Brolympic Platinum: Brolympic VII Recap: Part One

When last we left our intrepid heroes, Team Fugate was enjoying a 6-0 Brolympic advantage. Although there was some discussion over the validity of the 6th Championship after a scoring discrepancy was discovered during the Bro 6 Recaps. Hard to believe an all day drinking event may play fast and loose with the numbers (etc.). While working on the Bro 6 recaps, this reviewer experienced some NAM-like gustatory flashbacks with potential horrifying ramifications.

Brolympic HQ was undergoing a historic renovation, with an addition of a swimming pool and decking, in the weeks leading up to BROVII.

Weather had pushed deadlines back, and concrete was being poured Wednesday (the day before broathletes begin to arrive). Online bloggers and the occasional wife expressed concern over the large, empty concrete pit that we would be competing next to over the span of BROVII. Speaking of weather, Hurricane Matthew was working his way up the East Coast, with a potential damper to our weekend festivities. As plans for a best of 37 NES Challenge (coincidentally Lewis's #1 reoccurring wet dream) were being drafted, Nate called off the guards with a reassuring report from Brett Thackara.

Thursday Night, Mike E's traveling Brolympic museum and exotic spice emporium* arrived at Bro HQ. He was met by Lewis and the Commish. Shortly after, Santa Deluca dropped in with some unexpected surprises, that can only be described as "Tijuana in a Box", minus the clap.

These thoughtful gifts will surely make an appearance at a later time. Unrelated, there is supposedly a karaoke fiend terrorizing Georgia that goes by Midnight Monsoon.

FRIDAY- A.M.

Weave arrived Friday a.m. to play an early morning round w/ Ty, Steve and Anthony. In typical fashion, the fellas eased into the day.

While the a.m. hackers did their thing, Mike E. was a Bed Bath and Beyond trip short of a nice Frank the Tank type morning. After a brief trip to the home improvement store to pick up 600 lbs of sand, he was back at HQ trying to fashion some temporary horseshoe pits. Moving all that sand 3-4 times was an ingenious strategic move by Team Fugate to try and tire Mike E. out. Fortunately he was able to dip into the Commish's Dirtwolf for a little rehydration.

Team Erno was bolstered as Chris arrived to help complete the project. He of course brought some help of his own.

FRIDAY- AFTERNOON

Rose joined Mike E., Chris and Weave on Team Erno to face off against the Team Fugate trio of Ty, Steve and Anthony for the afternoon scramble. New this year were the first ever Brolympic Golf Shirts, which debuted another new logo. Prop bets began to fly off the board, and once again we were treated to tremendous visuals that were "almost" as worthy as the play on the course.
