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.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      One thing I've noticed with Mini Drivers is that the manufacturers seem like they keep their quantities somewhat limited.  The last two TaylorMade Mini's and the Callaway AI Smoke Mini were sold out quickly.

      By iacas ·

      Huh? That's the niche of these mini-drivers. They can still work off the tee and off the fairway. They're designed for and work for both things, which is all that blurb says. You can see from the photos that it's a bit of a deeper face, which I find is more important off the tee than the fairway.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By saevel25 ·

      This statement doesn't make much sense to me.  So, I think the push and pull between a 3-wood meant for off the turf versus off the tee is how tall the face is on the 3-wood. I do not get how this mini driver would be good off the turf, or at least get the height needed to stop the ball as a normal 3-wood meant for off the ground. Maybe they care more about hitting the 3-wood off the tee versus off the turf. Nearly every strike would be low on the clubface relative to the CG location.  I would take that statement as more as marketing over what you would actually expect the club to perform.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By iacas ·

      No, not that Minnie Driver. This one: It's a mini driver from Titleist, available for Tour validation/testing starting this week at Kapalua. It's available in righty and lefty and is only in 13° models for now. GT280 is a direct result of Titleist’s collaboration with PGA TOUR players on the development and testing of the TSR 2W prototype, which debuted on TOUR at last year’s PLAYERS Championship. With many players seeking an additional option at the top end of their setup, Titleist tour reps and R&D engineers worked with players such as Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris to dial in a 13-degree head that worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck. Now on Tour: New Titleist GT280 The arrival of the 2025 PGA TOUR season this week in Maui brings with it an addition to Titleist’s breakthrough line of GT metalwoods: the new Titleist GT280.
