FBGC Masters - Spring 2026 Recap

Tall Mike took care of business, winning his 5th tournament of the season and securing his 5th Club Championship yesterday at Glen Lakes. His gutsy... and grindy... performance was amazing to watch as he literally spent 2+ hours standing in a "golf position." My lower back started to hurt halfway through the round watching him frozen in that pose.

But the method to his madness paid off. He now has the most points per event in a season, 2nd most points scored in a season, most wins in a season, 3rd largest margin of victory, and he's the first player to win all three Majors in a single season.

 

And of course, his handicap has only dropped 1.1 since the start, so there's no reason to think he couldn't run in back in the Summer.

 

He's also all but guaranteed to be a Rapture Captain (for the 5th time).

 

The Goat Moose

Glen Lakes was great as always, but very difficult as the winds picked up throughout the round. There were 8 holes were three or fewer players carded a par or better: #2, #3, #5, #10, #15, #16, #17, and #18. The closing stretch in particular was brutal to the field. And the pin on #2 was so bad it's good, but a pace of play nightmare.

 

Speaking of, great job by everyone on playing fast per Glen Lake's request. Three of the groups finished under the posted pace, which included two foursomes - one of which took 409 strokes! Unfortunately, our greatest champion of all time wouldn't have finished in under 4 hours if not for playing in a threesome. Because of this, he has been docked 1,007 "DPT Points" and has now won the season by a mere 0.5.

 

----------------------------------

 

We're off for 2 months as we didn't need any of our scheduled make-up weeks. I might need that entire time to recover from the after-after party yesterday...

 

I'll probably do a bunch of scouting to see if any turds have turned into gems. So if anyone wants to experience some shit golf, let me know.

 

Great season, everyone!
