The Horsetooth Social Club emerged in March 2020 as COVID was interfering with my ability to travel to see friends in person. Not happy with the situation (and in need of a challenge) I decided to connect three things enjoy: friends and family, hobbies, and learning new skills. We started playing poker online with a video feed and, for a couple hours, connected, relaxed, competed, hung out, talked sh*t, and checked-in on each others lives, all from a couch. Even now, as we start 2023, it has made a difference in my mental health to be able to connect with friends and family on a regular basis.
As for the name, I wanted something that connected us. Many of us met in Fort Collins and likely climbed Horsetooth Rock at one point and so, "Horsetooth Sports & Social Club" was born.
The page itself will likely be perpetually under construction as I learn new skills or try new things. My hope is our group can do things we enjoy together: friendly wagers on sports, fantasy sports, golf trips, March Madness, college football bowl games, and home poker games. I am always up for a challenge, so let me know if you have ideas for the site of a game we can all play, I am probably going to be down to try it out. Contact me at: brian.obert@gmail.com
