Erik -
Dude, thank you. Thanks for making a unique experience, full of great times and outstanding folks. Thanks for providing the opportunity to get out of my comfort zone, to grab my camera and walk around with some like minded people with a common passion.
Everyone who had been to a previous event, noted how much fun they’d had. But honestly, I was surprised when I realized the golf wasn’t the highlight. Seeing all the smiles, the joy of a good shot EVERYONE experienced, and even the woes of a hosel rocket through the “shank zone” - all have become memories I’ll enjoy looking back on for years.
It’s fun being part of a golf community, and what I saw last week was truly the epitome of a golf community. If only for a day, or for a short buddy trip, it’s great to be around a bunch of degenerate “athletes”, meeting new people and crafting memories. You provided the framework for an amazing time, the opportunity to experience everything we see on social media, and feel what it’s like to be a part of the Random Golf Club. There were some amazing golfers, some not so great golfers, and everything in between. And everyone seemed to have a great time.
I appreciated the opportunity to snap a few pictures along the way, and considered it a treat to walk up the fairway with you, and soak it all in. It’s fun watching folks have fun. The older I get, it seems I get more and more enjoyment out of watching people and making people smile, than ever before.
From the outside, it seems like you know what you have here in this community, and you really truly appreciate it. That’s one of the things that drew me to RGC, and it’s pretty cool to have met you and see it in real life.
So again, thanks for having the gumption to develop and build RGC and bringing all of us along for the journey.
Good luck the rest of the way to you and your team, and can’t wait to run it again in 2025.
