Official scouting report:

Vanity handicap is real right now - had a solid streak of rounds before wedding season, then didn’t play for a month. Will the honeymoon glow up be enough to compensate for a month off? ā€œRest vs Rustā€ etc etc…

Will also be attending a Halloween party the night before. Though I tend to read greens better with sunglasses on anyways…

If paired with @Finnesotan_47 , I guarantee a full point! Vibes will be high and we’ve got that juju!!!

Scouting Report:

Big game hunter - I tend to elevate my play when the stakes are high (do not fact check w/ NSS5).

Hope to be rocking a fresh tan from my NIT appearance with @kirkeide1 the week prior.

Just put a new driver shaft in play - will I be able to apex the ball at more than 20 feet? Tune in to find out!

Had to look up what happened last year because I remembered we all played fairly well and finished my flask before the turn.

You guys needed career lows to take down @JT_Sing and I, 2&1. I’d love for a rematch with whomever I get paired with.

Detroit style pizza or MN/Midwest tavern style?

Golf ball of choice this year?

It was an extremely fun day, while listening to the beginning of the Josh Dobbs rollercoaster! I’m ashamed at myself for being on the ball and getting signed up. I think I’m number 50 right now. :cry:

If I can only eat one I’d pick Detroit style but Tavern style if everyday consumption.

Start with Pro V1xs and then slowly accumulate woods balls.

Being the Captain of the winning FF team is something I take a lot of pride in

Something I would love to share that honor in, but will also be gracious in defeat if the cards unfold that way. I’m so excited to have 50 or so of Northstar’s best battling it out in NOVEMBER. God I love this group

I will be calling for handicap investigations of your team if they win.

An inconsistent player that has gotten more so since we welcomed our boy to the world in June. Have some good feel around the greens and can get hot from midrange as well useless off the tee. So somewhere in between is what I am expecting at this time of the year. :rofl:

Scouting Report:

Rollercoaster of emotions at the moment. Started playing in 2019 when Top Golf opened and haven’t looked back. Best rough index was a 8.2 during COVID and ballooned back to about 11.5 after 2 kids. Dropped back down to about 9.2 this past year, albeit not playing as frequently.

  • Driver is feeling mighty solid and always makes an appearance towards the end of the season.
  • Iron play as of late has been volatile the last couple months, only due to the fact I have maybe 3 rounds in the last 2 months. However, they can get hot overnight, which is due.
  • Short game saves my ass more than I would like just due to volatility of my approach game at times.

Best rounds:

  • Broke 80 with a 79 at Highland last year to finish the season.
  • On pace thru 16 to shoot 79 at Victory Links Thursday before the Monday Qualifiers for the 3M this year, lost it on 17 and 18 to finish 81. Felt unreal to play that well in tournament conditions.

Goals:

  1. Play more next year
  2. Consistent high 70s/low 80s instead of high 80s/low 90s (attainable if step 1 is achieved)
  3. Get fitted - bag is completely pieced together second hand, would love to see what I can do with some new/fitted tools

Just looking to enjoy the time out with other sickos and be part of golf community. Current friends don’t really commit to playing.

52 dudes. This part of the country breeds the heartiest of hearty.

If I somehow manage to get free on the 3rd, I’ll just bring a foursome.

@kirkeide1 @BigTex
