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.

The 23rd is good for me.

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.

@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. :-\

    • Day 66: Played 18! Wasn't really keeping track of score, but guessing in the low 80s. Driving okay, iron play up and down, lagging putting really bad. Overall, it was good to get out and play. 
    • Day 41 - 2026-01-30 More backswing and grip work on the mat / net. Also some mirror time focused on trail weight.
    • Day 12 (30 Jan 26) -  Had hoped the men’s group would be playing, but the cold temps and delayed opening kept them at bay. Spent some time on the range working on loading the trail foot on the backswing (focusing on loading the inner portion of the foot and collapsing the knee slightly toward the ball). Learned too much really brought on a left pull.  Easing back a bit, really helped compressing the ball and overall accuracy.  Took it to the course for a practice round, focusing on this small change.  Saw better dispersion across the bag….guess this will be part of the mirror work drills as snowpacolypse 2 hits eastern NC. 
    • I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙
    • Day 28: 2026.01.30 Managed to make time for a few swings out back today. Need a proper bit of range time this weekend.
