Good point! I swear I updated the page a month ago - but evidence suggests otherwise. I must have been drinking. Its updated now!

Thursday is Talking Stick
Friday is tentatively Wildfire (still working on price)
Saturday is TBD still, as other options fell through.

    Well Golfsquid and Hobbit will be there!

    Sadly we lost Kenk57 to cancer.
    Golfiggah to an injury (pretty sure he can't golf anymore)
    Travelcollins to other life pursuits
    Robbie - whereabouts unknown
    Spartan - quit for a while, are you golfing again?

        hobbit I play golf once a week (most weeks). I don't have the enthusiasm I once had. If I play, I enjoy it. If I don't, I'm okay with that too. Old Hickory burned me out.

          Nice to see Brandon ( Adams) added to the Memorial Cup.

          Thanks for doing that

            How does Lodging work now? Most, if not ALL of you, stay in a house I think. Do some, a few or all of you use the hotels?
            Looks like I am going to be there most certainly. I was just looking for the area of town I need to look into for a place to hang the hat for a few days. Wanna be close to the gang and close to courses. Probably get there on Tuesday and leave Sunday or Monday.

              We've been renting houses forever.

              Will be great to see you, been too many years

                Unless something stupid happens. I plan on being there Tuesday till monday..DO I need to tell the Hobbit..or whomever....I have not played any course out there in ages...pick some...I have never played the We-Ko-pa ones...I know they have been in heavy rotation in your games...maybe I play an unofficial DS round there.
                Next up is finding lodging...iis a big city...I have played 3 rounds in the last month.....zero in thr 16 months prior...

                  Moeman I'll count you in my man! Will be great to see you!

                    ALL - Some of the course options have fallen through. Other events, cannot get us out early enough, etc.
                    In order to not repeat from last year I'm looking at Grayhawk for Saturday. Any other options to consider before I do?

                    Southern Dunes had another event
                    Sterling Grove couldn't get us out until 10am, as the morning times are for members
                    Camelback was similar - Ambiente is a member course and Padre was the only morning option
                    Troon North and Las Sendas are pricing themselves awfully high
                    Kierland didn't return my email/call

                      hobbit

                      Sounds like you've been working hard.

                      Personally, I say don't knock yourself out.

                      The Verado courses are always great to play even though we have played them. Maybe we simply have to double up on the same course

                      lookout Mountain
                      Dinosaur Mountain
                      Raven
                      Boulders
                      Grayhawk
                      Sunridge Canyon
                      Papago ( apparently much improved)

                        Forgot to include...
                        Dinosaur - no early times
                        Sunridge is never open during September
                        Boulders, more expensive than Grayhawk
                        Raven and Verrado were last year - trying not to repeat

                        I'm just going to book Grayhawk I think.

                          hobbit

                          My "fam" isn't coming, just Weirfan

                          Is the list Missing Dwayne ?

                          Will contact The two Kevins, Jack, Customgolf etc to get their days

                            hobbit Question - do you snore?

                            Mrs. Moe says I do occasionally.. not very loud.
                            Usually when worn out to exhaustion.
                            No complaints from roommates on other golf trips.

                              I updated the first post several days ago, but wanted to post the rounds here for any that did not see it.

                              Its time to start telling me what rounds you're in for. Afternoon rounds are completely optional, as usual.
                              Thanks!
