Damn - I hate missing these, but that weekend doesn't work for me.  I have family in town, and Pirates tickets for Saturday night.

[klineka]

Ahh man! Thats the only weekend in August I wont be home. My parents are coming in from out of town and we are going out to the wifes family's lake house Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon.

If by chance the dates change then I'd be in for sure. 

I'm bummed I was really forward to meeting some of you guys.

[mcanadiens]

Not 100% sure, but I can probably make at least one of those days.

[mcanadiens]

Oh and to add one thought.

The closer it is to Troy (west of C-Bus) the more probable I can do both.

[klineka]

@georgep @iacas @saevel25 how firm is that weekend for everyone?

@mcanadiens is there a different weekend that would work better for you?

Like I had mentioned last night, that is the only weekend the entire month I won't be available. If the date is firm I understand I'll just try to make the next one.

As long as it's in the area, I can be pretty flexible. The one exception is the weekend of my club championship which I think is Aug 5-6.

It's probably going to be toward eastern Columbus.

Pretty firm, because a) it's a month out, and b) I get really busy with the college team after that.

It may not happen this year, but… nobody really stepped up to organize anything.

Not surprised. Had to try you know.

[Slice of Life]

I have a gig on the 19th so it'll be a late 3 am night for me. 

I can't commit 100% to Sunday, but I'll put my hat in the ring as a maybe. As it gets closer I'll figure out if I can pull off the 2.5-3 hrs of sleep before driving down there.

[iacas]

@georgep is looking to finalize details tonight. We'll have this even with just eight participants due to the late notice.

[klineka]

Good news guys! My parents travel plans changed so Im free that weekend so Im 100% in, add me to the list.

Im not sure if I'll do both rounds or just one, do we know if both rounds are going to be at the same course or different ones? And which course/s?

[mcanadiens]

I'm a definite for the Saturday round. 

The Sunday round is going to be dependent on location and cost. I've got to be able to drive home Saturday night. Also, if the greens fees are upwards of $70, the budget won't allow a second round.

Course information is now listed in the OP.

We'll have a mix of the old and new for this get together.

Dating to 1924, Dennison (formerly Granville GC) has some brutal greens when they're rolling fast. There's a definite Donald Ross feel to most of the course. It's one of my favorites in the area. 

Northstar is relatively new (just 10 years old) and was designed by John Cook. It can stretch to 7,500 yards and has some holes that can really beat you up. If you're not hitting it straight off the tee, you may want to bring an extra sleeve or two. 

Hope you can join us! Add your name to the list and whether you can make one day or both.
