[metzbuck33]

Shoutout Reid! You guys were $ that day!

[cstevens3407]

For sure! If nothing else I can just hold on to them until you have the new address - for everyone else I think they will ship directly from H&B.

[ek365210]

[J-NASTY]

Been a straight lurker as I’m a little younger than the typical demographic, but here we go:

1. high noon if anything
2. The best for a second 18 on a 36 day
3. 25 for an acceptable course. 240 (definitely more) for Moraine, Inverness, things of that nature.
4. Internalization shouldn’t count. Externally, 20-30.
5. 0. Personal accountability.
6. Lurker. Uninitiated. Bad guy all around.
7. Browns. Bengals minus the Bengals fans who insert themselves into every NFL discussion possible.
8. Yellow Creek (I know it’s not a River, it’s all water flowing downhill)
9. Hardly touch the stuff. Pop.
10. I went to school in Ada OH.
11. If we didn’t have 3 months of bad weather we would lose 95% of small talk
12. Rhinegheist Juicy Truth

[SWslinger]

1. Coffee/Vitaminwater XXX
2. Never played but am 100% in anytime
3. 120
4. 3
5. 1
6. New here
7. Grew up a Browns fan through family, don’t follow as close anymore (Soccer>)
8. “The River of Dreams” - Billy Joel
9. Pop
10. Love and Honor
11. Built Different
12. Brink was the best…NAs for me now though

[ChasingScratch]

1. Preferred during round/ after round beverage? Don’t usually drink during a round but when I do it’s a KFC (Kettle One, Fresca, Cranberry). Otherwise I’m a Gatorade gui.
2. Alt shot - the best golf game or the best game full stop? Love alt shot. We should play it more often.
3. Number of minutes it is acceptable to drive surrounded by farmland to get to the golf course? If it’s a great course and/or you’re playing with awesome people: no limit.
4. Average number of four letter words per round directed at yourself? Four. Down from about 100 when I was younger.
5. Average number of four letter words per round directed at the golf course? Zero
6. What did you think this year’s Nest gift was? (I have to be honest it took me about 4 seconds to figure it out) lame TBH
7. Browns, Bengals, or Stillers? (I could not care less but I think many of you would) Bengals. Gotta pull for the home team. Happy to be a bandwagoner.
8. Favorite river? (I don’t know why) Hudson and Mississippi (tie)
9. Soda or pop? Soda
10. Have you ever gotten drunk in a cornfield? Other agriculture locations acceptable as is “woods” yes if we are including a park in Tokyo
11. Why do we have 8 months of the worst weather but 4 months of the best? I think it’s a little more balanced than that. The answer is because no place is perfect other than San Diego.

[jgolf1]

I’m realizing more of you need to come to the Findlay event to play alt-shot. it’s genuinely the best way to play golf after “important” golf in the morning

[joecline41]

@ChasingScratch

Kettle One, Fresca, Cranberry)

This sounds pretty tasty.

[jgolf1]

They are delicious

[ChasingScratch]

Bucket of KFC, KFC extra crispy (extra kettle one).

Primo hot weather golf cocktail

[quicktempo]

1. A Fine Pilsner Beer
2. Never actually played it, think it would be fun as a second round of the day.
3. 34.5 minutes surrounded by farmland.
4. 6.9
5. I leave that to the professionals.
6. Initially went straight to Rangefinder Pouch.
7. Browns. There’s always next year. And at least we fail all the way. Bengals and Pittsburgh always get almost good and then fail.
8. The Rocky River of course.
9. I don’t consume fizzy beverages, lest they be mixed with other things (or they’re beer). So I abstain.
10. Cornfield, no. Woods, absolutely. Camping drinking is always in excess.
11. It truly hard to say. But I always get frustrated whenever family wants to go on a beach vacation in the summer. Why leave our home when the weather is the best?

[methridge]

1. Preferred during round/ after round beverage? Domestics on the course, craft or cocktail apres
2. Alt shot - the best golf game or the best game full stop? Alt shot whips, the world needs more of it
3. Number of minutes it is acceptable to drive surrounded by farmland to get to the golf course? After two trips to Nebraska, the limit does not exist
4. Average number of four letter words per round directed at yourself? Not sure, asshole is 7 letters
5. Average number of four letter words per round directed at the golf course? Swearing at the course is gauche
6. What did you think this year’s Nest gift was? pass
7. Browns, Bengals, or Stillers? Who dey
8. Favorite river? Styx
9. Soda or pop? Soda
10. Have you ever gotten drunk in a cornfield? Negative, we drank in basements in high school
11. Why do we have 8 months of the worst weather but 4 months of the best? Gotta keep the coastal elites out
12. Best Ohio Beer? Loaded question. Big fan of the Brainfreeze cold IPA from Nine Giant, but for a regularly available beer, I’ll go with Voss from Sonder.

[tmbreidenbach]

1.) Busch Light/ Water during - Draft IPA after
2.) Very enjoyable, especially when you’re mixing high/low handicappers.
3) Depending on the course quality for me. 2 hours is a good day trip amount.
4.) -/+ 18
5.) Only a few unless I’m playing with the Super. Then I’ll make all of them even if they’re not necessary.
6.) No clue lol
7.) None of above. GB for NFL - UC for College
8.) Ottawa
9.) It’s only ever been pop to me.
10.) Absolutely
11.) I think we have better weather than 4 months. I played in March-November last year.

Sign up for one of the three best refuge events that takes place in northwest Ohio!

Rust Belt Rumble 2025: 6/21/25; OATW vs FCF

Fine folks and degen members of @OhioAgainstTheWorld and @FreshCoastFlock, WE. ARE. BACK. Saturday June 21st, we will be taking over Napoleon Golf Club for the second edition of the Rust Belt Rumble. NGC is a small town municipal 9 hole course. This course and its super, Tom Schwab, were the subject of a fairly recent episode of The Fried Egg Podcast. I believe we will be the first group to ever be granted the entire course for a day (minus a few old guy regulars going off at dawn who would rai…

[PersistentlyOverPar]

NW Ohio is becoming a hot bed of events. More than any of the big three cities can claim.

[jgolf1]

I played Napoleon Muni in November in a pissing rain and it was one of the most fun rounds, genuinely, I have EVER had.

[cussingmussel]

So glad we’re running this event back this year. Having Napoleon (basically) to ourselves is sickkk. Thanks for coordinating, Conley!

[Conley76]

Last year I really wanted to get a 9 hole course to ourselves, but I couldn’t get any to respond to emails or filling out their Outing forms on their website. Thankfully, Joe suggested NGC,
and they’ve been awesome. Tom, the Super, called me one morning just to make sure the guy in charge of the booking had emailed me back (he did, right away), and we ended up just chatting for like 15 minutes about the event and golf stuff. I’m really excited for this. He said he’d get the conditions dialed how we want them leading up to the event, put the pins where we want them, change holes for us during the day, basically anything we want. I think they feel like this is going to be a good way for them to try to get on the map a little more, and test out their ability to host events like this in the future.
