Subdiver1 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Played Saturday up here in WA. Weather turned out to be decent and had a good time. My tee game was off most of the day. Had one penalty drop off the tee but I got REALLY lucky on a couple of other bad tee shots. Bottom line, good company and not a bad round. cksurfdude and GolfSpy_SHARK 2 Quote Driver - Ping G400 9°, Project-X Evenflow Black 6.0S 65 gr.

Shank Aaron Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 What a day, what an experience. This was why I joined the VGA. This, right here. I got to play a US Open/PGA/Ryder Cup course with three of my closest friends. The experience was so good that not a single one of us cared about the scorecard. I can't imagine topping this. Golf side of the day, I couldn't really find the driver, but my putting and short game bailed me out all day. I ended the day tied for first in C Flight and lost the hardware by the scorecard aggregate. 87 here is a score I am absolutely not ashamed of. Tough, but fair. Rewarding, but quick to take you down a peg, or 5. You guys should seriously consider joining us in June. We're playing the best back-to-back in the North Region.

I had the chance to walk around that course once a few years ago as a spectator (got passes thru work to a Tour event) and your pics do not do justice to the scale of that course! The elevation changes, the trees, the bunkering (sometimes massive), the forced carries off the tee .. into narrowing fairways with lots of tall fescue alongside, .... Glad you got on it and heck yeah 87 is a super respectable number on the Black Unfortunately I had those old "prior commitments" yesterday but I did see on the schedule the one for June 15 at the Red course.

Shank Aaron Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 So, how's everyone been doing in events lately? State Championships are going off soon. Anyone planning to compete in any? I know NY State has opened theirs up to all comers regardless of status (IE- you haven't yet played in 3 events and established a VGA handicap) and has spots open for this Saturday (6/24) at Centennial GC- https://centennialgolf.com/. If you don't have the required three events you can still play, but your finish wont give you the auto entry to Regionals at Baltimore CC. PA has theirs July 24 at Hanover CC- https://www.hanovercc.com/. New Jersey has one going off July 25 at Black Oak CC- https://www.blackoakgolfclub.com/. cksurfdude and GolfSpy_SHARK 2 Quote Shank's Tentative 2024 WITB O.B.

Rosey31 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I joined earlier this year along after 2 buddies, both veterans, joined. I joined as a family member and just need one more event to get my VGA handicap. These events have been enjoyable and we are trying to grow the number of events on the gulf coast here in Florida. Most of the events are on the east coast.

VGA MA State Director Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 @Rosey31 pumped that you joined the VGA! I'm the VGA State Director for Massachusetts. Membership continues to grow nationally which is awesome. The growth also enables us to add additional Assistant State Directors. This is critical especially in geographically larger states like Florida. Ideally we establish Assistant State Directors with geographic coverage across the state to ensure that events are available for all members that are relatively easy to access! cksurfdude and GolfSpy_SHARK 2 Quote Testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VGA MA State Director Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 The VGA MA,RI,CT, ME, VT and NH held their regional championship yesterday at Pawtucket Country Club. A couple of flight winners had to be decided via a 1 hole playoff. From all accounts, competitors had a great time at an awesome tournament venue. If you're interested in joining the Veteran Golfers Association, please don't hesistate to reach out to me or the state director in your area. We've got a good wrap around season scheduled here in MA too! GolfSpy_SHARK, cksurfdude, GolfSpy_BOS and 2 others 4 1 Quote Testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear you're having a good time. Best of luck this weekend, and second to @Lacassem's advice, "have fun;" It is a key. Took me a couple of rounds (okay seasons) to get into a groove, but next weekend I'm headed to Regionals (where I am sure I'll fall flat on my face, but will have fun doing it), so all it takes is a bit of remembering to that, "have fun" and it will all come together.

Most often it boils down to that little bit of self pressure we put on ourselves that throws us in the well. Just like you said, getting out of your own head is the best medicine for that. @Lacassem nailed it. Just have fun with it.
