Waveland Breakfast Ball Club: 2025 (Chicago, IL)

Weather is looking prime for some low scores. Some light wind coming from the Northwest should help out the par 5s.

@Ballgame is only 2 holes off the birdie challenge. Gotta birdie 3 and 7

Myself, @JAD and @PinkPantser are 3 holes away. Maybe one of us gets hot and wins the whole damn thing.

No full update as last week was RTW, but here’s where we stand going into the final week.

For the top 4: @TeddyPargame 's absence looms large, with @PinkPantser set to take the 4th spot as @tmstrods won’t be playing this week. He figures to be our 5 seed.

For the top 8: That change would move @TrajMahal into sixth at +6 (ready to drop a -3) and myself in 7th at +5 (ready to drop a -4). Eighth would be @Ballgame at +4 (ready to drop a -3).

Next in line and waiting in the wings, potentially pushing into the playoffs with a good week:
9th @FlapjackNickelsack at +3, ready to drop a -2
10th @TheAbeFroman at +0, ready to drop a -4
11th @ChiFFI at +0, ready to drop a -3
12th @rmbartell at -3, ready to drop a -2
13th @Wheel…who would need to shoot about a gross 27 this week.

Good question… who’s ever has the highest 11th best quota score

While I need all the points I can get, I’m gonna have to rat myself out. I’m actually -4 not -3.

The messed up score is 7/21.

I was -2 that day and that’s reflected in the roster sheet but BBK Sabermetrics have me at -1. Probably input it wrong when I submitted the form but here is how that day shook out:

Quota: 11 (9 scored for -2)
7 bogeys (7pts)
1 par (2pts)
1 double

Get your quota scores in so we can set the playoffs this week to get ahead of any logistic/scheduling of matches

Unless Bill or Paul went super low I think my +6 (combined with dropping a -3) vaulted me into the top 4.

Bill got hot…

Hot, but not that hot.

Back-to-back birdies on 8 and 9 catapulted me from mediocrity to a +1. Dropping a -4 helps, but I think Ted still passes me.

alright all qualifying scores are in… some big movement today

Congrats to @JAD for putting on a clinic week in and week out. Averaging 4.3 points per week for his top ten scores is a heck a a run. He also tied @FlapjackNickelsack for most regular season rounds played at 19.

Below is a snapshot of how the seeding is set for the playoffs next week. Please work with your match player to play either Thursday or another time before the next week.

@JAD and @Ballgame tied for best quota of the year with 8 points above their respective quotas.

@PinkPantser holds the title of lowest quota of the year with -8 points below his quota.

@Ballgame and @PinkPantser also had the largest differential between their high score and low score for the year at 14 points.

Shoutout to @rmbartell for the only one who slept through his alarm this year. We only had 1 no show the entire 20 weeks.

On average everyones best round was around 5.4 and our worst round was -5.8. This is why I love the quota game so much is because its a very humbling game, but it can be a lot of fun when you are hot.

I’ll let @BabblingBrooksKoepka finish off the regular season stats with his mega-excel.

I’d just like to say thank you all for participating this year its been an honor being the commish and I look forward to next year!

@tmstrods looking forward to our matchup! Unfortunately I think I’m going to have to travel for work W-F of next week. I know you’re technically a sub too so this is getting complicated.

Am I making this up or did @Ballgame book something for the 30th? Maybe we could jump in on that? I could make it work. If @JAD could make it too, we can both knock out our matches. Just throwing out ideas, otherwise we may need to get a little creative!

Yeah, I grabbed 2 times first out for Tuesday the 30th. @JAD does that work for you? I’m out of town for two weeks starting the 31st.

Yep I can do that
