That’s a pretty good line. Personally I would go 9-1 gross

Come on, 8.5-1.5, there are 9 decent holes at Edin

What a fantastic question! In no particular order…

@craftylefty and I were paired together last year. He planted this seed already in the discord, but we both shot career low rounds and the vibes were off the charts. Running that back not only seems like sound strategy, but an awesome afternoon. It would also be a great opportunity to hear about his wedding that recently took place!

@bobs219 also comes to mind. Our last round at Gross was one for the ages. I watched his match play bracket match go well into extra holes and he was victorious. Just an awesome afternoon followed up with some delicious Detroit style pizza at Falling Knife Brewing.

Last, but not least is a bit of a cop out. I’d want to be paired with someone I haven’t met yet. Half the fun is just getting to know a fellow golf sicko!

Honorable mention is @freesypop because that would mean he would be attending this year…

Same here. But I am the official Gross Stan.

I think that match went 26 holes and I shot a (then) career low in the first 18.

That pizza and beer was so, so good. A 10/10 day.

Would ride with @Finnesotan_47 any damn day

Personal scouting report:

Inconsistent mid handicap who just put a new driver in the bag. Will absolutely make a bad swing/decision at the worst possible time. Have birdie bottle, will travel.

Ayyyyyyyyy. Game’s feeling pretty alright right now. Flirted with some really low rounds throughout the summer.

Currently have the TSR3 with a Ventus TR Blue in the bag, but the driver and I haven’t exactly been seeing eye to eye lately. Usually a club I lean on, but it’s been kind of giving me some fits recently.

Best memory was making @Mystic look even worse than Zach Johnson out at Keller. His squad managed a .5 pt that day.

@Mystic

Original Malt Shop or Keys Cafe?

I’m think you meant to say I managed a .5 point that day, rest of the the team managed a :doughnut:.

Since they’ve changed the name from Snuffy’s I’m in the Keys Cafe camp now.

OK, let’s dig deeper on this. I’ve found not all Key’s locations are created equal. What’s your preferred spot? #PleasedontstalkMystic

I only go to the one closest to my house which is the Roseville one, and it would never be my first choice when going out. Breakfast is fine, don’t think I’ve ever eaten anything else there.

For scouting report purposes I was @Mystic partner that day! I thought that .5 point was going to be huge in the grand scheme of things. Turned out, not so much.

This reminds me of last year when we are coming up 18 in the last match and it’s all square. As I’m walking up to my putt, @freesypop tells me I have to win the match because the whole thing is square.

I legitimately got a little tense and spent a lot of time reading the putt and talking with @a-double-u about the read and the speed.

Turns out Freesy was messing with me and the match was inconsequential :joy::joy::joy:

Haha same for me. We were one down heading into 18 and hit it to 2 feet on 18 to win the hole. I guess it put some point(s) on the board regardless. :rofl:

Ok had to think about the scouting report a bit

Driver is longish, usually a good right to left ball, big right miss does lurk.
When the driver doesn’t cooperate, we go with the old 2 iron stinger to get back on track. Decent with my irons. Wedge game is my forte, up and down from a trash can when things are really humming along. Putter has been better lately after considering a change early this season.

Shot an absolute million at Cornstalk for a number of reasons, top among them being a very large guy. Games is trending positively as I try to make the regional team for Great Plains Golf Club.

Feel like I’m a good vibes guy, may need @bignanski to vouch for me a bit, not to put pressure on him. Will be bringing the speaker for college football in the cart. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Can confirm. No lies detected in the handle, and the sweeping draw is enviable.

No that’s my fault. Still thinking about our event last Saturday and I misspoke.
