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.

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.

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.
    • Wordle 1,070 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
