I've been talking with @iacas about the possibility of doing a group lesson at Golf Evolution in Erie, PA. 

We were talking about getting together in the AM on October 9th. 

We could do the lesson at Golf Evolution. We can kind of schedule it however we like as long as we are done by 1PM so Erik can head out of there to coach his college team. 

I know I'll be working on my game a lot this off season, so this would be a great time for me to get another lesson in. We can flesh out the details as we go. But for now I'm just trying to gauge interest. Anyone else interested? 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Pretty sure I can make it as I’ll be staying in western NY longer than originally planned.

So, I got into a car accident last week which totaled my car (have a few scratches on my arm but no other injuries otherwise thankfully) so at this point, I'm a maybe because I have to figure out my car situation before committing to anything.

I've been really busy, too, and haven't done anything golf related in a month, either so there's that, too. :-(

I’ll probably spend the night near Erie (in my van!) and would be interested in playing in the afternoon, weather permitting. I’ll play solo if needed, but would love to play with others doing the lesson if there’s interest.

I've blogged about my wanderings since 2003. I love roaming throughout the USA looking for remote public golf courses to play.

Glad you are okay, brother. 

Perhaps this is the chance to get back into golf related activity?

I'd be interested as well. Although it's been my experience that playing right after a lesson can be ... what's the word? ... interesting?

Thanks, bro!  Yeah, not necessarily a bad motivator.

Well now, if ppl are playing then i might rent a car if i don't have one to get the lesson and go play!😂

You could also consider hitch-hiking?

I'll need to check schedule more but my interest is peaked.  I have @ 4 1/2 hour drive and would not spend the night in my SUV.  @Chris Brooks you can share a room with me if I do come.  I would only come with the anticipation of playing a round in the afternoon.  Just too long a drive for only a lesson (although I am sure it would be a great lesson).   As for golfing after a lesson, at least we would be with others in the same boat.

At least not as bold as golfing with the instructor!

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.

    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
