The place we stayed out was just awesome and the views spectacular. The river course is in great condition. The lakes course is not bad either but had some places where the condition was less than ideal. @cnosil and I talked about it briefly after Sunday's round. @Jmikecpa is still trying to figure out what kind of grass they used just right off the fairway. It swallowed all but the top of your ball, LOL In fairness I was not trying to figure out the grass just how to play out of it. Thanks to this trip I now know how to play off of a patch of moss that makes you feel like you are standing on quicksand.

Seemed and felt like a whole lot more but I brought down four dozen and came home with three dozen (not counting the Most Golf Balls Lost prize I "won" and one sleeve of MaxFli I gave to Barry to try out at his home course). --- Separately... you guys missed out a great amenity of the clubhouse - the shower! Man did that feel good after play on Sunday .. which felt more humid to me vs Saturday .. that plus clean, dry clothes before getting into the car for the drive home (which wasn't all too bad, actually - 5 1/2 hours with only bad traffic thru one expected stretch and includes two short pit stops and one extended break just to get out of the car for a while). mikeanthony, cnosil, MDGolfHacker and 4 others 7 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ...

Man did that feel good after play on Sunday .. which felt more humid to me vs Saturday .. that plus clean, dry clothes before getting into the car for the drive home (which wasn't all too bad, actually - 5 1/2 hours with only bad traffic thru one expected stretch and includes two short pit stops and one extended break just to get out of the car for a while). Ha. Cool. I wondered if anyone made use of the shower. But felt it was an odd question to ask.

If the drive is decent in the NE area I may drive to that as well. Wow that looks nice, queens town was actually closer for me than one in PA. I went up for the Ohio outing I think 4 years ago. It might be even have been their first one, maybe 2nd. We only played one round but went out for some extraordinary pizza afterwards.

GolfSpy AFG Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 So, perhaps it’s time I offer my own quick summary/synopsis of this past outing. Much has already been said so I won’t regurgitate everything, but it’s not an understatement to say it was truly a phenomenal weekend. So, if you’re like me, a concern you might have in the back of your mind is “I know these guys, but only online, so I don’t actually know them at all and this could turn out to be no fun at all.” I can tell you it took almost no time for the whole crew to hit it off like old friends, which in a weird 21st century kinda way, we are. It was great food (thank you Tom and Jeff), great company, great golf, great shenanigans (playing closest to the pin on our own backyard par 3 was a blast)….GREAT weekend. And as a guy who struggled mightily on the course, I can tell you…nobody cares. Of course we all want to play well, but getting hung up on your scores is easy to avoid when you’re among great company. I truly hope this, and more events like it, continue and pop up across spy country. ** EDIT: Oh, and one other thing, @cnosilhas totally been sandbagging all of us on his calves game! Calves like Phil, and he doesn’t run, lift…in his words “I don’t do anything” yet he’s never said a word about it hear on the forum! ** Rickp, MDGolfHacker, GolfSpy BOS and 6 others 3 4 2 Quote Driver: TSR2, Ventus Blue 6 S, 65g Stiff FW: TSR2 3w, 15, Ventus Blue 7 S, 70g Stiff Hybrids: Apex Pro 3H, Ventus Blue 8 S, 80g Stiff Stealth DHY 4H, Ventus Blue 8 S, 80g Stiff Irons: SMS 5-6, SMS Pro 7-PW, Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff Wedges: SM9 48 F Grind, 52 F Grind, 56 M Grind, Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff Putter: Sri-Hot 5K Triple Wide, Stroke Lab shaft Ball: Pro V1 Click here for my HONMA TR20 Official Review!
