Stack and Tilt Schools, Boston, June 6th

[iacas]

OK. June 6th Boston school is CONFIRMED. The location is Ponkapoag Golf Club...the Donald Ross muni in Canton, MA. My contact there in Boston tells me the range is nice on the back end and will give us plenty of space. I will be there to teach/run the school of course as well as my staff. Jimmy Burke (Harvard Golf Coach), a SnT guy himself will be there to help as well. $585 is the cost and that includes theory and detailed explanation in the am along with A LOT of one on one instruction all day. We will include lunch for everyone as well and we will also have computers and printers on hand so everyone will have photo documentation noting their changes and everything they worked on. School will run from 8:45 AM - 5:00 PM. Can't wait to get there. We already have 4 confirmed in and the max is 12 so if you want a spot please let me know asap. As long as we have 8 minimum we will make the trip for certain (based on this thread and emails i have received i think we will be there by Friday). Contact info is in this post just above.

OK - we officially have 5 as of right now and we will NEED 7 to make the trip and do the school (I had originally

Just wanted to start a new thread, as discussed.

I'm in if there is still a spot left. Email sent to Dave and PM left for Erik.

You're in. That puts us at six out of seven needed. We have a possible seventh, but we can take eight too - if anyone else out there knows a friend let me know.

Thanks Erik, looking forward to it and hoping for nice, bug free, weather.

One question, Dave's post mentions computers and photo documentation. Will there be any video equipment as well or is TGE only able to do videos at home in Erie?

The cameras come with us. We'll be driving over, I think, with a car full of equipment and aids.

Sounds like a great opportunity to learn.

We've hit seven students now so we'll be coming to the school.

[Shankapotomus]

Excellent! Hopefully the weather will cooperate so we aren't wet all day. Currently a 50% chance of showers but it can all change before then.

[boogielicious]

Excellent! I am looking forward to it.

[Stretch]

Woot!

Hopefully it'll be like today, which is absolutely perfect.

Also, there's still room for a few more. We'll have at least four instructors on hand.

Sure wish I had the funds for this right now but I like my marriage so I'll have to decline. Hopefully you guys have some time to head up to Boston (make sure you eat in the North End). Let me say an early Welcome to Boston!

That's a lot of one on one action!!!!!

I'm stunned you have any room left in this one!

[Shankapotomus]

Four instructors to seven students.. I like that ratio. My Stack and Tilt book arrives tomorrow so I'll be sure to do some reading before Sunday.

[boogielicious]

Study hard Shank! I've read it at least 3 times!! I find something new each time.

[Hollister]

Hmm, 700 bucks to cross the pond for a nice day? Think I have the wrong job. Gotta waive participation this time. Sigh.

[Shankapotomus]

Do I need to bring anything other than my clubs? Will there be a lot of notes to take during the theory part of the class?

Edit: Weather forecast is not getting any better.. courtesy of NOAA:

Sunday: Showers likely before 2pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm between 2pm and 3pm, then showers likely after 3pm. Cloudy, with a high near 68. Northeast wind around 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.

Things to bring:
1) notepad and pencil/pen
2) your golf clubs
3) golf attire (spikes, etc.)

That's about it.

BTW, we may have eight students now. We have at least seven. We're leaving at 4:30am Saturday so if we're out of touch for awhile, it's because we're driving.
