2024 Pre-Draft

Welcome to the 2024 GCCGL season! The draft has been scheduled and we will be doing a LIVE DRAFT on Thursday, March 28 at 5:30 PM at Mac’s Pizza in Highland Heights, KY (full address: 42 Martha Layne Collins Blvd, Cold Spring, KY).  C players will be drafting this year!  Everyone is encouraged to attend, but the C’s must be present.  Or in Cletus’ case, he must call his picks in because he is having some old person surgery or some shit like that.  I don’t know, it’s hard to keep up with the old man.  Don’t worry…he’s fine, so we can make fun of him. 

Now the moment everyone has been waiting for.  The 2024 C players drafting and their draft order are below:

Below are some initial draft stats to get everyone familiar with the 2024 GCCGL members.  Obviously, everyone will want to do deeper analysis to determine who is a good “fit” on their team.  Or you can take the strategy I did in my only championship in 12 years – who fits your team’s beer drinking style?

As George stated in his first blog post – we have a lot of new members in 2024.  Personally, I’m excited for some new blood in a league that was established almost 30 years ago!  If I may, let me give you a few pieces of advice for enjoying the wonderful world of the GCCGL:

• Remember, this is a beer drinking golf league first. Yes, we add a level of competition that really does keep this league fun for everyone.  All people of all skill levels are invited to play and it truly keeps it entertaining.  Certain weeks, you may hear a member shoot a gross score of -1 or -2.  At the same time, you can see someone turn in a score of 71 for 9 holes on US Open week.  My point is this – don’t take the league or yourself too seriously.
• Get familiar with the website. Weekly updates, the MOW (Match of the Week) and other random stuff will be posted on GCCGL.com throughout the 2024 season.  In addition, if you want to really get an understating of what this league is about read some of the old posts.  You might not know the cast of characters involved, but you’ll get an idea of the shenanigans that go on week in and week out.
• Cletus will not shut-up in your back swing.
• Your golf style – yes…the clothing you wear – will be judged. And judged ruthlessly.  George has the worst.
• You will get a nickname and you probably won’t like it.
• All questions about your handicap should be sent to Jason Nill (aka Cupcake). Fair warning – you won’t get the answers you want and you will never feel like your handicap is correct.

Fairways and greens my friends!
