I feel like TBagg & the Dirty Niblicks is a great band name from the 60s/70s.

Just listened to pod today - weâve come a long way in less than 12 months. Excited for 2023 season and all that will entail.

After listening to the Trap Drawâs Chop Session with @Randy and @Tron, I cannot see any reason they are not heading to the BC Coast for this event. As we pointed out already, it will be a Womanâs National Open at a great course, Vancouver has Michelin restaurantsâŚ
and we do have our hot dog buns in bags of a half dozenâŚcome on Gents.
I will addâŚa great minor league ball park, a great Ferry system to hop over to Vancouver Island, and the Butchart GardensâŚas pointed out on a previous Trap DrawâŚtop 5 Botanical Garden in the world.
Any absence will be seen as a slight to our great nationâŚand sorry for our Boysâ performance in the Presidentâs Cup.

I donât disagree with you except my kids are at the age where this is the perfect winter break weather. I get them out of my house instead of inside saying theyâre bored with all the rain!!

Yes it is nice to see the kids enjoying the snowâŚI just donât want it for my 2 weeks off 
I was so bored yesterday I was out shovelling other peopleâs walks. Made for a much better dog walk this morning though.
Also feel terrible for those trying to travel right now.

Yup⌠my cousin was supposed to go tropical with family yesterday and @MoneyBagg was supposed to take ferry to van. Now their reservation is gone and he has to lineup with two kids for who knows how long in ferry lineups.

I was looking at YVR on FlightRadar24 yesterday. Because flights werenât going out, planes landing (mostly long-haul) didnât have gates to go to. Saw flights from India, Japan and New Zealand where the plane landed and then sat on taxiways for over 4 hours. Canât imagine how frustrating that would be.

Came across this tonightâŚhoping it gets approved, and could make for some great golf with it and Chambers not too far apart. David McLay Kidd as the proposed architect.

Just got in my car and randomly caught DMK on Seattle sports radio talking about this. Sadly I missed most of it.

Happy New Year everyone.
Iâm a long time NLU listener/watcher, but have never been a message board guy. In any case, Christmas break always leads me down golfing rabbit holes, and I have found my way back to the NLU message board. Looks like there is a growing community in BC and on the Island where I live (Victoria). I would love to join your conversations, and would be keen to participate in future events.
Sounds like I need to ask to join the Mayhem Roost. If someone is willing to welcome me into the fold, I would be eternally grateful.
Looking forward to a new year of golf and golf conversation.

Mayhem GC Roost Announcement
Thanks to the hard work & interest of Gogolfing (Scott), MarkInVictoria (Mark) & MoneyBagg(Mark) - Mayhem GC is pleased to announce the formation of our Roostâs newest chapter - âIsland Mayhemâ.
The purpose of Island Mayhem is to create local meetup opportunities for our Vancouver Island Roost members.

Island Mayhem is being run by Scott & the two Markâs.
Head over the Mayhem GC forum to find the link to the sign up sheet. If you donât have access to Mayhem GC forum yet then send me a DM and I will get you hooked up.
For 2023 - the plan is a 3-event series with a cumulative winner. However, each event will be run independantly so itâs not mandatory to attend all 3 events in order to participate. If you can only make one event then come on out.
Event Dates: Victoria (April 29 or 30); Duncan (May 27 or 28); Nanaimo (Jun 25)
âThe Top ââNESTââ member finisher in the Island Mayhem Series will earn a MAYHEM REGIONAL REP spot in our Regional Championship vs PNW Crew & NorCal.â
Additional Prizes & Titles⌠details to be worked out.
Lower Mainlanders are welcome as well if you want to make the trip over!

@duncmitchell May 27-28 is that you? I am 90% sure I will be coming to Victoria on the 28th for a conference. Definitely bringing my sticks if I am going.
Scott, Mark, and Mark. As the above note indicates I am likely travelling from Ontario for a work conference in May and will be looking for a game or two. Thinking Bear Mountain might be a good spot. Would love to coordinate a game.
