the annual Golf Trip tournament are well aware of that award—the
unparalleled Terrapin Travelin’ Trophy, commonly known as the

As you can see by the old countdown clock on the wall, the
Golf Trip is a little over a week away. Our Twenty Third year looks
to be the best yet. The field for this year's tournament will
feature a familiar cast, with no first time players. Both
Greg
"Stone Cold" Goddard and
Michael
"The Hoser" Moser return after one-year layoffs due to injuries.

to contend for the Turtle. The rest of the field is composed of the
usual cohorts, who can be viewed
here. Peruse the
Initial Quotas Chart

available at these links:

It's about time to saddle up the old hovercraft and head to the
tournament. See you in Southern Pines!
