Splash of OJ (Florida Roost)

Hi All- I’m visiting Naples area (we are Americans living in Amsterdam) with my wife and just paid $16 for a bucket of 60 balls at a public range where the grass was basically weeds… Is this normal?!

If there are any suggestion within an hour or so for a somewhat affordable course? Also, if anyone wants to play this week, would be great to meet you!

$16 is pretty good, we have hit the $20+ mark in orlando.

Anyone here play WP9 regularly? I was getting my golf pencil collection together and realize my one from there is missing and would love to get a replacement

Anyone got a time in the Orlando area this Saturday Jan 17th? Was banking on WP9 for some reason on a Saturday and that was apparently dumb of me.

Canadian, lefty, will attempt feats of strength in an effort of entertainment in exchange for a game of golf.

Several of us are participating in a Roost event on Saturday south of Orlando:

There may still be a spot open.

Firstly that is #sick. I looked, and the drive appears to be a little far for me for my time table. By a strike of luck WP9 had a couple times on golfnow and I snagged one of those. Sincere thank you for the welcoming invite. I hope ya’ll enjoy. Did I use that right?

Greetings Floridians – will be visiting Tampa-ish area in March. I booked the 8:12am tee time at the Karoo course at Cabot on Wednesday 3/18. Would be delighted to play with any golf sickos who want to hop on the time. Cheers.

Hey OJers! The wife and I will be heading down to Miami on Feb 6-9 to escape the disgusting cold of the Great Plains roost. Got permission from the wife to bring the clubs and get a game in, would love to meet up and play with some Splash of OJ guys! I’m a 3hdcp but don’t care about much, just looking for a fun track and fun group. If there’s a discord or something that’s better suited for this lmk!

I’d be down to meet up at The Park in west Palm, a bit over an hour north of Miami

I don’t think we were currently planning on renting a car, that may be a little far for me to uber ha

@ASplashOfOJ a true gem @hworth14 is gonna be in Jax over the weekend, looking to tee it up, anyone available?

Depending on where you’re staying in Miami consider the Brightline or Tri-Rail trains as transportation to WPB.

I should be around and need to get out on a real golf course again. Any particular place in mind or tee time already booked?

Nothing is booked, he reached out to me via DM, so I’m just trying to help find some folks to play with.

ahh he messaged me, but unfortunately I’m out of town

I was down in Orlando for everyone’s favorite one million square feet chaos bonanza and we played Evermore’s two courses last Saturday and Sunday.

I think, possibly, the “links” course at Evermore might be one of the better ‘off the plane and to the first tee’ courses I’ve played in Florida. You can basically hit it anywhere out there. Tough price tag from what I understand (we caught a discount) but we had a great time, even though the four of us hadn’t touched a club since December

I’m assuming this thread gets 50 post like this every winter, but here’s another one.

I’ll be spending the weekend in Melbourne, FL in a few weeks and am hoping to be able to sneak in a round of golf. Any recommendations for that area or within a 1 hr drive on where to play?
