Also, we set our clocks back that night. So everyone gets an extra hour of sleep! So, trust but verify that your alarms will go off at the right time.

I haven’t, yet. I’ll do it later.

I'm working in Richmond all week, just a coincidence.  I'm going to come home friday, play with Bill on saturday, and drive back down.  I'm staying at a Marriott Courtyard, I think it's just around the corner from the Hampton inn.

My wife and I will be staying there also. She will be sightseeing at Colonial Williamsburg while the rest of us are golfing.

Have her visit Merchant's Square near Willam and Mary.

Her plan is to park about a block south of there, and yes, shopping will be involved.

Have fun, wish I was there hanging out with you all.  I hope the course is better maintained now then when I last and only time I played there.

They put $2M into it before it reopened last year so I’m expecting it will be. 🙂

Yes, rain can do it's thing on if leading up to days of soaking on any course but outside of that  I have two friends that played here in September who said it is phenomenal shape. 

I have played here quite a bit in the last few years and couldn't be more excited to go back after the reno.👍

I played there in August and it was in good shape.  Really liked the course. 

If you're staying in Richmond, some of the best IPAs you can find outside of New England at The Veil.

The Veil is great, Vasen is another great one.

Play well in the matches, who are you up against?

[iacas]

Here's my first (final?) stab at groupings:

Saturday @ Bedford Springs, 11:00:

1. @iacas
2. @Slim_Pivot
3. @Divot Master

Saturday @ Bedford Springs, 11:10:

1. @Hardspoon
2. @Hardspoon's genetic near-equivalent
3. @saevel25

Sunday @ Royal New Kent, 9:00:

1. @DaveP043
2. @DaveP043's better half
3. @saevel25
4. @Divot Master

Sunday @ Royal New Kent, 9:10

1. @iacas
2. @woodzie264
3. @Hardspoon
4. @billchao

Sunday @ Royal New Kent, 9:20

1. @GolfLug
2. Wife of @GolfLug (non-playing)
3. @davechen
4. Offspring of @davechen

I've invited a guest, but he's unlikely to be able to play. However, if he's able to play, then CBS and FOX are going to flex @billchao to the 9:20 group. This is also true if the non-playing person (wife of @GolfLug) opts not to see the sights.
