Nonesuch is pretty average. I'll play it but it is nothing special. Definitely a open track.

I'd probably play Sable Oaks, great layout just tough

Can we just go and hit balls at Roger Goodell's house?

Yea I'm leaning towards Sable Oaks if we are playing around the Cape Elizabeth area.

Somebody stop at Costco and pick up some toilet paper.

We will have to sort out some details for our group, @boogielicious, @Valleygolfer, and possibly @drmevo depending on the location. Time, date, course, etc. Is everyone ok with a weekday round or is weekend preferred? How far would everyone be willing to travel?

Weekday is better for me. Weekend is family time.

Probably the Tuesday. I don't think I can drop my daughter off on a Thursday and be back in time to pick her up. I don't have much of a support group here or I would get someone else to grab her...

In a way it would be better for me to work around a plan after it is set.

Unfortunately weekdays aren't too good for me since I'm already using a good bit of my PTO already this summer, unless it's an afternoon and I can just take off early from work. Do you know what dates are possibilities yet?

It will probably have to be during the week, but not sure about the time yet. I'm trying to accommodate as many people as possible (myself included).

We haven't finalized any excursions during the trip so for now everything is open. I know my family wants to do whale watching and a lobster boat thing so that will be two days I'm unavailable, whenever we book those.

Sounds good, obviously do whatever works best for your vacation plans. If I can somehow make it once plans are set I will.

Whale watches are a lot of fun, but I hope no one in your family is the least bit prone to sea-sickness, or that you get a very calm day out on the water.

Yea I read some horror stories...

Last time they all went whale watching was at my cousin's wedding in Cape Cod a number of years ago and they all liked it so they want to do it again. I missed it because I had to leave that vacation early.

Don't be too proud to take Dramamine or something. Unless you're on boats a lot, it can really help.

Yea everyone is going to take some as a precaution. My wife might be in trouble, she can get car sick.

Scapolamine patches are very effective too. She may need to get it from her doctor. Also, old sailing trick is to bring breadsticks or pretzels to snack on. For some reason, the salt and carbs settles the stomach.

Dramamine will kill any get up and go you have... Horrible stuff but beats ralphing all over the boat.

Yes. He comes back to Chautauqua in the summers sometimes.
