Would any of you guys be interested in a little get together for some golf? I was thinking 2-3 groups. Maybe Ferry Point or if one of our members would be able to host that many groups at their course that would be cool as well. It would have to be on a weekday since it would be easier to get on. Please feel free to throw up some ideas. I would like to try and get something done in September or October.

Anyone else in that area I am missing?

Let us know, maybe we can get something done through our club for two groups. Not sure if they’d let us do three because would result in unaccompanied guests.

Side note, Fix and I aren’t available 9/23.

If I can fit it with work absolutely.

    Can you guys give me some ideas of where it would be possible to play? I think fall golf on the east coast is the best time to play.

      dphatt I guess it would be helpful to see how far people are willing to drive and figure out a middle point within that radius.

      I am in Westchester NY. Willing to drive 120-150 miles. I have never played Ferry Point, waiting for the course to mature and it probably has at this point. Ballyowen is one of the top rated in NJ. Architects is a fun track but I don’t know what the conditions are like lately as it has been a few seasons.

      I can also inquire with some of the courses about setting up the block of times as a “mini outing” to help move this along if we can create a list of courses.

      1- Ferry Point
      2- Ballyowen
      3- Architects

          One thing we might have to be wary of is many courses aerate in the weeks after Labor Day so September has the potential to be a sh!t show for conditions.

            Tend to wait, at least locally, until the tourism dies down and the number of daily rounds falls off.

            As far as I’m aware, the best courses in Minnesota don’t aerate. They Needle Tine often.

            Would love to coordinate a group out to Minnesota next year.

            Up in Northern Jersey I know a lot of the clubs here just punched this last week for what it’s worth. Also Pound Ridge would be very high on my list of recommendations

              In CT and totally in. Happy to host some people as well at my club, though need to see the size of the group before committing

              dphatt I once went on a trip to the shore one summer and without looking at actual drive times and only mileage said yes to 3 rounds. Asbury Park to New Haven then back, next morning Asbury to Pelham in the city and back in 4pm NYC traffic, and last Asbury to Egg Harbor and back. Well worth the long drives and hikes!! Even better memories because the majority of the guys I played with are on this forum!!!

                dphatt Mine starting school means my first trip starts on Saturday-Sunday and then Kansas on October 1-4, before Tennessee in November. Slow to start the year so gotta finish strong.
