Tee times will be made!!

My excitement's building for this years Al’s Nest Open. Excited to see friends and not be sweating about COVID, have some beers, relax, see some greenery & laugh!

Attendance:

Actual registrations. Brian Danish & Brian Gaumer. Thank you to my non-Dick friends who actually use the website that I manage and pay for every year and try to gather information on attendance and supplies. You are appreciated and the same “there’s a website” joke is lame.

Verbal 1st time commitments: Mike Moyer, Carter Leonards. Secured from Mr. Moyer during OBX 2021 & Mr. Leonards at the conclusion of Lady Patriots season. Mr. Moyer likely to work a day or two while on vacation.

The returning non-golfer commitment: Anthony Forrest. He lives his recreational life according to Wiz Khalifa. “So what we get drunk, so what we smoke weed, we just havin’ fun, we don’t care who sees”. And then he steals my sweatshirt and vanishes.

The all hail In House Hockey Playoffs commitments: Bernie Gillespie & Ryan Kearney. Al’s Nest has been moved from its past two year schedule at the end of June to the beginning of June to accommodate these suckholes. Hopefully these two founding members deign to show up this year instead of playing out their Gretzky fantasies.

The stealth commitment: Kyle Yashin every year sends a separate text confirming his commitment to Al’s Nest. He shows up and eats and drinks like a much larger man and then vaporizes in the middle of the night after being chastised for leaving early for two days.

The “I have no choices” commitment: John Farley Jr. Finally got my brother in laws and Chuck up to see Pecks Pond and it’s proximity to Shawnee. We had a great time in October although we had to split time between Pecks and Shawnee. Now they will return for their first official Al’s Nest Open. He and Jarett both have new babies on the way so they will be more motivated than ever to enjoy some R and R before heading back into babyland.

The I pretend like I don’t get text commitment: Jason Boyne & Carmen Mozzillo. Old age has it privileges I guess. One founding member and one key member who no matter what is done will not confirm or deny their existence via virtual means. Bon chance to both of you. As in all past years your silence is consent and I’ll see you in June.

the forced commitment:

Brian Jones & Brett Horger. You come or we party at your houses and piss on your couches anyway. Welcome to Al’s Nest.

The creature of the night commitment: Justin Federsel & Dave Fly. They show up. Feed you edibles. Suddenly forget that they gave you 400% more than they should have. Look at each other and look back at you and say….”Enjoy the ride”

The one of one commitment: Andre Lennertz & George Barnock. They came to us from places like Lancaster and Glenside and served one year with distinction. We shall never see their like again as now their watch has ended….

The likely to return to make breakfast commitment: Eric Danish! The man the myth the legend.

The new spin the excuse Rolodex champion commitment: John Muthersbaugh. We have moved the date away from his birthday. Let us see if he is able to join us this year. Otherwise it will be Im in. I’m in. I’m in. Oh I forgot I’m donating a kidney and volunteering to house Ukraine refugees on the same day.

The never have, never will commitment: Chris Kahler & Bill Cleary

That being said I thrive in ambiguity. I will be making tee times this week. I will reserve for 12 golfers for a Thursday at Shawnee, 12 golfers for Friday at Great Bear, and 12 golfers for Saturday at CCOP. I will expand or contract the tee times as affirmations or excuses roll in. Love to all.
