I’m in SIC/Wildwood most weekends as well. I would be down to play down there sometime

Hey all, new nest member here! Been listening to the show for almost 2 years and finally pulled the trigger. Looking to see how many other folks from Jersey are here. Also need help with picking a roost as I live right on the dividing line of electric phactory and RACDG metro and not sure which one has more NJ events.
Cheers!

Hey man! As of this Season… the farthest NE event we have on the books is Makefield Highlands in Yardley, PA. If you’re more NE of there, it’s entirely possible NYC might have some closer stuff for you.

Oooh that one is close - what is the date for that one?
June 29th!
New Nest member here! Been listening to the pod for years and glad I finally got on here, seems like a great community. I live in Bucks County and I’m always looking for new people to play with. 7 handicap but based on my only round this year, I’m playing like a 15 so I’m a perfect mark right now.

Welcome! I’m in Bucks and playing worse than my handicap also! Play most of my golf at Makefield Highlands but tend to bounce around all over the place. Our roost season for the Electric Phactory is about to begin, so if you’re interested in some friendly competition @MikeRevak is your guy.
I also mentioned earlier in the thread most of our crew have moved primarily off of the refuge and onto our slack as far as organizing games goes. Here’s the link to join (hope this works): Slack

Thanks! Makefield is a great course that usually kicks my ass. It gets windy as hell up there. My go-to spots are usually Five Ponds, Pinecrest, Bucks Club, Lederach, etc… always down to travel a bit as well.
Slack link worked for me. I’ll make a quick intro there as well. @MikeRevak I’m always in for some competition too.

How is Five Ponds? I’ve seen it a few times when looking to get out, have heard great things, but never made it up there.
Five Ponds is solid. Nothing crazy good or bad, except maybe the 8th hole. (One of those forced layups leaving you 200 in to a par 4 types).
I haven’t played Lederach in years, that was always a fun time.

It’s a fun course. Nothing too crazy but has a good mix of tough and easy holes so anyone can get out and have a good time. Gets a ton of play but they keep it in pretty good shape. Pace is usually okay, at least for public weekend golf in PA.
I actually don’t hate the 8th hole if you play from the back tees. I think it’s 300 to the creek and then you have 160 in or so. If you hit a bad drive you’re completely boned which gives it some teeth.
Lederach is one of my favorites course-wise, but idk how much I’ll try to get out there this year. Tee times are stacked right on top of each other, and they have some… very elderly gentlemen working the shop and as rangers who just can’t keep up with it so the pace was horrific last summer. Like, 25 minutes delayed on the first tee and then 5.5 hour round type-of-horrific multiple times.
Ouch, yeah that sounds brutal. Happy to join you for an early round though, maybe we can beat the crowds. I’ll never forget the first time there the starter said “this is a links course” and I laughed my ass off as it was very soggy bentgrass. That said, fun place.

Hello “Philly” friends. We coordinated an event that started in the NYC Metro group but we are looking to extend out to the southern tribe.
7/31 12:30pm shotgun at Trenton Country Club
Currently (as of this post) there are 29 spots (out of 60) remaining.
There will be some kind of competition format but has yet to be determined.
Details are below and it should be an awesome day. DM if you want any other details

Oh this sounds awesome (and only 20 minutes from me!). What is the latest we can register (or is it simply once everything fills up?)
More than likely there will be some cut off to give the club an idea, but unsure about when. For now, we will go with “when it fills up”
