Ah hell, we’re all friends here. Here’s my spiel I gave someone else today:
Few things to be aware of:
The chats origins are based on the society that was created in the refuge called the Royal and Ancient Company of Dishonorable Golfers (RACDG). Link below to the thread/constitution if you don’t know what it is. I’m the Captain of our chapter for now.
The chat is VERY active and golf is maybe discussed 50% of the time. Please feel free to get involved as little or as much as you want and mute the chat if it’s too much. You don’t need to be active to get involved in events. Please DM me for the link to the chat.
We will hopefully be unveiling this seasons events in the next couple of weeks. We’ll have at least 4 formal events but we’re always getting together to just play casual rounds.
Hi all. I just booked a weekend at Sweetens Cove yesterday. Does anyone know anything about the King Collins project in Accord? I planned to visit last fall but I didn’t make it. Internet search is pretty sparse. Thank you!
Yes, it should be opening this spring and will be the same model as Sweetens, where they will offer day passes (TBD on price). They will also be offering membership (I believe also like Sweetens) who will have first dibs at passes, especially on the weekends. In addition, they will have either a hotel or cabins (possibly both) on site. Information on the web is still sparse but this is based on convos some of the guys have had with the Super and management.
We (the NY Metro RACDG chapter) plan on having an event there in (hopefully) June.
I cant wait to play the Accord course. I’m not moving to Albany until July, so hopefully we can get some guys together to play there later in the summer as well (I’m talking to you, @Cinnamon)
What’s up gang?!? I moved to Putnam County (Carmel) via VA about 8 years ago. Former club pro and since moving up have pretty much had my clubs parked in a closet. Looking to get back into the game and am hoping there’s some people close that I can catch up with. Looking forward to being a part of the group!
Welcome Josh! Would love to have you part of our group! Hit me up in DMs if you want to join our chat. There’s a handful of us that live in the Hudson Valley and those numbers are growing
Whats up NLU fam? First time poster here. Avid hacker hailing from Summit, NJ. Always interested in meet ups and trying every course available in a 50 mile radius. Might be relying on simulators for the time being with all this ridiculous snow…
Hey Jack, welcome to our little slice of the world! You join us at an interesting time bc this NY crew is very organized and we now have a website and a large contingent that plays together a lot. We are planning big things for this year. Check out the below site and hit me up in DMs if you have questions or want to get me involved in our WhatsApp
The wife wants to spend some time up in the Catskills this summer, close to Woodstock. Any recommendations of courses I can sneak off to play up there?
Inness!! Brand new 9 hole course which is not even open yet. Used to be called Roundout and King-Collins redesigned it and considered Sweetens “back 9”. It’s in Accord which is about 30 mins from Woodstock. They’re going to be offering day passes there like they do at Sweetens
First off, stay away from Times Square!! I get bringing your son there as part of the trip but I would spend as little time as possible there. Downtown is a great option. New York Marriott Downtown on West St (just below ground zero) is a solid hotel. If you plan on doing Statue of Liberty, ground zero, Wall Street etc., it’s perfect. Also a quick walk to a main subway hub at Fulton (brand new too) with easy access to anywhere from there.
