Ohio Golf
« on: April 18, 2010, 08:09:09 PM »
I live in Dayton, OH and am a member at NCR CC.  I would like to get 6 or 7 single digit handicappers and travel around Ohio every 2 or 3 weeks and play some nice country clubs.  Being a member at NCR can get me on most courses except the super elite clubs.  If anyone is interested in doing this let me know and maybe we can set something up in a couple weeks.

This is in no way OT. This is 100% on topic. This is an interested member trying to get other members to travel around and expand their knowledge of golf architecture. How is wanting to see other courses off topic? I've thought of posing the same question myself from time to time.

You are likely correct..just kind of struck me the wrong way about single digits and I can get on most courses.

Yeah, I suppose this is the opposite of the "access whoring" we see here at times. Perhaps this is "access pimping?" I think its a really cool thing to do, myself. Especially considering Mike all ready has the access to a certain degree and is willing to share if possible.

Mike, My handicap is not single digit, but I would definitely partake in this if you'll have me!

I did not mean to offend anyone by posting this but I have always wanted to get a group of guys who are not afraid to play the back tees and experience new golf courses.  I am willing to use the contact of NCR to access new golf courses which I do on a regular basis.  I am able to get on most golf courses by doing this.  I don't think this is much different than people posting for events like the Midwest Mashie.

Mike-No offense taken here. The only difference between your post and events like the Dixie Cup and the Midwest Mashie is that they do not place handicap restrictions on the invitation. They are open ended. If such restrictions were in place, a great deal of fellowship and good times would have been missed over the years. Appreciation of golf course architecture is not limited to low handicappers.

Mike,

I would love to do this as much as my schedule allows. Having a young child can make things difficult but I fit your criteria and would love to see some different courses around the state. Hopefully we can get together & make it happen
