Roll Call: Western New York, 2025 Roost sign up

No one yet. But feel free. There will be one in that area is my guess.

Up to 13 names. We will see how it plays out. No matter what Iā€™m putting together a meet-up next year in June. I can host at my course. If ever donā€™t get a roost. Iā€™ll probably join whatever is in Ohio or Pittsburgh area.

So what exactly is a Roost ?

I must be doing something wrong. Says it either doesnā€™t exist or is private

The Roosts are clubs spread throughout the US, Canada, and the UK that are either already existing or forming to commit to playing competitive golf to determine entrants into a Worldwide Championship later this year.

Really what we are trying to do is get people out to play golf locally with other sickos and develop the in person connections many of us in other parts of the country and world have done.

I cannot express how much I value the real life friendships Iā€™ve found here. Finding people interested in golf the way you are interested in golf makes it so much more enjoyable.

To get a sense of what others are doing, check out the Instagram profiles of a few of the groups that have been doing this the last few years.

You donā€™t have to be a Nest Member to play in local qualifiers, but you do in order to advance out of local play.

Also Western NY, you gotta get your application in!

In other words, weā€™re trying to ā€œgrow the gameā€ out of the refuge as wellā€¦

I donā€™t think that it falls in the same category as growing the game, just encouraging people who already play golf to get together IRL.

Where else are you going to find a bunch of people willing to walk 36?

How do I post this to cny topic?

Thanks Josh! Hopefully we get 4 more to become official!
I know we can get some 2022 events but the coming out party should be coincided with the 2023 PGAā€¦ need some representation from the NLU crew!

2023 PGA coming to my hometown @ Oakhill CC . I am hoping to be volunteering. Either way Iā€™ll be there all week.

Thatā€™s a great idea. If we donā€™t get one this year they are planning on more the next year with interest is my understanding. We will have a few meetups either way.

Can a Canadian join?

Of course! Iā€™m hoping for a little border war event between the Toronto crew and the WNY crew in 2022 but youā€™re more than welcome to any NLU event we plan :+1:t2:

Just seeing they did announce the roots. We didnā€™t get one. Could be a blessing in disguise. We will still hook up. Now we have shared emails and we had a good number of folks sign up. Would like to setup a indoor meeting in Buffalo dome after new year. If anyone in roc wants to join or do one that way let me know.

Definitely Interestedā€¦

Might make sense to play out of the Duck Clubā€¦ Ohio and NYC seems too far to be #getinvolved

The boarder issues is the problem right now. Even bring vaxxed you have to get tested to go over. Tests are 225 dollars. My buddy drives thru to Michigan alot and has the issue every time even as recent as sunday. I understand though and I donā€™t think there are restrictions to who or how many you really join anyhow. If they have events in Cleveland area thatā€™s not bad and donā€™t have to deal with the boarder. But we are still doing at least 1 event on our area. Gives us a chance for when they expand.
