Return of the “Ope”-in - August 18th and 19th 2023: The Battle for Stattis

It’s legitimately fun to age out of the age that dictates modern slang. Making fun of the youths is so much more enjoyable than trying to keep up with them.

EDIT: If you could pack an extra pair of socks in your golf bag just in case that’d be great.

This Gen Z decoder is still not helping me understand what you just typed.

To be fair, it’s a two-way street with @OffTheDole and I.

Definitely down for something like this

Another quick way to get auto-likes is to join us on Mondays for the low-key Zooms

Been meaning to join one of the Monday zooms and was excited that it was Monday and could get in there tonight. Then realized it’s Wednesday. Been messed up with days this whole week.

As an aside, zooms are not beholden to Monday nights. Strongly considering Friday afternoon happy hour during the summer

@midwestgolfbum I unfortunately am going to have to back out due to a bachelor party being scheduled on this date!

I won’t request to play with anyone in particular, but it will be my goal to enhance the experience of the people I play with. And I do hope pairings get shuffled after each round.

What is the quality standard for raffle items? Things that would MSRP for the $50-$100 range?

Whatever you wish to donate. I know @ajvhandel talked about getting some stuff from his employer which may or may not be a tool company named after a city. I’ll likely toss in a round at my club (yes, I know Tyson) and some other stuff.

Truly, you want to donate a gift card for $20, that’s fine. You want to donate $2000 worth, also fine. I’m not going to set any rules and just hope we can get some nice stuff to raise some money for the kids.

I’ll look through the stash and see if there is something I can come up with to donate.

Does the Ope have a logo? If so, can I get a pdf of it?

Truly nobody should feel they HAVE to donate a thing. I know that I, @Battisstatus, and the fine folks at Gillette will appreciate it.

Batty, if you wish to tell a little about what they mean to you, the floor is yours. If you don’t wish to, that’s fine too.

Because I like to gamble, I’ll likely run a little 50/50 raffle while we are there, too

I am going to try to put something together with some golf adjacent items only available exclusively internally at my employer.

Also, how long before I start casually threatening the Ope! Brewery guy if he doesn’t donate to the raffle?

May or may not be getting a fellow well-known and widely admired Regufee/Nesticle involved on a potential raffle item as well. More to come here but I’m excited. And @Forty, @midwestgolfbum should have the tourney logo finished soon (week or so I think).
