We’re in Erie for a few days doing instructional stuff after the outing.

There are more opportunities for it there with the five par threes, too.

Ha! I would be pulling it out of my… 😁
I still have not attempted to swing a club. I think I’ll see what the doc says when I see him in June. 
 

Correction: I did make a few easy swings in the backyard, but nothing all out.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know as I’m unsure of tee times, but I’ll be coming right from work getting off at 730 with about an hour and 15 minute drive. If we are teeing off early I just need to know to make it work so I’m asking. Hahaha. Sorry, don’t mean to be a pain. I appreciate it.

I believe @StuM mentioned that the tee times start at 1:00 PM.

OK guys, I am ready to see you all on May 20th.  As of now we have 21 golfers and 6 tee times.  We can accommodate 3 last minute additions if anyone is interested.  As it is I see 3 Foursomes and 3 Threesomes.  I'm not sure how that impacts Erik's pairings or any of the side games.  That will get worked out.  Below is the current list:

If necessary, we can do 4 foursomes, 1 threesome and a group of 2 if that works better.

    • 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.
