(Registration open) Northeast NIT Qualifier: The Shepherd's Open at Keney Park (8/13/2021)

Who would have thought the loudest people in the US (New Yorkers and New Englanders) would be so quiet?

I’ll give NYC some props here as they make up the majority of the field as it stands.

Connecticut is kind of like the place “the light doesn’t touch” in the lion king. Not because Connecticut is evil, but just because it’s that damn boring compared to the cities it is suspended between.

Wait does this mean @Double_Bogey_Dave is going to be there??

I tried looking for a spreadsheet of who is showing up, but I failed to find one, so forgive me if I somehow missed a way to find out the answer for myself :sweat:

I probably cannot make it due to a pretty heavy workload in August and September, however I am trying to figure out a way to make it work.

We’re currently at 30 participants and hoping to get closer to 50 by month end.

A soft deadline to signup is 7/31 for anyone else that still wants to get involved. We are working with @Geaugolf on a special headcover that I plan to auction off for charity and we will have other raffles/prizes to help support the charity.

For those that have signed up, keep an eye out for an email in the next week or so with more details on the day. Just over 3 weeks away and can’t wait to meet everyone!

Would love to play but I will be in Nantucket that week because I am a native Bostonian who now lives in Fairfield County and I’ve been told that’s what I’m supposed to do in the summer. Next year!

Doing my part to put an end to these libelous statements on the Massachusetts delegation. I am in. See you folks there!

We got some movement on the merch front. @Geaugolf has done her amazing work to give us a headcover that will either be auctioned off or presented to a winner. In addition I just received some merch from NLU and my man @Hench, who created the logo, is working on some merch orders of anyone is interested.

Somehow got it in my head this event was on a Saturday and I could not make that day work. Fortunately, @HibernatingBear clarified it will actually take place on a Friday, and while I will not be able to hang out for very long before or after, I will be there to defend Massachusetts’s honor. Yep, me and my 24 handicap, are ready to ride…

For anyone joining us on 8/13 and NOT getting my emails please DM me ASAP. I believe I have everyone but want to make sure I’m not missing anyone. I have everyone’s email who signed up so if you’re a “+1” feel free to send me your email address.

Thank you so much for everything, everyone! I was all over the place with my irons and not super consistent with my wedges and putter….but my driver was finally cooperating and I scored my lowest!

This was so much fun, and I had a blast, even though the heat was ridiculous :hot_face:

Thank you for all that participated in the inaugural Shepherd’s Open. It was an absolute blast even in 100+ degree temps. We raised over $1000 for the charity, which was my goal for the first time doing this. Hopefully we’ll get bigger and better going forward!

Dave, you know the dates for the NIT? Just trying to have an idea when I would need to commit.

Thanks

Thank you @Cinnamon. Great time out there. @Double_Bogey_Dave do you know the dates for the NIT? That would be helpful for if I can make it or not. Would love to go but need an idea of the time frame for PTO request.
