I love Nerd Tribalism
The amount of Greyson was… umm, high
Might have to look into a sponsorship for next year.
If we do rent out the entire course does the mean dress code goes out the window? Because I will be in jorts and a tshirt every round
This makes me relieved since I couldn’t find instructions on trash or recycling so I left it as neat as I could in the garage. I’m proud of you all for the sheer amount empty of high life bottles.
Jorts so short the pockets stick out?
This is awesome. Ha!
Oh no, another Ope Thank You post incoming…
I thought I knew what to expect this weekend. After weaseling my way into a friendship with @Battisstatus and @bignanski, I thought I had heard all the stories, and was mentally prepared for one for one of the best weekends of the year. Boy was I wrong (but in a good way).
From driving into Green Lake at 1am Thursday with Batty, after a 4 hour drive that felt like 30 minutes because of his company, I knew it was going to be one hell of a trip. Starting off with @DombrowBryan and Mr. Stone Creek @drewp, to the Cap/Ass Cap match (and the Amesing of @midwestgolfbum that we both were completely unaware was happening) with @mikedabomb and Nanski.
Saturday had the vibes of @tigergolftraveler, @andrewf, and @BuffaLouies cruising around the Woodlands, and finally the group of DoDs, vibe kings, and dodging lightning of @DrJ, @RunItOut, and @Aham13. And I would be reminisced to forget to mention all the happenings at the Goose Saturday night, from Lisa, to me explaining Blitzball and how I am easily influenced by the Youtube algorithm, to Nanski shouting through everyone (among too many other things).
Evan, you fucking killed it again. Your the reason why this event is the best, you set this shit up, deal with everyones shit, and the courses shit, and probably question why you do it. I sincerely hope that, one, you are not afraid to reach out when you need help, and two, that you personally have enough fun to want to do it all over again.
There are tons of people I should also thanks, @AlCzervik, @BadBrad, Batty, @ajvhandel, and probably more for spurring all of the charity donation. We raised a lot of money, and it’s because of you that this event isn’t just about doing hoodrat shit with our friends.
Shout out to @OffTheDole and Bryan for taking home the first cup, treat it well. Jimmy and @ReallyFatPat, we tried (I think).
The Ope Fucks
I think we could take some liberties with that, if I’m being honest and it’s a problem I look forward to figuring out when we get there.
Thank you so damned much. I’m not sure they expect much to be neat in there but thanks to your (and others) work, we got a glowing review.
Filling the tee sheet for 2 straight days on woodlands and links sounds like a challenge only the refuge can step up to
Stubbornly, as you know, I will ask.
Absolutely. Was questioning it on like Tuesday, but then I got to see all my friends and it reminded me why it was worth it.
I also apologize for the consecutive posts. 10 user tag limit had me all over the place
That explanation was super handy. I had no clue what I was looking at when I started watching that!
Next years Ope @kcurry11 will be yelling at people about flat earth and hollow moon
I’ll just do some quick hits that don’t involve thanking @midwestgolfbum because I have to deal with him the rest of the year and I need to keep him humbled.

How rare is it to have something in your life that after all the chatter for a year (years for some) it actually delivers? I can be glass half empty about a lot (occupational hazard), but the fact that Ope routinely delivers speaks volumes about everyone here.

Our roost region is such a delight. It’s so bittersweet to see the MN guys once a year because it’s an absolute riot, but then realize it’s likely another year before I can watch @bignanski rip the links up with a persimmon while keeping him sufficiently Moon Man-ed. I feel a deep sense of shame for how much I enjoy the Second City crew and for fucks sake they keep getting better the more of them I meet and spend time with (s/o @Setwilli and @ChiFFI). @BuffaLouies I can’t believe I didn’t meet you, which is the only true regret I have from the weekend.
-
I am starting to feel real feelings about Bill and Ted after those 2 days on the Links and I am very uncomfortable being this excited about golf architecture.
The Ope rules.
Dig the look my man but please can we get some proper footwear for ya
Even quicker hits -
Did you guys see @DombrowBryan is a Tebow guy now? Rough.
Does @ChiFFI have the inside track to owning the Goose Blind?
@OffTheDole’s place in the Philippines looks so sick.
I was sitting next to @PTM when he sent that picture to his wife and when I saw the response I was convinced he was going home that night.
I feel like the thongs bring it all together, but will open to suggestions.
