Seriously though, would you rather be in the NE chapter or the Atlantic chapter (Virginia & the Carolinas). Admittedly you’d be the first person in the Atlantic chapter so far, but you could be a trailblazer.
@icarito we would be happy to have you in the NE chapter. If you decide to go solo in the Atlantic chapter you better start planning a Pinehurst meetup for all of us
Btw I have a golf buddy just moved to Amsterdam. I’m planning to go see him in the spring and check out the local golf. Maybe you could show us around…
Sad, sad latin scholar here (@icarito is as well from his high school days)
If I am correct the best direct translation would be as follows:
“Latitudo et angulatus”
No exact word for “angles” per se but this directly translated means “width and with angles” and was about as close as I could get. I need to take a shower after writing on a golf forum in latin and saying per se please excuse me
Or “latus et angulosus” means “wide and having angles” and has a bit more flow to it
Or we could take some poetic license use the word certus which means firm in the sense that something is fixed, settled, or certain and create “certus et celer” which just sounds phenomenal
Anybody with some graphic design skill and time to kill have an idea for a logo?
Thinking about the actual R&A. Isn’t it amusing that they are Royal & “Ancient”? Perhaps now, but when first coined, ancient wouldn’t exactly be accurate.
Makes our Common & New company just as fun to tag Royal & Ancient…and certainly Dishonourable.
Don’t worry, I’m just a college kid, not like I actually own homes in each. I guess I’ll leave my options open for now as the NE chapter looks very promising, but given that I spend about 9 months of the year in NC, Atlantic may be more practical.
