Just needed to be sure I voted for somebody else so it wasn’t me.

I hope both teams have fun.
Walk. Wayward ball striking creates peaceful wayward walks through nature.
I would probably hit a 8 iron and then a 50* to have a look at the net eagle.
Wake up without a hangover from the Saturday night High Lifes. Grab a cup of coffee and my morning Metamucil, head to the range to hit a couple buckets. Get the lawn mowed, double-cut diagonal of course. Make a nice turkey club for lunch, and then head over to the ball diamond across the street to throw some BP with the kids. Have 2-3 cold High Lifes on the patio while the wife gets ready and we head out to Mars Resort on Lake Como. Have 2-3 Old Fashioneds while waiting for a table and cruise the lake on the pontoon. Enjoy some King Prime Rib for dinner and grab a Grasshopper to-go. Go to bed around 9pm.

Based on your Sunday, I want to be you when I grow up.

Doesn’t everybody here already know everything about me?
Highly variable. I play golf because I enjoy the walk (foreshadowing), the time outdoors, and the challenge. I have high expectations for myself but don’t go out of my way to get a game going. I’ll say 4-6 under normal circumstances. Will almost always agree to play for a few bucks just to keep things lively.
Caveats:
- Team Match Play a la Red vs Blue Cup: 10/10. My overall record in this event is pretty god-awful but I want to win every single point. Maybe I should relax more and I’ll play better?
- Are we beefing for rea? Have you, in a totally hypothetical example, insulted my family and then committed multiple drive-bys across several threads and then answered my call for a duel with an unserious big money match? Because, again, hypothetically, we’re at 11/10 there. Highly variable.
I carry as much as I can. If it’s super hot or the course is a particularly bad walk (looking at you, Landmand), or carts are baked into the event cost (looking at you, Ope-in), I’ll ride. But for reasons others have already mentioned, I find that my mental process is better when I have more time to think in between shots. I also like to talk and walking allows me to do that between shots vs being Tee Box Storytime Guy which is a bad habit. Also I could stand to lose a few pounds.
Depends on the layout of the hole - if, like 18 at TPC Sod Farm, there is all kinds of trouble short, I’m ripping 3W to about 15 yards over the green. Rarely will I choose to lay back in any situation because I generally have more balls than sense when it comes to golf - big fan of FAFO. If I have space to run one in, like 10 at Old Barnwell after blowing one so far right that I was lucky to still be in the fairway, I’m hitting the Gatorz 1 iron with about a 20-foot apex and rolling her right up there.
The Perfect Sunday
- Wake up around 6:30
- My kids have slept over at their grandparents so my wife is spared a morning of insanity
- Make the perfect cup of pourover (has not yet, probably never will happen)
- Dress and head to the golf course for an 8:30 tee time with the boys
- 65°F and sunny, get around in 3:30
- Have a couple cold ones and a sandwich at the course
- Pick up the kids from grandma and grandpas, bring them home
- Mrs. Nanski has had a relaxing morning to herself
- Get home a little after 1 PM, take shower
- Take the pizza dough that’s been cold-fermenting out of the fridge, get if floured and covered to warm up
- Take a walk with the kids and Mrs. Nanski to the park, play for a while, maybe bring a couple more cold ones for mom and dad
- Get home and send the kids to the back yard while I get pizza going
- Eat dinner together, get the kids to bed
- Flip on SNF to find a big 2nd quarter Vikings lead over the Packers in Lambeau (sorry, not sorry)
- Make Mrs. Nanski and myself a cocktail
- Vikings win
- Mrs. Nanski has had a good day/isn’t sick of my bullshit >> marital relations
- Sleep soundly into Victory Monday

Yes, but I am far too hungover to have to answer @Battisstatus questions.
Good here
Lost me here
Recovered here. Remember that aforementioned hangover?
Why do you want to have so much pain watching the second half meltdown for your team?

I will grant permission to use my silhouette to go along with this phrase.
@ChrisP1 had one of the best one-liners I heard all weekend. I was playing some of the worst golf I’ve played, felt embarrassed looking like an idiot to new people, just losing balls all over the place. I tell Chris to take the cart and I’ll meet him at the green. Grab my beer and an iron, just trouncing through the shit hoping to find my ball somewhere around 16 green to save face.
Of course I don’t find anything and get back to the cart and he goes, “You look like the most beat up and dejected person I’ve seen on a golf course.”
Immediately made me laugh and flipped my mood.

He said “perfect”. I saw nothing about being realistic.

The Nanski Scouting Report
It is important to point out in the front side of this report that I have known Mr. Nanski for a very very long time. So, captains @OffTheDole @tigergolftraveler and Assistant Captains @DombrowBryan and @ReallyFatPat please take this into consideration when reviewing my notes. (To clarify, He is one of my best friends)
Pro golfer comparisons: Lord Tyrrell Hatton
Mr. Nanski hits the ball fucking hard. And when he is dialed in, his game is all around dangerous. The area of his game where he has the most confidence is with the flat stick and it’s rightfully so. He makes a lot of putts. I would also like to call attention his 3wood that is fucking dangerous. I have dubbed it the lightsaber; its a WEAPON and when he uses it he is capable of bad boy shit.
He is a subscriber to the Life of The Blade. And also games a half set.
This pro player comp also means he can run a little hot under the collar from time to time. When he and I are playing partners I am all about trying to keep the temper at bay so that the champion in him can rise to the occasion. Keep the vibes positive, keep the pace of play moving, and please have moon man or another good crafty beer cold and in stock for my gui.
Notable career highlights:
Qualifying for an NIT spot at the inaugural NSS at Keller.
Captaining team blue to a victory at RvB II.
Winning the 2023 NSU simulator alt shot event.
Being my partner beating @TBuhr33 and @TheRightSide in a scotch foursomes match.
Organizing MULTIPLE NSU roost events and serving as the captain of NSU.
Overall, whichever team has Mr. Nanski playing for them, they will have a player that is going to go out there and compete and give his all for his team. That includes golf and having a good time.
Please let me know if you need other areas covered.

I was proud to hit one of my favorite approach shots ever on 18. @bignanski still gives me shit for it.

My favorite part was @bignanski buying drinks during the morning round telling us not to worry about it because it was Duffers money.
