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.

I purchased a group golfer voucher for Timber Ridge for $25.   It's a nice course.

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?

      My Driver Is Cracked?

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I agree. I would have thought it would save them shipping costs. I will say, I don't really mind. I'm guessing the labor cost to remove the head and repack it is greater than the difference in shipping costs. I'm guessing Callaway has a deal with UPS because the shipping label they sent me only showed a cost of like 8 bucks and change. Feels like it would have costed me more to ship it.  When the guy I spoke to told me they were sending me a complete driver and I could choose to keep my old shaft or keep the new one, I was actually kind of excited. It was like a little driver shaft lottery. ... I didn't win though. The shaft I got was almost the same as the one I had just the R version instead of the S version. Mine's a 60 gram Hzrdus Black.  The other thing I kind of liked about it is that they shipped it the same day I talked to the guy. So it was fast.  Lastly, I'm pretty sure the guy I talked to was in California, and the driver definitely shipped to me out of Texas. That's also where I sent it back to.  So, overall, really I have no complaints.
