We have plenty, we just don’t have anybody dumb enough to want to run it.

I don’t have the time, others I’ve talked to are in the same boat. The last time I organized a state wide thing, it was a bunch of work for a very small number of people to actively participate, a few more to sort of participate, and the rest just not giving a shit.

Also, be careful what you wish for. It’s my understanding we have many big sticks laying roost dormant right now.

I am dumb enough to do it, but for

One of the rules I try to live by is don’t ask anyone to do something I wouldn’t do and I’m not willing/don’t have the capacity to go beyond a generous version of the Milwaukee metro area for this. Call me old fashioned, but it feels super scummy to come in with demands that exclude a significant portion of your roost square mileage right out of the box. And I mean no offense to my brethren in the great white northern parts of Wisconsin, it’s just not something I can pull off.

To be fairrrrrrrrrrr

We’ve got NW Wisconsin covered. And most of your peoples are in Milwaukee/Madison general region. You can still accept people from wherever they are - NE Iowa, Rockford area, hell @JScore already withdrew his NSU membership, probably because he’s sick of me. But you don’t have to bend over backwards to accommodate their location, if that makes sense. Hold events and meetups in places that make the most sense for most of your members, and the people will come if they want to get involved.

I would feel terrible leaving the fine folk of NW Wisconsin covered under a Minnesota flag.

Whatever, they’re used to it. Just as many Viking bars as Packer ones in that part of the world.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh, this is not what I needed headed into the holiday break. I predict I get just bored enough by the 26th that I start sending 2am texts to @midwestgolfbum with a 5 point plan for how we pull this off.

Be the change you want to see in the world on the Nest. That’s how I ended up co-running the Ohio Match Play.

I fear change, only to be overmatched by my FOMO, which is further compounded by a born a bred competitive (healthy) bent towards Minnesota and Illinois.

Fun fact, this is actually OHIO’S fault over a, pre-Wisconsin existing, skirmish involving Toledo of all places.

Good news is I barely sleep so I’ll probably be just insane enough to help

As an Ohioan I hate this fact. Michigan got such a good deal out of that “war” in getting the entire UP.

Similarly, why the fuck isn’t this Maryland.
