Did you fucking join Midland too?

Bumping the Roost signup sheet because Deluxe is asking us to actually put people on an official list now. Please add your name ASAP if you’re new or don’t spend every waking minute of your life here like some of us

Nah, I’m capped at 1 local membership for now.

I am actively fielding offers for a warm weather National though. No luck so far since the private clubs in Ft Myers stink

Unrelated note, if anyone is trying to play Interlachen do it next year. Going to be closed most of ‘23 & ‘24 because of THEIR $28 MILLION PROJECT

Guess that’s one way to get the USWO.

I play Island View 10-15 times a year because my FIL is a long time member. I like it and think it’s a fun challenge, but admittedly it’s not going to blow you away. It has 3-4 holes that are really good, 2-3 holes that are really bad, and the rest are average.

It’s fairly tight so getting off the tee is the challenge, a few greens are tricky, but it’s very manageable on the greens.

We normally play Saturday mornings and it’s best feature is, it’s not very busy. The tee sheet is full, but not overcrowded, and pace of play is a big deal out there. We normally play in 3:30-3:45, and our group is a bunch of hacks.

Those assessments have to be heeeeefty.

GRWhitehead · January 10, 2022, 4:07am

I’ll play it a few times for sure. Good heads up.

GRWhitehead · January 10, 2022, 4:08am

They have a lot, A LOT, of members. I think it was 25k

Not pining to play Jack’s Old Corkscrew a few times a winter?

aspoiledwalk · January 10, 2022, 4:16am

My boss thinks Old Corkscrew is the nicest course in the world. This isn’t a hyperbole, he’s mentioned it numerous times.

@Battisstatus, we have a developing covid exposure situation on my end that may hinder my ability to attend the simulator meetup. I will keep you abreast of any updates.

Battisstatus · January 10, 2022, 2:20pm

Good luck brother

Jsondergaard · January 10, 2022, 3:49pm

I have a similar situation as @TBuhr33 and need to bail. Was looking forward to running it back with @FairwayHank but doesn’t look like now is the time. Thanks for organizing @Battisstatus

Battisstatus · January 10, 2022, 3:57pm

Sorry to hear this.

Now an event of 28.

bignanski · January 10, 2022, 4:12pm

If @TBuhr33 ends up in the clear, we do have @GRWhitehead on standby. Just FYI.

FairwayHank · January 10, 2022, 4:20pm

We will have our moment in the sun together some other day @Jsondergaard. Hope you stay in good health in the meanwhile

freesypop · January 10, 2022, 4:22pm

Hope you guys are all good! I don’t have COVID and am very much looking forward to beating you all* with @TedMilky

*I am just as bad at simulator golf as regular golf

TedMilky · January 10, 2022, 4:30pm

Hey Gang,

It is with great sadness that I have to opt-out of the meetup this week. Sorry guys but some family thing came up and I can’t make it.

@Battisstatus sorry the late back out hope there is enough time to get the spot filled.
