Sadly I'll be out of town. Hope the other guys are free that weekend.

I believe that's the week that Shane was working on getting people together for an outing. That's the Saturday that I start my vacation so I will most likely be there.

If that's a go, count me in.

I'm still good to go on the 18th if someone was setting that up.  Sounds like we have at least 4 that can play.

So, I was lucky enough to get a chance to golf for free last night. I showed up at one of the courses here after the rain stopped to walk 9 holes and they had already closed down shop because nobody else was showing up and it was already 7 pm. After a bit of back and forth asking about if I was a member, did I have exact change *no*, was a student, etc. The girl finally says, "You can just go out and walk it, he can just go out right?" The guy that was there just kind of looked at her and said "Sure." I asked if she was sure and she said yes but they were going to be leaving, I guess in case anything happened or something. I thanked them and went out golfing. I played decent, but I was besieged by legions of mosquitoes which caused me to rush several shots. They had me so frustrated by the last 3 holes I tried to walk around the tee box a bit then up to the ball to take my stance and get my swing off in about two seconds before they all started landing on me... only worked one time. The other two my tee shot was horrible because of the rushed set up. All in all though, I can't get too angry because it was free and I ended up finding about a dozen golf balls.

I'd guess the blood suckers got to be awful up there in flood country. My lot got bitten up at Miami Shores on Sunday and I'd assume more the same this weekend.

Anyone have suggestions for where to go and where to avoid during mosquitoe season?

In my experience, Madden and Miami Shores can be real bad.

The other course I play isn't nearly as bad because there are only a few holes near woods, but this course has 6 holes in a row that run next to woods. I've never been one to use mosquito repellent but I'm starting to think about carrying some for times like last night. I think I lost at least a few strokes from rushing and frustration from those pests.

Always have cigars in your golf bag. Light one of those bad boys up and they keep the mosquitoes at bay!

You know, I never thought of that. Smoke in general does keep them away... Now, if I only liked to smoke cigars.

Saturday looks like the only day in our general area that is supposed to be decent, hopefully that holds out so I can get some more time on the course with this G25 driver for testing.

Yep. Good to go on the 18th. Still working out the time, but I'm targeting early afternoon. I have the OK from Kittyhawk, but @missitnoonan is seeing if Homestead is open.

Wouldn't mind trying it out on Homestead. Haven't been out there yet this year.

Depending on the # of people, I may invite my Uncle too. Still seeing what timeframe I have open on that Saturday.

I am getting enough tee times to accommodate as many as possible. Let me know ASAP if he is in.

Here is a link to the event on Facebook .

[Slice of Life]

I gotta check to see if I can even do that. 2:30-7 kills a huge chunk of the day. I'll let you know about me and my uncle.

The North course is a bit of a brute. My bruv and I played there a year or two ago and it got real ugly. No diagrams of the holes on either the tee box or the scorecard had us just guessing on a few occasions. Condition wise it was pretty good.  The other thing I've heard recently is that pace of play tends to really suck (although its hard to believe it's much worse than K-hawk).
