Portland Maine Trip August 2017

[billchao]

Here is the updated itinerary for my week...

 

 

 

 

...

The family wants to kind of wing it and not commit to anything too far in advance in case of weather, mood, or whatever. Perfectly reasonable, just a bit odd for me because my wife and I like to vacation in Disney and we plan things months in advance.

Anyway I think the current plan is for me to decide on golf and they will work around it, so what's good for everyone as of now?

All I need is a few days in advance. Some days are a no go but let me know and I can let you know.

Weekend is definitely out for me. I'm coming up on Sunday and leaving the following Sunday, so Saturday will be the last full day and I'm sure they will want to do stuff together.

You mentioned earlier that Tuesday is good for you? I can go with Tuesday if everyone else can.

Tuesday can work. A late morning or early afternoon would be ideal. The latter being the best.

Tuesday works for me.

Are we playing Sable Oaks? I checked pricing and it's $32 before noon and $25 after for walking. The electric cart rentals are $16. I like walking but have never walked the track. I had a buddy who always got free golf there  .

I'm fine with Sable Oaks if others are, would prefer it actually since it's closer to where I'm staying. BTW you're looking at the wrong season. It's $38 and $33, not $32 and $25.

I usually prefer to walk, but I'm going to ride to save myself having to pack my pull cart.

@boogielicious are you ok with the location? Would early afternoon work for you?

@drmevo is Sable Oaks too far out for you to be able to join?

I think it will be a bit far for me to make an early afternoon time. Enjoy guys!

Doh. I thought that seemed cheep. I can see if my buddy in Portland can play if we don't have a fourth.

It's fine with me. I'm going to ride because of my knee, but I can bring my push cart if you want to walk. I can do anytime. I'm taking the day off.

I understand, maybe another opportunity will present itself in the future. Thanks for all your advice and suggestions.

I'm fine with that if @boogielicious is.

Ok let's do early afternoon on Tuesday. How early can you make it by, @Valleygolfer?

No need to bring your push cart, let's just ride.

@billchao and @boogielicious my buddy Dave is going play with us. He used to be a member at Sable so he can help us with the track. He's a super nice guy and fun to play with.

Sounds good. Looks like I can make a tee time starting tomorrow.

Cool.

I took a look on Game Golf at the course. Definitely looks tight with plenty of hazards. Key for me is going to be staying smart with my strategy and not getting aggressive, and of course executing shots.

Should be fun. I'll bring a dozen balls, just in case
