If @BassMaestro is full I'll gladly take another member of the push cart mafia on my team.

@BassMaestro let me know if you are looking for someone still. If not then I will happily pair up with another push cart mafia member. Nowhere better for walking some fall golf than Michigan!

Hey @dback I did get my team filled out, sorry, but it sounds like the PCM has a spot for you. Good luck this season!

You can sign up as an alternate... never know... you could be tapped to be some team's ace in the hole!

My September isn't looking very good, or I'd be all over it. Next time though, I'm getting in on the madness.

@Lacassem I've seen some of the posts on guys getting together at some remote village course is Rawanda or somewhere like that to get a couple of rounds in.  I do believe we need to figure out a way, somehow, to get some of this Veteran crowd together with this warm weather warrior (@Javs) here so he doesn't get an extra 10% from the VA for getting passed up for a bottom dweller.  (All that said, and kidding aside, I really hope I didn't just stick you with a bad decision dropping the consistent, scratch player for a hacker getting ready to play a bunch of rounds on courses he hasn't seen yet, LOL!).

You are funny! I like it!!

Appreciate it, ill see if there team is full since I asked first and if so id be happy to join. Thanks!

Nice Try, @J7Hawkins, but he's all mine.  @GolfSpy TCB, I believe that sets us locked and loaded, yes?  

As I have it: Myself, @TG8, @EasyPutter and @ZMendle10.

"3 LABs & a Toulon Walk Into a Bar" are ready to go. (I was about to go with "Three LABs and a Little Matey" because I'm a sucker for bad Ted Danson movies, but I realized TG8 is not Australian and the idea that our group is the start to a punchline will get our opponents thinking we're a joke - and when we crush their bones to dust it will be us who are laughing. At them. Because we will have won.  I need to work on my trash talking, clearly.)

I also reserve the right to change our name until it is 100% perfect. 

WAIT! Do you guys (teammates, I mean) sing? If so, maybe we should go with "The Four One-Putts" - has a 50's-ish a capella group ring to it, lol. 

I'm an idiot. Carry on as you were.

[Preeway]

Team “Questionable Judgement” is still in the market for one more. Will respond to DMs in the morning as I slowly wake up over several cups of coffee.

Well @GolfSpy BOS seems to think the decision was already made.... haha.  

Enjoy the game Javs.  How does Scherzer look tonight?

He is correct and Scherzer was up to all the hype! Rangers looked really strong. Scherzer owned Ohtani tonight!!

[richk9holes]

@MaxEntropy @buckpillar

Have either of you found a team? Care to join up? (In the case of Max, I think is 1st or 2nd alternate now. I'm assuming we'll have more people bow out.)

@Preeway showed questionable judgement and asked me to join his team.  I accepted before he realized his mistake!!   

I was similarly fortunate as well.

I've really enjoyed today's opening of the MGS Virtual Tour Match Play Championship  free agency period.   The NFL has nothing on us!  

I spent most of the day just following all the signings, negotiations, and general banter.  It was great.  It just so happens, today is my wife's and mine 41st anniversary.  We were married on Long Island on August 14, 1982.   Since moving to Key West a bunch of years ago, we have a custom on our anniversary:  having our own little celebration bar crawl around Key West (for those who've been here...shocking I know)!  We go to our favorite breakfast place, start with mimosas and bloody mary's and then plot out our route to our favorite establishments.  Since we punched too many "fun tickets" over the weekend, we decided to truncate the bar crawl to only breakfast and our one true second stop.  We had a great late breakfast and got our bill.  The total was $41.82!  We had to look twice.  It was our 41st anniversary and we were married in 1982!  What a coincidence! 

We paid up and went to Key West Bait and Tackle.  What, a bait and tackle shop as your only other stop?   The reason is twofold.  First, they have the coldest beer on the island.  Second, on our first bar crawl we stopped there and got acquainted to White Trash Mimosas.  What are they?  It's a Millier High Life (you know, the Champaigne of bottle beer) and orange juice.  Knowing we were stopping there, I picked up a small bottle of OJ at the Dollar General.  They really are not as bad as they sound, especially if you pour it over ice.  We had our white trash mimosas, thanked our bartender and on our way home stopped for lottery tickets.  We were hoping that the $41.82 was a sign that we'd be a winner tonight!

If all this excitement is just in setting up the teams, I can't wait to see what happens when we start playing!!!!

That is a great story and congrats to you both.  We used to do an annual KW visit in late July and we miss it.  I am not sure how you did all of that AND followed all of this stuff; we may need to start a double-blind (pun intended) study to see if those WT Mimosas generate some kind of super-brain power LOL!

Congratulations! We just celebrated our 40th! Loved your story and hoping you both have many more memories together! Also hoping I am not still dead to you, ha ha! Take care and let’s get this match play going!

Ok everyone... here is a little housekeeping.  After looking through the threads (and there were a lot of moving parts...)  This is what I could ascertain:

I may have missed one or two.... so if I have the designation wrong above... please let me know.  

Also, you will note that @GolfSpy SAM recruited a player that is listed as an alternate.  That is because the 4 alternates were numbers 65-68 entries into the field.  So... unless one of the first 64 backs out... unfortunately that pick should remain an alternate, someone in the first 64 should be given a spot on that team.  

With that said... I am going to link ALL the names above (because I have only time on my hands to do so  ).... but seriously... 

Please validate that you are willing to play 1 round a week for up to 5 weeks beginning September 1st. 

If you aren't able to play - that's ok... we have some alternates that are anxious and waiting to fill your spot...

You can remove your name by updating your response to the poll (and letting me know). 

If you ARE still committing to play..

Respond to this thread... and while you are at it... go ahead and pick an available team to join and post it too!

 

Questions?  shoot me a DM and I'll respond as quickly as I can!

I, state your name, do solemnly validate that I will perform valiantly upon the field of at least one golf course per week for the next 5-weeks; endeavoring to leave as little physical and mental damage possible, to myself, my playing partners and the terra firma during said performance and I will diligently report upon said performance in accordance with the guidelines set herein. Cheers all

Yes, that means unavailable by Team Captains to pick... because you are already on a team.  I'll re-word that column for a future edit to make it more clear.  Bottom line... Yes, you are correct, you are in and on J7Hawkins' team
