Roll Call: Western New York, Lake Effect Roost sign up,

I will say we drove down to Frederick, Maryland last year in early March before we could get out here. Had 70+ weather and the drive was not bad at all. They have some awesome courses down there.

Whatā€™s the t squared putters one?

Delaware park is looking awfully open to hitting some balls. Might be a bit damp but if someone is brave enough/desperate enough :thinking:

Teesā€™nā€™Taps

Lol I feel this way every time I drive by Audobon and see the cups in and no snowā€¦

Ok and the thereā€™s one in Niagara Falls right?

Oh right! I always forget about that one haha in the old rainbow mall

Sadly my job doesnā€™t allow me to leave the state much in the winter, which really hurts as my best friend lives 5 minutes outside of Pinehurstā€¦ so I just bite the bullet and pay for a sim, which to be honest, if you go with a group its the same price as a normal 18 hole round at the average course.

Not much life in this thread at the moment, but Iā€™ve decided to try something new this season. Last year I had big plans to play as much variety as I can, the Rochester Area has an incredible amount of good golf to offer. I ended up getting very lazy and playing the same 2 or 3 courses out of ease and comfort. I made a quick google doc up with a list of where Iā€™d like to get to this summer. Some are as easy as making a tee time and getting there, others are going to require a miracle. So if there is any generous benefactors in here that have empty space on an olive branch, let me know. Add anything you think deserves a spot on this list, Iā€™ve got 40-50 rounds to fill this summer.

Love the idea. FWIW oak hill isnā€™t as laughable as you might think IMO - Although this year might be more of a stretch because of the PGA drastically limiting availability. Iā€™ve had the opportunity to play the west once and the east 3-4 times. If youā€™re willing to network and grovel enough around town Iā€™m sure you can get yourself out there.

Other courses Iā€™d recommend checking out: Sodus Bay Heights Golf Club - Cool and Quirky semi-private course overlooking Sodus bay. Wayne Hills CC - another fun quirky course.

I actually had a few connections to Oak that just never turned into anythingā€¦. I agree this year is for sure a long shot, walking around at the PGA might be my only chance to see it lol. Iā€™ll add Wayne and Sodus to the list, heard a lot of good about Wayne Hills.

Wednesday looking like a solid winter golf day, whats the best spot in buffalo in winter, i know all the rochester spots from craigie brae down to farview, saw terry hills is allowing walking this weekā€¦
