Just weeks after being ruled ineligible for Quaich 2024 after suffering a full proximal hamstring avulsion on the ski slopes of Steamboat, Chris "Guvna" Hughes has received doctor's clearance to travel to Scotland next month.

Reports out of Austin, Texas are that Guvna is completely committed to being physically ready to play for Team USA in June. His physical therapy regimen is especially intense, yet Guvna has not missed a single session with his therapist. “I have never seen someone so motivated,” said Maddie Knutson, age 31, Guvna’s physical therapist. “Chris has been coming in daily for assisted hamstring isometrics and glute compression treatments.” 

Guvna’s teammates are guarded about his return to play. 

 “Guvna’s being f**king selfish and not thinking about the team,” said one longtime Team USA member who asked to remain anonymous. 

“There is no f**king way he plays to his 8.5 handicap on one leg.” “If he’s not 100%,” said another unidentified member of Team USA, “I’m not playing with him.” 

“If he gets a cart, I’ll partner with him for every round,” said James “Sheets” Moreland. 

Quaich fans everywhere are searching the Internet for hints of Guvna’s physical condition. Paparazzi captured grainy video footage of Guvna on the range at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa in Austin last week. This is the first known video of Guvna since his catastrophic skiing accident in March. Guvna is seen wearing a compression sock on his left leg in the video, which is meant to stimulate blood flow to the injured area. Quaich fans can now judge his fitness for competitive play for themselves. 


On his own Instagram account, Guvna shared a disturbingly close up video of his weighted hamstring curl routine. The Quaich is set to begin in one month in Inverness, Scotland.
