Well... If I can score an 87 at Pine Needles then I'm buying drinks for everyone!! 

..so @Yellow Ball - if you want to soak in a frosty mug of tasty brew instead of a yucky murky pond on the course then work *with* me bro

Since Pine Needles will be your second round of the day and probably the hardest course. I suggest you play a scramble with the three other guys in your group. 87 is in the bag then.  Thanks for the . Look how hard I had to work for that.

Duplicate post in about 4 renditions, something is not right - removed all the extras. 

Actual post is the next one - carry on your rambling scrolling...

And me. Don’t worry Bergmeister, I got your back.

I don't know what I just read @Berg Ryman but maybe a hard hat and flack vest if the group playing behind, to the side, heck even in front is playing a yellow ball.

Coming back to this conversation and trying to track where it’s at…so there is now room for 4 more players for Saturday and Sunday golf?  Or only for Saturday afternoon at Pine Needles?

I read the post as they were able to get more times at Pine Needles so everyone signing up (up to the 20) will all be playing the same courses and not the alternate Sat. afternoon course.   Obviously, @Golfspy_CG2 would be the one to be able to confirm

Have your plans changed and you might be able to attend?

Yeah, glimmer of hope emerging.  I graduate around 1pm on the 9th, and it’s my daughters birthday, so I would have to wait to get on the road Friday; I wouldn’t make it there until 2-3 in the morning on Saturday, but it’s possible.  Unless I’m completely misreading this, the golf is the 10th and 11th, right?

Wife is spending money left and right so I’m pouncing on the opportunity to ask…

Yep, golf is 10th and 11th.  

Hope you can work things out to make the event;  would be nice to have most everyone back together again.

Yes, that’s correct   All 20 times are on Pine Needles on Saturday afternoon   
 

For the Golf only inquiries  I won’t be able to confirm that until all stay/play requests are met

How many of you are getting antsy to get started? Are we going to see any side bets going on for this event?

[JohnSmalls]

I can't wait to get there, but there's a bunch of rust to shake off before June

I wouldn’t say I am antsy, just really looking forward to the event.   I have other things happening that will keep me occupied..hopefully heading down in a couple of weeks to visit my daughter for he colleges family weekend, Masters practice round (might sell these though), daughters graduation,  and then golf trip.

Currently indoor sessions of PGA HOPE locally Tuesday nights.

Beginning weekend after next PGA HOPE in Rochester area Saturday afternoons at Wildwood CC for 6 weeks.

April hopefully has an early start locally to outdoor golf.

May is the PGA HOPE Secretary's Cup and the PGA Championship at Oak Hill CC I'm a volunteer as a Standard Carrier, not swinging clubs but should be a great opportunity.  Also the WNY PGA HOPE session in May and June is at Niagara Frontier GC for 6 weeks.

So yes not antsy but excited!

Crap if you might come I better start taking the stairs at work.... if I can't outdrive you I better have better calves!  I've got an unearned reputation to fail to live up to!

You're all just lucky I am not coming down there with my calf game, I have no reputation and will keep it a mystery

[Getoffmylawn]

Sent Rob a quick question asking a "what if" regarding payment if my military orders throw me an unlikely curveball, but it looks like I'm 99.99% an "in" for this!  I'll let you all know once I'm registered...

[Getoffmylawn]

I'm in!  Just completed the registration.  SO excited I was able to sort this out.  Might be sleeping on the couch for a few nights; worth it.

Looking forward to seeing some spies again and meeting some others.  Most everyone, anyway...me when I meet @GolfSpy_BOS:

Glad you can make it. Looking forward to meeting you and everyone else. 

Who is who in the photo. Just asking because Mr.T looks like he is leaning in to give a wet kiss! If you are Mr. T then I will request to be in another condo. @Yellow Ball might be interested though.
