TST Fall NW PA/NE OH (Erie, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, etc.) Outing - August 13, 14

[Hardspoon]

FWIW, weather.com has only a 20% chance of rain on Sunday now (Saturday still doesn't look good).

Glad to hear we (might) have a 17th.

What the interwebs tell me, it's be like Waffle House hashbrowns. Scattered.

As far as a 17th man, anyone I know that might go would fall under the non-golfer category. Guys that don't do rules and don't have handicaps.

As for myself, I like mine "smothered" and "covered"!

Yes, the forecasts change constantly. My buddy's Son was on vacation the first week of August, and we golfed it up! Played 5 times in 6 days. T'storms in the forecast every day, and we only saw a drop one day. We just battened down the hatches, rode it out, and finished the round.

Well, weather types have been known to get things wrong. Maybe we will get smothered and covered. Wouldn't be my preference though.

The pairings (foursomes) can be whatever y'all want them to be, with the idea that you play with some "new"people you've not met or played with in the past.

P.S. If for any reason the teams aren't fair or you want to change them, just PM me.

P.P.S. @macdaddy18 wishes to have the last tee time.

[mcanadiens]

Ok. Going to print out my maps and get going. If I'm not there by 5 p.m. assume I'm lost in a corn field.

Where are you coming from?  The year 2002?

1992 If you really want to know.

Erik:

Pairings look good to me. Suggestion:  Maybe send group pairs # 3 and 4 off first.  Low-cappers who hit the ball a ton.  I played with Jeremy last year and he can hit it long.  My group (daves and Dennis (1) and Slice and Slice can go off in the second grouping if its ok with Slice and his partner.  I'd be more than happy to follow the big hitters and go off second grouping.

Slice Of Life:  Is it okay with you to be paired with me and Dennis and go off as the second group? We all seem to be of similar hdcp and skill level.

As an aside, Dennis and @daves will be at the course tomorrow around 8:15.

Looking forward to a fun round, gents.

I did message Erik last night to request one of the later times tomorrow, but it really isn't that critical.  I'll be happy to do whatever works for the rest of the group.  @cupslam and I would like to play together - he's also a local guy (Sandusky), but we rarely play together these days - if that's ok w/ our partners, @saevel25 and @Jeremie Boop.  @Hardspoon, sorry we don't get to try to defend together, but you're probably better off w/out having to carry me on your back to victory again!  Looking forward to the event and thinking very dry thoughts. . .

I only made two-man teams. I didn't make foursomes or set the order of those foursomes.

BTW, everyone remember to bring your @GAME Golf units!

Anyone local up there able to give any insight on what the weather is doing today?

That right now 

[Jeremie Boop]

Hmm... not looking promising for tonight.

[Divot Master]

just checked in motel, raining hard and some thunder

[mcanadiens]

I'm at the hotel now. Rain is heavy and coming in horizontal. The friggin tv isn't working either. As soon as it slacks off a little, I'm going to the course, even if that means mostly sitting in the bar. 

[dave s]

Weather ... great.  And I'm supposed to be on stage playing music in Wooster, outdoors in this weather.  If we get our show in, it'll be a miracle.

Let's hope for dry weather tomorrow morning through early afternoon.

Ok.  Certainly can wait until the morning.  Dennis and I can go off whenever and with whomever.  Teams 1 and 2 looks like a good match.

[Divot Master]

still at the motel, rain mostly stopped now, sky getting a bit lighter, keeping fingers crossed

[iacas]

I think at this point we'll probably just end up hanging out in the lounge here, drinking, eating, talking. Tonight.

Tomorrow still a go.
