I like the premise but given the range of handicaps I am not sure it would be the best way see who bought the best club. I would go simpler: everyone gets like $250 to build a set anyway they would like. Do you try and find a whole set off Craig’s List, do you splurge on a driver and then not buy a 5 or 8 iron? Lots of ways to take it and I would think the thrift shops in a place like Jacksonville would have a lot more options than in some cold weather cities.

How about we flip it? Each person has $250 to build a complete set for someone else in the NLU crew? Because seeing the person’s reaction is what creates the humor. I know if someone gave me this to use, I would laugh my ass off.

You cant go wrong with any kind of Caseys pizza. But the taco pizza is the best.

This series gets better and better.
“Soly is playing with JT, and you know, we’re doin what we’re doin”. I love it.
The passionate plea of Neil “Catch a piece” with the opening drive from @Randy is something we can all relate to. Just superb.

This is the most wonderful analogy I’ve ever heard in my life.

My only complaint for this episode was that we didn’t get a return of C-Suite Soly or Tron cackling and counting cash as Randy was losing balls and making doubles on the front nine of the money round. Otherwise amazing job.

This series is comedy gold. Enjoying it even more than Tourist Sauce!

Guys, I want to go on record here and say that in all my Midwestern life, I can definitively say I’ve never been to a Casey’s General Store that was more of a DISGRACE than the one we found that morning in Des Moines. No Pizza (of any kind!). No hot breakfast. I was humiliated in front of @Randy and @MerchCzar and won’t soon forget it.
An absolute unmitigated disaster. It pained me to even show it.
Thank you for watching.

@djpie thank you for clarifying. This explains a lot to someone who grew up in a small, midwestern town where Caseys was considered a restaurant/gas station. Shout out to Chillicothe, IL.

Two things.
- I’ve lived in Iowa my whole life, Casey’s pizza is trash.
- Great series, glad Iowa was the first stop. Golf isn’t a country club game here, it’s in small town 9 hole courses where everyone plays.

Chillicothe! I went to Bradley. Think my first job interview after college was with the Chillicothe Times Bulletin.

Yeah, I know the Bradley area well, even though I went to U of I. Small world.
Regarding the esteemed Times Bulletin- let’s just say I think you made the proper career choices. I wonder if it’s still in operation.

This should be its own thread. We need to give Tron plenty of space to document his years of therapy to deal with his distant fourth place.

Great format and content, and also love the fact that the episodes are a little longer. It’s good to have some videos in the 3-5 minute range like the pro-am recaps, 8-10 like tourist sauce, and 15-20 like we have here for strapped. I know the longer ones take more effort to produce, but they also help tell the story in greater depth and we get lots more awesome b-roll and outtakes, which give the series extra pop. Great job.

Rough crowd here on the refuge. The Franchise can’t even garner a mention. And the people are down on Tron, which is understandable. I sacrificed myself so that others may thrive. #contentmartyrdom
