Bro X Recap- Part I

Can you believe it? 10 years.  Who would have thought...a bunch of idiots in their early 30's trying to find time to hang out, have a few drinks and sprinkle in some light competition, would turn a one day gathering into a multiple day spectacle?  This one day multi-event tournament rapidly morphed into something pretty special, complete with pyrotechnics, state of the art multimedia presentations, incredible feats of stupidity and a sporadic athletic performance for the ages. 

Since 2010, our work responsibilities have changed, our families have grown, and we've had the occasional health scare; yet this weekend still shines like lit flatulence on a moonless night. Every year this explosive mix of competition, absurd ABV and waning testosterone produces countless memories, questionable bruises and a stupid amount of laughter.  

Without sounding like a complete psychopath, it's a comfort to know that so many of you feel as protective of what we have as do I.  And now, I'm out of words to this preamble and am about to flood you with copious amounts of golf photos.  

Without further ado, a hasty Brolmpic X recap, based on one Bro's failing memory of a weekend approximately 365 days ago (That's roughly 827 days in 2020 time)

THURSDAY

The excitement leading up to Bro X was off the charts.  As always, the group text is a source for some A+ content as finale preparations are being made.  Some share their impressive selection, 

while others clock in and get a head start on their Brolympics weekend.


Some fairly accurate prognostication takes place...

And eventually Bros begin to trickle into Bro HQ.  

Local fun fact: A strange man greeting children after school with an open Busch light is not that uncommon in Cornwall. 


Old friends are reacquainted as the evening creeps closer to tomorrow morning's tee time.  

FRIDAY

We're chock full of Bros for a.m. golf.  Pairings are: 

  • Dave W., Dave R., Nate and Anthony
  • Chris, Mike E., Ty and Lewis


More strange men at the bus stop, as Rose attempts to 21 Jump Street an Elementary School. 

As previously forecasted, a hornitos three-putt made an appearance at hole 1. Speaking of appearance, Chad clocks in for the weekend and is immediately put to work, bringing refreshments through Ty's woods.  Aaaaaand, speaking of woods this walking advertisement for proper golf etiquette was caught cleaning the Cornwall forest floor. Smokey the Bear approves. 




DIVOT!

The Team Erno vs. Team Fugate scramble kicked off around 2:30.  Chris immediate left hole 1 to go back to Bro HQ, concerned that his two beers would not last until the turn.  He of course was 1000% right as by the third hole he was keeping pace with his customary one Busch Light per hole. 

Probably a hole in one.  Who can remember?




It's really not fair for Team Fugate that Busch Light is a performance enhancer.
