Roll Call: North Carolina

i know scrambles aren’t really a big hit with the NLU community, but i wanted to throw this out there none the less.

a good buddy of mines mom is currently battling Multiple Myeloma; unfortunately shortly after her diagnosis she found herself without a job and insurance.

As a result we are putting together a little tourney at an absolute goat ranch in Kernersville, NC in an attempt to raise some funds for her.

Looking for hole sponsors, donations for prizes as well as teams to enter, please let me know if you are interested or you can reach out to the email on the flyer below…

a non profit has been established for tax purposes for anyone interesting in sponsoring or donating.

I’ve got two Sunday tickets to Congaree and a parking pass, unfortunately I can’t make it so free to the first person who messages me. Cheers

Pine knolls bucks in the scramble tournament arena. I played one out there a few weeks ago, now I see two more

Knolls was my home course for high school golf. Definitely didn’t buck back then haha. New ownership and some money injected in since

Did you play for northwest?

East Forsyth 07-11

Northwest shared Bryan Park with Grimsley if I remember right

No way haha. I bet we played against each other. I was at Grimsley 2008-12

I remember we played matches against northwest at pine knolls until they realigned conferences after my freshman year

Haha yeah we switched my sophomore year. Diluted a great conference. Northwest, you guys, us and Page. Glenn wasn’t great but their number one played at NC state. Pretty solid group of players

Yeah we used to go back and forth weekly. After realignment we were just competing with southeast really. Page got better but it was a two horse race (which we won every time but they gave us a run)

would have loved to do it at holly ridge but they were booked for the rest of the year with tourneys out there

so they dude who killed the geese out there a few years back doesnt still own it?

Uh I had never heard about that story haha but it is under new management. I haven’t personally played it but friends back home have said they are putting money in and the course is looking pretty solid

well thats good to hear i guess…its a fun little course and the people out there are cool; definitely a goat ranch thats always wet AF but its kernersville after all

those dudes are heros…

goose shit on my push cart wheels is always a problem

not acceptable

when i was at RTJ they had a bad ass Spaniel, maybe a Springer, that was trained out the ass that would run the geese off…shit was incredible to watch; she would swim them fucking things across Lake Manassas to the other course

Geese are protected under the migratory bird act. Sorry, we don’t own the world. They have the right to live also. Not to mention there are ways to discourage geese without killing them. Check out Goose Masters. They do some pretty cool work with dogs.

I wanted to beat the shit out of some child at my club a month or so ago, he was throwing golf balls at geese from mere steps away. His grandfather/father was doing nothing about it, and looked at me like I was crazy for pulling him up about it. Should have just pelted the kid with balls until he got the message.
