312. 2025 HVDGPPotY and 2026 Goals
In this packed episode, Alex, Erich, Evan, Corey, Tim, Jaimen and Randy braved the "drifty" 13 to 18-inch Hudson Valley snowfall to look back at a massive year of growth and look forward to what 2026 holds for the local scene. We officially crown our 2025 Players of the Year in the FPO and MPO divisions, recap both Nine Pin Cider Putting League Week 3 and Fence Road Farm Brewery Winter Putting League Week 1, and wrap things up with one of the most chaotic rounds of Disc or No Disc yet.
Key Takeaways & Highlights:
The 2025 Honor Roll: Using Justin Michelli’s multi-metric "weighted" spreadsheet, we reveal the FPO and MPO Players of the Year. Is it a consensus, or is there a debate?
2026 New Year’s Resolutions: From Alex’s road to AmWorlds to Tim’s quest for a "healthy" season and a backhand turnover, the guys lay out their quantifiable goals for the coming year.
Course Talk: Updates on the back nine at OKDGC, the Greg Kurtz "Workday" philosophy and Tim gets the spreadsheets he’s been waiting for.
The Big Quiz: A high-stakes "Disc or No Disc" featuring everything from mythology to the Halo franchise and a very specific demon from the movie Dogma.
Note: Nine Pin is taking a week off on February 2nd, but they'll add that week to the end of the season!
