The captains settled the hat question the only way that made sense — on the course. Eight players made the trip out to Loggers Trail Golf Course for the annual pre-trip captains round, with hat color selection for GT26 on the line.

Jeremy G. and Kyle F. shared low honors at 78, but Jeremy's was the one that mattered — Vessie came in at 84, handing Jeremy first pick. He went green. That means Team Jeremy wears green hats in Brainerd, while Team Vessie suits up in white.

The skins game had a familiar name at the top. Dustin K. (81) ran away with three skins on the day, with Jeremy and Mark V. (80) each taking one. Not a bad warm-up for a guy who's going to need every edge he can get playing for the other team.
