Guys, 

We're only a week and a half away. So please reconfirm. Also I am arranging for lunch - please send me your sandwich preference; turkey, ham or veggie. I need to get this back from you in the next couple of days.

 

 

Turkey for me.

Is it too soon for you to start with the weather forecasts? 

[MaxEntropy]

And ham for Mike

[MattF]

Veggie for me please.

Weather forecasts will begin this weekend.  I'm hoping for lots of wind to give you that true 'Links' experience (note: I'll have my ball retriever with me).

Wish I could make it but the wife already had an event planned on the 15th.

[Brookers]

Ugh, 3 hrs 20min for me to get there, don't have enough wife clout currently for an overnight ...  Have fun everyone.

I'm sure there will be another event before the year is out in the Cleveland area. 

[DiscipleofPenick]

Turkey for both Tim & myself. Thanks Tony!

Matt I think you just started a new thread - marital advice.

Yea, like this is ever going to happen at a PNW Meet-up .  Nice touch!

T-minus 10 days.... Who's getting excited?

I'm just hoping to NOT have my worst round of the year there like I did last year, but who knows.

Maybe this year we will remember to post more pictures of the action?

Might be a terrible day for me. Last 6 weeks have been the worst golf for me - if the clubs weren't so expensive they'd be floating (or sinking) in one of the ponds. On the other hand it can only get better (I hope). 

FYI we're all set with 7 Spies attending and potentially one other @CWilson216 As usual my wife will be taking group photos on the #1 green, However, I expect everyone else will be taking photos. First tee time 10:30, second 10:40, remember the course is spread out including the driving range and practice holes (in different directions). 

Weather updates with be coming out shortly , but I expect sunny and warm with lots of wind. 

[DiscipleofPenick]

Sounds good, see you next weekend!

Me thinks someone is softening up the field... a little "rope-a-dope" in play here perhaps?   Looking forward to seeing pics.  Have fun spies!!

I would never sandbag 

[MattF]

Looking forward to it. I don't know if I'll be rested after a week in Florida with Chanin.
