Man, can you imagine a convention with the GolfWrx members? We could all get together for some fun, laughs, drinks and especially golf. I would book my ticket first thing.

That would be sweet, I think lots of WRXrs have made the PGA Merchandise show the unofficial WRX convention.

I would agree it would be a blast.
I am doing an outing here in AZ for the AZ guys, and a few of them mentioned doing some ryder cup style matches vs some of the surrounding states which would be fantastic, but an all out Golfwrx trip would be too good to pass up

That would be cool. Some lucky golf course would make ALOT of money that day thats for sure.

Really! It'd be almost like a clubs member/member invitational. With all the sponsors/reps we have on here they'd make a killing.

In a WRX outing the money would not be made just by the course but the closest proshop that stocks exotic shafts.

I cant wait till I get fitted and know more about all the intricacies and what nots of the different shafts. All I know is whatever shaft my driver/woods/irons have on them and I try and figure things out from there.

OK, I am just gonna throw this out there....we SHOULD do this. And I vote for the Pacific NW get the first dib in early August. Seriously....

I would be so into this....God, even like Arizona in late October....Someone take the reigns and fly!

It is a well known fact that So Cal has the best golf simply because you can golf 365 days a year (unless it's downpouring horrible rain).

This is true, but, you are in SOCAL!!

Which is exactly why we should have it here. So my lame/broke a$$ doesn't have to fly anywhere

HAHAHAHAAHAAA!!! Oh Cup, I feel your pain...

Ok, maybe true, but we have some of the best beer, and local whiskey / vodka / gin....not to mentio 12 - 15 days a year of perfect golf weather. lol

I'll drink to that.

We should have it at Bandon, 3 courses and I bet we could fill em all for a few days!!!

I was thinking a day at Pumpkin Ridge, maybe OGA course, Down to Bandon, back over to Central Oregon, (I have a connection to Pronghorn), and finish up at Glendoveer. Not to mentio alot of GREAT beer, and laughs. Kind of caravan around.

and why not notify them and have the club companies there for big demo days with their vans on the spot for building...pretty sure theyd make a few bucks on us

A demo day would be like shooting fish in a barrel!! Might as well have an ATM demo day too, i'm sure it would get a work out!

My head pro came from Pumpkin Ridge, I'm sure we could get a awesome deal!

Seems that with the 75,000 members here you could easily get enough to run regional events....maybe even get one of the putter companies to whip up an event cover or putter/cover combo. I would certainly be interested in an Ohio event.....as long as I don't have to plan it.

OK....with my wifes approval, I am going to spend some time over the next couple weeks and work on a Golfwrx.com NW event.....any ideas will be helpful. Hpefully I will have some things on the menu and concrete by St. Paddys day....

Let me know if you need any help. Being in the pro shop, I've helped put on a few events at my club so I know the ins/outs of tourney events.

OK...I live in Indy, as do several of us on this board. Anyone up for a "Great Lakes" or "Midwest" event? I'd be more than happy to touch base with the Indy Golfers (hint, hint, Shane!) and put our state's top 5/10 up against any other surrounding states (i.e, Illinois - can you say Cog Hill?; Ohio - Longerberger, are you still out there?; Kentucky - can we get on at Vallhalla?).

For public courses, we have The Fort (Pete Dye), Kampen (Pete Dye), Purgatory, Brickyard Crossing, etc. I've been north-to-south.....thanks to a well-off father.....and we have all the courses anyone else can offer.

How about a poll of every states' Top 5, and may the "best" course win. Sorry...I love my local muni (Pleasant Run - props to Denny Ford) but they don't qualify in this horse race!

What'd ya say???

seriously you think you have the best whiskey in socal. come to north alabama and see what we have around this area (I.E. Jack daniels) and if you have never had good moonshine before your missing out.

I think it would be awesome to do state vs state (or province) events.

Have like a WGC bracket lol where states play states close to one another.

