2014 Erie/Cleveland/Pittsburgh/Buffalo Summer Get-Together (August 16-17)

[Slice of Life]

We'll just hijack you back to Erie then. I am sure you could fit in the trunk with the golf clubs right?

I'm short and pretty lightweight...

I'll know for sure by the end of the week. It's a bummer, I was really looking forward to this...especially since I've been playing the best golf of my life (sans putting) through my two short rounds this year.

Putting is easy to fix.

[Slice of Life]

Putting is easy to fix.

Yeah, I just lost the feel for it...I literally did not touch a golf club between late September and June. It started coming back to me at the end of my last round.

Last year I spent little to no time working on putting, and it's showed...been rusty. However, my ball-striking with wedges and irons has been phenomenal (for me)...and that was 95% of what I worked on last season, and it seems to have stuck. Hit (I believe) 6 GIR my last time out, all but one from 115+ yards.

That's good news. After watching all the old bad habits that crept back into my putting stroke, it needs some fixin.

Note that I've updated the FIRST PAGE with hotel information.

You have only until July 23rd to find your roommate and book your room.

Please call, give them your name and the information in the first post ("The Sand Trap Golf Group" is our group name), and two of you can stay for $139 plus taxes (6% occupancy, 7% hotel).

Cool?

P.S. Some of you might want to bring a friend. That's good - please consider it. :) Just add them to the list as " @iacas friend (Ivan)" or something like that.

[Lihu]

Count me in. My work schedule is locked for the week of the 11th.

I will book the hotel on 7/20-ish.

Now, I need to figure out a way to book the flight and transport my clubs around.

[billchao]

I won't be bringing anyone, so I'll need a roommate.

[Lihu]

I won't be bringing anyone, so I'll need a roommate.

I'm up for that, but I still need to firm up my plans before committing. Still need a flight that takes me through Erie, PA.

[saevel25]

Sounds good!! Looking forward to it!

Great! I sent you a PM.

If you're coming, or bringing a buddy, add your name (or their name + yours) to the list. I've modified Mike's listing to look like a "buddy" listing.

I'm firming up the plans for the night before. The wife and kid are on a vacation this weekend, so the house is all mine. Could serve as a backup plan to hang out in the back yard or something. :)

Night before, do you mean Saturday or Friday?

[iacas]

Night before, do you mean Saturday or Friday?

Saturday. I mean what we are doing that day and evening.

[Golfingdad]

Saturday.

Maybe send @mvmac and @Lihu away for the evening and try to come up with a way to not get your asses handed to you in next years Newport Cup??

It's one idea at least.

That's easy. We simply require that all West Coast team members are on Evolvr and we subtly give you bad information for the three months leading up to the tournament. :-)

LOL ... three months??  That's not going to hurt me because I barely submit a video every three months these days.

But your point is noted.  I'll probably still be working on the same things, so when Stephan tells me that I need to make the plane steeper on the downswing, kick the right knee towards the ball, and try to "crouch" into it as I hit it ... I'll know something is up.

Secured one of the Hotel rooms!!
