It was great to meet everyone that participated.   I had a great time even though I didn't play well.   The course was great, the new friends were great, the golf.... Now let's discuss the weathe

It was great meeting everyone and a lot of fun. I got to see @MSchott hit almost every fairway and @Braivohole one out from 60 yards with his last shot of the day. @bkuehn1952, I'm not sure who t

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!

I'm pretty sure I can make it - and I like your rush hour traffic in Lansing joke.
I have a 20 minute drive to get there (22 during rush hour), and maybe 7 minutes if I go into the office first.

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?

@JonMA1 @dennyjones @Braivo @Wally Fairway @MSchott 

I'm retired..   Either time works for me.   I'm an early riser..

Okay, we have 5 commitments (including myself).  @tlazzol has purchased a Groupon 4-some.  If we stay at 5, I can just sign up as a senior.  If we have 6, @tlazzol has another 2-some Groupon but we may need to pretend we are two groups.

The earliest I can book a tee time for May 19 online is May 5 so that will be my responsibility.  If we pickup 1-2 more players, I am sure we can fit in everyone.

Consider me a soft commitment at this point. I start a new job on Monday and I am not sure I can get the time off yet. I will let you know as soon as I get confirmation.

No problem.  We will make two tee times and if we get 5,6,7 or 8, everything will work out. The one thing none of us should stress about is golf.  Unless we all turn out to be complete jerks, I have to believe we will have another "outing' in 2017.

@bkuehn1952 - looks like I qualify for the senior rate. I'd be happy to use that instead of the groupon deal.

I also qualify for the senior rate.

If you don't mind an old man with a higher h'cap than the rest of you, I might be interested.  Would be nice to put some faces with the names on here.

You're welcome to join @StrayCat.... and you won't have the highest handicap if I show up.

Friday's are not great but I can take the day off if needed. 10am would be better than 11am for me.

Okay, right now we are aiming for Friday, May 19 at 10am - College Fields.  @tlazzol has graciously purchased Groupon deals, for which we will reimburse him at the course.  We may need two people to present the deals.  We have several "Seniors" so the cost should be $29 or less for 18 and cart.  There are walking rates so anyone wanting to walk can do so.  I have not played the course so I can't comment on the terrain.

Firm "Yes": @bkuehn1952 @tlazzol @Wally Fairway @dennyjones @JonMA1

Soft "Yes":   @Braivo @StrayCat @MSchott 

If everyone can make it, that would make a perfect 8.

On or about May 5, I will check back in, get a rough headcount, and setup the tee times for approximately 10:00am, May 19.  I suspect we do not risk anything with last minute cancellations.

If you haven't played Arcadia Bluffs yet, Tuesdays are half off for seniors (55 and up), $100.00.  Amazing course!

I have the scheduled the day off from work. The only thing that might stop me from playing would be if my arm injury becomes debilitating - I mean more so than my lack of skill. Either way, I'll pay up (thanks @tlazzol).

Speaking of lack of skill, is everyone ok playing with a high capper? If not, I'll understand completely and you won't hurt my feelings by saying so. 

Otherwise, I'm looking forward to it.

I'm not a single digit handicap player either.   I'm looking forward to meeting everyone, including you.  Looking at the score card, I'm sure I'm not playing from the tips.

I play regularly with a friend you would beat like a drum.  You are welcome in my foursome.  Just don't laugh out loud at my shots.

      Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
