It was great meeting you and enjoyed sitting and chatting for a while on Saturday.   While hanging out with everyone is enjoyable,  getting to talk to people one on one or as part of the foresome allowed us to be able to get to know each person a little bit better.  Looking forward to the next outing

And I also agree that Wegman's is > Food Lion as are many other grocery stores.   

@Berg Ryman Throwing my hometown Wegmans into this group thread is certainly the content I come here to read 🤣

 

I hope to participate in this next year

I was just thinking of Wegmans history with roots in your hometown Rochester started in 1916 as a family owned produce market.  It took years to grow as far west as Buffalo because of direct competition with Buffalo HQd TOPS Markets pushing out in all directions.   My experience Wegmans always had feeling of going to a friends place to shop where getting there was where I wanted to be and they had what I wanted at home.   Big contrast with every other market with their heavy commercial 'buy it because "Hey Mikey, He Likes It" or whatever the slogan was' like a culture trying to convince that is what "everyone" wants.  Wegmans is still 100% family with generations invested in the venture and they put their reputation in their products and service because it is their family name and pride.  Their employees lead the American workforce in satisfaction and the company initiatives for employee education and growth generate loyalty.  Customers see this and what American would not support an Entrepreneurs making communities better?  Their branded products are chosen (by Wegmans family) as best value and if anything fails to meet expectations, the customer is refunded, no questions asked.  I will be first to state I have no knowledge of the corporate history of Food Lion, Krogers, or the others but until I move out of the Wegmans footprint I am not buying from anyone else, but a stop at Aldi is due as their similar family roots in Essen have a similar atmosphere in every one of the stores I've visited in countless states and 6 countries.  

GOLF!  Hope everyone had a chance to try the Wegmans Breakfast blend and Colombian coffees, blueberry scones, and chocolate chip cookies I brought, besides @Berg Ryman of course and thanks for the compliment!  Looking to get our Western and Central NYrs talking about the day-trip opportunities within a couple hours drive for anyone, possibly less.  Might even be something to put a team together to take on the Mid-Atlantic crowd for match play.

This was Saturday morning before half of Chester Cottage was up for the day.  I would do this trip again for another experience at Queenstown Harbor and a chance to see more of the area.  Next time I am definitely making a mini-vacation out of it as I have never been in that part of the east coast before 🤔

Another full size panorama 120* this time.

I worked at Oak Hill CC when Mr. Wegman (the old man) was a member and would play occasionally.  He was no BS one of the most grounded and humble wealthy men in the Club. On one occasion there was a MG event where they ran out of the favorable roofed-electric carts.  He called ahead to reserve one and upon learning none were left, another member whose name will be withheld threw a massive tantrum in the golf service center area.  I am talking jumping up and down screaming because he did not want a gasoline cart without a roof.  Mr. Wegman saw this and said go ahead, give it to that guy.  I will never forget that…assuaging that cheap crybaby offered a wonderful laugh to the OHCC Golf Staff and 24 years later, is still memorable.

His son in contrast is not his father.  When Mr. Wegman was alive, he scolded Danny for bringing his Ferrari to the flagship Pittsford store…something along the lines of get that GD car the F out of here.

 

Love it, great story!

Yeah two days and two nights almost seemed too short! Didn't get to interact as much, with as many different people, as would have liked. And besides - Day 3 of golf just might've been the "3rd time's a charm" for my game... 😉😄😂

Forgot to mention a big plus about the course facilities...

This place has one of the nicer, if not the nicest, short game practice area that I've seen so far!

One very large chipping green with extra room outside of it on all sides; another smaller chipping green that's a little flatter; one of the largest putting greens I've seen with plenty of different slopes around it and lots of little flags all over; and a generously sized hitting range (mats) with plenty of large, full buckets of range balls sitting out.

Nice!

This can be a bad thing though; not mentioning any names…. @Getoffmylawn…..but you might hit too many, get tired, and start shanking shots during your fitting 🤣   On the positive side, it might help you hit the ball better during your next round.

 @cksurfdude.  I only wish I had taken more advantage of the practice area!  My game could of used a bit more fine tuning on the range.

haha right? I needed the time in the morning for stretching, back roller, a little yoga. And coffee!

Related - I was happy to be able to drive down, play 18 two days in a row, drive back and not feel too too terrible after!

Damn, so much for “what happens in Queenstown stays in Queenstown.”

But, all true.  Lesson for all other spies:  if you want a quality fitting, probably best not to show up an hour early, spend the last 30 minutes of that hour beating fairway woods DeChambeau style, then show up to your fitting panting and drenched in sweat!  🤣🤣

In my defense, I beat balls for another hour AFTER the fitting too, and while I didn’t play all that well the next day, the shanks were gone.

You didn’t need to hit balls for hours to sweat let’s be honest you just had to walk outside

Putting practice well that left a lot to be desired. No golf shoes, or sneakers no respect. Sandals and flip flops = stinky feet to the open air. And that where my air is 2” off the ground.

Hmmm maybe that's why you turned half blue out there ...

If I had Jim look at my swing earlier I would have joined as well to get the swing changes underway to keep them from creeping in on Sunday.

Just an FYI for those following along who were not a part of the outing; here are the scorecards and layouts of each course ...

Both are great courses .. a variety of holes and challenges. Personally, imo, I felt the River had a little better layout / flow.

Lakes was great, but .. with the caveat that you need to fit the holes & routing into the real estate you have available, they did a nice job but it seemed a little chopped up / sectioned off to me; eg. you'd play three or four holes then drive a few minutes with to the next section, and so on...

But again both are definitely worth playing for anyone in the area, or thinking of traveling to there.

And if you find a sad, homeless yellow ball in the weeds or the reeds, please pick him up and give him some TLC.. 🤣

So the pevailing thought among locals about the two courses.  The River is by far the attraction and better of the two courees.  But that said, if the River didn't exist and you only knew of the Lakes course, you would think it's a damn fine course and worthy of play.    

I guess it's the Jan to Marsha 😉

LOL...I was going to say that you have to be of a certain age to get that one.  AndI thought about the Ginger or Maryanne, but come on we all know it would be Mary Anne in a landslide!

Maybe for the younger guys...the river vs lakes is like Rachel to Monica 🙂

There's definitely a lot of eye candy on the Rivers course with the Chester River in many of the backgrounds that frame the holes. Jan to Marsha is a great description!  I did like the lakes course

Man, if this is where we are as a society where a Brady Bunch or Gilligan's Island reference goes undetected... I'm not sure about the survival of this way of life boys.
