Ohio Spies 2023 Meet Ups


DiscipleofPenick

Recommended Posts

Hi y'all! So it's been awhile since we've all been able to get together and play, and I want that to change this year. I'd like to try and plan a meet up at least once a month from May through October. Doesn't have to be anything fancy or a deal worked out with the a club. Let's just get out and play some good courses. If you can make it great, if not we'll catch you next time. There's tons of great golf all over the state. I know the Cleveland guys, and I know we have a few in the Columbus area too. Also if there are any spies in the surrounding states, you are also welcome to make the drive. Let's have some fun!

@MaxEntropy @MattF @RollingGreens @tony@CIC @Mr_Theoo @OHCelt @kardboard.kid @Siamese Moose @brutal brutus @stuka44

Feel free to tag anyone I missed (I just looked up people on the community map)

I should be able to make it happen this year. I need to show off my new swing to the Boyd’s since the first time we got together. The 40 yard slice now more. Working in the baby draws!

I still need to play over there. I'm a member at Legendary, might have to meet up for a round sometime...

In Northern Ohio Good Friday/Masters Weekend is generally considered 'Opening Day'. But in the last few years, we can sometimes start in mid-March if we had a mild winter. USGA has our scoring season as April-October. But same thing on the other end, I can usually find a way to play till Thanksgiving or into early December, I would think Southern Ohio has a bit longer season than us, but still needs to shut down for the deep winter months?

The problem for Northern Ohio is we have a clay base under the topsoil, so it takes a long time for anything to drain and firm up. So we can start playing in March/April but it doesn't really become golf until mid-May. Like the course I called home the last few years, they had several low spots that wouldn't drain until Memorial day and not firm up for a few more weeks. There are a handful of courses that are lucky enough to have a sand base, and they will generally be open year round, if there's no snow on the ground.

The league I am in runs from clock change to clock change*. Early season and late season can be a little iffy with the weather, but at least we are golfing.

*We will have to see what happens if/when the House decides to do away with daylight savings time (Senate has already passed) as the time change has always seemed like a somewhat natural start/stop point.

I haven’t posted anything in a long time but seen this today.  I live outside of the Columbus area in Newark.  I’d be interested in playing also.   I’ll make sure I get on this more and check it out.  

I enjoy Trout Club over there. Quite a few good tracks in that area.

Glad to hear someone got out. I'll be stuck on the sim for another month at least. We've had some better days here, but it rains too much, Everything would plug in the muck. No fun.

I don't mean to get ahead of this, but what do people think about kicking things off here? It's Lagrange Ohio, southwest of Cleveland in Lorain county. Designed by Robert von Hagge.

It was surprising dry for the most part at Legendary Run on the front9, I'm sure the hillier back9 is probably swampy in many places though...

Hi all! Just starting to kick the tires as the season is more or less upon us. I've been getting emails from courses that are going to open in the next week or so.

Anyway, who is interested in an April meetup? I know conditions can be sketchy cause of rain, so if no one is up for it, we can just plan on May and go from there.
