MD/DC/VA Golfers - Twelve Monkeys Mental Divergence

[SullGolf]

Let's get 827 in there to represent FedEx next year. He may not be a massive sandbagger like his boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss' boss, but he has been known to make the occasional net zero.

 

Now I'm curious. Did you just cut and paste "boss's" a bunch, or think how many bosses he actually has? That's 13 bosses, which probably isn't that far off. I seem to fluctuate between 7-10 bosses between me an the top dogs, depending on how close we are to the most recent "we should be flatter" initiative. But when you write it out as "boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's" it seems a little absurd and makes me feel like more of a small fry than I already am.

I just typed boss's until I got tired of it.

A new TV ad airs for FedEx Inspirational music plays..

 

An image appears of Golfer827 carrying a stack of FedEx boxes up the mountains of Harper's Ferry.

The announcer drones: "Here at FedEx, we take pride in a job well done."

 

Image appears of Golfer827 wrestling away FedEx package away from rabid black bear.

 

"At FedEx, our employees are the pride and joy, and the reason our company is so successful."

 

Image appears of Golfer827 beating the hell out of redneck porch pirates.

 

"Last year, our Executive Vice President, Mr. Colleran won the Pro-Am at Pebble Beach. A remarkable achievement, considering that a 13hcp shot 18 shots under his cap on 3 of the hardest golf courses in America in wintry conditions. Mr. Colleran has since left our employ under duress, and his spot on the Pro-Am team will be filled by none other than Golfer827, employee of the year at our Hagerstown center!"

 

Images show Golfer827 clad in FedEx Polo, Hat, Pants, Golf Bag, Face Tattoo.

 

"Our company is proud of Golfer827 for going above and beyond for FedEx, and this is just our simple way of saying Thank You."

 

Images show Golfer827 on the range, shaking hands with pros, staring down Phil Mickelson after dropping a putt for a net zero.

 

"So we salute all our employees who make our company great!"

 

Image shows Golfer827 saluting the flag as the Stealth Bomber flies overhead and fireworks in the background, fades to FedEx logo on the screen.

I think I have... 7 bosses ahead of me? I can verify a rough idea of the tree that leads to me.

[ceejay81]

[Golfer827]

Well, that's in terms of level of bosses, and might be less than that in level. Total bosses above me? Probably... hell, 400?

You've given us about 4 months worth of pretend scenario stories today, OC. Two of them dedicated to 827 alone. Slow day on the shore?

Rain all day with some ice/sleet mixed in down here. The phone last rang around 1pm and it was a telemarketer about Medicare. So, yeah...

[FAbb]

Also, you have no idea what the audience for 95.5 is, OC. I can tell you with certainty that your musical selections won't play well.

[Ocgolfrick]

In other heartwarming news, someone transposed a phone number in the #ThrillaintheVilla thread and we've got this rando guy in there who's great. I think he's on the verge of traveling down to Pinehurst with us.

[TheCityGame]

He golfs watermelons and has a weakness for pickles.

 

And I still don't think that C. Free is on the group text.

[thechief16]

I read a report that Phil had the new Flash in the bag last week and he said that contributed to his poor play. He switched back to his old driver this week.

If you go to his winning WITB page they have him playing the Rogue.

 

There's a link in that story goes to his WITB 2019 page, which shows him bagging the Flash.

 

He hit 13/13 FW's on thursday. I don't know how much he used driver. But, on the weekend, he only hit 7/14 both days. You gotta figure that's not going to get it done at the Open.

 

FWIW, I think I saw somewhere this week that Phil says he is going to bag the Rogue through the Masters.

The FrankenTyne is finished getting cerakoted. I should have it back this week, so I can paint fill, and build it up.

 

It's got some tough competition in the SlanTyne. I've hit a lot of CSPPs with it so far this winter.

[HighBoomingDraws]

I’m confident I’ve picked another Jay Day type pick for the Genesis that will result in 7 other people having the same pick. Yet I can’t see myself changing said pick...

 

[FAbb]

I haven't even thought about this week. I'd expect it to be one of the most diverse set of picks yet this season. First full field event with lots of big dogs.

Is there a local shop that can “bead blast” paint off a putter?

When I worked for ADP, I think I had like 12 guys between myself and the head honcho.

That was just so great. I will treasure that thread for the rest of my life. Good ol' Randolph....

Poor guy. Just wanted someone to chat with for a while.

[2moreTerps]

i understand long term forecasts are extremely variable but there is not a day with a projected high temp over 60 degrees until March 27th.

[ceejay81]

Randolph the rando said he had a bad day and it cheered him up, so overall it was a win/win.

I would think a group picture of us in front of the Payne Stewart statue with a handmade sign saying "We miss you Randolph!" would be an appropriate gesture. Should give him a warm and fuzzy feeling that day.

[baddomes]

Remember.

 

Randolph has all your phone numbers.

[Johnny T]

Such a feel good story...my wife really enjoyed the story of Randolph.

[TheCityGame]

i understand long term forecasts are extremely variable but there is not a day with a projected high temp over 60 degrees until March 27th.

Outside of 10 days, forecasts are -- generally -- no better than just looking at long term averages. We're not that good, yet.

[TheCityGame]

Randolph has all your phone numbers.

I gave him your address. Said he's looking for someone to hang out with in DC.

Isn't that normal anyways? I always thought of highs being in the 50s in mid to late March.
