  I've been in the shadows reading the posts as well.  As Carolina Golfer 2 eluded, I'm up to my 45.5" G15 driver in wet and "other" diapers so my time has been limited.  Although, while at the Verizon store the other day, I got some funny looks as I used the baby carrier (yes with baby inside) as a swing tool to groove my take-away   No worries on the baby, he was buckled in     We do need to get a group outing together though!

CG2-  I don't post much but I do lurk regularly.  Hopefully you can squeeze some Daddy time in, I feel your pain as it wasn't that many years ago that I was in your shoes.  If you limit your UNC gear to a hat or a shirt you will probably make it through all 18, no promises.

Terp!!  LOL!!  Ok, I'll keep it to a minumum.  Actually other than a couple polos I don't have a whole lot of Carolina garb.  My last trip down last May I didn't have time to make it over to Franklin Street where most of the good shops are.

As for the Daddy time, you must be thinking of MDHacker who just had his second kid and is busy changing diapers on him and running around after his 3 year old.    Me I don't have any kids (at least that I've been told about )   It's been mostly a busy work schedule that will keep me busy through August most likely.

Sorry about the mix up CG2, I guess if I would get out and play with you guys it might help me keep everyone straight.

  I saw that article.  I believe it said that the course was acquire some private equity firm from VA.  Business as usually from the article but with improvements in landscaping, kitchen equipment (?) and maybe new golf carts.

No worries.  You had me worried for a moment though. I thought maybe there was a woman out that had some news she hadn't shared with me

But it would be great to get out with you sometime.

I picked up a golf couse industry magazine and they were listing the courses that had closed or were losing money or being picked up at a huge loss for the owners.  Musket Ridge was one of them.  Is it still open?

yep it's still open.  it was bought  recently by a new company.  However, it better stay open for at least another 6 weeks as we are having an outing there!!

a question for everybody....I have several sets of irons. For example, I have the clubs that Phil used to play, the yonex adx.  They had stiff boron grpahite shafts.  Are they worth anything or should I just give them to a local high school..which brings up the question...would today's kids want to play with a set that has a 3 iron, smaller heads.?  I also have a set of Hogan radials, steel shafts, 3-gw....Would it even be worth the shipping to give them to somebody?  Seems like a waste to just leave them out in the garage.

hmm. im somewhat close to md. where do you guys play at?

Welcome AF...
We play all over really.   A lot of times it's just an impromtu round during the week close to work for many of us.  Which would be Waverly Woods or Timbers at Troy.  Other times we may plan a weekend outing a couple weeks in advance and end up with 2 or 3 groups.

In those cases we try to make it somewhat accessable to NOVA guys as well.   So we do Musket Ridge a lot or one of the other Frederick area courses.   We have done NOVA courses as well.   Laurel Hills, Raspberry Falls and Old Hickory.  

Usually someone will throw out a day and course and see who's interested.  Feel free to chime in and suggest any dates in times in this thread.   That's what it's all about.

What are some of your favorite places?

Well since I'm a poor college student I only splurge about once a month otherwise it's at Quantico for $8. But Forest Greens, Old Hickory, The Gauntlet, and Pohick Bay. I'm trying to get out to Bull Run, Cannon Ridge, Virginia Oaks and Raspberry Falls this summer.

HA!!  No worries, I'm a struggling working guy.  I actually was going to be down in the F'Burg area later this month and was thinking about getting a round in at Cannon Ridge.   it might be a mid to late afternoon weekday thing, I don't know the details yet, but keep an eye out I'll post here as time gets closer (toward the end of the month).

[Boogaloo_Jones]

Just dropping in, I didnt post much at the other one, but I noticed that it wasnt around anymore and then I saw CG2's opening statement.  Just seeing how everyone's been doing and if you guys have gotten any rounds in despite the weather man/woman telling us that its gonna be 70 degrees partly sunny only to rain the entire day (like this past sunday).  

I've gotten some rounds in and Lil bennett is playing real nice, greens are firm and FAST...even in the rain it felt like they were rolling to a 9 or 9.5!

Iona...good to see you post.   I know what you mean about Sunday.  I was originally upset I had to work so I was going to miss out on a supposedly nice day to play.  It was cloudy and cool when I came into work and cloudy and cool when I went home, so I didn't feel too bad!!

We should try and hook up at Timbers or somewhere

  I don't believe the local high schools would appreciate those clubs, but the local first tee program or even better, the give2troops or similar organization most likely would.

Hey guys,

Hope everyone is doing great

Quick question for you all, have you guys been able to get out to play?  I know you guys had that rough winter now it seems like you guys have been hit with rain constantly.  Listening to Steve Czaban this morning and he said he hasn't played a round back in DC since he came back from Vegas for March Madness.

If I was back there and still volunteering at Brambleton, it sounds like I would have an extended break.

Anyway, hope you guys get some nice weather.

[AFSFK]

It finally stopped raining. We've had about 2 weeks of nice weather now

[titleistman66]

Let me know if you guys ever come out to Falls Road in Potomac. Shoot me a PM we can either tee it up or I'll make you some food, I work in the grill & bar there!

Hey CG2....yeah...Sunday was just a bad day...so you didnt miss out too much.  Definitely trying to get a round in at Timbers again...let me know if you're going to have any openings soon and I'll see if I "get sick" at work all of a sudden lol.

Hey Nova...Good to hear from you.  You pretty much hit it on the head about the weather.  I've gotten 3 18 hole rounds in this year.   The last one was about two weeks ago on a Monday afternoon at Worthington Manor they had an all you can play after 2:00 special.   Got out with Terp.

I know Czabe pretty well, and you're right he hasn't been out much at all this year with his new schedule and the weather not cooperating.   He has a trip to Pinehurst coming up that he asked me to go on , but I just couldn't becaue of my schedule this month.

But it looks like we're catching a break this week with the weather mid 70's and sunny all week.

[Carolina Golfer 2]

Hey Guys I was out of the area for several days over the past week.  The news on Gary Williams broke when I was gone, and initial reports were that they were going to hire Sean Miller out of AZ.  But it sounds like he just used the opening to get a new contract.

So where would you Terp fans like to see them go with this move?   Any exciting names out there?

Clearly Phil Jacksn is the only logical choice...

LOL!!  You know I thought that earlier today....If he really wanted to see what coaching without a lack of stars was like, this would be the job for him!!   If he got this team to the NCAA, he could be called the greatest coach of all time.
