Waveland Breakfast Ball Club: 2025 (Chicago, IL)

if you go to the 2022 Roster page you’ll find a list of the guis who are signed up to sub. Basically the way it works though is that if a gui cannot make it on a certain week he will fill out the 2022 sub sheet ahead of time, where a sub would then take that spot (refer to the 2021 sub sheet as an example). As it gets closer members will fill out the 2022 sub sheet showing the weeks they cannot make it and need replacements. If it’s last minute or week of the member would post on here and/or the chicagoland thread to try and find a sub as well. At the end of the day it’s up to the member who cannot make it to replace his spot on the tee sheet.

How it worked last year at the course was actually awesome. Basically, the starter just made sure there was 12 of us who went off and let us deal with who was actually playing week in and week out. Since the members pay ahead of time for the tee times, a sub would just venmo the member they are replacing that week.

May need to request a special medical exemption if recovery times are slower than predicted!

Sorry to hear about your ankle, but welcome to the broken ankle gang! We meet on Wednesday nights in Lincoln Park to talk about how much better we would be at stuff if it wasn’t for our mangled ankles holding us back…. Your right leg is gonna look like a tooth pick after 6 weeks of no weight

Thanks. I’ll bring the bourbon. It’s my left, which I imagine will be even worse for twisting around it with a golf swing. May need to change up my power draw to a stack-and-tilt butter cut.

Or we have another lefty experiment coming. Has anyone broken par at Syd alternating sides?

Very interesting summary of my charitable donations for the year…didn’t know I’d be getting a tax receipt for the three times I paid to park at Breakfast Ball before realizing it was a total waste.

I assumed all payments would go to an untraceable racket.

i’m envisioning a 2022 breakfast ball merch piece that is sort of a 70’s inspired graphic logo (font sort of att pro am logo adjacent):

Breakfast Ball at Waveland

then it’s a landscape art of a golf hole, waves of lake michigan depicted as bacon, and sun rising.

I love this but humbly suggest “Waveland Breakfast Club” as the type.

Edit: and it’s a pocket tee so it fits in with our unspoken t-shirt movement of last year.

I got a message from @Double_Bogey_Dave that Breakfast Ball will not be getting NIT spots. Sorry, guys.

That just means that the Roost spot means even more!

It’s fine, our weather for NIT weekend was better than Jax Beach was last year, anyway.

In honor of Chicago politics we could hold one from the Mudness for the “Top Breakfast Club Member who also arrives at Mudness with a good attitude”

Many are saying the NIT is the original SGL for the Waveland Breakfast Ball.

I’d like to take this opportunity to officially pledge my fealty to the Waveland Breakfast Club.

I’m waiting to see where we land on NFT’s and what NFT’s are.

For sure. The weekend the NLU guys have planned in KC between Swope Park and a Brough Creek National street fest sounds like a blast!

I feel like in the vein of Chicago politics the Breakfast Ball winner goes to the NIT regardless and sits at the club entrance with Scabby the Rat and a sign reading “NLU Doesn’t Support the Little Guys”
