Going to be in Middletown for a wedding on 9/24. Called ahead and booked a block of tee times at NN (I’m a disciple and big time
Shoulder season guy there)
HOWEVAH
There’s been whisperings amongst the group to play a Friday round as well… Anybody with recommendations on the other best local tracks there?
Montaup isnt far and a solid course thatll give you plenty of water views

Are they semi-private? Open to unaccompanied guest play?
i assume open to unaccompanied bc we played it before a newport wedding and everyone was from boston.
Montaup 
Calling them tomorrow based on the 3 day window… Realllllly hoping / need the 11 am slot with a rehearsal starting at 4
As a backup, is Green Valley any good?? (Wide open tee sheet at the moment)
Good afternoon Rhode Island, transplant whos been living in Newport the past few years. Looking for somewhere new to play. Usually play Exeter, Triggs, and jamestown (if i can deal the annoance of their starter). Was looking at goin to Meadowbrook but wasnt how it stacked up. Any thoughts.
Meadowbrook is nice. They did some renovations last year and some of the low areas were still really soft after a good amount of rain, but still better conditions than Triggs. I would say it’s similar to Exeter. I’ve never played Jamestown.

Anyone around Newport during the week of Folk Fest?
I’ll be up there from July 26-31 for Folk Fest. Would love to play an early morning round local to Newport on the 27th if anyone is game. Played Newport National last year, loved it.
If anyone is a Newport CC member, could I ply you with scotch to get on?
If you find someone please give them my info as well.

Bumping this if anyone needs a 4th in the coming days.
Anyone in here happen to be the 6:09am tomorrow at North Kingstown?
Playing Newport National on Thurs the 27th at 9:40 if anyone wants to join. I think I’m the only one booked.
Greetings!
Very new to the Refuge, but an avid fan of the program and all-round golf sicko.
Will be heading to Providence for three months (mid sept- mid dec) this fall. I’m a Swede and my wife is a researcher and will be a visiting scholar at Brown University. I will tag along with our two, by then one year old, twin girls. I am on my parental leave (from my work at IKEA - Yes, I am a Swede that works for IKEA) so will be exploring the area - every day. The girls make it tough to play golf - but not impossible.
If anyone who lives in the Providence area wants to meet up and watch mule fall event on the PGA tour or just grab a beer/lunch and chat I am very much up for it.
Cheers!

Welcome to the States and enjoy Providence! I’m a Brown grad (2016) myself. Your wife will love her experience there I imagine. I also got married in Providence last summer, so you could say I really love the area lol
If you would like any local tips or recommendations, feel free to DM me!

For those of you who may not be in the Tee Party, wanted to let you know we’ve got a cool competition happening next weekend in Providence.
As some of you may know, this year BTP is hosting our Roost regional competition between Boston, NYC, Philly and Baltimore. The competition is taking place next weekend, August 3rd and 4th down in Providence. August 3rd we will be playing at Trigg Memorial and August 4th we are looping the 9-hole Met Links (the former Metacomet CC) three times in a variety of formats. When I was booking these I secured extra tee times in case the other Roosts wanted to bring some backup players but none of them will be. As such, we have extra spots to fill and I wanted to see if any of you were interested in coming out and being part of the fun.
We have 3 spaces open for Trigg Memorial, first come first serve for sign-up. We have a block of tee times starting at 1, so this would be part of the last group going off at 1:40. The competitors will be playing normal NLU quota, but players who are not part of the competition can play whatever format they wish. Cost for this will be $60, more if you want a cart, payable to the course. After golf we will be meeting for drinks and food at a local brewery, details to follow for those that sign up
Sunday we have a plethora of spaces open at Met Links since we had to have a larger minimum number to get all three loops blocked off. The competitors will be playing 9 holes of best ball, 9 of alt-shot and ending with 9 holes of matchplay. As with Trigg, players who are not part of the competition can play whatever format they wish but I do ask you keep it moving to not hold up the teams, especially during the alt-shot round when only 2 balls will be in play. Please sign up either way but if you want to be part of the format put a yes in the pairing column (you can name a partner if you are signing up a friend) as well as a handicap and I will do my best to find you an equal partner/opponent if there is enough interest. Cost for golf is $75, a cart would be $30 if you want it and I am still looking at lunch options, which would be an additional fee, trying to keep it around $15.
Remember, you don’t need to have participated in any events prior to this to come and play at the regional sites. You can sign up for both or just one day if that is all your schedule allows. Both sign up options are on the sheet below.
