Hewitt on TMI

I just have to poke my head in these threads and say 'Hi Jon!'   

LOL.  We're both so predictable.

Incidentally, I'm not using my GPS much at all.  Since I joined a private club and play the same course a lot, I don't need it.  Didn't use it at DS either 

But I may use it on my next trip when I play some completely new courses

66 days, 0 hours, 16 minutes, 3 seconds and counting.

No GPS + no rangefinders + no carts + great golf + great courses + great food + great pints + great company =

Oooooooo - I'd love to play Bandon 

Can't make it this year, but whats the routine?  How many days, how many people, games, etc.?

Three days.  Four nights with the last one near the airport in Eugene or Portland.  Golf is Pacific twice and Bandon once. 

So far we've had 4 people once and 2 people twice.  Three this year. 

We're trying to get exact multiples of four.  It's becoming harder and harder to get the reservations if you're not on the ball.  The first year Clive got us totally hooked up for December in October (I think).  The next year July put us on a wait list for the room.  This year late May put us on a wait list and we're still trying to get one tee-time straightened out for Clive.  We're planning on making next year's reservation on the way out the door after this year's last round.

We always shoot for the first full weekend of December in order to get the screaming deal.  That means the first night in the room has to be Dec. 1st or greater.  You can't stay Nov. 30th, play golf on the 1st for the first time and still get the deal.

Open invitation to be honest.  The only thing is trying to organize this can be a pain if people aren't committed as deposits are required.  Serious inquiries accepted via P.M.

2008 will probably be three days of golf somewhere within Dec. 5-8 with either the 5th or the 8th a travel day.  Obviously the 4th or the 9th will also be a travel day.  Unless you're within driving distance of course.

I'm jealous. It's been 2 1/2 years since I was out there. I absolutely loved it.

I played with Fuzz, and he has a GPS dealie.  I did like it, and the yardages he gave did influence my club selection.  If I was playing with him again, I would ask him for some distances.

The way I read the article was more of the "Techno Gadget Guy" running around with his gizmo and forcing yardages at every one because he could/and thought it was his obligation.  I mean after all, that's what he bought if for right?  'Cause you and I need him.

This is where I agree with Hewitt. 

FTR, Fuzz is nothing close to that.

 

Thanks Mike. I've always been a "I'll ask for advice when I want it" type of person on the golf course.

But I look forward to the day I play with Uisce.

I have one word for you.  Eight dash one.

That is a trip I have wanted to take with my dad. I may have to talk to him about it. Of course he mentioned to me that he wants to go to Orlando, wants to see the boys at Disney while they are still young. Torn between two loves.
