OT: Golf 2.0

Responses have obviously been a little limited for August so no action has been taken. I do appreciate and note those that took the time to respond.

As it seems September may work better, we'll try this again. There's all of one day in September I can make it so that's the one I'm organizing. If it doesn't work for ya, someone else will have to try with a different date. Hopefully it doesn't snow before we get this done.

New date: Saturday, September 11, Bridges Golf course, Time TBD. Responses Required no later than Wednesday, September 01. Best Ball Format ok? (for those that want to score you can still play your ball/normal round, just participate in the group)

@ps241
@Mud Turtle
@Eyeseeing
@John Agar
@Jets 31
@kanadalainen
@Gil Fisher
@SUX2BU
@JetsWillFly4Ever

I don't remember who else showed initial interest; due apologies for not @ you.
I can't make that work but everyone have fun.
 
Played Neepawa Sunday, Monday. Beauty golf course but man the greens were slow, not used to that at all and my scores showed that. :laugh:
 
OK, generally a bad date chosen, nobody has really responded affirmatively, Banjo Bowl. No HFJets golf tourney this year. Obviously there are other dates in September but my weekends are booked full aside from the date I proposed so if someone else wants to pick up the torch then go for it and have fun. Maybe next year will be better; we can certainly plan earlier.

Sorry I hadn’t gotten back to you in this option Buggs. I am locked into the Banjo bowl day taking kids and cousins. I still think getting together to golf is a great idea at some point and I appreciate the work you guys are doing on it.

Hey... the thought was great...

Thanks for trying to get it together Buggs...

Played in a scramble at St B Wednesday. I was horse shit off the tee box as usual (not sure if this is now permanent) but lit it up from inside 130. Thank god we didn’t need my driver. Really great day on the links. I seem to be discovering how to enjoy golf while playing badly for the first time in my life.

Driving Range at Southwood was really nice this season. Was in great shape and really close to my office. Also great for practicing in the wind. Only made it inside the facilities twice though, once to buy the membership, once to buy tees.

Will join again next season if I don’t have to buy a full membership.
 
I really hope some of you guys have got out to golf over the last few days of insane weather.

Golfed last weekend and have a couple of rounds coming up this weekend. Shit we are supposed to have nice weather all next week too! Really glad I signed up for a early bird special at Rossmere (for 2022) got to get some ‘bonus’ golf for Sept-Oct. Amazing weather.

Went to the range last night, surprisingly few people out on such a gorgeous evening but more mosquitoes than I was expecting.
 
Nothing like sweating on the golf course at the very end of September , just unreal weather. Now up to 110 games for the season, i like getting my moneys worth when you are a member. :nod:

Was supposed to golf at Mars today but I had a really lousy reaction to my second Shingles vaccine. Really rough night: freezing cold but sweating so much the blankets were actually wet, like a cloth. Joints were aching something fierce, terrible headache and zero energy. Went to bed at 10 last night and got up at 12:30. Never have had a reaction to a vaccine before other than a sore arm but that one ticked every box on the possible side effects range.

Golfing River Oaks tomorrow, so some small consolation after missing Mars.

That does not sound like a very good night at all, 22 and sunny tomorrow with not much wind though. Great day for golf. :nod:

Greens were punched last week but are getting better every day, by next Thursday they should be pretty good.

With my skills I’d prefer them freshly punched then I could blame my lousy skills on something tangible :laugh:

Today on this glorious October day I took my son to the Southwood driving range and it was absolutely magic. The day could not have been more beautiful. I really hope my thread peeps found a way to make Golf happen today.

87 is good, you got it in you, now you just have to figure out how to do that more. 81 is my best this year and 100 is my worst .:laugh:
