Ballyneal Sept 26-28
« on: September 02, 2009, 09:42:22 AM »
I'm looking for a good excuse to get back out to Holyoke, so I thought I'd throw this out there to gauge interest in a potential impromptu mini-GCA outing.  Either Sat Sep 26-Mon Sep 28 or Sun Sep 27-Mon Sep 28.  Reply here or send me a PM if you're interested.  It's still probably a long shot from my perspective, but with enough interest, I can try to make it happen.

And no...I won't make you appear in a rap video.

Out.  I thought the video was mandatory.   ;)

I'll reconsider if you at least make an audio contribution a requirement.

If you bail I can certainly do My best to pick up the slack. The long range weather is for a first frost mid month then a month or so of Indian summer. Should be ideal.

Unfortunately, I probably will not be able to get out there since my wife already vetoed Dixie Cup. But I want to stress to others (especially new members) who have not experienced Ballyneal how special this opportunity is. If you can you MUST go. If you are into GCA, a visit to this course is a must.

If we can have the flexibility and forgiveness of making a late decision on this, I might be able to do so.  As I spoke to Adam recently, I feel I must get out there this fall or I'll bust.  At this time and current state of back/disc issues, I may be able to do a couple of rounds, one per day on successive days (Wild Horse, Bally if available, Bayside, etc.) But, I'm sort of day to day on this.  If I go, I may have to stay longer, play less, but take a side trip to see/walk Valentine, Prairie Club if Mark A., is agreeable.  A whole golf season (like I did last year) without Nebraska/prairie sand hill golf, is like a year without sunshine.  :-\ ;D 8)

Fall here in Northeastern Colorado is definitely the best time for golf throughout the year.  It would be neat to get together with a bunch of guys at Ballyneal.

On a side note, from what I hear, Ballyneal just recently held a high school golf tournament and a kid from Cherry Hills shot a 67.  I was told it was from the tips, but I doubt they played it all the way back.

Also, Rupert recently held the CSU vs CU outing, with CSU coming out on top.  A sad day as Rupert is a CU grad, I believe, but great for my beloved Rams!

Jim,

Your generosity in hosting is, as always, very much appreciated.  As I am dying to get to Ballyneal I am afraid that the Dixie Cup has already eaten up my fall allowance of hall passes (too bad too because your weekend is my birthday weekend).

Next time.....

I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

Jim - thanks for the hospitality and sharing of a great course but I can't make it. I played in a tournament Monday and have been in Pinehurst (my word the conditioning of the courses is horrible; #2 is in pathetic shape for a top 30 course) since for the member-guest. I have another tournament next week (I'm the defending champ) and the a golf trip to Louisville with a vendor the week after that.
