Not a single time to be had within a 60 mile radius of my normal spots on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Tough scene up here in the Hudson Valley.

Friendly reminder for anyone here who is not already in - our NYC metro RACDG chapter is very active - both in terms of playing opportunities and on WhatsApp (and free to join/feel free to participate as much or as little as you want).
Strongly encourage you to get involved - and I think some of our newer members would agree it is a welcoming place you can make what you want it to be - cc @dfay88, @Crawfobm25, @Robenco15.

Yeah, I highly encourage everyone here to join. Within the first month of joining I got to play on some great courses (private even!) with some great people, all due to the members wanting to get as many people involved as possible. I otherwise would have been playing round number 60 of the year at my local track with the usual randos. Has been a great community and a lot of fun.

Totally agree! Only been in it for about a month and already made it out with 4 guys from the group. If you made it this far you might as well join the NYC Metro Whatsapp chat. Definitely fulfilling the mission of uniting fellow golf nuts both virtually and in person.

Totally agree such a good group of guys. Had a lot of fun at the Rock Spring event, and am really looking forward to a non socially distanced 2021 event! (Fingers Crossed)
DM incoming
For any of you guys that like to come a little north, looks like Mansion Ridge is staying open through the winter.

Interesting, so just a single daily shotgun?
I unwittingly participated in the 10am shotgun at mansion ridge a couple weekends ago. Had to start on the 15th hole, made for a tough starting stretch. Pace of play was good all in all. We were the b group on 15 so had to let the group in front of us clear. guess they only do 10Am tee times for the winter. Nice course, was in good shape.

Looks like it. Thatās how most courses around me have been operating for the last few weeks. Gets a bunch of people out at once and it moves well.
Thatās a tough place to start on that course. Brutal.
Yeah blind uphill tee shot on the par 5 to start, with the driving range closed. Then having the 18th soon after. The short first hole would have been much easier starting cold.
@HibernatingBear is @Shortwaywrongway in the group? iāve lost track of how many Upstaterās we have
I didnāt realize we meet downstate!
Hi all, Iām upstate right between Albany and Saratoga. Enjoying the last few days of outdoor golf that we have left as much as possible

Oh Iām in the Albany area as well, as is another gui. NYC is probably the closest cluster of a bunch of peeps, so Iāve assimilated into them
