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.

  • iacas changed the title to 2023 TST Outing (OH/PA/MI/NY/WV) - Soliciting Interest

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.

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

    • Day 323 - Opposite of yesterday, focusing more on taking a full backswing than anything else.
    • Day 139: worked on putting for a while. Did the two cups drill for bead. 
    • It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno…. 
    • Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.
