Oops didn't look at the calendar, meant the 23rd...

If it's good for everyone else I can see if I can make that work on my end.

FWIW, I can likely take a Friday off if it's good for others.

Sounds like the 23rd of July is good for the four of us @krupa, @colin007, @RFKFREAK, and me @onthehunt526...

I was thinking Conklin Player's Club because it's a nicer course, not insanely expensive $54 with cart on the weekend...

But if @RFKFREAK and @colin007 don't want a 2.5 hour car ride, Afton is an hour and 45 minutes from both ends.

my vote is for the shorter drive, honestly. esp since i'll probably be the one driving. @RFKFREAK?

AFAIK, that date is fine.

As long as Afton isn't like $100 for the round, your call since you're driving. :banana:

hmmm.... not sure.  the Afton scorecard shows basically all back and forth holes, pretty boring.

edit - just mapped it to Conklin and google says 2hrs 12mins - that would be a flat 2 hrs with how i drive.

Just looking at Conklin, it has a good amount of dog legs and some really interesting holes:

8th: Par 4 - gotta hit over water

10th: Par 3 - Island Green

13th: Par 3 - Gotta carry the water

But like I said, you're call.

Makes sense; @onthehunt526 probably doesn't know that you don't believe in speed limits. :whistle:

Conklin is good for me, It's like 2 hours from you Albany guys, and an hour and 35 from me and @krupa. Mostly highway miles. Even going the speed limit I think CPC is 30-35 minutes from Afton, it's like 23 miles to Binghamton via I-88 (which merges to 81 South) then another 7 miles to Exit 1 of I-81. And Conklin Players Club is right on the main road, you literally can't miss it...

So CPC on July 23rd, I'm not sure of their booking policy, but I'll look around and see if I can find a deal...

If anyone else aside from 

@krupa

@RFKFREAK@colin007 or myself are interested... please post in this thread... Conklin Players Club July 23rd...

I'm fine with either.  Conklin definitely looks like the better of the two courses.

Just looking at the course, it'll be a minor miracle if I shoot under 100 there.

It is and it's easy to find too...

@krupa, are you planning on playing this weekend?

I'll just be happy if I have some golf balls left at the end of the round.   This may be one of those rounds where I score my mood instead of stroke count:  :)    :(   >:(

Yep. I have to meet an electrician at the house on Saturday (time to be determined tomorrow) to get a quote but otherwise, I'm pretty free.

I'm going to bring 100 balls and then probably will have to buy more at the turn. :-\

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
