Gents and Frat-
We are booked with house deposit paid- time to get serious about flights and handicapping Frat. Word on the street is Richard is playing two rounds a week (Frat is not), still no match for PK’s long ball, but kid thinks he can defend. Would be a first and if he can do it with a 6 handicap and keeping Frat locked away, but I’ll be the first to come in with a hard chest bump. Hoping we can break in some new Cuppers and bring back the lost with Whitey and Espino (someone forward email). Great hustle by Begonia last year- maybe we can get him to actually play or just let him ride with Richard to ensure Frat plays in the tourney. Like to have 12 playing in tourney and we all know house can live much more, so lets turn it up a notch. However, all additions are welcome but must be ASS TD approved for lounge entry- might be charging cover at door.
Unfortunately, Chop is a maybe- saying due to the transition and new, or lack of, job, but we all know it’s because he was incredibly pissed that Frat took him down last year due to an inflated handicap and much better golfing attire. We may not see Clarke at all, but hoping he is willing to put down the hockey sticks for a couple of days, especially as last year was a first with no back issues. Impressively, nothing but positivity from Rivs- think more excited about firing up the Karaoke machine than hitting the links. Speaking of lounge time, your ASS TD is ready to spin some new tunes and get the party started- both he and I are thinking going old school on this one, ensuring a hangover round-filled theme. Chaser is on board and is planning four rounds decked out in Ohio State gear, going to suck when Nebraska ruins the dream- okay will probably take that one, but his hate for Michigan and if that works out, Alabama, will be at an all-time high. Good news is he can hold his head high having tied the Steelers- probably twice seeing how they are playing. Our medical team of PK and Ant already have Motrin and Ginger Beer ready for travel- I am actually liking Ant to take it again, with Richard’s handicap now in single digits has a good chance- just watch out for Frat, Ant- he loves to play the head games. Smooth and silky PK is tired of allowing others to win and possibly without Clarke bringing him down all four rounds- could be an easy favorite to get Cup glory. Kinger is ready and think he might stash the family in the room next to the theater as the Family vaca at Disney is probably happening again. No matter what drives us or how we all play, the goal with be the same- ensure Richard does not defend the title.
Any and all are welcome to travel down with myself and G from Pensacola. Hoping Chaser is coming into Pcola and may have Mudro for the drive also. We should have plenty of room as do not plan to bring the Grill/Smoker- pain in the ass. Speaking of meals, your ASS TD and I want to lessen the emphasis on meal preparation, keeping it simple for more time in the pool, arcade, Karaoke machine, and poker table. We can hash it out and I am still willing to bring supplies- of course beverages, but like to ease kitchen time.
Travel dates are Monday 11 FEB and Saturday 16 FEB. Staying in same house. I have booked four courses, but still trying to work other options in. Current lineup has us tearing up Bella Collina and the New Course at Grand Cypress again with the addition of Crooked Cat and Panther Lake at Orange County National to ease cost a bit. I also have Mystic Dunes booked and may switch out a day at Orange County for it since only five minutes from house. However, it is overcoming a history of being poorly managed- reviews and word is fun course and up and coming that should be in great shape in February. I also am working the Palmer and Watson courses at Reunion- where we are staying. However, those will probably have a much higher price tag compared to Crooked Cat, Panther, and Mystic Dunes.
Find your sticks and change the spikes, cause O’Town Take 2 is on!
ASS TD- please begin the official countdown clock.
