I know there are a few of us from Washington or nearby.  It seems everywhere else has done some type of meet up.  Is there any interest in trying to get together this summer for a round?  A few options regardless of price: The Home Course (South Seattle), Chambers Bay (South Seattle), Wine Valley (Spokane), Loomis/Semiahmoo (North Bellingham), Eaglemont (where I work :-D, South Bellingham).  Lots of others.  I can try talking to private facilities, but that may be pushing the limit, unless one of you are at a facility that can accommodate us.

I'd certainly be interested -- I live in Edmonds and have been a member of the North Bellingham club for a few years just b/c I have some buddies that play up there (and north sound golf south of B'ham generally sucks).

Anywhere is good with me

Where do you typically play?  I used to play North Bellingham a lot when I lived in Bham, but I'll get there maybe a dozen times a year now.  It's one of my favorites in the Bham area, except when it's a windier day then it's no fun. haha!

I'm just across the border in BC, but I'd be interested as well. I've played some great courses in WA, including some of the ones mentioned.

I am in the Portland area and would be up to drive to Chambers Bay for a round. It's on my list to play this year.

June 11th is not available for me, but if others are good with that date, I can still try to help set it up if need be.

Boy, Chambers Bay in the summer would be fun but it gets quite pricey.  I may be able to get us a decent price but it's still high.  I'm good with that if others are, though.  

Are there any other courses people would like to try and play? And what months/days are people open to?

Hello.  I live in Spokane and I there is at least one other member from this area.  It doesn't seem like a NW meet-up has materialized but I'd be interested in one.  I'm a member at the Kalispel Country Club in Spokane if anyone is out this way and would like to get together.  It's the former Spokane Country Club which was founded in 1898 but was bought by the Kalispel Tribe out of bankruptcy last year.  Great course if you're in the area. 

Also, everyone here seems to want to play Gamble Sands... Wine Valley is in Walla Walla not Spokane.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
