Ope 4 - July 11th and 12th, 2025 (Raffle sheet in post 3800)

Mixed bag. I would like to think that people who contribute to the cooler will also be the ones who grab a beer out of it. Also, getting drinks from the course is certainly encouraged, as well, as they are nice enough to turn a blind eye to us gathering behind the green post golf too.

And, to that point, when/if we do gather again, please, please, PLESE return carts first.

This is so the 11 year olds working at Lawsonia don’t stay up past their bedtime of 8PM

They for sure don’t have a bedtime. (or rules of any kind, for that matter)

I think I saw one of those kids at the Goose Blind ripping a heater.

TBD: Match Play Qualifier (Lawsonia-Links) - Individual (Stroke Play) Leaderboard | WSGA

WSGA comes in hard when they play “how far back is too far back”. 4 holes in and they’re sticking a fork in anyone more than 3 strokes back.

“NOT CURRENTLY IN CONTENTION” is such a Midwest passive aggressive way of saying “predicted cut line”

That’s right friends, it’s finally here, the sign up sheet for…

OPE CUP FOR A CAUSE 2: THE BATTLE OF THE PATS

That’s right, folks, a battle of epic proportions will take place at this years Ope.

Our friends @ReallyFatPat and @ThatDuffGuyPat will serve as captains of this years event.

Pats, each of you will be entitled to select 1 Vice Captain prior to the draft.

Draft Date: TBD, likely in a few weeks

THE CAUSE :

This year’s FORMAT will be different

We are going to be playing a game I’ve dubbed Birdie Ball

Rules: each captain will select (via draft) teams of their choosing. For the remainder of the weekend, competition will be based on combined total of birdies made by each team. The team that makes the most birdies wins.

Now, before I get the question of will this be net birdies or gross birdies- I’m going to say it will be whatever UKG actually allows us to do. Ideally it would count any and all birdies but we’re at the mercy of the technology itself.

This FORMAT allows any and all group combinations for tee times as well as allows those in the regional to play too if they should so chose. In theory it should be easy for everyone.

The Prize : The Friends we made along the way… oh, and this

Entry: Please send $20 to @midwestgolfbum via Venmo as this year is to make one large donation to Fitchburg Serenity Club as opposed to a bunch of micro donations.

Thank you friends. Let’s have a blast.

I have to hand it to you. One post and we’re already 1000% more organized than last year.

Although I will miss the ‘what’s the format Batty?!?’ memes.
