This is why I attach myself to the Illinois contingent. @JBors is many things; a great organizer is likely his greatest attribute.

Think I’m in.

Ryder Cup is the following month so should be good, right?

My hope is that this becomes a yearly thing and the “Midwest ‘Ope’-in” sticks around. So basically:

Yep. In. Didn’t read it. I’m just in. Book it. We’ll figure it out later.

I said I was flying on the sheet, but this is a road trip all day long.

I can’t believe @aannddyy00 is a part of this. These kinds of exclusive events—limiting full participation to flyover state residents only—are exactly the kind of thing that’s wrong with the Refuge under the @Double_Bogey_Dave administration. @aannddyy00 has become a swamp denizen.

You’re more than welcome to come, there’s no actual limit on participation to residents of the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes/flyover country.

The match play championship will be Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, and Nebraska. Nevada is not invited to that portion.

Actually, the event is open to all. Young Snell has already signed up so don’t give me this “flyover states only” bullshit.

“Full participation.”

In the field of Refuge golf, “separate but equal” has no place.

Like I said above, we (the Wisconsin contingent) are happy to adopt others, should they need to find a home, but you are certainly in good hands with @JBors and the Illinois guis.

Yessir! I had to make sure this wasn’t during the State Fair but we are all good. Don’t @ me, my family loves the Fair.

Scheduling was done around a fair amount of stuff, this, I will admit, was never one of those things mentioned.

@naters is another Iowa guy who would probably want to get involved!

Also, this whole “waiting-for-a-mod-to-approve-a-new-topic” is complete bullshit. How did it come to this???

I should also mention that we’ll be doing the Friday night fish fry at Lawsonia! We have a huge section of the dining room reserved for us but, should COVID continue to run rampant, we’ll be pivoting to an outdoor tent.
