3 vs. Fre●AN ANNUAL INJUSTICE

THE UNOFFICIAL HOME OF 3 VS. FRE

A tradition
unlike
anything fair.

Three friends. One Frede. All that golf talent, and somehow his biggest contribution is being the face on the losing-team merchandise.

01 / THE FORMAT

Strength
in numbers.

Jason is actually really good at golf.
We have chosen to address this
by being three people.

Every year, we tee it up against our friend Jason Frede. Three of us. One of him. We’ve won the last several years, and handled it with exactly the level of humility you’d expect from people who bought this domain.

THE FRIENDS3Golfers. Allegedly.

THE FREDE1Talent. No backup.

Equal opportunity to participate. Unequal number of participants.

02 / THE EVIDENCE

For the record.

Jason has a nice swing.
We have the trophy photos.

The trips, the trophy, the very questionable souvenirs. Jason, you could have stopped answering our texts years ago. We’re glad you didn’t.

Years reflect the photo archive, with corrections from the guys who were there.

03 / PSYCHOLOGICAL EQUIPMENT

All the gear.
None of the shame.

Towels. Koozies. Golf balls. Jason’s face has been on everything except a convincing argument that he won.

Scan a golf ball. Visit an entire website about Jason losing. Most people let the scorecard do the talking. We bought a domain because the scorecard wasn’t being enough of a dick.

04 / THE RULES COMMITTEE

We’ve reviewed
your complaint.

Jason, we’ve heard your concerns. Unfortunately, the three people responsible are also the three people reviewing them.

OFFICIAL RULING No. 001
“The format is fair. The vote was 3–1.”

Further objections may be used as merchandise.

IN ALL SERIOUSNESS (BRIEFLY)

Great golfer.
Better friend.
Terrible odds.

Love you, Frede. Same time next year. Bring nobody.
