I figured I would play a round on Friday to knock off some dust. Let’s just say I ended up with a 52° wedge stuck in a tree.

I had to use a rake to toss up there to get it out. Almost got the rake stuck and then my 52° hit rocks when it came down. I probably deserved it

Seeing all these invites/sponsor exemptions in the player guide means I guess I need to up my ass kissing ratios for 2024. I’d like to play in one of these before my shoulder and/or back eventually disintegrate.

Anyone else getting in on Wednesday night? Looking for a ride from the airport to Frisco. If not ill just uber. Flight gets in at 9:15 pm local.

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen, In honor of the upcoming Nest Invitational Tournament. ThatDuffGuyPat presents:

WHAT EACH NIT PARTICIPANTS WALK UP SONG SAYS ABOUT THEM AND/OR WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT THEIR UPCOMING NIT EXPERIENCE

3PuttKing (One - Metallica): A Slow burn that Crescendos in the third act. Expecting a big round Saturday morning.

alightpainter (Sabotage - Beastie Boys): Won’t go anywhere without his golf bag on his shoulder all weekend but won’t explain why

AmandatoryGolfFriday (Ready for It - TSwift): Self-explanatory, she’s ready to compete and bring the fire

Asimpson3 (Pure Water - Migos): Has a swing that’s considered too pure, overrunning fairways and greens, even into some water.

Awalt12 (In Hell I’ll be in Good Company - The Dead South): A heat wave prediction by Awalt, assuming he thinks the rest of us are good company in the hell-ish temperatures. And for some reason during conversation he has a group of gentlemen snapping to the cadence of his speech.

Ben (Gin & Juice - Snoop Dogg): Will be late to the tee on Friday morning after a debaucherous evening at the reception.

bhooveme (I’m Good (Blue) - David Guetta): Is ready for the best night weekend of his life, might paint himself blue for the occasion.

Big_RanDeer (Back in Time - Huey Lewis and the News): Walking into the reception with the jacket on, moving and grooving like Peter Parker in Spider-Man 3.

BK (Taylors version)(Dancing with our hands tied - Taylor Swift): BK lets the weekend take him to a new place and allows Frisco to push the rhythm through his body.

BMarsh (One Big Holiday - My Morning Jacket): Has it out for the Lowcal and Norcal roosts, watch your head ladies and gentlemen

bmb430 (Money - Cardi B): Gonna pay for everybody’s drinks once they run out of tickets, only because I see a Hole-in-one coming for our boy bmb.

BogieBoy (Under African Skies - Paul Simon): Plays peacekeeper whenever tempers get hot, reminding us all to take in our surroundings.

Bopper (You Can’t Kill My Rock And Roll - Hardcore Superstar): Impossible to shake, plays up to the level of his opponents.

BunkiePerkins (Ha - Juvenile): Ultimate trash talker, will find things that you don’t even know you don’t like about yourself to get you unsettled.

bw72 (Fake Empire - The National): Wants everyone to take a step back and take it one golf swing a time, a calming presence in a tournament of chaos.

CarlyRaeJepsenFan (Run Away With Me - CRJ): Do I even have to explain?

catshannon (Lose Yourself - Eminem): Won’t let the nerves get the best of him, just hope he avoids the spaghetti at the reception.

ChickPhilA (You First - Paramore): Gonna try to leave everyone else in the dust, show everyone that they’re the worst (in the flight)

ChuckStunnings (Cochise - Audioslave): Might not be awake the first couple holes, but he’ll snap to life with back to back birdies mid-round.

Cody (Sleeping on the Blacktop - Colter Wall): I believe instead of his hotel room, we’ll find the Sarge in a tent right next to the first tee.

Conner1212 (Shake it Off - TSwizzle): Don’t worry if he has a slow start, may be comeback season for Conner.

Dags98 (Run Around Sue - Dion): Going to make an ill-advised equipment change before the NIT, only to see that club in another player’s bag performing how he remembers it.

