Wade, sounds great, not only do I love the sound of all that incredible golf, but to add clubhouse lunches and drinks at sundown, and supermodels, well...that really does sound like paradise.

Where does one stay on a trip like that?

I would start with the old and end with the new - same plan for Bandon, work in contruction progression, seeing each in a sense before the others existed.

Wade,

Without question, the winner of the George Cup should get an automatic invite.

I think there will be ample support for this.

Consider my support ample  :)

I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

WW-This is too far out on the east end for where you are playing. You have a number of reasonable options in Riverhead.

Oh, I think this is exactly right.

Err, you meant last year's winner?

Now we're thinking just one course per day.

1. Shinnecock
2. Friars Head
3. Plainfield or Deepdale

Any feedback on Plainfield/Deepdale v. Sebonak?

On dropping National for a full day at Shinnecock?

I'm the only GCAer on the trip, so please consider a more normal approach/perspective.

dropping National for anything would be a huge mistake
Unless flying into Newark, why Plainfield?(not on Long Island)
that said, I'd play Plainfield (or 10 other courses actually on Long Island) over Deepdale

National is my favorite golf course in the world and the one I least understood after just one play.  Missing it is a huge mistake.

I have no problem saying Plainfield is Ross' best.  It's worth playing!

Wade-You are over thinking this. You had it right in the original post. Things started to spin out of control when you asked about the Memory Motel. Doc Greco gave you all the advice you needed....

Do many of the elite Long Island courses share connections? In other words, are you pulling one string or several to create such an itinerary? Best of luck sir.

Of sebonack, friars, shinnecock & NGLA.....  Sebonack was by far my least favorite. I wish they could have kept Nicklaus off the billing.

Fishers, Piping rock & creek are all ahead of Sebonack.
