b'came late, others left early, but for a brief moment, all found themselves together on a course, sharing in a sport they love.Other years, such as last, there were just four who made the trip, but that didnt put a stop to the festivities. It was on this trip that nicknames were born, and John One second, I know my ball is like right over here Taylor sent a wayward toe shot right into Austin Just keep your head down Montgomerys shoulder, leaving a welt bigger than the ball itself. Although it was just the four of them, that year went down as one of the best in the gatherings brief history, leaving the absent members envious that they missed out. Like when Dillon The Personality Hire Manley chipped it in from 75 yards and yelled Thats for birdie!, forgetting that he had lost his ball and took a drop just one shot prior. Or when Jack Always has the Birdie Juice but Never the Birdie Guggenheimer iced Austin after a long putt, making him take a knee on the course and finish his whole drink. After these wild moments and memorable photos, everyone found themselves excited for the next gathering, and most recently 16 members signed up. Putting down a deposit, they all are awaiting the 2025 season. Since the creation of this annual trip, two friends have gotten married, three have had a child, others have lost their jobs, moved one, two or even three times. Some have experienced promotions, others have endured loss and heartache. Each year, some friends are unable to make the trek, others make it no matter what. Regardless, the same group is always invited, welcome to bring new friends along with them. New courses are found, old friends are called, and connections remain. Despite the ever-growing time and geographical distance between those involved, love and friendship endure. Thanks to the spirit of golf.'
