I'm not sure I qualify, but if you're including ALL of PA, I guess I'm in. I'm in the chimney part of PA, of course.

Wikipedia counts Virginia to ny. Everywhere I looked seems to have a different idea of what mid Atlantic is.

When I log in to my aaa.com account, it routes automatically me to midatlantic.aaa.com.  Those are my credentials for joining.

I'd have been certain that VA is included in "mid-atlantic" but e-how sites the Census bureau as defining only as New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.  (http://www.ehow.com/info_8124434_states-midatlantic-states.html)

So it looks like PA is the only state that everyone agrees in Mid-Atlantic?  So Erik, in the chimney part of PA, about 400 miles from the Atlantic, is more legit than most of us.

Actually, if you google-image search "mid-atlantic" you'll find maps showing NY to MD, PA to VA, and MD to GA.  One even just shows Iceland, but I think that's something else.

Welcome to the forum!

I've been down to Charlottesville a couple of times for softball tournaments at UVA.  Its a beautiful place and we always had a blast.  Except for the drive.  It was MUCH further from DC than I expected.

Wellcome @CallawayJ !

Your post made me think of something that might interest you and some others here.

I am a member of a USGA governed club that is not associated with any particular course--I guess you could call it an online golf club.  There is a larger DC area club, but some of us created an offshoot a couple years ago because the larger club had hundreds of members and maybe only a dozen people that would show up.  Its really just a group of guys that get together once a month at courses around the area, mostly northern Virginia.  I think the dues are $25 a year, which just goes towards trophies for the "majors" and you have to get a subscription to ushandicap.com which costs about the same.

If anyone here is interested in joining the club, send me a PM and I'll introduce you to the guys who are running the show.

Staunton, VA here. Looking for new people to play with. My friends are broke

next time I head out to Moorefield to play with my pal, I'll let you know  and you can slip over...takes me 90 min to get there from here, but worth the drive....

      Playing With Irons

      By iacas ·

      Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
