So, as @iacas mentioned in another thread, I am going to be going to Erie to get a lesson from him in a few weeks but in talking with him, we kicked around the idea of potentially doing a group lesson like we did a few years ago which was very successful, IMO (https://thesandtrap.com/forums/topic/104779-chautauqua-nyerie-pa-gathering-august-1-2-2020/)

So, wanted to see if there was any interest in doing another group gathering sometime in August depending on @iacas's availability.   Don't have any dates specific in mind but thought i'd throw it out there first to see if ppl wanted and could do this.  We also played a round the day after the lesson so I'd be open to that, too.

Tagging folks who went to the last gathering who I think would back me up in not only how helpful it was, but also how much fun the gathering was (and to see if they wanted to hang out with me again).

Early August.

@NatalieB goes back to school on the 11th or so.

But, yes, looking forward to it if we can sort something out. And if not, @RFKFREAK will come down for a day or two or three.

But if two or three others can come… cool. Because then he can have someone with whom to play.

@RFKFREAK, greatly appreciate you tagging me. It was a great event. I will be out early August for another bucket list golf trip so I am going to have to sit this one out in interest of staying married.πŸ˜„ .  Keep me in the know for the next one whenever it works out.

I'm always interested. 
It might be a challenge for me as my daughter's, my wife's, my mother's and my sister's birthdays are all in August, so I'll have to squeeze it in, but I'm definitely interested. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Hmmm... ponder mode engaged. Four+ hours from SE Michigan is doable.

Current skill level matter?

Fun, yes.

It's also kind of amazing because they are each exactly one week apart.

I'm a terrible golfer so the current skill level def does not matter.   @iacas is good at group instruction so really is worth getting a lesson from him, IMO.

I don't doubt that for a minute.  God knows instruction wouldn't hurt me any :-D

Drive time for me would be about 4Β½ hours.  No problem.  Heck, I drove over five hours, round trip, just a few months back to snag a piece of gym gear from halfway across the state.  If I did that I can do this :-)

Sounds fun and educational.  Serious ponder mode now.


Looks like we have a good amount of interest.

 

@iacas can you share some dates with your availability?

If you are on the fence about going, maybe my opinion will help give you the push needed to get you to Erie.    Erik is an excellent instructor.   He's concise, direct, and very inciteful.   If I were healthy and playing, I'd definitely be up to making the trip.   Stu and I made the trip in October 2021 and I enjoyed every minute there.   If I were closer, I'd be there on a regular basis.   

Make the time to make the trip.

Well… if we're looking at weekends (with Friday being a possible start day: say some could arrive Friday, Saturday could be mostly instructional, Sunday y'all could play and go home)…

  • July 28-30
  • August 4-6

Thoughts?

    • Day 50: 1/30/2025 Back home again, today. Got to do some full speed swings hitting balls into the garage net.
    • Something just popped into my head, based on your mention of the folks who "know the rules" but are generally wrong.  Another comment I read was "the Rules ALWAYS said.....".  When I come across those I often go to  www.ruleshistory.com to see if the rules ever said that.  You can find every (almost?) version of the rules since the first set in 1744.  Its fun to return to the conversation and say "You're a little bit right, the rules said that at one time, but that changed in 1984.  You've been playing under the wrong rule for 40 years!"  
    • Hi, checking back in to see if any St. Louis area golfers get together for a round or three during the year.  I have recently dropped my membership in a local league this year to work on my game and meet other people.  I would love to hear from anyone that would be interested in meeting for a round in the St. Louis area.   Rick
