I’d love to participate as a backup in case a couple people can’t make it. This sounds AWESOME!

 Noted. We will have some spots, still determining how we’ll fill them, but I have you down as interested.

[Preeway]

Not sure how far out I am from qualifying but I’m up to serve as a sub if needed.

Hi Ben, what a superb idea and concept. Unfortunately, I am scheduled for hip replacement surgery a little more than a week from now, so regrettably I will be unable to participate. My sincere regrets.  Please offer my spot to the next available person. Cheering for all of you guys.  

Best of luck.  I had a fellow golfer have both his hips done at the same time and was back golfing in six weeks.

I had both knees replaced. It was a hard recovery. I heard hips are much better. I will say after 13 knee operations getting them replaced was real relief! I hope you are ready to go late spring!

@Javs, I agree with you.  I only had "only" had four operations on my left knee before I had mine replaced.  The funny part was I really didn't have any pain after the replacement (that's how much pain I was in for so long that the replacement procedure and rehab felt better)!  

[Golf2Much]

I'm obviously in! 

Think of this as MGS March Madness!  Like March Madness, we have several people "on the bubble!"  The week 44 standings show eight golfers within 200 points and twelve golfers within 300.  With a few weeks to go, there's still time to sneak into the top 32.  

So, post those rounds (on the course or SIM rounds) in and punch your ticket to the MGS Dance! 

As Flounder said in Animal House, "this is going to be great!"

You’re currently in 37th but not too far out of the top 32. If you’re able to get any rounds in actual or Sim over the next few weeks. You may still play your way in. But we’ve also had a few decline for various reasons so there is a good chance you can get a spot one way or the other.

[Golf2Much]

@Preeway, you're less than 100 points from 32nd but more importantly, only 200 points from 25th!

You are definitely in the hunt!  Check out week 44 update.

I’m on it!

[MC3157]

Count me in!! Hopefully the weather will cooperate!!

[unccross]

I’d love to be an alternate if possible, just started playing in these 2-3 weeks ago though. Probably way down the list

Noted. You are down the list, but interest counts for a lot, so we’ll see how it shakes out.

[J7Hawkins]

I’m in!

[CB Lobo 4 Life]

Count me in! This is going to be awesome!

[vandyland]

I'm in!

[CudaKota66]

I'd like to thank the academy for my nomination 

@GolfSpy_BEN, unfortunately, I am currently on the PUP list - totally planned due to a golf season that runs April - Nov/Dec (IF we're extremely lucky). Dec - April is our off-season & time to get procedures out of the way. I just got cleared to resume fitness classes 

Good luck to those participating!! I look forward to resuming the chase in April 

[IndyBonzo]

Great idea!

I am farther down the list than top 32, but if monkeys fly and it falls to me, I would be happy to join in now that the weather is improving!

Thank you. Would be very happy to be golfing 6 weeks after surgery. 

[Cfhandyman]

Gee Ben, we may just need a play in tournament for those vacant spots. The MGS VCT March golf madness.

I hope it goes well for you with a quick recovery @Cfhandyman

[fozcycle]

Thanks for the invite……Absolutely count me in! This sounds like fun!

[Mr. Mushball]

I'm all the way in.  Hopefully on track to start driving down scores, even with the wet weather of the season.

Thank you. Your kind words are appreciated.

Just as an FYI, based on the week 44 standings only 325 points separate position 25 through 41 and less than 175 points for positions 27 through 39 so this is tight. If you can’t play outdoors consider an indoor SIM round. Course handicap is 0 for SIM rounds. There are 3 weeks left. Food for thought.

I'm trying to claw my way in!

You’re getting oh so close. By my count 3 of the top 32 have declined for a variety of reasons. Only 122 points separate you from position 28 and less than 100 points to position 32. So keep grinding.

Play hard and break on in!

[Preeway]

With courses starting to open back up (weather permitting) I’m really hoping to work my way up.
