Everything’s bigger in Texas, right? At least, that’s what they told us when we decided to start a Roost spanning 3 of the 4 largest metro areas in the state. Undeterred, the South Texas Roost Of Hospitality was born! Did we choose the name with much reason? Sure did, definitely didn’t backronym it based on a brewery founded 250 years ago in Detroit, and broken up in the early 2000s, nope, definitely not that! Nothing to do with the plentiful amounts of old beer/brewery merch that can be found on eBay! So, now you’ve got a bunch of golf sickos, in a Bermuda [grass] Triangle of sorts, spanning a nearly 450-mile round-trip loop. How do we get everyone to compete on a fair playing ground without traveling hundreds of miles for 18 holes? From this, our Muni Tour was born.
Two Municipal golf courses in each city, six in total, rounds posted asynchronously by our players, and a leaderboard to track which Stroh is leading the charge. Well now you’ve got a season-long contest, but we’re not those filthy Brits who finish their season and declare a winner, we’re Americans, and in America, we have PLAYOFFS (JimMoraPlayoffs.gif). FedEx cup anyone? Shadow leaderboards? One round to decide it all? Truly, the American way. The Muni Tour Championship was born. Remember that Bermuda Triangle from earlier? Yeah about that…..organizing an event that is logistically feasible for all Roost members is….complicated. But we’ve found a home in Brenham Country Club. Just between Houston and College Station, Brenham CC is that old-school, neighborhood kind of club. The routing is divine, if a bit confusing (just ask @Josh Donelson and @heathgardenhire how many times we almost played the wrong hole), the staff is incredibly welcoming, and the conditioning is top-notch. We’d found our home. 2022 was our first crack at it, and now we’re back, this time with more STROH’s!
When: 6/24/2023, tee times starting at 10am
Where: Brenham Country Club (https://www.brenhamcc.com/), Brenham, Texas
Format: Net Stableford game with an added comp for STROH’s members with extra points based on their Muni Tour Standings (ala FedEx Cup)
Thank you all for playing! Congrats to Austin Alaniz for being our 2023 MTC winner.
