I understand we are in late Dec. and looking at a larger storm over the holiday (in Michigan) but my mind is on Golf for next year.  I am hoping to coordinate a TST Outing in 2023 and hoping to participate in at least one other TST Outing 

I am starting this thread to solicit interest and begin planning an outing.  I encourage you to post if you are interested and if interested what locales might you be open to.  At this time it is very open ended.

We have members across a wide geographic area and some may need to drive but hopefully we can find somewhat central areas that get a high rates of participation.  It is very possible we have more than one TST Outing in 2023 so do not hold back, if you would like to participate get in on this initial discussion and lets find a way to make it work for as many of us as possible.

My initial thoughts are late May or June 2023 on a Saturday afternoon with an optional Sunday morning round for those that choose to spend the night.  It would need to be a "Rain or Shine" event since planning well out in the future.  One possible area is Cleveland, Ohio vicinity.  That is @ 3 hours from me in Michigan, @ 4 hours from Cincinnati area and not bad from Pittsburg or Western New York.

Question 1: Who is interested in a Cleveland Vicinity TST Outing on Saturday May 20, May 27, June 3, or June 10 with an 2nd optional round on the following Sunday.

  1. @StuM currently 5/20, 5/27. 6/3 and 6/10 all work for me

Question 2: Who is open to coordinating a TST Outing in 2023?

  1. @StuM - I will coordinate 1 outing in Cleveland Area
  2. @StuM - I can assist with one in Michigan if enough are interested.

Question 3: What other areas might you be interested visiting for a TST Outing?

  1.  @StuM - Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania or Kentucky dependent upon date (I do not mind traveling)

Looking forward to a great 2023 Golf Year!

May 27th is my anniversary, so I don't know about that one.

But the others should be good.

I should be healthy enough to go any of those dates.   Since I missed a significant amount of golf in 2022, I'm going to try and make up for lost time in 2023.   Count me in!   

 

@iacas,

I didn't get the @dennyjones notification.   I was just going thru all new comments.

I could make this coincide with my annual Erie trip. The last two outings have been in Ohio. Perhaps @billchao could make it too.

Yeah, that trip this year… let's see… it's good to play before the lessons, mostly, don't you both agree?

As I told @StuM in a DM… Natalie has Nationals through May 12, and then we'll have to move her in to her place in Maryland for her internship, so… the 20th is likely the best looking window for you guys. We wouldn't want to push it to June, that's for sure.

Now that we've moved and my son isn't quite a newborn anymore I should have more time for golf things like this next year. I would be in for 5/20 or 6/10.

5/27 is Memorial day weekend and we usually go to a lake house and 6/3 is my anniversary so would likely be out for both of those weekends.

I did not look at the holiday, let’s drop May 27

seems May 20 has potential

Yeah. Playing after lessons tends to be a mess for me.

I’ll pencil it on my calendar. I don’t have any plans as far as I’m aware of.

The mentions don’t work in the topic tags like that. They would have been fine if you did it in the body of the post.

Oh yeah, me too. Sometimes golfing after a lesson I'm a like a palsy victim doing brain surgery with a pipe wrench!

I'm with you on that.  in Oct 2021 Erik changed my grip.  It took a large part of the 2022 season for it to feel natural and I was really messed up for a while.  (OK, I'm still messed up but the grip is less of an issue)

Re-tag everyone, please. "tags" are just for search and stuff, they don't notify anyone of anything.

Like this: https://thesandtrap.com/tags/@iacas/. Literally no results, because nothing is "tagged" with "@iacas". Versus, say, https://thesandtrap.com/tags/tiger/.

I'm so in for this in 2023, though May 20 weekend is out as I'm volunteering at the PGA Championship at Oak Hill. The rest of the dates work. I'm coming from "east side" (finger lakes) but can easily roam as far as Cleveland.

If there are other western/central NY and PA folks here, I'd be up for coordinating a separate event in that region later in the summer.

-Chris Brooks

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

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