Diabolical (Runnin’ Wild - Airbourne): Infectious energy, but if you’re not with him, you’re against him.

djpie (Darkness on the Edge of Town - Springsteen): Understands that everyone takes different paths to get to the same spot, and sometimes those paths take you to some interesting places.

drewp (Jose & Mark - The Lonely Island): Are PEDs allowed in the NIT?

Ghost_of_Ty_Webb (For Whom the Bell Tolls): The bell already tolled for Mr. Webb, he’s hoping all his competitors hear the ringing.

HashtagChad (Hypnotize - B.I.G): Good or bad, Chad’s golf game is gonna have all eyes on him in case he lands a trick shot or two.

HHSBallCoach (Cocaine Country Dancing - Paul Cauthen): I’m not sure this coach knows it’s a golf trip not a ski trip.

HoselRocketeer (Open the Gate - Zach Bryan): Ready to face all challenges. Lots of laughing and crying.

hworth14 (The Champ is Here - Jadakiss): Confident right from the start, lets hope he has the skill to back it up and crown a new champion.

JAD (No Diggity - Blackstreet): One of the smoothest tempos in the tournament, you could set a metronome to his swing

jefe (Narco - Blasterjaxx): I’m not sure a Mets walk out song would give me the most confidence down the stretch.

Jim_Sand (Sixpack - JEFF the Brotherhood):

JoeyKnish (This is why I’m hot - MIMS): Going to steal towels from the hotel room to dry all the sweat on Fields Ranch.

Joliverglass (2001 - Phish): “It’s all one golf hole man”

jrobo4 (It’s a Fight - Three6Mafia): No love lost with this competitor, someone is gonna bleed this weekend.

JShades33 (Kashmir - Led Zeppelin): Will refuse to tee off until the song ends, and if anyone says anything he will demand the song be replayed from the beginning.

jtshelley42 (Roc Boys - Jay Z): An early vote of confidence, has his speech prepared already, nobody ever won anything with a bad attitude.

KVV (Lookout Mountain - Drive By Truckers): 200,000 words written means KVV needs some energy to push him through the end of the season, this song keeps his heart at a steady 115 bpm the whole weekend.

KY169XD (Firewoman - The Cult): Will be convincing the rest of the field to become Wycombe supporters after a spirited debate over the merits of the premier league

lazyjk (Ain’t going down till the sun comes up - Garth Brooks): Pray for his foursomes, the mouth will be running non stop. Not necessarily trash talk, just talk.

leftysauce (Hit List - That Mexican OT): All game, no talk, he’s a man on a mission

LukeBoatright (Hey Driver - Zach Bryan): Unsure if he’s talking about a vehicle or a golf club, either way he might not even make it to Frisco if he can’t find either.

MackReiter (Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival): 13 clubs in the bag, 1 banjo exclusively for use on the Dance Floor

MattyB (Guess Who’s Back - Rakim): He’s out for vengeance, a disappointing 2022 means MattyB is trying to ensure his rap golf god status is cemented.

MerchCzar (Tom Sawyer - Rush): Just some crunchy golf for the Czar this weekend, with some moments of calm in between the rock n roll drives.

MiguelSanchez (Under Pressure - Queen): A big weekend ahead means big pressure for Miguel.

MrChickPhilA (The Trooper - Iron Maiden): Ready to charge in, the power of sick riffs and funky bass fueling him.

Mkg (Call to Arms - Sturgill Simpson): Mkg is all gas, no brakes as he plunges into the NIT where his putting can make a big difference for him.

Mr.Shneebly (Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin): Will let out a scream every single time his driver goes long and straight

NightTrainLane (L to the OG ft Kendall Roy - Nicholas Beitell): Like a rich white boy rapping, this won’t end well for Lane

OTPLefty (The Ocean- Led Zeppelin): What does an Indiana native know about the ocean?

