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!

COT: Held – prayers for recovery from injuries, those with failing health, and continued faith when faced with Life’s obstacles – very fitting given some of the quotes on Resilience:

Ancient Philosophers:
-. Seneca:
“Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.”
-. Marcus Aurelius:
“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
(—This is often paraphrased as: “The obstacle is the way.”)

New Testament Scripture:
1. Romans 5:3–5 (KJV):
“We glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
And hope maketh not ashamed…”
2. 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 (KJV):
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed;
we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken;
cast down, but not destroyed.”
3. James 1:12 (KJV):
“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried,
he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.”
4. Philippians 4:13 (KJV):
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
5. Galatians 6:9 (KJV):
“And let us not be weary in well doing:
for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

Complex Math

Leave a comment

16 at Minnow Pond for a test of speed and math skilz.
Simple loop around town, four stops
Stop 1 – COT – Merkins
Stop 2 – Pharmacy – LBCs
Stop 3 – Parking lot – SSHs
Stop 4 – Gazebo – Squats
Back to COT for lap 2
Rep count Lap 1 was 2 for everyone
Rep count Lap 2 was 4 for everyone
Rep count Lap 3 was 6 for everyone except the lead pax, 8 reps
additional laps: Lead Pax rep counts = 2 x prior lap reps
everyone else rep count = lap # x 2
Guys out front reach the 64 rep count based on the compounding.
Short lesson, compounding can be excellent when you are looking at saving money, over time it accumulates to a nice sum of money. On the other hand, when you have issues that go unchecked, they can result in a bigger problem down the road. Make sure you keep coming out, share what’s on your mind with your shield lock.
