Who's going to be at Oakland Hills? Let's set up a meeting place: day, time, and location. I've never been to the course so I don't know what works during tournament week...any ideas?

Jay, I'd like to be part of it.
There is a nice golf-themed restaurant called Hogan's (yes the same one, at least in concept) at the northwest corner of Telegraph Road and Maple Road. It is about a quarter-mile from the golf course; walking distance for the sturdy of leg. It is clearly the closest real watering hole to the golf course. It was filled with Euros after the Ryder Cup. I can check with them on availability for us. I am a regular there. It would be perfect for a GCA gathering.
If that location is too close to the traffic (it could be), I can suggest any number of other places near to where people park, carpool, catch shuttle buses, etc.

The restaurant sounds nice. Lets try to schedule that AND an on-course meetup. What day and time do you think works for Hogans?
What about a place on the course?

As for times and dates, Jay, I am going to let the greater group take the lead on that. As far as on-course locations, I can probably help. Just about all of the tents and major structures are up now; I'll try to figure out a good spot. Everybody should note that the wonderful viewing area on the hilltop at the confluence of 8-green, 11-green and 12-tee will be cramped beyond all usefulness, thanks to a new, bumped-back 12-tee.  |

Jay,
I'll be there on Friday. And I suggest the whole group meet 45 miles south in Toledo at world famous Tony Packos!

I'll be at OHCC tomorrow afternoon, and I will probably get dinner at either Hogan's (Telegraph Road N. of Maple Road) or Brandy's (Telegraph Road N. of Square Lake Road -- almost to Orcahrd Lake Road).
Let me know if you are interested.

call me on the cell and we'll try to arrange something. I found Hogan's actually!
Happily, there are several restaurants by the media hotel too.

The first meet-up is tomorrow at 12:30 in front of the media center. I'll wear all black so you can pick me out easily.