PantherHawk (Push it - Salt N Pepa): Not sure how one of the first qualifiers of the year will do in Frisco, but surely

philmundo (Driving South - The Stone Roses): Will do great on holes facing south, will hit every imaginable object on holes facing the other cardinal directions.

phrodo (The Spins - Mac Miller): Knows he’s the shit and ensures that everyone else is informed.

PoloG (I’m Bad - LL Cool J): Refuses to be outdone in any aspect this weekend. Will be working hard on the course and playing hard at the dinners.

rabsie (Stress - Justice): Aiming to throw his opponents off at any moment, I’d hate to know what’s going on in his head.

Racole212 (Still Fly - Big Tymers): Timeless, dark horse candidate for best dressed if his wardrobe is based on this song.

Randy (Wetsuit - The Vaccines): “Go easy on me” is an attitude from Randy that is trying to get his opponents to underestimate the big guy. I know nobody is going to count out Mr Big as he tries to prove his skills are worthy of running the show.

RCH96 (Orion - Metallica): Will spend too long stargazing on the dance floor and miss dinner.

reitz37 (Programs - Mac Miller): Did he really pick a song with a title directly related to his job? Maybe.

RobertHunter (Moonage Daydream - David Bowie): In an effort to win best dressed, he shows up with dyed hair and a face tattoo, but loses out to someone in a white tank top and jeans.

RolandOfGilead (2001: A Space Odyssey Opening theme): All business from the jump, no times for jokes and will personally crush your hopes with his 56 degree wedge.

romo (Live Wire - AC/DC): Will be downing Stone Creek Coffee all weekend long, won’t sleep.

Samton128 (The Pokemon Theme): Believes he can win it all, but needs to try every year for the next 22 years until he finally wins.

SK777 (When the Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin): Turns on the sprinklers mid round and argues you have to play the ball as it lies

SMariners15 (Cruel Summer - Tswift): Wasn’t so cruel for our Alt-shot winner at Erin Hills, we’ll see if he can turn it into a cruel fall for his competition.

Soly (Narco - Blasterjaxx): Again, the Mets walk up song is a strange choice, but maybe Soly can overpower it with the new dad strength.

stevelknievel (It Doesn’t Matter - Wyclef Jean): Always asks rhetorical question and rebuts with The Rock’s signature phrase.

sundaybag (Wide Open Spaces - The Chicks): Wishing for Wide fairways as the driver is gonna be spraying all over the place.

Sweet_Cupn_Cake (“The Grid” from Tron Legacy starting at 46 seconds): Going to try to change his starting hole from 1 to hole 6

temporaryGreens (Heart of a Champion - Nelly): After running the show at Erin Hills, she gets to really shine and fight for that podium at Fields Ranch.

tfatskins (Damn it Feels good to be a Gangster - The Geto Boys): Will be wearing sunglasses in a leather jacket at all times. Inside for dinner, in the shower, and while sleeping.

ThatDuffGuyPat (Musician - Porter Robinson): Shows some self doubt over the weekend, but is always trying to find the light at the end of the struggle tunnel, leading to a great bounceback during round 2.

therealmarkymark (Loud - Mac Miller): Will keep his roommate up all night talking about drugs when the hardest thing he’s done is take 3 ibuprofen instead of 2.

Tibbs (That Part - Schoolboy Q): If there’s a chance for him to gamble, expect him to take it no matter the odds.

TonyPres (Remember the Name - Fort Minor): Will be remembered for either a career-low round or a career high round, hoping for the former.

Tron (How Will I Know - Whitney Houston): Tron’s planning on being the DJ each night, and nothing but bangers will be served up.

tuck_mulligan (Point Breeze - Sheer Mag): Long drives with less than ideal recovery shots with how crunched up this track gets.

Waffles (Psycho - Taylor Acorn): Shouldn’t be trusted with sharp objects, or blunt objects, or projectiles…

Yfnoworries (Don’t Worry, Be Happy - Bobby McFerrin): Just happy to be here, might not say a word but will always have a smile on his face.

woody (Thank God I’m a Country Boy - John Denver): The wide open pastures of Fields Ranch are ready for Woody to run wild and free.
