Roll Call: Minnesota Part 2 - SIM MEETUP post 9471

Anybody in here a member at Golden Valley or know someone at Golden Valley that can help me purchase a pin flag from there? Would really like one for sentimental reasons. Please DM me if anyone can help.

Thanks!

Last bump of the TT - this Sunday at Loggers trail starting at 11 am. We’ve got one full foursome open that we’d love to fill. If you’re kinda sorta thinking about it, I’d encourage you to throw your name in there - I promise it’ll be a fun time.

honestly if we dont have a member in here. your best bet is to probably email the super.

Hadn’t even given that a thought. I’ll see if anyone hits me up and try that next. Appreciate the idea!

Disgusting of you to leave off the headlining sponsors

Any Trampled By Turtles fans looking for tickets on September 16th? Was going for Caamp and they just cancelled the remainder of their tour.

2 Tickets General Admission. Paid $100, looking to get some of it back.

Considering it appears to be 100% torn up right now I bet the shop would be happy to ship you one.

That’s actually a fair point. If at any point they’d be willing to sell something to some schlub it would be now.

Esteemed colleagues and @Mystic:

We’ve (I’ve) elected to change the format of the TT from a free-for-all to a Ryder cup style dual to the death. Team grape juice (captained by myself) will be taking on team ginger ale (captained by @Mystic) in (3) fourball matches.

We’ll be holding a refuge-style draft tomorrow at 7 pm and will choose among these participants:

@DeLove
@charvey
@TommyBuns
@ForeRight46
@MNLefty
@SBST
@StrokesGainedDrunk
@aspoiledwalk

We can certainly make that happen

Speaking of Golden Valley…does any other “top tier” club in the Twin Cities publish their dues structure? And is anyone struggling to fill out their membership?

GVCC is doing a membership drive during the reno (yikes?) and is advertising pretty hard, especially considering the course is closed all year. They also claim a major pool upgrade is coming next year (double yikes?). Is everything alright over there?

Link: GVCC Membership Opportunities

I last searched in 2017-2018, but the only places I remember having “drives” or “deals” were Minnesota Valley (post-Reno) and Oak Ridge (pre-re-grassing). MV was something like if you joined in August for 2500 down, you got a lower initiation or maybe deferred dues? OR had a deal where $500 got you unlimited club/golf access for 1 month during the summer.

Midland (pre-Reno) sent me a membership info sheet while I was living in Chicago, before I moved here. I can’t remember the details or if there was a deal there.

I bet they are losing some members during closure, transparency might help them recruit, but who knows?

I recently reached out to Oak Ridge about membership due to my proximity to the course. If anyone is interested in specifics reach out via DM and I can send over the info.

High level, I think it is a little more up front and monthly than GVCC based on what was posted above. The membership person said they were close to going on a waiting list at ORCC for the full golf membership.

Let’s go team!

It wouldn’t be right to not have @charvey on team Ginger (Ale)

@Mystic playing to what I assume is like a 19 and @charvey at a 4.1 puts us at quite a disadvantage out the gate.

HOWEVA… my gui @JMK can help right the ship!

It no coincidence that ginger ale and sand are close to the same color! If only I could get @chefcycle and @phrodo on my team we’d be unstoppable!

Alas @MNLefty will bring the heat for the squad.

@freesypop you’re up
