Well, I'm still in.
It was touch and go there for just a bit. But I have the greatest wife in the world who helped me make sure I'm still in on this adventure. 

So, here's my checklist.

  • I'm available
  • I'm completely healthy (Fully Vaccinated, plus I got a flu shot for this year already.) 💪
  • I have a hotel for Friday Night
  • I have golf clubs
  • I have cash to cover both the round on Friday night and the lessons on Saturday
  • Eric won't be board, as I have plenty to work on
  • The only thing I need now is some descent weather Friday afternoon

What could possibly go wrong?

You realize your question will bring about change?!     TV shows usually ask that question and then all hell breaks loose.  I'm not saying we're going to blame you for anything but it's an option!  😂

I'm looking forward to the trip. We'll see you at the course Friday afternoon!

Eating more than @RFKFREAK isn't the problem. Functioning after eating that much is another story all together.

So I have a soccer game Friday at 6:30. So, what I think the schedule Friday might be is…

1:35 - I'll watch you guys play some golf.
6:35 - I'll go play some soccer, you guys return to freshen up, whatever.
7:45 - I'll meet you at Outback, if you can tolerate sitting next to a guy who just played soccer. 😄

Alternatively:

1:35 - I'll watch you guys play some golf.
6:35 - You guys go wherever the heck you want to eat, I play soccer, and I see you the next morning.

Either is good by me.

If we have time, I'd come watch.  I'm a soccer fan.    We'll meet you at 7:45.    Looking forward to it.

Ha ha. 😄 I think we can do call-ahead, but Erie is a sleepy town, so they'll probably not need it at that time.

Glad to hear.  I also had a scare today.  Wife called @ noon and was very sick and Dr. wanted COVID test.  Her & I both came back negative for not Covid & Flu and I have a friend stopping by tomorrow & Sat. To make sure she is OK.  Thus I am packed & ready.

Haha! Second witness here. It happened.

Thanks @iacasfor your patience and organized approach to teaching all of us. I took lots of notes and expect to get out and practice more today. Good weather ahead all week here in NY so no excuse to not work for it.

Great meeting everyone! I would absolutely return.

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

And YES, it was worth it.  I feel we should look at doing this again, maybe in the spring?

    • 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.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • 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.
