@billchao and @boogielicious are looking to come to Erie for their GEARS sessions in early May, and we'd like to do an outing before the sessions (or maybe after their first if they come on Saturday) on Sunday, May 1.

Location TBD, but possibly anywhere from Cleveland to Akron to Pittsburgh to Buffalo to right here in Erie, PA. If it's Sunday, the Saturday could be a good time for a get-together of some sort, too.

Subscribe (follow) this topic, and add your name to the list of people who are interested at this point. We'll worry about more firm commitments later on.

Interested List:

  1. @iacas
  2. @billchao
  3. @boogielicious

I'll tag @Hardspoon, @BradSomrak, @saevel25, @ChetlovesMer, @Carl3, @Divot Master, @klineka, @georgep, @RFKFREAK, @Braivo, @Slim_Pivot, @Slice of Life… and I'll text a few others, too.

Yeah, leave me on the list, but it's going to be a challenge. 
I'm heading to Vegas the last week of March AND the last week of April. 

Not sure how much time away from the family for Golf the boss will allow. 

But I'm always up for golf and socializing. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

You should tell her your friends from across the country are coming to visit and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Some courses for consideration:

  • Oak Tree, north of Pittsburgh.
  • Sanctuary, Akron.
  • Ellsworth Meadows, Akron.
  • Gleneagles, Akron.
  • Others? Throw 'em out here. Let's plan this thing soon.

Also… @Braivo? @BradSomrak? @Divot Master? Any others…?

Sanctuary is a great course. I haven't played any of the others. 

If anybody wants to hate themselves, the Quarry in Canton is another good one...

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
