HELLO FRIENDS
Earlier this fall, I started thinking about the beauty of the CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE* component of the Ope. And it got me thinking about how things went at ope 2.
I played some fourball with @OffTheDole @Forty and @Nickygifts (Gifts back still might be sore from carrying me around the links that entire afternoon)
I also played Scotch foursomes with my dude @RunItOut @Kbergen28 and @camgriff2
And I thought to myself damn team golf is fun. I bet there are a few others that would agree.
I spoke a bit further with @mikedabomb and @midwestgolfbum proposed an idea.
For anyone who isn’t playing in the regional, I wanted to offer another path to a friendly team event.
THE OPE CUP For a Cause
For anyone interested in playing some team golf, I am going to organize a team game that will shape up as follows
Friday Morning : Fourball on Lawsonia Links. (everyone gets to play their own ball)
Friday Afternoon : Singles matches on The Woodlands
Saturday Morning : Scotch Foursomes on the Woodlands (get some swings in have a little fun)
This leaves Saturday afternoon on the Links open for people to play their own ball
There will be some handicapping involved, I have time to figure out how that will work exactly.
To participate there is an ENTRY FEE OF A $20 DONATION to The Joseph Sanfilippo, MD, MBA, In Training-Surgical Research Fund.

I have included a sign up sheet below. In order for this to work properly we will need 4 people minimum and can work in multiples of 4 from there (4-8-12-16… Etc.)
I will work with Evan and Mike with regard setting teams and pairings for tee times.
Once you have signed up, either send me a DM or post in the thread your proof of donation.
(Example below)
Did I mention that there is trophy?
Now you may be asking, “Batty, is that a chicken?”
Yes, it is.
”can it also be used as a cocktail shaker?”
Yes, yes it can.
I don’t think there is a more perfect trophy for the ope cup than this.
I think that’s everything… if anyone has any questions, please feel free to send me a DM or post in the thread.
Cheers
