But before you start daydreaming about hoisting the Fuzzbutt Cup over your head in victory...we need to talk...


Were tryin to get a preliminary planning done for our Furry golf tourney next year. So far We are confident that atimist atimist , nbowa nbowa , jaceshepherd jaceshepherd and delako delako will be attending. Of course we want as many players as possible, but worst case scenario is we get 5 total players...since resorts do not allow 5-somes and its just not as fun to play a group of 2 and 3. Therefore I am trying to find at least 2 others that may want to come to give us a total of 6 (two 3-somes). After that..the more the merrier! So if you know anyone please ask! I want to book in February, giving folks that are confirmed a full 6 months to save if needed.

Anywho! The plan this year so far is to go around the same time we went this past year, which was the last weekend in September. Its between major conventions so that should make it easier for folks to come. Its also a time of year where we can go pretty much anywhere and have decent weather.

That being said we are trying to keep the cost below 1000$ for the golf..travel and food etc not included. I want to try to get everyone involved and happy for the lowest price possible, but I also want a quality vacation for everyone too and not have folks feel like they are compromising. So we will eventually have a vote once we get CONFIRMATIONS on which folks are attending. The folks confirming they want to go need to be OK with ANY AND ALL choices available before the vote..and not back out once the vote is made if their top choice isnt picked. I will personally be putting down the deposit on the booking, with the attendees paying me upon arrival at the resort.

So, I would like to have a list of 5 resort choices.

The Options thrown around right now have been...

Pinehurst
TPC Sawgrass
La Quinta
Barton Creek

PInehurst would probably be the most expensive. I dont know what rates would be in September, but thats near peak season so I would expect at least 200-300 a night including golf, plus the 195$ fee for playing No. 2. Theres a pretty sweet Acura deal going on now for 3 rounds and 2 nights for 720$..plus each room (booked in pairs) gets a 300$ gift card and dinner and breakfast is included...but I dont know if that would be available when we go.

TPC Sawgrass would be around 1000$ for 3 rounds (2 on the dye and 1 on the stadium). Would be awesome to play the stadium...Cheapest option for me since its only a 6 hour drive or so ;)

Barton Creek is in Austin, Texas. It has a few really nice courses (best in Texas) and the prices are pretty moderate. It would probably be between 800-1000$ for a 4 night stay, but the nice thing about this one is you can replay the courses for free (with cart fee only). So theres potential for a LOT more golf.

La Quinta is the least expensive option. With the room and golf it comes out to around 500-600 a person for 4 nights and 4 rounds including PGA West. The reason being..is that in late september the daytime temps are still in the mid 90s there... We would be there a few weeks before overseeding, so course conditions shouldnt be a problem.

I would also LOVE to have fursuits too. I can forsee a Fursuit Pitch Putt and Drive contest with a special trophy for that winner...but I would have to ask the reort if thats doable..and weather permitting may not be feasable. But Suits are welcome in the hotel! Nbowa had fun last year in Kiawah waving at joggers :)

So! Please feel free to share this with anyone you think may be interested! Also please make some Resort suggestions. We need to narrow it down to 5 Choices before the confirmed attendees have a vote to decide this years location of the FUZZBUTT INVITATIONAL!!!

So I will set a soft deadline for Confirmation of..February 15th. At that time we will have our vote and book by Feb 28th.

Please reply to me with any suggestions on courses or other ideas or concerns!

Hope to see you on the course!
