I am sure you might be able to get some one on one time with Erik Saturday to help fix that a bit.

Not sure what you are talking about? :whistle:

Would totally do it if you guys weren't playing like 6 hours away.

As others have pointed out… Six hours is probably less than the average.

Seriously, find a good podcast, book your hotel room, and make the trip.

It's closer to 8 hours for me, IIRC. And that drive through upstate NY makes it feel like 80. [quote name="RFKFREAK" url="/t/74714/2014-erie-cleveland-pittsburgh-buffalo-summer-get-together-august-16-17/150_30#post_1025227"]Cold blooded. :-$ [/quote] I follow the people! :-)

Ugh, I wish I could make it, but I can't get out of a share and I have to babysit in addition. Errrr... Maybe next year. I'm sure this event will be well documented! ;-)

I've had the boy caddie for me a few times. It's quite nice. =]

I've also had to caddie for my boy. It was also fun.

That's why you go for the weekend and stay overnight in a hotel. Six hours is like nothing; a couple of people are coming in from CA.

I believe it's pretty close to 6 hours for some of us who are driving there. It's worth it if you take advantage of both days. I did it last year when we just had the one day and felt the drive was worth it.

Yeah. Get your butt in gear @RFKFREAK!

I'm driving from 4.5 hours away, yet we from Dayton have to be nice to the guy from Lima and go out of our way to pick up @Jeremie Boop. So it is more like a 5 hour drive. So gas up and hit the road!!!

As others have pointed out… Six hours is probably less than the average.

You guys are seriously tempting me. :-\

@jamo - Which way do you go through upstate NY?

I-90 goes right through my town in MA, so I just jump on that and take it all the way to Erie.

It's funny. @jamo and I joked that the directions from his house to mine are basically:

Take a left. Take a right. Get on I-90W. Merge onto I-79N. Take a left. Take a right and my house is 1/5th of a mile ahead.

Haha right. It's the most simple 8-hour drive Google Maps has ever seen.

Everyone attending (well, the first 16 to sign up at least) will get two sleeves of Callaway's SR2 golf balls.

Other prizes and goodies yet to be announced… :)

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
