So, each year I make a trip from Virginia to Golf Evolution in Erie for a meet up with @iacas, at least once and possibly twice. This year I feel like it would be a great benefit if we were able to do have an outing around here (Virginia Beach/DC area). We could have a 5SK school, or an LSW clinic, and a few AimPoint clinics directly in person with @iacas. Of course an 18-hole round will be in the works too. It works out hugely better from cost stand point of view whenever a group is involved and of course, I have never been to a TST outing that has been anything less than a blast.

Possible venues are in the Washington DC area or in the Virginia Beach area and possible dates are May 6-7 because that's a free weekend for @iacas before he goes to Florida for NCAA Nationals for his college team. I have talked to a few members directly and there is already interest. At this point I am gauging interest which can help with planning.

Kindly respond in this thread with interest and eventually more firm plans can follow. Being a TST member is not a pre-requisite at all. PMs are welcome.

P.S. The AimPoint clinics are the most likely thing and the LSW/5SK clinics we will figure out.

Editor Update: See this post for details on the schedule:

V! Thanks for thinking of putting something like this together!

Pencilled into calendar now.  I'll try tagging people soon who were in the previous midAtlantic outings (and those who were interested in those but had to back out).

I'm one of the guys V has talked to, so I'm definitely in.  We can host this at Stoneleigh again, if that works for everything.  I've contacted our pro, and that weekend works for the club.  I'll be getting our club pro and manager in touch with @iacas in the next couple of days to discuss the potential arrangements for clinics.

Cmon, it wasn't that bad, except the couple of holes where the snow was coming down.

And that my ball cracked from the cold...

Honestly as much as I enjoyed it in those conditions I am looking forward to playing there again that much more.

The snow itself wasn't even that bad. It was that the snow was blowing horizontally at times, and the balls were blowing off the green!

I've had my daughter who you met drive me out that way recently as part of her learning to get her license, and we pulled into some of the streets where I could view the holes. I'm ready to take another crack at it. 

Saw your note on your hole in one. That sounded like the first par 3 on the front 9, correct? I'll never forget your comment after I hit what for me was a decent strike: "oooh, nice shot- you're dead there."

That's the hole.  Golf in general isn't fair, and that hole is even less fair.

You mean when @Jeremie Boop set his ball on the 2nd green and the wind blew it off?  :-O

Number 4 is a really tough hole even if you hit the green.

This is starting to sound promising..!

P.S. I have feared nothing more in my life than the climb to fortress green from tee on the 12th hole at Stoneleigh.

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By TN94z ·

      In August, I am playing the World Am in Myrtle Beach. I do not know which courses yet, but should be a blast. Aside from that, those are the only golf trip plans, unless I play while on vacation in Destin in June.

      Gained a Lot of Club Speed in a Couple of Days With the Same Effort. Try This Out!

      By p1n9183 ·

      Even on a perfect center hit I was receiving at most 1.48 smash factor. 10 days ago on the warming up for a round my Driver made a weird sound, I checked the bottom and it was cracked. Don't know for how long it was cracked but at least this time the crack was easy visible. Maybe it was already cracked before but with a more subtle crack?.. don't know. I'm waiting for TaylorMade to approve the warranty and send me a new head. I was using the Stealth Plus, I will take the opportunity and upgrade it to the Qi10 LS paying the difference.  On Sunday with my old Titleist 915 and softer balls I was reaching 1.5, even 1.51 on center hits. Test didn't went well. Only gained 2..3 miles, not worth pursuing. Figured out that with a ball and with a target, my path was way to in to out with this new idea, so in order to move the club in the correct path I needed to slow down to redirect the club on the downswing or aim more to the right, close the face a play a big hook.. not possible. I already play a big draw with Driver, more curvature is unplayable. Yesterday at home, with no ball messed around with a more neutral path, even swinging a little out to in. It felt a lot more in sync with the body. With a big in to out path it feels like my hands are working right, away from the body, when the body is working to rotate to the left. With the path to the left is was easier to apply force thru the hitting zone.  As always tested 10 swings with my current swing (A), and 10 with this little out to in path(B).  The difference was huge, like 12 miles faster with swing (B). I knew something wasn't right. The fact was that the PRGR was aligned more in line with the (B) path so it of course was giving higher speeds. I proceeded to align it with the (A) path and tested again 5 more swings each. Again (B) was faster but only by 5 miles. (Made a tiny experiment moving the PRGR to a more extreme in to out path and the swings register 25/30% slower for both swings, so it wasn't reading properly at that angle) Finally I moved the PRGR in the middle of both paths, and this time (B) won by 9 miles. Off course, this was without a ball and a target so.. I will be hitting the range tomorrow to see the real difference.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By klineka ·

      At Bent Tree, right? I'm surprised the greens were that slow. I played right around the corner at Northstar and their greens were normal speed. Slightly soft/receptive but not overly so and not slow or shaggy by any means.
