Theodore TJ Forbes

Co-founder, soul of the group, one-time champion (2020 Port Charlotte at plus 6). Recruited Zair, Shawn, and Bryan. No long game to speak of. Scrambles his way to a decent score round after round and still finds a way to stay in the mix. One of the bigger trash talkers in the chat and produces a lot of the group's content. Coined the phrase Putting is not a problem. Author of the pre-tournament morning devotions that have become a Classic-week tradition. Known for threatening practice and rarely delivering.

Dave Not Nice Forbes

Joined through Dipset in January 2017. Two-time champion: 2019 Boca at minus 13 and 2022 Jacaranda Open playoff-hole win over Travis, the group's first ever tournament playoff. Recruited Travis into the group, the biggest recruit of his career. Known to the group as a waste man despite being one of the most decorated title-holders on the ledger. Almost always late to tee time and will never arrive without a Dunkin' Donuts cup in his hand. Frenemy with Dipset, rival to many, and capable of breaking out into floor-laughter at anyone in the group the second they duff a shot. Jamaican culture hype man, Miami Heat superfan, chronic dues latecomer. Namesake of BTD (Better Than Dave), the group's scoring benchmark unit.

Mike Osouna

Zair's neighbor and carpool partner, a second-generation TJ-line recruit. Soca music enthusiast with Zair. Dad with daughter's swim meet Saturday conflicts. Joined at a suspiciously low 13 handicap, now at 19.0 (group believes Tankgate was suspected and adjusted under badmind pressure). 2025 Atlanta debut was 9 of 10 stuck with Dave in the whites group, which kicked off the friendly rivalry with Dave that still runs through the chat today.

Steffen Dipset Lue

Founding-era member brought in by Jermaine. Recruited Dave, Lamar, Scottie, and his cousin Chase. One of the angriest golfers in the group when the round is sideways, and one of the strongest in the field once he locks in. Two heartbreaking 63-hole lead collapses (2023 Heritage Landing, 2024 Atlanta). Trophyless through 17 tournaments. Currently on a health and recovery journey. The group's emotional anchor for 2026: just being able to play four rounds is trophy worthy.
