Jay,

Did you get Czaban?

Paul

Czaban is on the fence...will confirm or not soon...he asked the question though, "What are the chances Tom Doak might make it?"

Have we even remembered to ask Tom?

[Lloyd_Cole]

I'm afraid I will not be able to play.
I may still be able to pass through and say Hi, if I can I will and will happily loop for 9 holes if someone has a light bag.
I'll have to play it by ear, if I make it, I make it, but I Will NOT be able to golf.
Sorry.

Very big disappointment.  You have the coolest job of anyone on this board, although you may not look at it that way.

[Craig Disher]

I played at Beechtree last Friday and if anyone is worried about a decline in conditions, don't bother. The course is in as good shape - firm & true - as I've ever seen it and remainsthe best quality for value in the area, at least for a couple more months.

Although I'll be missing the GCA party, I hope to get back at least once before the course closes Dec 7. If anyone is looking for some company, keep me in mind.

[Chip Gaskins]

[Jay Flemma]

see everyone there early...10:30 sharp for me. rock on honorable ones.

Lloyd, I have a light bag and would love to talk shop with you for nine holes.  My boys BFS just released their live DVD from Manchester called "Live and Very Attractive" and it rocks.

Besides, I hit some of the funniest golf shots this side of the Pecos...

[Kalen Braley]

Anyone know when its closing its doors?

I may be back that way in early december and hopefully I could have a go at it before its dreadful end.

[Lloyd_Cole]

Dear all
Plans changed even further
Having cancelled my golf on this trip I can now, if I gun it, make it home for my son's 16th birthday
So I'm going to try to do that
Jay - I'll loop for you another time
I'm sorry to miss this, but I've missed enough birthdays (thanks to my coolest of jobs) the last few years
I think it would be nice to make this one

December 7

[Jay Flemma]

bump.  we're getting close.

[mike_malone]

 Should we plant a beech tree ?

[Jay Flemma]

I'll second that thought and offer to chip in for a tree and a plaque...whaddya think guys?

[Dan Herrmann]

Chip,
With the national financial situation, and the fact that the House just defeated the recovery bill, I think its best to save money.  This could get really ugly really fast.

Therefore, I Laura and I will be able to attend.

Thank you so much for everything you've done here!
Dan Herrmann

[Jay Flemma]

Hey!  Lets post pix from beechtree days of yore.

I'll start.  Jay and Nancy (and bandon the tufted puffin) from 2005.

[Steve Wilson]

Damned sorry but I'm not going to be able to make it.  Family commitments.

[Tommy Williamsen]

I will be in MI taking my Dad to dr appts and will not return until late on the fourth.  I wish I could make it.

[Eric Smith]

We're driving up through VA and looking to play on Friday afternoon somewhere close to Beechtree.

Probably going to play Whiskey Creek, as it looks to be on our path to Aberdeen via I-81/I-70.   Anyone else want to play Friday afternoon? 

See you all there.

 

[Jerry Kluger]

Eric: Whiskey Creek is okay but if you are up around Beechtree you should play Bulle Rock.  If you do play Whiskey Creek and want to get to Beechtree I would suggest going up 270 to 70 East to 695 North to 95 North.
