This falls under the “Way Too Early” category but I have some travel and tournament plans to wrap around this big Event. Any ideas as to where and the month?

I think @Hardspoon is going to organize this one this year… unless you're talking about one in a very different area.

I'm sure he'd welcome the help if you're not.

Anywhere within reasonable driving distance works for me. Open to assist, too.

I'm interested.

I always enjoy playing in these events, sometimes I've even played well. ... sometimes not so much. 

I do have an event I've been playing for more than a decade and a half that happens the first weekend in May in Las Vegas. 

BTW - if any of you are interested in joining me in that event let me know, and I'll get you details. 

Here's the thread for that event. 

 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I've had fun every time I've gotten together with any of the SandTrap folks, I'm definitely interested in doing it again if its within reasonable driving distance.

Ick. Maybe only if we play the front nine twice. Hard pass on the back nine.

I assume you mean at Rolling Rock, with the front 9 being the Donald Ross part, and the back opening 80 years later?

Yes. I think it was Brian Silva. A less good section of the property, and a much less good set of holes.

I last played it on a day when they had… six rounds played. We were three of them.

I plan to play a lot more golf in 2025 than I did in 2024, so let me know where and if I can get there, I will.

As @iacas mentioned, I'm happy to help plan this year.

If we want to stick close to Pittsburgh/Ohio, we could play a round at my club: 


Williams Golf & Country Club is a private club located in the heart of Weirton, West Virginia. We offer memberships of all varieties and can host any event.

It's nothing special, but a nice round and something a little different.  Depending how many folks we have, I could possibly also get us on at Allegheny CC.

No…?

When we edit the title of topics, a little note appears.

Both Williams & Allegheny look nice to play.

Any update here?  Hopefully, the weather has started to break and we can add some dates to our calendar.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
