I stole this idea from another site, I hope you all will enjoy it.  In reading some of the threads about member get-togethers, I thought about how far some of us will travel to attend.  Which in turn made me wonder about where some of my TST friends live.  So I created a map in Google Maps, and added my home golf club, as well as my primary vacation spot.  The link is here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NwaKZanJPQ1wXT_ysLN7csLjEZg&usp=sharing

I think it would be fun if the members here wanted to add themselves to the map.  The directions from Google are:

  1. Open a new or existing map in My Maps.
  2. In the left panel, click the layer you want to use. The selected layer will be blue on the left edge.
  3. Search for the business, address, or point of interest that you want to add. ...
  4. To add that pin to your layers, click "add to map"
  5. Once you've added it, you can edit the name to indicate your user name

I'm not looking for home addresses or anything so specific, maybe a home town or home course.  We might find out that we have online friends who're much closer in real life than we ever thought.  I hope I've set this up so that anyone who uses the link will be able to add themselves, without having to sign into a Google account.  If you have problems, let me know and I'll try to work them out.

 

I added Mission Trails.

I didn't do anything with "layers". Why do we need to define a layer?

 

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

You don't, your location shows up just perfect, thanks.

I had forgotten all about Mission Trails. I used to live in Tierrasanta which is not far. I normally played Admiral Baker. Those prices are certainly reasonable. Mission Trails would be a good alternative for @No Mulligans but he probably already knows that.

Haven't played it.  I will.  Another notch in my belt (I have logo balls from everywhere I play which I started a couple of years ago, I'm at 29)

I'm in. Good idea.

 Or not. Must have done it wrong.

 

Here's how I did it.  First search for the desired location, in the box near the top of the map.  If more than one thing comes up, select the right one.  You should end up with a " box", pointing to the location.  Inside that box, click "+ Add to map".  THEN inside the box, click the "edit" icon, looks like a little pen along the bottom row.  You can edit the label for that location, something like DaveP043 plays golf at....."

 Thanks Dave. I got it to stick. Lost the label part though.

I got it there for you.  Now sure why it didn't work, I ended up deleting yours and inserting a new point, and it worked.  First one in Iowa, congratulations!

DaveP,

I clicked onto the URL in your original posting box, and I got your master map - but I couldn't interact with it.

Then, I logged onto my Google account and created my own MyMap, and marked my golf club on it. But, couldn't figure out how to transfer my map data to your master map. I'm using Google Chrome, one of the three preferred browsers for MyMaps.

Any hints on how I can get locator pin on your master map? (The MyMaps How-To link was useless.)

Focus, connect and follow through!

I think it will work if you sign on to your google account, and then went go to the link I provided.  Even if you go to the link, and then sign on, you'll see an EDIT button appear.

I just checked, and somehow the settings got changed.  I've set it now so that anyone who has the link to the map is allowed to edit it.  I'm not sure its working right, but if you can't get it to work, send me the info and I'll add it.

The Map has a search feature, enter the golf course and select it.

I've added WU Tiger - Stone Wolf Golf Club
Your original link on page 1 has sharing, nothing wrong with it.

For others - The Label feature I believe creates new categories,
An Example would be displaying courses in Ohio or Men's Golf Clubs in Texas

I added my home course, think I did it right.  It's neat to see where everyone plays.

DaveP and Club Rat,

I'm on the map now. Thanks.

And, I had never seen MyMaps before. A useful tool for many things.

I think I'm having an iPhone moment. When I click the map link in the first post it jumps to the google map app and there are no visible pins even if I zoom out to show from the Pacific to the Atlantic. So I don't think the app is showing the same map (or layers?) that others are seeing. Oh well, I suspect an app issue so this might be a non-phone thing for me. I use the phone map app too much to disable it and force the link to only open in a browser window.

Thanks Dave.  Great Ideal!  I am pretty far east but not as far north as Philly out in Washington St. We are indeed heavy on the East side of the continent. Good to see where everyone plays

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind.
