The 2015 Newport Cup

[saevel25]

The cost for golf + lodging will be under $500. We'll request payment (to @mvmac) on around July 20th when we name the last two members of the team(s). We already have the house reserved.

Paypal, check, cash?

Yes. :-)

Thanks, EriK, sounds like the only thing I need to do right now is get my plane tickets.  I'm so used to planning all my trips from start to finish, this is a real treat to be able to relax and trust you and @mvmac to take care of us.

Thanks again!

Yeah, y'all will want to coordinate arrival times for car rentals (some of you might go with a smaller car and just two, some with a larger van and four of you, etc.).

Alright guys, looks like I'm going to get in around 10-10:30 on Tuesday night. (Haven't booked but getting some feelers) I might take an uber to the hotel if nobody is in around the same time.

I plan on flying out of Akron Canton airport. They have cheaper flights, and my parents live 10 minutes away from the airport so no parking :)

I plan on flying southwest. Can't really beat the two free bag checks ;) I am limited on my flight times.

I am looking at a 10:00 AM arrival on Tuesday September 8th.

[kpaulhus]

I'm in!

[saevel25]

Flight secured!

I'm still debating between driving out to Palm Desert and carpooling with Tristan, or flying from OC.  Wife wasn't terribly excited when I told her I'm leaving Tuesday night instead of Wednesday morning, so I'm looking to try and make that up (if possible) by coming back Saturday night (if I can) instead of Sunday morning.

1)  Right now, I'm looking at an 8:45pm flight Tuesday night out of OC that arrives at 10pm, and a 7:20pm flight Saturday evening out of Phoenix that gets me back here (8:30pm) before the kids go to bed.

OR

2)  Leaving by car around 6pm, getting to Tristans at 8, and then getting to Moon Valley near midnight.  That's much less ideal on the way out, but it gives me flexibility coming back if the Saturday festivities last longer.

I'm hoping to get a little bit of an idea of when @iacas or @mvmac think that we'll be done on Saturday before I make this decision and book anything either way.  (Who the remaining two players on our team end up being, and where they're from, might have some bearing on this as well.) ;)

I am sort of in the same boat as you. Arriving Tuesday night is going to be extremely tricky with the wife.

I've already managed 2 bachelor parties this year to date. Good thing I'm a hell of a salesman.

Nah, she's just racking up the points now. After your married you'll be saying a lot of, "yes dear"

Hey, neither of us said we couldnt or wouldnt come Tuesday night!  But the difference between us and you is one key word ...

"Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah BEFORE my wedding blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah."  You ain't married yet!!!!

The other key is that intimidating look with the visor and the cigar.

Seriously though, the wife is pretty agreeable, I just don't want to push my luck too much.  Leaning heavily towards my option #1 currently.

LOL, I've been saying "yes dear" for over 30 years now, and here's a secret....IT WORKS!!  But I'm one of the lucky guys, my wife likes golf as much as I do.  When I old her I might have a chance to do this trip, she didn't even hesitate before telling my i should do it.  Of course, she might be trying to get me out of the house for a few days....

[shakogolfer78]

Looks like a great time!  Maybe I will try and get my game in shape for 2016.  Go Red team!!!  Can't wait to watch everything unfold.

Your suppose to be talking sh*t to the other team. We are on your team

I played golf on the morning on the day I was married, but as @Golfingdad pointed out that was before I was married. And actually right up until I had the kid this would have been no issue either. Then add the kid right around she is suppose to start school and you have a nice recipe for crazy wife. You'll know it when it happens.

Now if @Golfingdad out (he has a bunch of kids) then I might have to take it seriously.

Be men. :-)

This reminds me of this,
