Northern Ohio (and maybe Michigan/Indiana) Get Together

Like many of you, I also preview the course to determine some form of strategery, but Arccos seems to be pretty bad at knowing which tee box is appropriate for the selected tees. If I select the white tees in Arccos, it still thinks we would be teeing off from the back tee box like the image @RollingGreens posted above. In reality, it seems there is a good chance the whites will be on the next box forward, potentially shaving up to around 20 yards off the shot.

Since inquiring minds want to know..... you can play blues, whites, bronze or the ladies tees or any combination . Note scorecard below shows combo holes and yardages. If you're playing combo tees and using GHIN be sure to select that option vs. CIC regular tees.

Those combo tees look like fun.

Oh, I think there'll be a few questions asked in the Pro Shop...maybe I should "bling" it up a bit just for the occasion!

Just don't bring one of those big knives you Aussies carry - I've seen Crocodile Dundee

Man, this looks like a blast! Y'all definitely don't have enough Wolverine blood down coming though...if my wife and I weren't on vacation that weekend I'd love to join. Have fun!

Guys, for those attending:

We no longer use different flag colors to denote pin location and instead use an app. The app - both for iphone and others is called ezlocator ePinsheet (free), I've included a couple of screen shots below: the first is from the apple store, the second is of the green/pin location you'll see, Note, the way to read this is: the green depth is 30 paces long (upper right number), the red lower left number is 3 paces from center, the the lower right number is 12 paces in from the front and 8 paces from the right. Hope all of that makes sense, if not I can give a quick overview when we meet. Also as an FYI, most of our newer carts have a usb port in case you have a battery issue

Here's a pic of the green on #9, a 160 yd par 3. Careful not to overshoot the green which will result in one of 2 things : a chip onto a sharp downhill green or worse yet the rock ledge will eat your ball. I sank a 6' downhill putt (white ball in the middle of the pic) for a bird today. Too bad the golf gods weren't as kind to me on the previous 8 holes.

Weather update - about perfect golf weather

[tony@CIC 15,278]

Couldn't ask for a better forecast. Let's just hope the wind isn't howling that day.

Updated forecast for the 12th. Couldn't ask for better temps. Our course is cart path only today, but 3 days of upcoming sunshine + wind should return it to normal conditions on Saturday. Hope the winds clock around to the northwest it'll make the course that much more challenging. 

[tony@CIC 15,278]

Forecast update: Hope the weather forecasters are correct - looks like it'll be a spectacular day for golf. Any chance of rain is not supposed to kick in til after 3. 

[tony@CIC 15,278]

The weather gods were kind for our outing. Weather leading up to our event was cold, windy and lots of rain, but it was the best golf weather ever for our event. Note: the rain came back Sunday morning and it's cart path only! I won't mention scores, especially mine, since my driver went missing on #7 and didn't reappear til #18. For those that did play well, especially from the blue tees, the US Open regionals  will be back here next May! Guys, thx for making the trip out here. And a special thx to my wife who was taking pix from our condo.

What a great day! These are the only pics I got.

Tony giving Alex some local knowledge.



Alex letting loose.



The gang!

[tony@CIC 15,278]

Great group photo! I can't wait for the next outing - wherever it may be. 

[Tsmithjr9 1,577]

It was such a gorgeous day with fantastic guys, even if the golf wasn't. Congrats to@Lakeeriegolfer for the low round and I can't wait for the next one!
