I’m in. Time to bring honor (and a non-trademark infringing beaver trophy) to Space City

How are these matches going? Any updates?
There’s a rumor running around the Houston area that there’s a big tournament in town. Lots of big hitters and dudes showing up to play. They must’ve heard about the NASA pod meetup and matches this Sunday at Gus…

Nothing like a little Sunday match!
In shocking news, I didn’t lose all 3 of my matches! Pushed my match with @Stelske.
Also in less shocking news, @the_korn_ferry and @TheBoyFromBerwyn are moving on out of the NASA pod. From the way they contributed to the squad at Pine Dunes, I wouldn’t have expected anything less.
Overall, a fun morning at Gus with some absolutely amazing weather!
Best part of the day was grabbing a hot dog and Gatorade at the new snack bar only to see the other 3 scurrying back to the carts with what must’ve been half of the bar.

The Innerloopers (minus @anotherballromes (he didn’t show up out of respect for our impending duel and @anon3021505)) played at Memorial yesterday.
@ebitduh proved the handicap system works by tying all three matches with @johking.
@johking beat my ass on the front (even though I only lost it 1 down, it was never really close), but he left the door open just enough for me to win 1 up on the back and get the 18 to all square.
On a personal note, this was my first time playing with @johking and it was an honor (notwithstanding the cold beers he supplied). And as always, it was an absolute pleasure teeing it up with @ebitduh. We gotta get these dudes out to Pine Dunes to represent Space City.

@johking you around December 4-5? @desperateunder105 feel free to scout my game during our match.
Assume I’ll be there.

Had a great time at Memorial with @desperateunder105 and @ebitduh. Looking forward to teeing it up again soon.

@anotherballromes - I might be going out of town that weekend, but want to finalize my plans this week.

shoutout to @johking for being a trooper and not accepting two strokes off my handicap like @anotherballromes so happily did. That has to bode well for karma being on your side when you two tee off!

I want to be very transparent here and my handicap is now a 4.8 instead of a 5. Feel free to take as many strokes back as you guys want @ebitduh @desperateunder105 or the GHIN tells you that you are to tax me with. I look forward to playing with @johking and I will gladly hand him what the lords as USGA allow him to have. We all know Team Dallas are the ones who truly embrace padding their stats, which is not within our spirit of the game in the dirty south.
Haha just yanking your chain. I gave those to you fair and square - if anything the jokes on me for thinking the GHIN handicap calc was being too generous.
I’m sure most of y’all have seen this, but for those who haven’t, some fine members have created the South Texas Roost - Southern Texas Roost of Hospitality (STROHs). Below is a link to sign up:
I’m sure there will be events and tournaments in the near future and I believe some of these will earn you a spot in a NLU event.
I’m just daydreaming, but this could be a cool champion prize or something similar for the year when @the_korn_ferry runs through us all.

My game goes dormant in the winter. I don’t like my odds.
Could y’all put your points into the spread sheet? We gotta do some seeding pretty soon.
We are also missing @ChiefGardenfire’s matches in the Katy Freeway pod.
And the Dallas pod has some matches to play. @Darikashi @TigersWoods @tf1290 @mdavis
The Innerloopers finished out their matches yesterday with @johking putting the beat down on @anotherballromes. @ebitduh and I played a little money game and he balled out and put the beat down on me. Major props and I still need your Venmo, @ebitduh.
@johking is advancing from the Innerloopers, but @anotherballromes and I are tied and we tied our head-to-head match. So we’ll be playing a 9-hole grudge match sometime soon. Stay tuned.
