buckpillar reacted to GolfSpy SAM in 2024 My Golf Spy Annual Forum Outing-Kingsmill Resort
Watching the Amex today, having been in Palm Springs only two weeks ago, is kind of surreal. I LOVED playing out of the dormant rough - not just because it was a LOT less penalizing than typical rough, but because it was genuinely beautiful and something I don't get to see all that often. Watching these guys just go fairway/green/repeat is something I didn't QUITE do, lol, but it's still got me thinking all about Kingsmill. Completely different kind of test, but man I'm excited to see those courses and to get to meet everyone.
Based on pictures/videos, I'm going to be hitting a LOT of 3-irons to avoid the nasty stuff left/right/center 😉
Anyone know if there's a virtual-reality version of Kingsmill anywhere? Can you play it on any of the sim software? That would be rad.

So I have been doing a thousand other things, but this is still something I am stupid excited for.
It is going to be a crazy 2 months with going to Sweden end of April, coming home then off to Paris for a few day, then my family comes to visit for a few weeks before I go to the outing and then come home and start work again! Might as well just keep a bag packed for a while!

Good Morning MyGolfSpy Nation!!
The day is going to be overcast, with rain and possible snow in the forecast, bug change from the summer like weather last week. Finishing up work in a hour, my company did not have any issues keeping the Super Bowl attendants connected to their texting and and other phone services while at the game.
Going to go crash for a few hours sleep, then back at it tonight.
Have a great day everyone!!

Prepping the Hot sausage, with sauce, pepper and onions, Nacho's, and my special dip which is very easy to create and you use Frito corn chip scoops for the dipper.
Hoping that the Chiefs win, cause I don't want the 49ers to get another ring inching closer to the Steelers Ring total.
The Dip --- The meatier the better
1 1/2 to 2lb ground beef, cooked , salt and pepper to taste
1- Can of Bold MANWICH Sloppy Joe sauce
1 Jar of Tostitos Queso Cheese dip
After cooking the beef add the Manwich, simmer for a few minutes and then add the entire Jar of Queso.
Enjoy!!
Even though I'll be working during the Super Bowl, helping, keeping everyone connected at the game I'll be tailgating !!!

I don't want to replace the white hot face.. no way.
Making the White hot insert molded with the milled texture.. the white hot already has a texture on it even though not much. I was just thinking if it would make a difference if the white hot insert was formed in the way the milled is surfaced.

Pristine from Parking lot, pro shop, first tee to final putt with great customer service, atmosphere is a exceptional quality some places that charge more but don't bring the service when others charge less and make you feel as if you've been there for years. BTW... good food and drink.

I have a family friend through my uncle that lives a 5 minute walk to the 1st tee at Carnoustie.

First time I ever payed $100 or more for a round of golf was a long time ago when Nemacolin Woodlands Resort opened Mystic Rock (later home of the 84 Lumber Classic) Shot 74 and had a great time. Very nice and long.
Their links course was better in my opinion, made you use every club in the bag and overall a real still for under $50, but I think they ruined it when the remodeled it a few years ago and changed the name to Shepard's Rock. nice but not worth the money now a days. Both Pete Dye designs.
It would be a possible place for a future MGS member outing
