Re: 2012 5th Major at Dismal River

[Kalen Braley]

Did someone say texas hold em tourney?  I'm in for sure.  Sorry Cory, but I'm taking down the big pots!!

Eric,

I don't have a partner, but I'm hoping/guessing someone will two step with me! 

[JC Jones]

Eric will not "steer" you wrong on how to get to Dismal River:

Michael - was that your Meatloaf cd?  Eric won't give me an answer.  Honestly, I did not think anyone other than high school girls in the 70's listened to him.  Did "Paradise By the Dashboard Light" come on next?  Love the video, but how do you post it with that music selection.

This video could have a cut in the middle of it where the Miller Light girl tells the guys to 'man up".

It was the radio... Eric picked the channel! 

To be honest, can you think of anything else you'd rather be listening to than Meatloaf while driving down a road with cows on it?

I'm mailing my deposit in today.  If there is a shortest drive contest, my partner and I will win that one hands down!  My only question is what's the buy in going to be for the Texas Hold'em Tournament Saturday night?  I plan on winning back my entry fee!

Why are you dogging me?

Our boy Cory doesn't drink but I will drink his share and then some and he gets a hard-on when someone mentions poker.

I am looking forward to the event, I just hope nobody from Penn St or Syracuse comes because I'm young and don't play that game.

Well, if it's not too soon for that then it isn't too soon for me to ask if anyone wants to meet up in Denver and play Ballyneal on the way to Dismal.

Eric and Mac and I were supposed to do that but then Eric said something about banks. That's okay, we've got plenty of options, the Sand Hills are over saturated with courses.

How does one get to Dismal River?

[JC Jones]

How does one get to Dismal River?

Fly to Denver or Omaha, drive 5 hours.

[Rob Rigg]

Is it better to drive from Denver or connect to North Platte and drive up to Mullen?

I thought that drive was more like 6 hours from memory? Could be wrong. Driver faster?

You could drive like us. I am going to try and sucker in David, what does he drive?

My favorite trip has been to fly into Omaha, travel across the state playing multiple courses and fly back home out of Denver. Southwest does not charge extra for one way tickets.

Flying into North Platte would save you less than one hour given connections. I don't see it worth the risk.

Side benefit is only encountering the aroma of the feedlots on I-76 one time.

[Rob Rigg]

Thanks JK - That's good to know if I'm heading out that direction.

Only an hour flight from PHX to DEN - then an hour to get out of the stupid airport and get the car - then 5ish hours. Piece of cake.

Drove it last time and wondered if flying to NP would have been worth it - obv not.

I love Southwest - crazy cheap flights if you book ahead and 2 free bags - dig it.

[Eric Smith]

We're at 38 thus far, so a little more than halfway to a full house. All are welcome!

Chris says we might even get to go cow tipping one night; or frog gig the Dismal - so sign up and book your plane tickets. This will be the best golf trip of your week!!

Great to see it coming along, thanks Eric!

[Eric Smith]

A heads up that we're a little over 4 months away from the event so I'd like to ask those who haven't sent in their deposits to plan to do so by March 30 in order to allow the club to plan accordingly. We're currently at 44 players - with plenty of room for more so if you're on the fence you still have some time to work on those hall passes.

Also, if anyone would like to come out earlier in the week please let me know as a few of us are planning on arriving late Tuesday night and playing all day Wednesday and Thursday before the 5th Major begins on Friday at 1:00.

Lastly, any partner requests and/or pairing requests you all may have please shoot em my way and the steering committee will get to work on making this year's event the best it can be. I appreciate all of you who are making the effort to attend this year. It's going to be a great time.

[Mac Plumart]

Eric...isn't Carson coming as well?

Eric,

I have a question for the steering committee.  Since my partner is probably going to cancel because he's a wuss , but he's already paid his deposit, I assume that means I get to use his deposit towards my entry fee right?  As for my replacement partner, give me somebody who plays about the same speed as Mac to balance me out

[Eric Smith]

Eric...isn't Carson coming as well?

He's on the list. #41.

Cory,

Don't count Sam out yet!

[JNC Lyon]

Who is driving back on Monday?  I have a flight out Monday morning, but Big E and co. seem to be heading back Sunday...

[Sam Morrow]

What airport?

[JNC Lyon]

What airport?

Denver International

[Sam Morrow]

Nevermind, sorry.

[Eric Smith]

Patron,

Why not just go back with us and stay at an airport hotel with a shuttle?
We aren't flying out until 7:30 that night so definitely playing golf on Sunday before leaving for Denver.

Sam,

Flying in to DEN? We'll haul you too pal!
