Funny, I do that every year for the 2nd week of June....and every year I say I'm not going to do it anymore, but I keepdoing it.

I do it all the time for our local group for local outings here in MD. We have a core group of 8 to 12 who usually get the big group together about once a month, and it usually falls on me to get it going.   But it's just tee times and dates.   No lodging or travel to worry about.   But even getting 12 guys to agree on a date locally is almost impossible.

I'm all for either helping or taking the lead on planning a trip to World Woods.   At this time, if i were to do it and hope to attend it as well, Spring would be the most likely time, like Mid March to Mid April?    But that's just my thoughts, if another time of year works best for the majority, we can go with that and I'll still assist in the planning. 

 

One thing I know from experience is we will never find a date/location/course that pleases everybody, so it has to generally come down to going with what the majority who commit to it say works.

 

A good friend of mine has a saying, "if you ever see that you have too many friends, just plan a golf trip for 24, that'll fix the problem"   HA

 

 

Preach it brother!  :D

Yea I have put together a few of these gatherings and after my last one, I don't plan to be in the coordinator position again.  Maybe a small let's run up to the mountains or beach kind of shindig but nothing formal.

If anyone is in the Waco area there's a bunch of nice courses around here to try. Just let me know and I'll certainly hit the course with y'all anytime!

I looked up and reviewed World Woods and liked what I read. I'd enjoy the two courses as both look pretty good. The place also has good practices facilities.

They did a nice job posting the videos of each hole for the Pine Barrens course. Unfortunately the Rolling Oaks course videos were incomplete. Green fees are reasonable too.

If I was looking for a weekend meet-up and lived in the area/region (+- 250-300 miles) I'd certainly give it serious consideration. Sadly, the trip for me would be a little much for a weekend beat-it-around. +1,300 miles.  :unsure:

Wow! Hard to believe it's that far between the two places.

 

I haven't heard any negative comments from this place and I agree with an earlier poster that said it's nice that it's kind of in the middle of nowhere.

That was last February when I played with Rev and Foz at Bayou.  So much for heading south for the winter.  It was warmer here at home that day!!

I've had those moments. A few years ago in Myrtle it was 40 degrees and raining and I was on the golf course. I couldn't feel my arms or legs and was trying to golf. It was brutal.

Anything can always happen weather wise. The nicest weather times in Florida are mid October to mid December and mid March to mid May. Very little rain and quite temperate. High 70's in the day, 60 at night.

 

You get two weeks a year that are cold (relatively speaking). Kenny picked one but the exception doesn't negate the rule. There is a far greater chance that you will have a great day for Golf in Florida in February than in Washington or Oregon. There's also a 70 percent chance that a 7 point favorite in football will win. No doubt one will lose today.

 

If you decide to come to World Woods I would like to come up and play with your group one day. The only kicked would be mid-April is Holy Week. That would eliminate me.

 

The practice facility is the best you've ever seen.

SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft

Srixon ZX5 MK II  5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex

India 52,56 (60 pending)  UST recoil 75's R flex  

Evon roll ER 5 32 inches

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

I've been a fan of Virginia golf both in quality and price. I love the area around Williamsburg with Golden Horshoe then the Kingsmill Resort. Some other good tracks there too.

 

The other side of the state has Dye Club at VT with amazing views right along the river.

 

Then there are bucket listers like Bandon Dunes and RTJ golf trail.

 

California has some good and cheap courses too between LA and San Diego. For the cross country flight I'd definitely want to play Torrey Pines as the feature course.

 

I always try and stay up on the Top 100 and Top 100 public courses lists for anything new and possibly nearby where I'm traveling.
