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.

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. :-)

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By DaveP043 ·

      Rule 1.2b refers you to a section in the Committee Procedures (Section 5I) that helps explain what a Code of Conduct may (and may not) do.  Defining acceptable behavior (including smoking) and applying Stroke of DQ penalties are certainly within the Committee's authority. That Code of Conduct certainly should be available, either in written form or in a webpage accessible to all.  It may not show up on the "standard local rules" for an organization, the "hard card", as it sounds like its a policy of this particular golf course. Assuming that's the case it should show up on the Notice to Players for this particular event.  If you can't find it, ask someone, send an email, try to find out.   In summary, yes the Committee can DQ (or withdraw) a Player for smoking, even before or between rounds.  But its up to you to go from there, communication is the key here.

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Hmm... I not sure I completely understand. If the course has a no smoking policy, then he shouldn't smoke at the course.  I'm assuming since you are aware of the policy, it must be written down somewhere.  As far as getting disqualified from the tournament, I would think that would be up to the committee. But it feels like it is within their power to disqualify, so why take the chance?
