Starting a planning thread for an outing in western NY (Buffalo to Corning/Elmira corridor, location TBD). For those interested in multi-day options I could be up for playing on Friday Aug 25 and/or Sunday Aug 27. Based on interest and geography we'll pick location(s) to play. If you are in this region and have a course to recommend, please include that in your reply. I'll take on coordination role for this outing.

Note - I swapped in NJ for MI in this thread, though of course nobody is excluded. If you want to travel, travel!

I’ll be in my college season by that point, so I’m out. Good luck.

I know @RFKFREAK was looking at coming to Erie earlier in August or even the very end of July too.

That’s mostly for instruction. Maybe some play with others.

I can probably make it, I'm about 4 hours east (hudson valley). Willing to car pool (ride/drive) if makes sense for anyone.

So far we are at 3 total. Hoping for at least one more! I could probably convince one of my locals to join to round things out. @mohearn I'm sure we can work out something to keep your drive manageable.

I could probably play in this either day and perhaps help find a course.

Excellent - looks like we at least have a foursome:

@RFKFREAK

@Carl3

@mohearn

Probably wise to start recommending venues. @Carl3 feel free to propose some options. If we wanted to make things easier for our eastern NY attendee then perhaps Mark Twain (Elmira) or Hiawatha Landing (near Binghamton) would be good. Also, @mohearn I've got plenty of space here at Keuka Lake for you to do a stayover if we did something more in the Rochester - Buffalo corridor.

Yeah, I was going to say, with 100-150 miles from Albany would be my preference.

My club is about 40 miles directly south of Buffalo, which may be a little too far for everyone. However, we have reciprocals with some that are east such as Lakeside Country Club in Penn Yan, Caledonia Country Club (Caledonia), Mendon Golf Club (Mendon), and Webster Golf Club (Webster, east of Rochester). I can get a foursome out to these. 

Christian and Mohern can see if they think they are a reasonable drive and worth the squeeze. I think they would all be fairly close to you Chris.

Lakeside is my home course and it looks like we have similar reciprocal lists. As much as I love my home course I'd love to play somewhere else for this outing. Webster and Caledonia have been on my want-to-play list for a while, but quite a haul from Albany.

Looks like the midpoint between Buffalo and Albany is in the Ithaca / Elmira / Binghamton area. Looks like it would be 150-200 miles for you @Carl3; I have an overnight option for you on Keuka to make your return home easier.

@mohearn what town are you coming from? Lower Hudson valley area? And how is this sounding @RFKFREAK? Chime in and we can start to settle on a concrete plan.

I don’t remember. It was six years ago. I think 80 81?

If those places are around 100 or 200 miles from Albany then cool.

@Carl3remind me, where would you be coming from?

I'm in Poughkeepsie. Hiawatha is about 3 hours, probably my limit. Makes for a long day to turn it around in a day.  I have half a thought of driving early Friday and playing Tom Coyne's (Paper Tiger author) course in Liberty (Sullivan County GC) and then overnighting in Binghampton.   Fairly flexible, too bad we can't entice another foursome, I hear it's going to be great. :-)

I want to play there too. I'd probably join you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 4zim ·

      Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃

      Best Shot of the Week

      By StuM ·

      Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.

      Clubface Control Drills?

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.

      That truly had me laughing. Thanks If anyone is interested Sun Day Red is live. I clicked on the hats, seem they are sold out. Shorts 130 bucks, shirts 120, everything seems to be sold out already, at least from what I clicked on. 130 for shorts, I'll pass.
