Why do the guys in SoCal, with their 80* Februaries get all the fun? I know we've got some members from the Mid-Atlantic region, how about an April (or late March) outing?  The snow should melt by then, right?

How about it @inthehole @bjwestner @hack1981 @River Hill @Seahawk @CallawayJ @Mr3Wiggle @jsgolfer @RH31 @kregan @terp2007 @cliffj @davedove ?

I think there are a bunch of members in the DC Metro Area.  Maybe someplace like Lake Presidential, Raspberry Falls, or something closer to PA folk, such as Glen Mills, Gettysburg?  We'll have to see who is interested and where everybody is before we pick a location.

I'll likely have to take a trip or two to Delaware before early June, so I'll keep this thread in mind. If it's close enough I might be able to make it.

Based on the early responses, perhaps some of these courses would be most convenient:1757 (Dulles); Westfields (Clifton/Centerville); Raspberry Falls (Leesburg)

Some other possibilities:

North: Bulle Rock (Harve de Grace); Maryland National (Middleton); Whiskey Creek (Ijamsville); P.B. Dye (Ijamsville); Blue Mash (Olney); Glen Mills (PA/DE border, near Wilmington);

East: Lake Presidential (Upper Marlboro)

South:  ?? I don't really know that area

This is just based on the responses thus far.  If anyone is interested in playing but finds these courses inconvenient, don't shy away.

Some possible dates:

April 5-6

April 12-13

April 26-27

May 10-11

May 17-18

Little Bennett in Clarksburg, MD is a favorite of mine much better than PB Dye.

Whiskey Creek is really good as well.  Worthington Manor is the same exit as Whiskey Creek, and just as good,  just the opposite direction and is actually closer to 270.

Glen Mills (PA/DE border, near Wilmington); and Bulle Rock are probably a little out of my travel distance to play.

Timbers at Troy in Elkridge MD is pretty good too.  Waverly Woods in Ellicott City, MD used to be nice, haven't played there in 10 years.

Laurel Hill, Lorton, VA is really nice, they just held the 2013 Public Links Championship there

I like Little Bennett as well.  I've heard great things about Worthington Mannor and Laurel Hill and would love to try them both.

April12-19 is our county school spring break, so those weekends don't work for me.

I've only heard of Laurel Hill, because it's maintained by the Fairfax County Park Authority, who maintains the Twin Lakes complex where I often play. People at Twin Lakes often speak with high regard of the course. Here's their link: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/golf/lhgc/

Okay...I'll keep my eye on this one because I am from that area. I am thinking DC metro as well, or within an hour (Tee Hee, like you get anywhere around there in an hour)  God knows I can use a break from Ohio! Last course I played around there was Bull Run GC, Haymarket, VA, which is a sister course to Raspberry falls in Leesburg, VA.

Bull Run is nice. Old Hickory down in Woodbridge is nice too, and it's also a sister course to Raspberry and Bull Run. Lake Presdential is also on the Raspberry trail.

If it's on a weekend, I'd consider driving down from Albany NY to play. My really good friend lives in northern VA so might be able to stay with him and see if he wanted to play.

You might also want to check out the New England one. It depends on where we play, but it'll probably be much closer. http://thesandtrap.com/t/72404/tst-new-england-spring-summer-2014-outing/0_30

I think it's a "group" thread. All you have to do is join the group then you can post in there. :)

    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
