I like how Gabe just pops up out of nowhere to contribute.

Henroid

Gabe's all dressed up in his regulation golf outfit.

Doomneto

Haven't they gone golfing together in the past?

i believe Tycho was caddying

as displayed by his lack of golf getup

Evermourn

A bit weak. Reads like they knocked it out in a commercial break.

Has Jamie been featured in a comic before?

I was wondering about that, too. At first I thought it was Annarchy. And then I felt really old.

I just assumed Jerry participated in the golf thing too. Just go up there and have fun with it. Like, Happy Gilmore all your shots or something.

Darkewolfe

I thought it was a redesign of one of their wives.

Who is Jamie?

She's a PA Staff person. Organizes events like the charity dinner, and I assume the golf tourney.

Eusix

I was half-convinced that this comic was a different artist. Doesn't quite have their usual polish.

Fleur de Alys

The Gabe-face earned a smile, at least. Also, welcome to the strip Jamie.

DCAarmus

Golf strips always make me excited to see another appearance of Hector, Gabe's hapless, elderly caddy.

The line quality of the strip indicates it was drawn on the Surface instead of the Cintiq. Hopefully Mike figures out how to achieve the same painterly effects on the Surface that he can achieve on larger tablets so it will feel like less of a compromise.

i thought the shame hole was just a car outside for Strippers?

and by that i mean Strip Search contestants

Gaslight

I hope the shame hole car has an appropriate vanity license plate.

I guess SHAME HOLE might be too many characters, don't know what the limit is in Washington state.

SHMHOLE.

SHAMHOL.

SHMEHOL.

KalTorak

At this point Tycho has probably had too many experiences with the big dog, and its eating tendencies.

Darkewolfe

God please let some Hector appear.

I wish I was near Seattle. I would absolutely, positively play in the charity tournament.

I want that hoodie.

Uh uh, her gaggy gave that to her.

New plan: Penny Arcade keeps expanding their actual business operations. Then they relaunch the entire comic as a meta-comic about the staff that operates the business. They can take over PvP, liquidate all the PvP comic book staff, and replace them with the comic personas that inhabit the actual PA offices.

It has a face on it .. I wonder if it was intentional.

Quid

Gabe shares my encouragement techniques.

Jerry hit a bad shot I guess:

Jerry via Twitter wrote:

I just son of a bitched it into the mofo.

Looks like Khoo and his ringer were neck and neck with Mike's team. Not sure who won.

Edit: Looks like Khoo finally beat Mike.

Yea, seriously. You shouldn't make a comic with cool Merch that doesn't exist, especially when it's for a charity! I tried to go find/buy one (Women's large please). Didn't exist.
me<----bummed
So I had to create a forum account just to tell ya.

Eat it You Nasty Pig.

son of a bitched it into the mofo sounds like a good shot, to me

I came here just looking for some results info so this was helpful. I had to leave the tourney early for an appointment so I was hungry to know who won. Anybody have any insight onto further details like Longest drive winner, etc?

Hi Forum! I'm with you on the sweatshirt. I told Brian - he made a face at me and said "Sweatshirts are expensive".

The winner of the side bet this year was Robert! His team went -4, Mike's ended up at -2. I think Jerry ended up around +12. No PA people actually placed in the top 3 teams OR made Longest Drive/Closest to the pin. The finals were:

1st: 18A with a score of 62. Elenbaas, Mann, Knapp and Richards.
2nd: 6A with a score of 64. McDonald, Kostol, Hanson, Choi
3rd: 1A with a score of 67. Benson, Bolt, Gilloolyu, Onetoo

Closest to Pin and Longest Drive both came from 6A - Choi was within 5'5" of the hole, Kostol drove 340 yards.

Next year we're adding a best dressed team competition, because there was some pretty fabulous argyle this year.

Hey Emi. None of the PA staff were in the top three. Team 6A (I think that was the number, my husband's team) took 2nd, One of their members was longest drive winner, another one of their members was closest to the pin. Sorry I can't remember all the numbers of the teams, anyone else?

Is there a thread for the Invitational?
