Angelo’s for a cheesesteak and the best pizza in the city

I’m not a roast pork guy, however, am a big fan of John’s Roast Pork’s cheesesteaks. That is my usual first choice although dalessandros is awesome - just much more difficult to get to if your wedding is in Center City

Does anyone know if the Crump Cup will be open to spectators this year, or where I would find that information?
I believe the only way to find out is to call Pine Valley and ask. I’ve heard rumors that they’re no longer allowing spectators on the final Sunday - they started during the pandemic and now it’s permanent.
Hey all 
, joined a few months back but just saying hi now. I’m in South Jersey (Cherry Hill/Collingswood area) and usually play Pennsauken, Rancocas, and Riverwinds. Also get over to PA occasionally (Wyncote/Jeffersonville).
If anyone ever wants to play a round somewhere then hit me up! I’m probably going out to try and get out somewhere next Monday.

I’m in Collingswood so we’ll have to get something planned. Welcome aboard!

Yeah let’s set something up! Where do you typically play at?

Normally played Pennsauken (before I saw they now charge $100 a round) given how close it is. Have some close buddies in Philly/Chadds Ford, so we normally travel around the area to play together. But recently joined Merchantville CC so I’ve been playing early morning 9s there this year.

Yeah I agree that Pennsauken isn’t worth that. I think I was able to walk 18 there for around $45 at twilight which wasn’t a bad deal.
How’s Merchantville? I’ve always been curious about it since it’s so close. Do they have a practice facility/range?
No driving range, but they have a chipping/pitching area (including 2 bunkers), and a putting green. It’s a fun quirky little course. It’s only 9 holes, but 3 of them set up completely differently if you are playing the “front” or the “back.” I’ve enjoyed it so far. Huge advantage is no tee times, so just able to drive over in 10 minutes and get out for a round at 6 a.m. Happy to host anyone who is interested in checking it out, just need to find a time.

If Rt 38 was pedestrian friendly Merchantville would be walking distance from my work. I’d love to get out one afternoon if your schedule allows.
Last call for 2 spots at Turtle Creek tomorrow, 2:48pm. If I don’t see any bites by 2pm or so today I’ll give those spots back to the course.
Next few weeks are hectic with work. Going on parental leave towards the end of July, which should make things more manageable. DM me and we can figure something out.

I don’t understand the irrational love for Dalessandro’s, and I have lived in the neighborhood for a decade. They’re rude, the line outside is long even in the worst of weather, there is no place to sit down, and the steak is average.
Do yourself a favor and go across the street to Chubby’s, where they’re friendly, serve you beer on tap, you can sit down, get your steak quickly, and they have curly fries.

I’m here for this take

I couldn’t agree more. Last time I was there was 3-4 years ago after hacking it around at Ace Club and I couldn’t leave fast enough. Thought the food was shit and the people were jerks. And this is from someone living in south Philly.

Hey all. I am moving to Bala Cynwyd right of City Ave by the LA fitness. I am currently in the NC Roost and have been only moderately involved as I am planning a wedding, moving, and was until recently severely limited by a torn Patellar Tendon. I am playing golf a lot and my index is finally starting to trend in the right direction. I’m very new to golf been playing for about 3 years (but really was only seriously playing for a year pre injury and have gotten back to normal about 3 months ago). Looking to get much more involved this August and will probably go MIA again in September when I get married but am hoping to be much more involved in 2024 and would love to join any roost groups chats or get out sometime in late July - mid August. Would appreciate any intel about the course scene or golf in general in the GAP. EDIT I am moving up July 14th. And will be flying solo until my Fiancee comes up Labor Day weekend

Welcome to the area. I am sure @MikeRevak , our fearless leader will get you hooked up. July 15th is our big tourny this year but that might be a little difficult the day after a move. Once you get into our forum group you will see people posting about playing weekly.
