2026 GRC Preview

About the Captains

Modz

3rd in GRC (27-15-1).
MVP in 2023
Never won as a captain
Will be swinging a golf club every day for the two months leading up to GRC. As always, can play be unbeatable with his consistency and newfound core exercises that is giving him more distance off the tee. Will be best match play pitting him against a well rested Kevin Quinn.

Muzzy

GRC record of 21-22
Captain award in 2018

When a captain, Muzzy moves it up a notch and the competitive edge comes out. Clear jump in play from Club Modz as he was clean with irons and drives for all sessions. As his teammates for 2026 will tell him - his most important job will be to keep Modz from drinking too much on the course or at night....

Quinn

4th overall in GRC (18-10-2)

Has never won MVP award
Predict Quinn to stay low-key but be completely prepared for 2026 to dominate every match he is in as well as get matchup edge with draft.

Richie

GRC record 14-21-7
Captain Award 2020

Only weakness is going too long on short chips... Clean swing, great putter, will always be in the top 2 for best dressed. Predicting breakout year for Richie and goal of living inside of Modz head will be achieved.

Consensus Best Draft Pick, captains will want first pick

Hates to lose, versatile for all formats, putts under pressure

Can play at level 3 or 13. Even number year, he will be in top 3

Trying to turn it around, has played horrid all spring

New job but not slowed down with GRC prep, again solid in all formats

Should be more comfortable in competition this year, on the up

One bad year scared everyone. Not injured, solid golfer

Generally never in trouble

Athletic Beebs will be driving to Freeport, should play loose

Has all the skills

One putt Pete is back, but some of these courses have dogleg lefts

Freeport is not Club Modz. Its Summer and Cowboys had a good off-season

Keeps improving, good at staying out of trouble

Speaking of Trouble

H2H with Trendel will be awesome. Ranked higher due to driving distance and 3wood

Despite last pick, still improving and hits some solid shots
