2025 PGA Championship – Quail Hollow

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Pledge of Allegiance
THE THANG:
Inspired by the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow this will be a loop with 18 stops. The distance between the stops are based on the length of the holes (slightly modified down to get us 3 miles instead of the actual length of 4.3). The stops were marked with cones.
•Red = Par 4 = 4 Burpees
•Yellow = Par 3 = 20 Big Boys
•Green = Par 5 = 20 American Hammers
•Green Mile = Written on cardboard signs

We stuck together for the first 8 holes (1.25 miles) and then I turned the fast guys loose to run the remainder of the course (1.75 miles).

I didn’t hear it all, but I did hear some great mumble chatter:
– “Where’s the cart girl?” – Cyclopes
– “What’s the distance from the senior tees?” – Barry Manilow
– “There’s no such thing as a par 6, right?” – Dark Helmet

Thank you Nasa for the call.

COT:
Thank you Slapshot for your dedication and efforts as the 1st F Q!

Congratulations Bonsai and Time Machine on taking on the 1st F Q roles and to Cyclopes on assuming the LDP role. Really looking forward to seeing what you bring!

Do Overs

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
SSH
Windmill
Merkins
Peter Parker’s

THE THANG:
Do Overs

I created the MXC – Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. Form teams of 3. Split work among the team. Complete Groups I and II separately. In between sets in the group, do the mode of transportation before the next set.
After Groups I and II are complete, farmer carry bell to the top of Bob Jones Stadium road and back

Group I
Mode of transport: Bear Crawl to cones and back
5 – Manmakers
10 – Curls
15 – Goblet Squats
20 – Bentover Rows
25 – Chess Press on 6
20 – Renegade Rows (1x)
15 – Flutters, Bell High (2x)
10 – Tris
5 – Manmakers

Group II
Mode of transport: run block around parking lot
20 reps
1. Deadlift
2. Shoulder Press
3. Cleans (1x)
4. Swings
5. Lunges
6. Snatches

Farmer Carry to top of hill and back

After challenge was complete, I asked teams for time. 15-20 minutes was average.

I gave the team a “do over” and the challenge was to be repeated but faster.

COT: You were given a second chance. How will you use? What will you do better? Get a faster time. what bad event happened to you: layoff, parenting, divorce. What will you do differently next time?

Improvements: I would shorten the bear crawl distance and bell carry distance.

Music: The Killers – Hot Fuss
