For those going to Erie for the Oct. 9th Group Lesson, @dennyjones& I were going to try to golf Whispering Woods on Saturday afternoon however the course is closed that day for a large outing.  We may be able to golf on Friday but I have not spoken to @dennyjonesabout that yet as our travel time is @ 4.5 to 5.5 hours and not sure about doing 18 holes after so much time in a car.  We could also look for a different course to play on Saturday.  Comments & Thoughts are welcomed.

They tied my favorite team, the Mariners, for most wins in a season.  116.  Though the Cubs did it in 154 games.  Which is the same number of off topic posts I've made over the summer...

Green Meadow and Downing look like options for Saturday - I haven’t called to check.

Downing is a better course than Green Meadows.

Depending on the direction y'all are going I could recommend courses east or west, too.

@dennyjones& I are coming from Michigan so West of Erie is easiest but I do not have a problem with East or South either.  I do think any courses North of Erie might be too much water for me, I do not think I could clear Lake Erie with even my best tee shot.

Little Mountain is barely off 90. Good course. Solid.

West of Erie.

@dennyjonesand I have a 1:40pm Tee Time as Whispering Woods on Friday Oct. 8th.  We have room for 2 more in our foursome, these will be 1st come 1st serve.  Just post to this thread and I will see them.  They did have a 1:50 available if we need another tee time.

Also, We are staying at the Avalon in Erie, across the street from Golf Evolution and got a room, double occupancy, for $149 per night.  If any need a room give them a call and mention Golf Evolution, that did it for us.  

We are still open for a round on Saturday afternoon.  @iacasmention Little Mountain which is closer to Cleveland (@ 1 hr. 15 minute drive from Erie).  I'd do that but think closer to Erie would be better since we have the lessons until 1pm.  We have the option to stay another night in Erie if that helps accommodate a round of golf on Saturday closer to Erie.  

 

Also, we are up for dinner/drinks on Friday night for any of you that are in town.

Cost will probably be a little more than the normal hourly rate since you'll all be getting a decent amount more than what you get in a normal lesson.

I think we'll set that at $100. Normal rate for 45-minute lessons for me is $80, so $100 for five hours of "time" at Golf Evolution seems okay.

Cash is preferred, but checks are fine, PayPal is fine, credit cards are okay if they're not really thick (our Square reader is older).

Oh and regardless of the times posted, show up at 8am, that's fine. Spend the whole five hours there, please.

I’ll join this foursome - my timing is flexible and this will allow me to drive back east after the lesson on Saturday. Will join you for dinner on Friday as well. My wife / sometime caddy might also join. Thanks for arranging @StuM!

Just to confirm and not overbook the tee, your wife would be caddy only, or would she golf? Either is fine.

She won’t be playing - at the most walking with me. If she even comes out to Erie with me! 🤷‍♂️ 

Sorry for the confusion.

    • Day 126: another busy day, so just did some mirror work. Checking set up and backswing and working on a few downswing feels. 
    • Day 310 - Working on my follow-through. Higher chest, belt towards the target. Small swings at first, building to a fuller swing (still not thrilled with my short backswing).
    • Day 201 (19 Nov 24) - Walked the back nine at Minnesott today, played the “white” tees with the persimmon woods and bladed irons.  It’s a challenge I really like as the clubs are shorter in overall distances.  It really forces me focus on the value of the approach game.     Somehow yesterday’s post did not load / so it’s above.  Today (Day 202) I did some backyard short yardage work - 7i dink  and rolls, 9i chips and 50deg pitches - working to get it in before the rain started around noon. 
    • Day 51 - 2024-11-20 Played nine holes of Sanctuary Moon with a 6I while pausing in the backswing and otherwise just practicing. If you're into Star Wars, or don't actively hate it… this is worth checking out.
