Dan, I have a twosome interested around that time. Perhaps we can find just one more and make everyone happy. Send me a PM with your contact info and I will see if we can work it out.

Our dates (for my son and I looking for two more to round out a foursome) are Thurs, July 3rd or Tuesday July 15th. With plane tickets already in hand, and the TOC submissions tomorrow morning, our dates are inflexible.
Dan, an expensive alternative is to buy all four spots.
Lastly, as much as I or any other person would love to play Muirfield, there is so much outstanding golf in the area, that not playing Muirfield will not tarnish what would be an unforgettable trip for any golfer. If it happens, it was meant to be, but don't stop trying.
