If it's Akron/Cleveland, I MIGHT be able to swing it. 

Moving to a new house and we get the keys on the 29th (Also my birthday...yay...), so I'm going to be swamped. I'll follow this and see what materializes.

July 30th.... just guessing....

I have not played anywhere near enough golf since April. 
So, I really want to do this. 

Is it too soon to change my interested into a hard "yes"?

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Since we are at 9, a possible 10. I was thinking of setting up 3 tee times. 

If we wanted to keep it near Cleveland. I was looking at these three, two from Erik's list and another one I found. 

Little Mountain (Painesville, OH)
Manakiki (east of Cleveland)
Fowler's Mill (east of Cleveland)

I'm not sure I've heard great things about Fowler's Mill this year.

But, I could be wrong.

Also, I feel like we've done a lot in Ohio, and not many in PA (and never in NY). Now, we have a few more OH people than PA or NY, too…

Of the three you listed, I'd vote for Manakiki.

That’s true, the last few have been in Ohio. 

which ones, of the ones you listed, do you recommend in PA? I have not played any of them before?

Well, I only listed two in PA. Both are fine. Cranberry Highlands is better, but less walkable (everyone would take carts) and a bit more $.

Like I said, more players are from Ohio, so I get it.

Afternoons are fine. We often go at like 1 or 2 or so anyway. I think John mentioned Quicksilver near Pittsburgh, but he can update the topic as he's calling there now.

Put me as interested. I haven’t played with you all this year.

I’ll find a way to make it as long as the course isn’t hours and hours away from me

I realized later that this date was Rocket Mortgage Classic weekend in Detroit and I had planned on attending, not going to make this one

I will give Reserve Run a call to see what tee times they have. 

If that falls through, I will move onto Oak Tree. 

Will report back later today.

Here's hoping those courses are close to Erie so I don't have to drive as much. 😁

Really wish I could make this one but flying back to NY from Oregon on July 30. Hopefully next year...

-Chris Brooks

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

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
