tell my wife has moved it to look at it, but has said NOTHING to me about it, which is a dead giveaway she fucking hates it. Will she let me out of the house with it on Friday when we leave for the airport?? Stay tuned!
TLDR - Greyson.
I’m going to stretch this a little to include the clubhouse, because so much random shit happens in that clubhouse. The group of nuns coming out of the bar is something I’ll never forget. Last year, how shockingly small and young the bag attendants are is burned in my brain. I think about Nancy at the turn house on Links about once a month as a perfect symbol for what I think the Ope is.
I don’t think I laugh so much on a golf course more than these 4 rounds. Every group I’ve played with has been great and I wouldn’t trade these experiences for anything. One specific golf course story that I treasure is last year, second day Links, I’m in a cart with @bignanski. We’re in the last group so we had a lot of time in the bar before teeing off. And then we probably drank the cart out of moon mans. We get to 13, we both hook it left off the tee and end up around either 15 or 16. We go over there and low and behold the regional teams for Illinois and Indiana just happen to be there, playing the regional. We introduce ourselves and convince them to take a shot with us in the middle of the regional competition. I don’t know why I find this so funny, but the visual of the 2 other captains, drunk, giving the 2 other state’s regional competitors shots in the middle of the competition pretty much exactly sums up my approach to this whole thing. I’m also probably remembering this wrong, which I know @bignanski will point out.
I’m frantically trying to find the live performance of Pink Pony Club at the Grammy’s from last night, LOOK HOW BIG THAT FUCKING HORSE IS!!!
Thank you everyone here. The Ope and the Ope community rule. Thank you Evan, without you I don’t do any of this. You are the first person I met IRL and I wouldn’t have done The Supper Club without you.
Then you’re missing out.
That was gold.
This guy?
This halfway house?
@freesypop just staring into their souls. Really could’ve added some hands on the hips to bring the look together.
That’s pretty much how I remember it, which isn’t saying a lot.
Also interesting strategic choice to keep Jacob out of your H&B analysis.
The children yearn for the mines bag drop!
He could be 16 or 36.
I of course read it all. I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to meme.
Hopefully you are a WalMart+ member for that 15% off at BK.
I’ve sworn off all big box retail forever.
I guarantee Nancy dropped this on them.
I love this.
What @mikedabomb said reminded me of how I found my new idol, an older dude with a loud bag and hilariously large headcovers. I believe he was also wearing cargo shorts.
I wouldn’t rock the iron covers though. #toolsnotjewels.
You’re gorgeous!
In the interests of peace, I would like to make a donation to the charity that is supported by this tournament.
Those four chucklefucks each individually ordered like six things.
“Oh I’ll actually add a snickers to that. Do you know if fireball’s any good?”
Group your order and have a little self awareness, fellas.
