This is the best time of year; sitting on my ass hearing my heart struggle to pump blood as the fat constricts vital organs weighed down by the buckets of red meat, sugar, and booze pouring in my belly.
Christmas tree lights on, dog at side, kids busy playing new e-games and an entire day of football just for me! However, it’s the best time, cause most of all Santa blessed me with gloves, tees, and over priced balls to snap hook, slice and hell, even throw, into the desert during the only real reason to celebrate the New Year, the F’ng FYMA Cup!
Are you #hyped yet?
It’s time to get fired up!
It’s time to live large without guilt of leaving family or spending money.
Time for a well-deserved week where we live like Kings.
Big drinks, Big steaks, and Big drives because...
ITS YOUR F’NG FYMA CUP!
Now LETS GO!

The Logistics
The House is about 45 minutes from airport and PK will have a 15 pax van ready to go. Hopefully, you chuckleheads arrive close to each other. We plan to have at least one van run. If you haven’t made flights, plan for an arrival no later than 1pm (earlier is better). We expect an early check in (Thanks to TD's magic). If we can't check in early, Top Golf for the 1st game and a golf warm up. If your arrival is later, you may have to Uber.
The Duties:
Vis: - Tournament Director (TD). He was born for this and it now has consumed him entirely. Final authority on all rulings, movie choices, new handicap rules, and inter-tournament skirmishes.
Mudro - Assistant TD (ASS TD). Prior to approaching TD, all complaints, gripes, or whining will be approved first through Mudro. He will decide whether or not it deserves my attention, but plan on it going completely ignored. ASS TD is also the web site developer and collector of all arrival/departure times. A single van run this year (maybe)- so add extra funds in your phone for Uber. Apparel requests also go through ASS TD and if you ordered a shirt, drinkware, or banana hammock , he will have those waiting for you. He also establishes pairings for the week, so have cash ready.
G - Tourney Official- recheck Mudro handicaps and screw Fratt accordingly. Monday night you will have opportunity to bribe G-money, but all bribe amounts will be approved by me with a 20% TD cut. G will also validate and post scores/leader board nightly.
PK – Is our local FYMA host and newly appointed SuppO and Transpo Director. Once all assignments are handed out, Director shall send all supply lists, booze requests, and arrival/departure times to PK. Make sure you make it as hard as you can for him since he will be unable to get wrecked in flight and during layovers this year.
Further assignments will be issued once it is known who is coming.
The Menus
No cooking competition, but we will partner up with 3 cooking each night.
Team format: Check back for assignments. Teams will be responsible for submitting shopping lists, cooking and clean up on their assigned day. All proteins/dinners up for change and based on chefs' choices, so get your lists to PK. Also need easy breakfast list. If you cook better with someone else- check with ASS TD for approval.
Sunday night: Burgers - probably easier just to throw some burgers on grill. Everyone can help out.
Monday: TBD
Tuesday: TBD
Wednesday: TBD
Thursday: TBD
Friday: Pizza, like the last two years.
