Mark,

The format is a gallimaufry. 2 person teams with handicaps over 45 holes. Friday evening we'll do a 9 hole elimination shoot out plus a smidgen of cross country golf. Maybe some basketball...Atari, Asteroids, and whatever else you guys like.

KB,

That's an absolute certainty with a few of the guys I know to be coming. We're all lucky there isn't a craps table.

Rich,

I'm not exactly sure when I registered the domain, maybe 2003?

Mark,

It'll add up to a lot of golf when taking into account the afternoon shootout, plus cross country golf. The fee allows for all day golf, so there really isn't a limit to how many holes you can play.

I just read where Bogey's coming. Awesome!!

Oh Kids!!!  Only if others are interested in tasting. 

Otherwise, if the Guinness is flowing, then we should be just fine Mr. Smith.

Is there no hard liquor on the premises?

Sometimes you want to relax with a jack and coke or vodka/redbull after a round!  :)

Nope.  No trees or asphalt either.  Thus, no Double Barky Sparky.

Plenty of hard liquor tho.

Should be fun!

I might try and be there.  I hear Dismal is a nice place, and I enjoy 17-mile sand entrance roads.  I'll be in touch.

I know it is bad form to criticize the host.  But Eric, if you are going to take a video of that drive, I would recommend not to have 3 guys in a car listening to Meatloaf "2 out of 3 ain't bad" - uggghh.  

You have the ultimate golf club with everything that a real man may desire - great golf, ample supplies of alcohol, best football tv room around, huge campfire, my travelling craps table  - - - and guys listening to Meatloaf???

Thank you again for the invitation.  I could not be more appreciative.  However, JNC, you should be in charge of the music.

LOL

Besides great golf,food and lodging has to be right up there as one of the best hideouts ever if you are on the lam from creditors,gangsters or a jealous husband.

I know Michael, I know...why couldn't Whitty have started filming minutes earlier when we were jamming to Warrant? :D

Next year I'm driving from Omaha with JC and Cheech and whoever else wants to join us for 370 miles of Gaga.

Edit - I just checked the travel log - it was Whitesnake, not Warrant.  ;)

Allman Brothers? Grateful Dead? Zeppelin? Skynyrd? Coltrane? Taylor Swift?  All good choices in my book, and I'll make sure one of them is on for the next journey.

JNC:

You cannot get much lower than Meatloaf so any of your choices will be better.

However, your inclusion of Taylor Swift after the first 5 is interesting.  I actually like her music and would welcome her at the 5th Major.  However, in gca terms, it is like saying your favorite courses are Dismal River, Sand Hills, Ballyneal, Prairie Dunes and . . . Trump National (pick one).  I enjoy playing the Trump courses (besides the obligatory waterfall) so it is not a problem, but something doesn't fit.
