Hi all, I finally decided to check out the NLU website after following along for the last few years. I’m over the bridge in South Jersey. I usually play my local public course (Pitman GC) and am taking lessons with Bob Cardea at Big Swing. I’ve played Riverwinds before, and would like to try a few other courses in the area this summer, most notably Running Deer and Town & Country. I’m usually playing as a single so I’d love to try to meet up with some more folks and hopefully get to play more this summer.

Been wanting to check out T&C ever since @7evanUP told me about it. Maybe we can get out sometime with @yungloudancolin and @the.marc.christopher too for a foursome.

I’ve said above in this thread, and in my bones, I know it to be true, the city is going to screw up the restoration of Cobbs. The powerful combination of incompetence, corruption, bureaucracy, and stupidity can not be overcome despite the best intentions and efforts of the folks working to get the restoration done. I hope I’m wrong about this, but here’s just another example… the F’ing Art Commission just voted 9-0 to deny permits. The ART COMMISSION!

In the last 10 minutes i have flip flopped so many times on this article. First, why is the art commission involved when their main gripe is environmental concerns. Initially I was pissed that they needed to demolish 100 acres of trees. Then I see that they ALREADY DID IT, and the majority of it was for creek restoration and flood control. Only 14 acres were for new buildings. And they had zoming board approval for the removal. After voting to deny permits, the commission says that the tree issue isn’t even in their scope of review. So what the hell is going on here.
You sir are correct that the city is going to screw this up. But my god, those renderings look sick. If only I trusted that half of that would be built in the next 10 years.

T&C is a trip. Had a good time there with the Philly roost two weeks ago.
@dleonard1122 and everyone else - the Philly Roost is a thing and our captain @MikeRevak has gotten us together 2 times so far (and a 3rd coming up this week). If you’re not a part of our Roost section of the message board give a holler and we can get you sorted so you can get in on the action.

I just made my tee time for Friday at T&C. Excited to check out what I’ve been missing out on.
The trees thing is kind of a bummer, but the place was completely overgrown. And if the general public could accept that it’s actually a restoration of something that could conceivably be a great asset to the area (obviously the jury is still out on that) it makes a lot of sense. Old photos of the course look very different in terms of trees obviously. Also, honestly as a golfer seeing some of what it already looks like without the tree is SICK.
Can someone post up the article and/or pics? This is behind a paywall for me.

Good call. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. Thanks.

Y’all think some commissioners just looking for a little pocket change? As a native Detroiter, Philly bureaucracy and governance makes me feel like I never left home!

Damn! I close that day. Sorry dude.
Former Philly resident now back in my native Scotland…
I’m visiting Philadelphia and the Midwest for my 40th September. I’d like to play Jeffersonville while I am over if anyone is interested. Likely dates in town will be 9/8-11 and 9/29-30.

I know this is absurdly far in advance, but wanted to see if there was any interest here. Going to try and get a post-work round at Jeffersonville on 5/20. Probably around 5:30ish if anyone cares to join. I’ll grab a 4-some and will adjust as needed.
I’m 95% sure I’m free to join in for 5/20!
