What started out as an innocent round on March 28th, 2004 has grown into something much more........
Month 83 - Glenwood Golf Club - 1/31/2011
As the streak has gone on, there has been some close calls, but none as much as the January 2011 round. Weather was awful again all month in Pittsburgh and the Northeast also got snow so Baltimore was not an option. The final weekend of the month, Quat had 2 birthday parties and to top it off he got sick. The 2 decided that the best option would be to leave late on 1/30 and drive to Baltimore, stay in a hotel and get up early and drive south. The duo left at 9:45 and as they drove on the turnpike, cops started to drive by and then Quat's phone rang. A frantic call from his mom to advise that an accident had occured on the turnpike and involved a fatality. She was relived that we answered and moments later, Billy Nuttall text Nutt the same thing. Stuck in a 3 hour dead stop in New Stanton, the trip to Baltimore was not realistic so they decided to forge ahead after the police directed them to turn around on the pike (see picture). After driving through the Laurel Highlands, West Virginia, Maryland and Virgina, they arrived in Frederickburg, VA at 6 AM. They headed south to Richmond and went to Providence Golf Club only to find that it was closed since it was too cold. Nutt and Quat started to google all local course and found one open, Glenwood Golf Club. They headed over to this course and after a GPS error that took them through the projects, the 2 were ready to tee off. Quat was getting work calls and they sped through the round and were done by 11:15 AM. They headed back, stopped in Fredericksbug, VA to hit up a Waffle House and back to Pittsburgh. Quat dropped off Nutt at 5:30 and we were home and safe with zero sleep and the streak moves on... RIP to the man on the Turnpike, Doug Roberts
