Where do you guys live? I guess a little OT.
« on: November 24, 2015, 08:44:38 AM »
We have had threads about your home courses but that has been quite a while. Looking at Mike Cirba's tour of Gullane made me ask if he lived in Scotland. I really don't know. So, where do you live? ;)
For 33 years I lived and worked in Arnold, MD, just outside Annapolis.  I now live in the Shenadoah Valley in the mountains of western Virginia at Bryce Resort, a little golf/ski resort.

Tommy,


Your humble life without humility is proof that nice guys don't finish last.  A true inspiration.

A loooooong time ago, someone (Daryl Boe, if memory serves) started a thread entitled "WHERE are you guys?" that featured a map where you could input your location. I tried to find it, but couldn't.


Most people mention where they live in the various "Who are you guys?" threads.


I live in Pittsburgh. The Shenandoah Valley is certainly a gorgeous area, nice to see someone worthy enjoying it.

Tommy,

I actually live in the woods in a remote area of the Pocono Mountains, far from the madding crowds after spending most of my adult life closer to Philadelphia.   We have bear and deer in our yard with some regularity, although I do wish the former would stop trespassing.

Work and play still take me up and down the "Northeast Extension" of the Pennsylvania turnpike and as we're now empty nesters, my wife and I travel as time permits to see the kids, parents, and siblings.

From a golf perspective, I feel perfectly placed being less than two hours from NYC and about an hour and a half from Philadelphia. 

I owe a lot to this website as many of my long-time friends are folks I met through this website in almost every corner of the US, and in the case of my recent visit to Scotland, abroad as well.

"Currently," Pat?

Surely you've heard, by now, that once you get here, you're never allowed to leave! (Numerous emojis omitted.)


I live in Hopkins, Minnesota -- just west of Minneapolis -- and work in St. Paul -- just east of Minneapolis. My home course is Midland Hills, in Roseville -- just northeast of Minneapolis and just northwest of St. Paul.

Could you guys post Google map links to your homes.  I'd love to take a look at how you maintain your yards.  btw: For those of you on facebook isn't this duplicitous?

Hello Tommy:
I just spent this past Saturday driving down to Luray Caverns and stopping by a house outside of Sperryville, VA.  Gorgeous area.  I came back and told my wife that I would love to buy property down there.  You are very fortunate to live in such a beautiful area.

Might be duplicative.

"Currently" in Malvern, Pennsylvania.


But, many years ago, I lived in the Twin Cities (rented near the Guthrie Theater and then bought a home in St. Louis Park.) The cliche was (and I assume still is) the only thing harder than getting someone to move to the MSP area was getting them to leave. I get it!

I'll fly the flag for this side of the Atlantic.

I've spent all my life in Edinburgh, Scotland. Born and raised. Never felt a need to relocate, although some of the blue skies I see in photos people post does make me contemplate a move to warmer climes.
