Rapture Reminders

We're less than a month away from the 2021 Rapture. Things you should be doing, or have already done:
  • Making sure you're off work on Friday, October 8th
  • Coordinating rides down to Naples on Thursday, October 7th. Comment on here when you get a car figured out so we have an idea who's arriving together.
  • Informing your WAG you'll be gone that weekend.
  • If you're planning on getting COVID, I'd recommend doing so now. If not... then be careful out there.
    • We only have two alternates: Billy and Topor. If someone has to bail for any reason, we'll attempt to replace them with those alternates. But the closer we get to the event, the more likely they won't be available to fill in.
      • If a team is down a player and we can't get a Club Member alternate... their partner will be playing by themselves Rounds 1 & 2. In Chapman they'll just be playing one ball (not multiple shots). In Singles, it's an automatic forfeit.
      • This will probably lead to three lost points. Bailing in team golf should be super penal, and every Club event operates this way (as Faz discovered up in NJ).
  • Report your scores. Some of you do a good job of this, or at least use apps that I can check. Others are complete shit. Text me scores if you play during the off-season and we aren't "friends" on an app.
  • Get your gear in order. Balls. Gloves. Rain gear. Blue/Orange shirts. Etc.
  • We usually do a terrible job with pictures. Picture Day is going to be Friday before our first round at Talis Park. Wear your best colors then.

These are *estimated* strokes for each match. They're subject to change on October 1st, but this should give you an idea if you want to make some commentary/picks::

  1. I’ll be out of work at 5 on Thursday if anybody wants to carpool

  2. The first car getting down there Thursday and unlocking everything appears to be: myself, Gary, Darren, Travis.

    You're welcome.

  3. Have you people discussed carpooling yet? The Orange house has a lot of rules... and the woman renting the property will be meeting us. One of those rules is only THREE cars on site.

    With Darren's car... that leaves two cars.

    If you people are driving alone, be prepared to roll the dice with leaving your car in a mall parking garage. I unfortunately don't know the area, so you'll be figuring it out on the fly.

    So to avoid that, let's fill up those cars!

  4. I’m gonna work a normal day Thursday if there’s a crew of people willing to leave around 5 or so. I’d offer to drive but I can only realistically fit two others in my car with clubs and whatnot. Only other person I’ve talked to about carpooling is Melberg, who also has a small car.
