Meet the participants

What can be said about Brian other than we are  humbled by his presence at this event every year! ;-)

​

All kidding aside, Reeves is the heartbeat of the Classic which has now hit 21 YEARS, wow.

Can I get an Amen AND a Code Blue?!​

We cannot thank Mr. Beads himself for herding cats each year, because it ain't easy dealing with 16 guys with ADHD.

The Classic continues to maintain incredibly high standards for golf and lodging thanks to Keith carving time out of his very busy work schedule to coordinate the RC.

​

Thank you Keither!

One of the Co-Founders of the Riva Classic. No one owns more putters or gets more daytime sleep than Chaker! 

​

Always good for a ton of laughs as well as a mouthful of Levi Garrett, Jimmy gets his hacks in each year at the Classic along with several Best Golfer Awards.

Chip Deklyn, another Co-Founder of the Riva Classic has the sweetest pick off move this side of the Mississippi.

The 3 things consistent about Dekes is his infectious laugh, sweet golf swing, and ability to eat everything in sight and not gain weight.

Mitch has yet to miss a Classic thanks to his very flexible "work" schedule.

A true artist and one of the most interesting men in the world, he's the only guy that spends more time on social media than Mader. 

Toe got married "again" in 2024 and has never looked better, just ask him.

His proudest accomplishment (other than publishing his book) was protecting Cappuccio in the lineup for 4 straight years.

The host of the 20th Riva Classic in St. Louis, MO. A proud Missourin, Dixie puts the fun meter in the red zone each year at the Classic.

Also one of the only guys to miss a flight and be happy about it after meeting that "asian fella" at the airport bar.

Mr. Re-Buy himself is one of the true greats, both in business and in life. One of the most hard working, humble, and genuine people we know and a great teammate on and off the field.

The only worry is "how many more years can his liver take this pounding at the RC?"

With more salt than pepper, DC is one guy at the bar a stranger would look at and not be worried about due to his size.

But don't let that fool you, he'd have you on the ground and tapping out within 4 seconds. Bob Ross himself would know not to mess with Darrell!

Rumor has it Mr. Ironman has spent more time running, on his bike and in the water than he has his golf game in 2025.

But no one grinds harder than JK on the golf course or at the dinner table. 

Pointing. Always pointing. Carmine brings an infectious amount of energy, stories and laughs to the RC each year.

No one would ever question his integrity, but we will continue to question his handicap!

Mr. Fireball himself introduced the Scramble format to the Classic as well as ensuring his entire foursome throws back 4-5 fireball nips per 9 holes. 

A true athlete and grinder, Clay is one guy you want on your team (unless you are sober, then you may want to steer clear!)

It's a wonder how Billy's son Clay became such an incredible golfer after watching his Dad play the past 20 years.

But there is NO ONE you'd want more in your cart, on your team, or on your side than Billy Jacobs.

Tough as Nails, Barnick was the guy you never want to play against and always want on your team. Gritty, tough, and started (and ended) the Pitt Brawl in 1991 during Baseball Week.

Stiffy has made two appearances at the Classic, only in New England and doesn't play golf. Stiff was an Ace on the mound and is always welcome at future events.

Ray is a true gentleman and always brings a level of positivity and enthusiasm to the Classic.

​

The only question is how many days will we see Ray this year?

Along with CB, Nuke is one of the best overall athletes in Rollins history. Only problem is he had like 18 babies and has been anchored to the great state of Minnesota for the past 15 years.

Lifetime Winner of the "DH" Award, we're always humbled by Mike's presence at the Classic.

Like a few others in our group, Mike found true love the second time around and we haven't seen much of him since. 

Thank you Coach for bringing us all together.

Talk about having some incredible intuition on how to build a team of men with different backgrounds, but had complimentary skills and most importantly similar core values in which we've built lifetime friendships.
