Riskiest Goal: Rolling and balancing in some way (Big Randy

) Big, this one caught me off guard! I'm moved by your self-proclaimed "rage against getting older," which is a great mantra to live by. Just please don't get hurt. It sounds like you're committed to rollerblading, which would be both a thrill and delight to see you zooming past some Gen Alphas at a skating rink. 

 After a year of pure survival, it's only fair that Soly introduces a little more self-care in his life. I hope it's the trip of a lifetime.

Unless it's a LEGIT emergency, make Friday yours! Commit to your boundaries, and auto-reject those Friday invites.

 The war against tabs wages on, and I appreciate TC's unwillingness to surrender. But new threats have emerged: Subscriptions and apparel. I expect you to pop out with a new aesthetic, like Randy. 

"I'll Be Disappointed If You Don't Achieve This" Goal: Simulating a PAT (Playing Ability Test) (D.J.)

Most Ambitious Goal: Tommy Fleetwood winning a major (TC)

 Listen, I'd be pretty content with that Tour Championship dub if I were you, TC. That lowkey felt like a major!

The No Laying Up collective chops it up with a wide variety of guests from all corners of the golf world, and more importantly, guests from the golf-adjacent world.
