Ran around….did some stuff

Substi-Q'ing for Super-G who was not feeling well. We found some good ways to do hard stuff with our muscles. It came from one of my old weinke's balled up in a corner of the trunk of my car.

Masters Party at Dawn Patrol

A tradition unlike any other…The Masters. This time of year is one of my favorites. The weather starts to turn warmer. The trees and flowers start to bloom. People start coming outside of their homes. And the NCAA tournament concludes right into my favorite sporting event of the year, the Masters. With this in mind, I thought I would prepare a Weinke inspired by the tournament. I borrowed some of this from Warning Track and others via reviewing their backblasts.

Weather – chilly 39 degrees at launch

Disclaimer given during lots of mumblechatter

COP
SSH x 30 – this is the standard
IW x 10
Cherry Picker x 10
CDD x 10
Mtn climber x 10

Mosey to the “tee box”

In honor of the Masters, we played the front 9 holes revealing the name of each hole, the yardage and par. Pax chose the club necessary for the shots based on the following criteria:

  • Woods including Driver – 10 merkins
  • Long Irons – 10 jump squats
  • Short Irons – 10 Big Boys

When arriving on the green, Pax were given the following options:

  • 2 Putt – # of burpees for par
  • Birdie – no burpees but must answer a trivia question correctly
  • Bogey – penalty if a trivia question was missed which equated to twice the amount of burpees

#1 Tea Olive – 495 yards Par 4
#2 Pink Dogwood – 575 yards Par 5
#3 Flowering Peach – 350 yards Par 4
#4 Flowering Crab Apple – 240 yards Par 3
#5 Magnolia – 495 Yards Par 4
#6 Juniper – 180 Yards Par 3
#7 Pampas – 450 Yards Par 4
#8 Yellow Jasmine – 570 Yards Par 5
#9 Carolina Cherry – 460 Yards Par 4

Had to cut it short after 8 holes but the Pax were even par with 3 birdies, 3 bogeys and 3 pars.
