Having a great time with our FGI brothers
Money round 💵💵was fun with my Canadian Brother Peter “English Cucumber” Weir

Also enjoyed playing with Dawyne and the Chinese Syndicate leader Jackie Z .

Today was a greaT day at Estrella Mt Round Vin Man and I tied Ali and Pete on the front 9

Went all square against Ali in a epic duel . Had him down one on 17 and then decided on 18 to not keep the drive in play on the largest fairway on the course 😞😞😞. And ended up going all square . It was our 3rd classic duel over the years and really fun

Vinman felt sorry for the Canadian and donated him a 2-1 win 🤣

My understanding is somehow the east team sandbagged their way to a 4.5 to 4.5 tie and retained the cup that continues to stand proudly in my office 🤣👍

Tomorrow we try to repeat for the red hat with my partner Kenny. Looking forward to one of my favorite courses We KO Pa 👊👊👊

    Kenny only had one outburst this morning. Not a club throw, but a loudly cursed club slap on the tee box. 😎

      Congratulations to all the winners 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇

      Fun time as usual at DS. Big thanks to Rick for setting this all up, courses were awesome 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼…..good see everyone again, I always say it’s not so much about the golf but the lifetime of friendships that we have. Until next be safe everyone.

      CallMeAl Only one club toss today. He didn’t appreciate not being able to drive on a few holes and having to walk across the entire fairway to hit 🤣🤣🙄

        Another fun week has ended. It was wonderful to make it back after a 2 year absence due to c19 restrictions.

        A great group of gentlemen that typically only see each other once annually but who share an uncommonly tight bond. I am proud to call them friends and brothers.

        To Darthfader, Darkside, and Tapin.....thank you for coming out .....we all enjoyed having three FGI Legends re-connect.

        To Customgolf ( keeper of my clubs ) and JackZ thanks for the efforts to get my sticks to me Tuesday.

        To my roomies, Hobbit, Jamez and D-Wayne.....good times. Thanks Jamez for driving.

        To my money round and Championship partners ( Jimengaz1 and JohnH) cheers and lets defend next year🤟

        Last and certainly not least, to Rick = Hobbit, a HUGE thanks for all the work you go through to set this week up, booking courses, setting up teams, dealing with the numbers and last minute changes, handicap spreadsheets and scorecards and so much more....we all are truly grateful for your efforts to make this week run so smoothly and be so much fun.

        Until next year my friends, only 359 more sleeps

        Desert Storm Champions for 2022 - @Weirfan and John R with a score card playoff win on their -1 round. Congrats to the winners!

        And apologies for making the playoff such a cluster fuck - eyes are getting old! For those not there - they were the winners, then it was @jamez and Mike H, then it was back to Weirfan and John in an epic but embarrassing turn of events 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

        hobbit

        IIRC, 2nd place in the $$$ round should be D-Wayne and JackZ , should it not ?
