We're a close-knit group of friends brought together by shared memories spanning childhood playgrounds, high school hallways, college dorms, and the years beyond. Our bonds were forged through life's journey—from backyard adventures to graduation milestones to navigating adulthood together. What started as individual friendships across different chapters of life has grown into something special: an annual golf tradition that unites us every year since 2023, where old stories meet new memories on the green. Though we met in different ways and at different times, our enduring friendship is the strongest testament to the connections that truly last.

Every year, our group converges from across the Southwest—San Diego's coastal breeze, Houston's humid sprawl, and Phoenix's desert heat couldn't keep us apart. Though hundreds of miles separate our daily lives, the annual flight, drive, or carpool to our golf destination has become as much a ritual as the tournament itself. From coordinating time zones to comparing travel delays, the pilgrimage from our scattered cities is part of what makes this tradition special. The moment we all arrive, those geographic divides dissolve, and it's like we've never been apart—just friends picking up where we left off, ready to create another year of memories on the course.
