2024 My Golf Spy Outing-Initial Discussion Update

[Englhard]

Excited to hear more details, I hope I can join!

[Josh Parker]

Looking forward to finding out location. May have the wife talked into letting me go depending on more details.

Anybody looked into Pursell farms? I may have missed it through all the posts.

That one hasn’t been named yet, but the videos on YouTube look awesome, especially that par 3 that is like hitting off a mountain side

I gotta go find a piggy bank!

Really looking forward to this. Golf trips are the best!

These trips are addicting, or at least habit forming, once you start going to them you cannot imagine not being at the next one.  Would like to see more members both gentlemen and the ladies, and the youngsters who have already been a part of the experience and fit in well.  A parent should be aware that the majority of us will be without youngsters and the tendency is for adult conversation in my experience, though the group was mindful and considerate.  That said, if my 22yo son was to accompany me I would be proud to have him come along for the experience.  My $0.02

@Jwc5149, i think he is talking about you .   
 

But I will second what Derek is saying, the trips are fun and it is nice to meet the people you interact with on the forum.  @MDGolfHacker, reminds me of the conversation we were having with the group in the house next to ours  at the MD outing.  They asked if we were all friends and my response was I think so but we all just met each other yesterday

Start planning to attend now,  mention it to the SO/SWMBO, start putting your pennies in the piggy bank,  basically do what you need to do to add this to your must do list.

While a neophyte to the “ meet up’s “, I am sure a large amount of research goes into the logistics, planning, and other caveats for these trips. I apologize for asking so many questions…but here goes..
   I thought I may have asked this question before but may not have been as precise as needed…. Is there more than one national “meet up’s”? If there are more regional “meet up’s” are they limited to just to those in the region? 
  Again apologies for asking what maybe known facts to others. Also, thanks to all, who are putting in the time and effort needed to make these  “ meet up’s “ possible.

The various meetups have been fairly regional in nature.  I think there has been some in the PNW, FL, and Ohio regions as well as the three mid Atlantic ones.  There hasn’t been any limitation on who attends any outing.  The last mid Atlantic one at Pinehurst had people from outside the mid Atlantic region; I think as far as Denver?  All that is needed is someone to do the legwork and set things up, which is easier said than done.   Lots of people say they are interested and will attend until the money needs to be collected. 
 

that said, the Maryland and Pinehurst outings have been a little more “official”  than the others.  I only say that because MGS provided some giveaways for the attendees and they have been multiple day events.

I was thinking about offering to organize a Midwest meet up after the details of this one get announced. I'll share what I'm thinking later so as not to compete with this event.

I know @cnosil did a pretty good job of answering your question about multiple "meet ups"  But I'll add my thoughts.

What I (as the designated planner of the "official" events envision.

I think "meetups" organized by any member in their local area for guys in that area or anyone that wants to travel to that area are great, and are highly encouraged by me and all the staff.  I mean anytime you can get together with a guys you know and guys you will be meeting for the first time, it's awesome

As for the two previous "official" events, our hope is to grow those to where they get larger attendance, and offer some things of value in addition to golf.  What those things are will vary and hoepfully evolve over time. 

I'm actually surprised with the sharp eyed members we have here, that no one caught or called out the part of my previous posts where I said the 1st outing of 2024   I said that on purpose as while plans have not yet been announced for anything yet, our hope is to have 2 events in 2024 and possibly grow from there.   But that's all down the road, plans for this event are still in the making and as I have said a few times, we hope to have some info soon.

More than one…. Please.

Did I already say "I'm in!" yet..? Well I'm in!!

Getting prepped... Started chiropractic and acupuncture for the old back, and got into a regular exercise routine. 

[Preeway]

That's awesome. I have a feeling attending the first one may be a stretch due to timing with my trip to OR in early June but I would definitely do whatever it takes to make the second!

Hmmmmmmm MGS Outing sounds interesting!

Can’t wait for the details to get shared to find out if I can make it. 

[Dead Solid Bogey]

Anxiously awaiting the time frame and location. Have already made a huge prepayment in extortion to be able to go to one “ Meet Up “. Please, by all that is considered holy, no “ Meet Ups “  in  April, especially April 27th thur April 29th.