Actually, I live in Oregon, and although JD is great, and the south has some great alcohol, the craft whiskey out here, as well as the Blended (Pendelton) is pretty good, and can hold it's own....

Now socal, they have a tough time making anything but gang fights and car chases any good. (I am just kidding)

That's true. Take for instance, last year, when Summer fell on the second week of August.

I'm in IL....(50 miles south of Chicago and 2 hrs north from Indy)........I know several of "us" that would participate here and even be up for traveling. Mayber I'll work on a Midwest event. Also, I just got back from Scottsdale and am looking at buying a home there so I'd be up for something in that area too.

Dibs on your master bedroom in either place. You can share if you'd like.

Why not set up a poll of the various regions and how far everyone would be willing to drive or fly... that'll give everyone a good idea of where the "center of gravity" of the membership is...

Just a thought- I'd go, but I'd want to drive instead of fly- that limits me to a local 4 state region in the northeast.

I say Colorado in September around beer festival, Golf and all the beers around the world!! Heck, your a mile high up and the buzz will kick in faster!!! We can play at The ridge in Castle pines.( Troons course)

Nothing for the east coast? I guess Ohio is sort of close to Maryland. Maybe my buddy and I could get there as long as there is wife approval. Just don't expect good scoring at all, because that is flat out not gonna happen.

Actually, there's a possible Mid-Atlantic Outing in the next couple months, I think. Probably held in Pennsylvania near Harrisburg.

I'm in Michigan and would be up for something in the Great Lakes area....

I'd love the event. We could set up a Hogan secret king of the ring cage match. We could have a "WITB Show" kind of like a car show where everyone sets up their clean, shiny, custom paintfilled/finished, exotic shafted clubs for all to see. We could have "Speed Certified" tee times where we can send off groups in quick order to see whether or not all of these claimed 3 hour rounds can be done. And the coup de grace would be a driving range set up to measure distances to get "Golf WRX Distance Certified" so we can avoid all those threads arguing over whether claimed distances are real or fake. Seriously, it would be nice to mingle with other insanely addicted golfers for a few days. We probably would need a spa near by for all the wives to get pampered and make fun of us though. I can see them swapping stories of how we all think we're getting away with all those long rectangular packages always showing up at the house.

Decent local hotels and eateries are a MUST. I'm not staying in a dump in the boonies just because someone thinks the local course is great...

It doesn't have to be a 5 star resort, but Hilton, Sheraton, Marriot, etc. would be fine. At least business class stuff...

Sorry, I'll shut up now.

This is a pretty awesome idea....though I agree that regional type events would be the best in terms of total traveling. For all the north-east-coasters here....I'd throw out the suggestion of Nemacolin Woodlands Mystic Rock course. Beautiful course, former host of a PGA tour stop (84 Lumber Classic), and completely public. Not a bad trip from OH, MD, WV and such.

great idea.... i would go no matter where it was... i think itd be funny to see who really is a "+2" handicap... lol... no but really i think its an awesome idea...

on a side note anyone in NC or SC... idk how many of us there are on this site... but i think if there's a good number like i think there are we should all get together and play a round or two...

Im in New Zealand.....Id play anyone who came here! haha

I am afraid that this would turn out like Brad Paisley's "I'm a lot cooler online." I see guys that claim to have Tour heads with Ozik shafts showing up with Ram Package sets. I see guys that claim to have every Cameron ever made showing up with Slotline Inertial putters.

I'd travel anywhere in the US...as long as it's some place with great weather. This would be so cool. I'd just love to meet all the guys/gals on here that we "speak" to every day. Imagine if we could do this every year...!

I'm in... I hear Key West is nice this time of year...

Keep us posted!

I am in Michigan and would LOVE to do an outing somewhere. Midwest or National (Just need some time to plan)

Just check out the Golf Style- Courses, etc. Section on the main forum. From there, go into the Mid-Atlantic WRX section and look around.
