Great. Thanks. Really looking forward to it.
Hello All!
I am so happy to finally announce some info for this event. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at Aiken Golf Club and sharing this beautiful piece of land with you all.
I have been able to secure the golf course for the entire day.
DATE: 10/03/2020
COST: $100 PER PLAYER (Will include breakfast (biscuits), golf all day, lunch (working out meal with the course) ,
Tentative Start time 9:00AM Shot gun start
Thanks to the NLU guis at our current level of 60 players we will have 5 NIT spots available to those who qualify. We will be using the quota game for qualifying.
How I currently see this happening is a shot gun start in the morning and then everyone can break off and play whatever matches/grudges/formats they would like the rest of the day.
Since we are able to have the course for the whole day I am committed to paying a fee to the club. To secure your spot I will need your payment in advance. If for some reason you are not able to make the event and someone takes your place your monies will be refunded.
In refuge fashion any and all monies raised above cost will be donated to a local Aiken Charity. I am researching for a deserving charity currently. If you are a local gui and have suggestions please feel free to reach out to me.

Again I am very much looking forward to seeing yāall on October 3rd!
Big thanks to @LukeBoatright for putting this together. A lot of work goes into these events.
Given that Aiken is kind of a horse town, we probably need to have a Horse Race or Derby that afternoon, right?
Absolutely
9 off the cutlineā¦hereās hoping!
Weāll have to see if there is a polo match !
Guis, I am super excited to be having something like this happening in my hometown. Another massive thanks to @LukeBoatright for putting this all together. If thereās anything locally I can help with, donāt hesitate to ask. Iāll have my finger on the pulse of whatever regulations and ordinances weāre under, so I can give whatever updates are needed for everyone to plan ahead.
Sounds good thanks. I know day Of there will be plenty to do.
iāll be in town this weekend but not participating at AGC (playing golf with my pops) If thereās a night activity, iāll try to attend.
Local charity for consideration:
Kisner Foundation is PGA Kevinās charity that then distributes funding to child services throughout the CSRA.
Wow, I am a long time NLU listener but just joined the Refuge. What a mistake. I live in Augusta and just now saw this event. Onto the Alternates List I go.
@jfreemon regrets the error.
Welcome.
Im in Augusta also and planning on playing Aiken on thursday if you have any interest.
Thanks for the offer but I have to work that day. We should def get together though.

Havenāt seen yall update the spread sheet on availability for the 10/3 date so I wanted to reach out.
Thanks Guis!
Thanks for the nudge, Luke. I canāt commit to making the trip right now. Go ahead and fill my slot with an alternate, and if something changes last-minute, Iāll try and weasel my way back in.
Do you think youāll have a better chance at a firm answer first of September? I am fine holding your spot for a bit but was just generally trying to firm up those who I hadnāt heard from inclinations.
Iād love to say āyesā, but given the uncertainty around schools/daycare/etc here in KC, Iād rather take a pass right now so that someone else can start the planning process.
10-4. Thanks. Canāt wait for all this shit to be over.
That makes about 300 million of us
