Hello all!
My anticipated playing partner for 36 holes on Monday at Chambers Bay has had to cancel, and I am curious as to whether anyone here might be interested in joining me...
Particulars: 1st tee time is at 8.48am on Monday 10/29 (this is the first group on the course that day)--2nd tee time is at 1.24pm. Might be cutting it close for the second 18, but I expect to be flying around. Right now both these times are still just the twosome I originally booked.
Greens fees for the 1st round are $131 ($115 + tax; would be about half if you're from Pierce County), and if you play both rounds, the 2nd round fee would be only $51 ($45 + tax).
Extended forecast is for partly cloudy conditions and cool (50 degrees or so), but only 10% chance of rain. This is the NW, however, so that could and probably will change...
Say what you want about the fees, which I do think are significant, but the combined total for 36 off-season is only very slightly more than one 18-hole round is on a weekend before mid-October.
To this frugal Scandinavian, that is worth it to check out what the fuss is all about!
Only caveat--I need a firm commitment by Friday morning, or I have to give up the tee times.
Shoot me an IM or e-mail if you're interested, as I always enjoy the chance to explore a (relatively new) course with a fellow GCA'er!
