Jim, I am glad I read that post after waking up! I plan to arrive at the airport early and will press the attendant call button if I don't see them load. I must admit, I was driving pretty passively for a Detroiter yesterday.
I am most excited about the days 1 and 3 since I have not played any of those courses and have learned so much about them since discovering this site. I have played many great designs, but this is going to be different. Fortunately, I have a friend at GCGC so I have played there several times - in fact it was the initial reason for the trip. The other three were added through various connections the guy I am going with and I had. We had a lot of other choices out in the Hamptons, but decided to go with the two we wanted to see most.
We thought about adding another day for some other Metro clubs, but this seems like a good bit of golf without exhausting ourselves, our wives and our wallets. Next year, we will do it again and spend a few more days out in the Hamptons.
The hardest part of the trip? Staying at Piping Rock and not being able to play because it's the weekend of their Invitational!
