St. Rappeo Classic

Sure but you have to think about the significance of holding the championship round on 3.16???

TRUE

@Zeke He is a Pastor in Virginia, the Lord has blessed him with some talent and a smooth swing!

I like the idea of Thursday Friday better as well!

Thanks @mintbucket
What the heck are we talking about that you outed me and my profession?

I need an intro to the St. Rappeo reference too.

Sorry wasn’t trying to out you. But the St Rappeo classic is up your alley.

No worries. Was just busting your chops a bit.

And thanks to this info. I’ll watch later so I can understand how Rappeo becomes a saint.

The NFL draft has been producing saints for a while now…

I am in!

Basically, myself and another pastor here in Louisiana had the idea of a No Laying Up Tournament for “Clergy.” We’re keeping the term clergy as a loose distinction. Youth ministers and Church workers are counting! The winner is the official “chaplain” of No Laying Up. Now I guess it can’t be official until Big Randy gives us the nod. I say big Randy because he seems to be the most philosophical and reflective, if not religious of the crew. Though I am counting on Tron and Neil’s backing on this thing. Who can tag him on this thread?

All in all it’s just a chance to have a golf trip with other golf obsessed pastors. We may be few, but we’re passionate.

@Randy @Tron @MerchCzar - You have been summoned by the cloth

Thereverend · July 28, 2021, 6:01pm

Why yes it is.

Thereverend · July 28, 2021, 6:03pm

Another UMC pastor here. I’m in Spartanburg and love this idea.

Zeke · July 29, 2021, 12:04am

Ah. St. Rappeo, pray for us recalcitrant sinners (golfers ahem!) May she be ever blessed.

The Dabo giveth and the Dabo taketh away.

Should the course(s) be value-centric muni tracks? We wouldn’t want to bring reproach upon the Patron Saint of cheap golf. I’m not super learned on different locales but my gut says RTJ courses don’t fit that ethos?

fr_bogeygolf · July 31, 2021, 3:04pm

A good thought, and I’m open to what everyone wants, but I would personally like to compete it on the RTJ courses. if I’m driving in and making a trip of it, I’m fine with spending a little more to see and play courses that have been on my list of wants for a while. Plus, I think when it comes to “bang for your buck” RTJ courses are recognized as a good deal. If we choose the Oxmoor Valley courses, they cost about $65 the website says. I’d probably come early and get the short course and Ross Bridge in as well.

Figured I’d start making decisions unless there are other dates/ places yall have in mind. If we get enough people generally committed I’m going to put in the work to reserve the tee-times and plan itinerary with venues for “dinner” hangouts for after rounds.

fr_bogeygolf · July 31, 2021, 3:19pm

Btw… March 17th is the Feast of St. Patrick!
