I'd like to play, but at this point I am only a "maybe."

Matt,

Great job putting this together. As I believe we discussed a bit last year in Wisconsin, Indy is a perfect spot to host a Mashie. Not only did you pick a couple great venues for the matches, but there is a ton of really good golf nearby for others to see if they haven't already. As much as I'd love to participate, I unfortunately have a family wedding that same weekend, so I'll be unable to make it. Looking forward to hearing the stories from the weekend.
H.P.S.

I'm in for Broadmoor.

Thanks for putting this together!  

Good list on public-access additions.

To those who might be looking for some private options, Crooked Stick will be 2 weeks post-BMW Championships, so it'll be in a stage of healing.
CS and Wolf Run are the obvious ones to this crowd, but there are really interesting architecural stories to be told at Highland, Woodland, and CCI, too.

In the completely opposite direction, anyone with an adventurous spirit and some curiosity about Pete Dye's origins can play all or part of at least four old courses of his -Sahm, Eagle Creek, Maple Creek, Dye's Walk- for less than you'd spend on a decent lunch.

ok- even though I'm dying to see it, Harrison Hills looks like it's an additional hour out of the way, so Trophy club it is for the Chicago Sunday afternoon contingent who are interested...

Jud, I'll be heading back to Cincinnati afterwards but I love The Trophy Club and might join you if schedule allows.

Ward and others,

Glad to hear it! It is shaping up to be a great event.

If I haven't mentioned it yet, we don't have a cap for number of players on Sunday at The Fort, so I made tentative tee times for 32. Anyone who can't do Saturday, but would be able to play Sunday is welcome, just let me know.

Also, pardon my nerddom (or nerdacity, whatever the descriptor is), but I've put together a little map of some of the area courses to give you a better idea when making additional plans. Oh, the things you can accomplish while watching the NBA Playoffs...

Broadmoor CC - 1
The Fort - 2
The Trophy Club - A
Brickyard Crossing - B
Prairie View GC - C
Bear Slide (Liddy) - D
Purgatory GC (Ron Kern) - E
Heartland Crossing Golf Links - F
Harrison Hills (Langford/Liddy) - G
Kampen Course (Dye) - H
Coyote Crossing (Irwin) - I

If any of you plan on playing Purgatory or Bear Slide on Sunday afternoon, I might caution that there's a lot of construction up by the I-69/Rt. 37 area.

When I played Purgatory a couple weeks ago on a Thursday morning at 10:30, I had no problem getting off the Rt. 37 exit. But, when I left for my return trip back to Cincinnati around 2:30, traffic on that northbound exit was very backed up. Not sure if the weekend would lessen that traffic, but I could only imagine if traffic was that bad at 2:30 on a Thursday, what must it be like during higher traffic peaks?

Played The Fort earlier in April and it was in fantastic condition. Maybe I'm just out of shape, but that will be quite a hike for the walkers. A couple of decent valleys to climb up and down on 5, 6, and 18. By mid-September, the temperature should start cooling down a bit, so that should help.

Would love to take up the opportunity to play Broadmoor, but my game is too embarrassing right now to commit to anything. If there's still an open spot by the deadline, and if I can get that date open on my calendar, and if I can make my game somewhat respectable for public consumption, and lastly if I don't hurt myself like I did last year which caused me to miss Lawsonia, than I'm in.  :)

I'll know more by August if I'm in or out. Certainly don't hold a spot for me that would leave another out. Make me the lowest priority.

Criss,

Good note on the traffic for the exit off of I69 to Noblesville.  I drive through that every day.  It is only really an issue on weekday evenings.  Other times should be fine.  It's only a problem when you have about 100,000 people trying to get home from Indy to Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, and Anderson.  That Thursday issue you ran into was because of an accident.  Some yahoo decided to dive bomb across three lanes of traffic to make the exit at the last second.  The next day they had state troopers watching the exit to discourage such a move by anyone else.

That is a note for anyone driving around Indy, everyone here thinks that the rules of traffic don't apply to them and that they are all the next great race car driver waiting to be discovered.  Just a fair warning.

Re: 3rd Annual Midwest Mashie - Update (Participants Please Read)

Hello all,

I have some updated lodging details for the Midwest Mashie:

We have two officers homes reserved for Saturday, September 22nd. These homes can comfortably house up to 8. They have 6 queen beds (in three separate bedrooms) and two queen pullout sleeper sofas that are in semi-private rooms. Each house also has a full kitchen and 2 1/2 baths. The total cost for each house will be $234.70. We'll just divide the total by the number of guys that are staying, which can be up to 16.

If you are not interested in the communal arrangements of the officers homes, they have 4 other rooms in the lodge that are currently available. They range from $133/night to $197/night based on occupancy and room size. For these rooms you must BOOK YOURSELF by calling 1-877-563-4371. When you call, be sure to mention the "Stay and Play discount rate", not the "Stay and Play package" as we already have a separate reduced green fee for Sunday morning's golf.

There are several other hotels within a relatively short distance that are available if you don't want to, or are unable to stay onsite:

Hampton Inn Castleton (317) 576-0220
Comfort Inn and Suites - (317) 823-7700
Drury Inn and Suites - (317) 849-8900
Hilton Indianapolis North - (317) 849-6668

Please let me know your intentions for lodging (with a post or a PM). We'll cap the officers homes at 16. Others will have to book on their own using the phone numbers and options provided above, or alternatives found on your own.

One last note, the fee for golf at The Fort will be $59 provided we have at least 20. If we drop below 20, the fee will be $69.

Thanks,
Matt

One more thing, if you would like a caddie at Broadmoor, please let me know ASAP so one can be reserved. Jud, you're already taken care of.

Thanks,

To clarify, the total cost for each officer home is $234.70 per night. I received a PM asking if it was $234.70 per person, so I wanted to be clear. We'll divide the total for the two houses between the total number of guests...thanks...

I'd love to play if there are any spots left.  I wouldn't need lodging.

I'd also be willing to set up any of the extra games for the weekend.
