Last night, I went out and bought what I believe will be the final golf ball purchase for Saturday’s 6th annual 2-Club Invitational that some of you are attending.
While your normal golf outing charges $125 for a hot dog at the turn and a cheap can of beer, our outing costs whatever the course charges for 9-holes on a Saturday AND I bring the balls.
Now, they’re not the best balls. That’s the beauty of this golf outing. You get what you get.
You might be hitting a dirty, nasty Slazenger one minute. The next minute you might be hitting a scuffed up ProV1.
That’s why we call this one of the greatest tests a golfer will ever take. The other key to this tournament is that participants aren’t allowed to bring their own clubs.
In fact, you’ll be asked to leave if you don’t want to play by our rules, which include each two-man team using a vintage wood and one iron.
Two clubs per two-man team.
And a putter provided by the course (that’s a rules change I implemented this year because the greens are too nice at this course to use the 3/5 woods).
It’ll be great to meet some of you for the first time and to see others who show up each summer to take the test and hang with a great group of people who are just trying to get through life in the the funnest (yes, it’s in the dictionary) way possible.
I know Mig won’t be there for the first time in a few years. He’ll be missed.
But, I’ve heard from many others who I’ll meet for the first time. Charles K. is flying in Friday for the event. I know there are multiple teams driving in from Dayton that I’ve never met. I’ve heard from random emailers who say they’re in.
Remember to pack your patience and a lawn chair, if possible. Those of us who don’t make it into the first flight can sit under the trees on No. 9 and talk Screencaps.
Don’t golf? Show up and hang. You’ll meet some of the characters I’ve written about over the years.
