The Weekend
Three days of activities, zero brackets. Everyone showing up is already a champion of something; this is where we all get together to prove it. In between, we recover the only way we know how.
★ Friday · Oct 16

10:40 AM
Golf · Irving Golf Club Tee times start at 10:40 and run in groups from there. Clubs required, talent optional. Irving Golf Club · Irving, TX

After golf
Roll In to the Pye Presidential Palace Straight from the 18th to John Pye's. Drop bags, claim a couch; doors open whether you golfed or not.

Evening
Pizza & Movie Night at the Palace Friday night stays loose. The group splits a pizza order to keep it simple, then lights down and big screen on. Film TBD; golf-adjacent cinema strongly favored. Falling asleep on the couch counts as attendance. John Pye's house
★ Saturday · Oct 17

Morning
Free-for-All · Pick Your Round No set plan, two offers on the table. Abram is rounding up a disc golf crew (if you've got discs, bring every one you own, the loaner bag is thin). John Pye is willing to play a round at Duck Creek for anyone who wants a second day of real golf. Or do neither and sleep in. Everyone reconvenes at the Palace. Disc golf with Abram · or Duck Creek with Pye

4:00 PM
Shrimp Boil at the Palace The pot goes on at 4 sharp. A late-enough start that the parents in the group can make it after nap time. Shrimp, corn, potatoes, sausage, the works, plus recovery drinking on the patio. John Pye's house

9:00 PM
Halo 2 LAN Party Late night, old school. We need as many Xbox 360s, copies of Halo 2, and controllers as this group can muster, so dig through the closet and bring everything that still powers on. Blood Gulch awaits. Don't stay up too late; the karts don't care how you feel. John Pye's house

10:00 AM
Go-Karts · Dallas Karting Complex Full-send karting at DKC. Closed-toe shoes are mandatory on the track, so don't show up in flip-flops. Dallas Karting Complex · Caddo Mills, TX

2:00 PM
Bobby's Boat A handful of people are taking Bobby's boat out for the afternoon. Space is limited, so claim your spot with Bobby early. Sunscreen, towel, and a cooler contribution. Then hugs and road. See you in 2027.
Home Base
Movie night, the shrimp boil, and the LAN party all happen at the Pye Presidential Palace, which is John Pye's house, generously donated to the cause. You don't have to play a single round to show up: skip the golf, skip the discs, skip the karts, and hang at the Palace anyway.
