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

            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.

                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!

                      Might need to sell a kidney but in for all ( as long as you are Rick šŸ˜‰ )

                        The Mrs and I are in for all morning rounds.

                        She's NOT playing the afternoon excursions.

                        I will play as many of those as my Old Azz is capable of....

                        I'm in for all morning rounds, but am like Al, I'll lhave to let the bones tell me about the afternoons.

                        I am in for ALL morning rounds.
                        Afternoon.. want to.... been way tooo long since i even remember a 36 hole day.
                        Might be a Thursday and Saturday thing.. I love desert golf.

                        I am in on a Wednesday round as well. Different thread, I know.

                        Iā€™m in for all morning rounds and I will do 36 holes on Thursday at Talking Stick.

                        I'm in for the morning rounds. Maybe an afternoon one depending how I feel. If anyone is planning pre official desert storm rounds I'm probably up for those as well just let me know. See everyone in few months šŸ™‚

                          Hey Vinnie,
                          I'm getting in around noon on Saturday the 2nd and hoping to play that early afternoon. Thinking Raven or Papago. I've reached out to James ( Customgolf) and Jack so maybe you can round out the 4-some....will touch base in a few weeks
