One of the great things about playing overseas is the music between rounds. My oldest son is going to be in England this summer with his Aunt for a few weeks, and I hope to either meet them in:

1. England for some Coldplay; or

2. Ireland for Mary J and U2:

I have a few things on the radar:

Kingsley/Mines weekend
5-6 day Michigan golf trip
3 day Virginia trip
3 day Pennsylvania or Maryland golf trip
Monterey, California!!!

Also the Reclaimed Mining sites 2 day trip to play Twisted Gun (WV) and then Stonecrest in KY on the way back to Cincinnati.

(of course I will squeeze in 25 more OH, MI, KY and IN courses to push my total past 250)

Possibly somewhere in December 2009 as wel, maybe RTJ GT.

It is truly amazing to see some of these itineraries.   

My Indiana U. MBA crew has expanded to 12 and we are doing Orlando - Orange County National for 4 days in April after last year's cold, cold trip to Albuquerque.   Maybe a side trip to Sugarloaf for a few of us interested.

I hope to get back to Lawsonia this year as a follow-up to last year's initial visit.  Maybe to Indiana for a member-guest at Harbour Trees in Noblesville, an early Pete Dye design.   Outside shot at Sutton Bay.

Despite being a Minnesota resident, have not made to the Brauer Triangle in the Iron Range, I would like this to be the year and would try to make a visit to Northland CC in Duuth, a Ross gem, which underwent a tree removal program over the past couple of seasons.

It has yet to hit 30 degrees F here in the Twin Cities for 2009, so I'll be happy to hit a putt-putt course come Spring.....

Andy, a week or two back I posted a thread about GCAers getting together in June to play at the Quarry (to lukewarm reception). Jeff Brauer even said that he might be up in June and if scheduling permitted, might play with a GCA group. If you're interested, let me know.

2008 will be tough to beat with Olympic, Pasatiempo, Morgan Creek, MPCC, and Kapalua Plantation!

However this year:
 
Bandon - February (soooo excited about this)
Banff/Jasper - July - such a shame I'm an hour away and haven't played Banff yet
Sandhills/Ballyneal - September - wife willing!  ;D

I will be going to Arizona for the first time in March with the golf team for 6 days. It will be my first taste of outdoor golf since the first week of November.

Talking Stick courses
Ocotillo Golf Resort
Pavilion Lakes which is right next to Talking Stick

I had absolutely zero say in where we play since I am just a freshman.
Since I haven't played any of these courses, I would love to hear input about them.

Feel free to call in sick when it comes time to play Pavilion Lakes.  You'd be better off going to the back end of the range at Talking Stick and working on your short game.  Ocotillo's not much better.  If I want to see canals, I'll go to Venice.  Some pretty long walks between greens and tees if you're not in carts. . .

There are a lot of very fortunate individuals on this site!  I'll only see some of those courses in my dreams, I'm afraid.

Still, I'm pretty excited about my trip out west in early August to Victoria, British Columbia for a business/social convention.  While there, I'm likely going to try to play Bear Mountain, Royal Colwood and Victoria G&CC.  Good chance I'll hook up with fellow GCA'er Will MacEwen for a round, as he lives on the island.

Then, the wife and I will be flying to the interior of the province to stay with some friends just outside of Kelowna in Vernon.  While there, I'm going to look into playing Tobiano...I'd also say Dick Zokol and Rod Whitman's Sagebrush but I have a feeling that's a bit of an unrealistic target! :D

Heck, I'm just looking forward to the warmer weather...I'm getting a bit sick of shoveling snow here!

I wasn´t going to be able to attend for unrelated reasons, but the 2009 iteration of my annual high school buddies trip (scheduled for Ocean Hammock in March, just before the Champions Tour event there) just got canceled, largely for economic reasons.

Gerry B,

Who are you?? A President would have trouble putting together an itinerary like that!! 

That is an unbelievable year!  I am truly envious...

I hope you appreciate every round and enjoy it all!

Best of luck,

George

Gerry,
You must either be a single man or have one hell of a wife to let you take all those trips.  If you're married, does she have a sister? ;D

May...A week in Indiana for work with a few rounds played in May (French Lick, Warren Course, etc..).

July...Michigan GCA thing?

June/July...Weekend in Maine...Cape Arundel and the new Silva course.

Hawaii in August? Maybe a few rounds, definately the Lanai 36'er...

Sept...Colorado for work, will hit CommonGround a couple times, maybe Fossil Trace.

Oct...Upstate NY for work, perhaps Columbus Day weekend there as well like 08.

Probably RDU again in Nov/Dec...let's be honest.
