Apparently May is a busier month than I thought, but as I said make plans and I will try to fit it in.

I'm out the first week of May, and out on May 15, May 26, and May 31 unless it was a relatively early tee time on those days.

Had a great time with the TST Michigan gang on Friday at College Fields. Tough track but fair as the fairways are generously wide. Lets do it again guys!

May 18th or 19th are the only available dates for me. Personally, I like the idea of doing it on a Friday (the 19th, perhaps) to kick off my weekend.

Who would be able to make a Friday, May 19, date?  Figure late morning to allow some travel time?

One of the group is working on compiling some courses and cost estimates but if we tentatively pick a date we can work the day into our calendars.

Not I, unfortunately. And fortunately, too, because…

May sucks mostly for that. I'll be gone the whole middle.

Count me in for now (barring a work issue) - although honestly I can likely work part of the day, as all of those courses are within 20 minutes of the office.

Alert, I like to smoke cigars when I play. But if anyone in my group is sensitive to smoking I will not smoke.

Doesn't bother me in the least.

You guys all seem pretty good. I'll struggle to break 100 on an unfamiliar course, but have no problem keeping up with pace of play.

I played Eagle Eye last year, it's beautiful and difficult. I wouldn't mind saving $26 and playing Hawk Hollow which is a well maintained track.

Just checked groupon.com.  They have a deal for "18-Hole Round of Golf with Cart for Four: Valid any time during the week. Valid starting at 1pm, Saturday and Sundays.  Promotional value expires Oct 15, 2017. Amount paid never expires. Limit 2 per person."  Price is $99 for four golfers, $55 for two.  With eight golfers it is a better deal than the senior rate (55yrs.+) of $29.  Web address for College Fields is https://www.collegefields.net/.

@MSchott we are in the middle of an attempt to organize an outing in the Lansing area. Review the thread and let us know if you may be interested.

Thank you. When you have some firm dates lined up, let me know and I will see if I can make it. As you know there are a number of fine courses in the area. I like Forest Akers West and College Fields. I haven't played Timber Ridge in 25 years but I remember it being quite nice.

We may have stumbled upon another member and I sent him a pm just now, @ignatiuswriter

Right now I am leaning toward College Fields on May 19. Cost and the fact that I have not played there (yes, a bit selfish but that's life ;-))

@tlazzol pointed out the Groupon deal, which we can use for 4, 6 or 8 players.  If we have an odd number, one of us can sign up as a senior.  The average cost per member would be $25 to $28.

I can purchase the Groupon deal(s) once we have a tentative head count.  If someone can't make it, I will have plenty of time to use the deals later this year.

A tee time around 10 am should give all of us some time to drive and somewhat avoid rush hour.  Or do you think 11 am is better?

      Ball Lost in the Rough

      By billchao · Posted

      I don’t understand why this concept is hard for people. If the ball is lost, it is lost. It doesn’t matter where they think it should be, or whether they feel like it should be lost. The bottom line is they don’t have a ball in play. I play with some people that will just drop with one stroke (if they even take a stroke at all). Frankly, I don’t care since it’s not a competition, but if they go bragging at the bar later that they shot “85” because I will call them out on it every time.

      I played in Open Qualifying about 25 years ago. I got to the last hole - I shan't share my score, but it wasn't good. It's a long uphill par 4 with the clubhouse just long left of the green. The clubhouse is out of bounds. I hit my second shot left and it got a firm bounce. Get up there and the clubhouse has a patio. Between the patio and a grass is a little channel filled with pebbles. In that channel is my ball. Channel is in play, but hardly ideal. About 8 inches behind my ball also in the channel is a sprinkler head. So I asked an official who happened to be on the patio whether I got relief or not. He had me set up to it and take a backswing. My club hit the sprinkler head (harder than I would have liked). He asked me to do it again (side note - WTF?) and I hit the sprinkler again. He begrudgingly gave me relief and I dropped it on the grass, pitched on the green and missed from about 8 feet. Holing it would have allowed me to break a certain score threshold I'd rather not flirt with. Following year, I played same course, same event and I played a LOT better. I birdied 17 to go back to even par for the day. Friend of mine told me it looked like even was playing off for last spot, but birdie on 18 would get me through (this was local qualifying, so through to final qualifying). I hit my drive in the heather right, went for it from there and pulled it heather left and wound up making double to not be in the play off (which wound up being about 8 people for 2 spots). But I digress - anyway, as I walked off 18 green I walked over to the patio where the scorers were and noticed that they had painted a white line on the grass next to that Channel, so they fixed my issue from the previous year, albeit in a way that would have been much more detrimental to my score.
