Roll Call: Western New York, 2025 Roost sign up

Hello friends, moving from Knoxville, TN to Rochester towards the end of December and my wife wont be moving up till mid May. I know itll be cold but anytime we can get out and swing it in March or April I would be down. Peace.

Quite the move! Iā€™m born and raised in Rochester. Welcome to the area in advance. If youā€™re wife is a Southerner she is making a smart move waiting out the winter. :joy:

Spring is hella wet here and there could certainly still be snow on the ground, but itā€™s definitely a crap shoot.

EDIT: I will also say that if you have any questions (non-golf related) about the move and want to run them by me just let me know. Iā€™m assuming you are moving for work and likely have some work related people you can bounce questions off of, but donā€™t hesitate to send me a DM.

Man I hope itā€™s for some real good money and you will be inviting us out to play at like oak hill, or Irondequoit cc. Rough move. Just losing alot of golf season. But hey we get it in when we can! Been trying to get this more active for the area and hopefully we can do a get together next summer. Until then join us on the whatsapp to chat and stay in touch.

Howdy yaā€™ll! Getting ready to make the move up to Buff next month. With the talks of the new Roosts, any idea where we would fall into?

Iā€™m pretty confident that if @DavidElliottHHCCā€™s making a move, itā€™s for good reason. This guy is good people. Bummed I wasnā€™t able to hook up with him at HH, but Iā€™m sure going to try to check him out at his new spot in WNY! Hoping to get up there again next summer.

Right now there isnā€™t a ton of nest action in the area. I started a whatsapp. Join it. We didnā€™t do anything last year but Iā€™m hoping to do a meetup next summer. I havenā€™t looked into the roost rules fully but I think we need 20 active people. Doesnā€™t have to be best members either. You going to be right in Buffalo?

Yeah, moving to Elmwood Village. I asked in the main Roosts thread and Ben said weā€™d probably get bundled into the nyc roost, at least in the beginning. Thanks for the WhatsApp suggestion, I saw it posted a few posts back.

@donnymac335 suggested a 36-hole event between the WNY NLUā€™ers and our brothers across the border with a casino component and I am all in for that!!

Yea. Boarder issues right now the only problem. I think itā€™s getting better. Is Def so that. I would say we would be limited more into Pittsburgh, or Ohio area roost if we didnā€™t have one of our own. City is 8 hrs away. And Cleveland and Pittsburgh are 3-4hrs away. Iā€™d rather that way myself. I live right in between Rochester and Buffalo so bring in Buffalo the times are shorter.

Alright, Iā€™m checking to see if we can try to do a WNY Roost, not sure how many we need signed up or if they have to approve. But if you are interested let me know. Could possibly combine with CNY too. I think that would be perfect. That will get the numbers we need probably. Iā€™m cross posting to CNY about it. Whoā€™s in? I got a few names thought of.

Prefect! Already got a brand new outsider in! Your still going to regret the move hahaha. BTW, I play winter golf when weather allows. If your sick in the head like my self. Usually just walk 9. Iā€™m just north of Batavia. And Terry hills is open alot with carts even in the winter. Plus a few other courses you can at least walk at.

definitely down to try to play in some events this coming year, Iā€™ll put my name on the list, just moved from Rochester to Buffalo in August, have two young sons so hard to travel far to play golf often! As @jsauce mentioned Iā€™ve had an idea for the past year or so about doing an event with our brothers north of the border calling it The Brawl in the Falls, 36 hole event- 18 holes at Seneca Hickory Stick, crossing the border staying in Niagara Falls, ON for a little casino action then 18 @ Whirlpool the 2nd day, Ryder Cup type format! For the Roost travel distance wise might make more sense to join up with the guys up north or to the East for easier travel!

Got 9 in at a executive course in my town today. From 12 to 3 it was beautiful. I try to play every Thanksgiving eve. And probably will try for it again tomorrow. Anyone else getting out?

10 signed up so far I think we need 20 for consideration. Let your friends know. They donā€™t have to be on the refuge either. Hopefully this will lead to it though.

I will sign up once I get infront of my laptop. For some reason I canā€™t update the google sheet on my phone.
