  • Remain (or become) an active member of the site.

This edition of the Newport is as much about having a group of guys play some golf with people they enjoy. That doesn't mean everyone has to agree on everything, but chemistry is important. If we're going to take a chunk of our time to travel away from our families and hang out with some other guys, we want it to be a great experience.

  • Find a host course to have us out there for three days.
  • Play true Ryder Cup style matches: four balls, foursomes, and singles.
  • West coast the first time around, east coast the second time around, etc. The dividing line is roughly the Mississippi.

Some of these names may be long gone, but become active here again, get your HC in form, and come play some golf!

Thanks for the tag, Mike! The event sounds awesome - I'd love to participate (work and family calendars permitting), so you can include me in the list for consideration. As far as stating my golf case goes, that's gonna be tough. According my index, I've hovered between a 7.4 - 9.5 over the last couple of years, but for some reason @Golfingdad manages to beat my brains in every time we play a round together!

I'll just say that I try my best to be good company, even when I'm not playing well, and leave it at that.

Not sure. I haven't been to the south east yet to experience that dry heat. At least your not getting 95 degrees with a dew point of 75! :surrender: that you can get in Ohio.

If there is any room on the team I might be interested, of course if the team would be interested in having me on it. I would like to be considered for a spot due to me playing golf sometimes and trying my best at it and always giving 110% for my wolfpack.

Adding @bjfox10 to the discussion as a consideration. Needs more posts so everyone can get to know him, but a great guy.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      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

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      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.
