Yep. I've been here two years and it's honestly the best group of members and the best run forum of them all. No drama or trolling around here.

 

Lotsof guys have come over from the other places. Our local contingent here is growing.

That is good, missed the old group when we were having outings at Mattaponi, Renditions, etc.

 

I joined a club out here (Silverstone) which went downhill and later closed and been a member of Paiute ever since. Don't have a steady group to play with, just a couple of guys I work with, play more with my wife and enjoy it more with her. Kids get out of school on 24th so we'll have early rounds together while they play their video games.

Sounds like it's time for a DMV trip to Vegas

 

Great to have you aboard Golfin. I'm sad we didn't hook up while you were in town. But then again, I wasn't even playing golf 10 years ago.

Yep. Golfinnova/Vegas was around when we used to have regular monthly outings with usually at least 12 guys coming out.

 

MDGolfhacker took the lead in planning alot of them, we called him our Julie McCoy (you may have to Google that one Stud). He also took great photos then as well. He'd show up looking like a photographer, covering the Masters. Then he went and had kids and I took over some of the organizing. Good memories. Mainly because I was younger and could hit more than 210 yards. Ha

Lol, that is so true about MdGolfHacker. He would do such a great job in organizing the outings. That is something that I miss the most out here because it doesn't exist being a 24-hour town.

 

I'm trying to organize a summer league with my co-workers where we would play different courses but it will never get to the 12+ person outings we had back then. Every now and then I play the Vegas Golf Tour which is a cool relaxed par +3 max league and a Meetup group.

Yep. We've yet to have more than a foursome of Spies together. But I'm bound and determined to make that happen this year.

 

There's been some good talk about some small get-togethers. So we'll see how it goes.

Hey there DMV golfers, Golfinvegas (formerly Golfinnova) John checking in, just brousing and came across some familiar names.

 

Glad to see the DMV thread and find my friends from the old GC forums. Played a lot of rounds with GolfSpy Rob, MdGolfHacker and TheWahoo, great set of guys.

 

Hard to believe it's already been 10 years since we left Ashburn for the bright lights of Vegas. Good thing is I get to play year round but I get so busy with life that I haven't played as much as I would like.

 

If anyone is making the trip out here anytime soon and looking for a discount at Paiute, give me a shout and I'll hook you up.

 

Have a good one!

 

 

Looong time buddy!  How's it going ?? Might have to plan a trip out to Vegas :D

It is great to see your post, my friend, it brings back some great memories of our days years ago.   Back during my younger single days, my buds and I would hit Vegas at least 3 to 4 times a year.  However, back then the Tropicana was at one end of the strip and the Sahara at the other, the Dunes was still across the street from the MGM, now Balleys.   My last trip to Vegas was for an educational conference a few years ago.   Because I was with some physicians, I was able to parasite them for a comp to Shadow Creek.   I often wondered what it would be like if there were casinos back home.  Now that they are, I have never been in one--time and age changes you, my friend, time and age changes you.   Perhaps, some would call it maturity.

Going good bud, glad to hear from you. Anytime you want to come out, let me know and bring your sticks. I can hook you up on discounts on rooms at either mine or wife's casino and rounds at Paiute.

Good to hear from you friend. Miss the days of riding together and you cracking jokes while making sick short game shots.

 

Shadow Creek has been one course I haven't played yet; although, it will happen one day probably once kids get out of school and I'm not paying astronomical fees for soccer clubs.

Greetings all, just getting used to my new work arrangements which include home almost every evening, but further away from Golf Spy Rob and GSStud...and no access to MGS during the workday. However getting a few moments each evening to check in and catch up. Looking forward to some wedge testing and some DMV outings this summer,

Forecast is iffy for Saturday.  But who cares. 

 

I'm thinking of treating myself to a Birthday round somewhere that I haven't played in a while.    Among the thoughts for courses are:

 

Queenstown

Renditions

Waverly Woods

Worthington Manor

Maryland National

 

 

Anyone else interested/available...I'm open to other suggestions as well if that works out better for anyone.

I'll answer for him, since he's off grid during the days.   He's still living in the same place, and now working out of HQ instead of staying up here 3 to 4 nights a week like he did all last year.

Queenstown is a haul if you are trying to get back for dinner not knowing what Bay bridge traffic would be like. I'd say Worthington Manor. It's been ages since you've played that! Wish I could join you but we do a pub crawl for Preakness in Annapolis and I'm flying in late the night before.

I think a 9:00 time at QT would have us finished at 2:00'ish.  And home by 3:00 or 3:30 at the latest, plenty of time for a 6:30 or 7:00 dinner.   *I may be a year older, but not ready for the Blue Plate special yet  :D

 

But any on that list would be fun to play.

Hi all, I'm located in Southern Maryland. I have been golfing for way to long to still be this bad lol. My Dad started me around 11 but I didn't really fall for the game until 23. I have 5 children 4 boys and 1 girl. Yes my house is loud and quite entertaining. Oldest is 14 and the youngest is 2. I have been lucky enough to golf all over the world thanks to the military. I look forward to hitting the links with y'all.

Hello from college park, MD. GO Terps! Though i spend a ton of weekends in the VA beach area ( in -laws ). I'm Fritz, only been playing 5 years now, and decided to stop the club ho-ING this year, and work on my game. I'm always up for a round preferably during the week. Would love to meet some more folks in the area that play!

Welcome to the forum and the local group as well Fritz.   Glad to have you.

 

If you can ever make it up to Compass Pointe during the week, let me know and I'd be happy to take you out for a round, I to have vowed to slow down the club ho'ing this summer (I know that just got a big belly laugh from the gallery here..ha) especially with a big fitting on the horizon.  

 

Hope to meet you son, we have a pretty active group here as you may have read.

Welcome to the forum, I can easily say that you will play with a group of good guys. Everybody is easy going and it doesn't matter if you're scratch or a 36-handicap.

I totally agree with you.   Personally, I can also add that the guys are kind to "old coots" as well.    So if there are any seasoned golfers contemplating joining the DMV group, most assuredly, do so.   The "young bucks"  of the DMV are great people.

So I know you guys in the DMV have been saturated with a ton of rain but did anyone get out yesterday?

 

I played for the first time in a month playing Angel Park Palm course, driving was good, fairway wood and hybrids were hit and miss. Greens were so bumpy that putting couldn't be much. Kids last day of school is Thursday so more golf to be played.

Not yesterday. I got out today mostly just for on course practice. Skipped around a bit on one of our courses that was closed for an outing and I hit it after they were finished.

 

More rain tomorrow it appears 🤬
