Made a fall trip out east with David Kelly. On the first day was able to tour Sebonac with one of the pros, golfed with Mike Sweeney at Tallgrass, and then golfed with Gene Greco in the afternoon. Next day we were to meet KBM, but he had a last minute meeting come up so I got on the phone and called GCA guys looking for advice of what was near us worth seeing. Wayne Morrison answered, invited us down to see Rolling Green (he dropped what he was doing, came out on a drizzly day, with a bum shoulder no less - absolutely typifies most GCAers I have met, what a great group). While we were playing Mike Malone ran over from the office a couple of times to see how we were doing. When we were done Wayne asked if we wanted to go walk Merion, he asked the pro who was very nice about it, and we walked Merion on a quiet afternoon and just enjoyed ourselves SO much.
Meanwhile Matt Ward was a whirlwind the whole trip giving us advice and taking us to check things out and making sure we weren't getting lost.
Meeting Donnie Beck was an absolute pleasure and he took time out to show us around in spite of being sick.
It is experiences like this that make me want to go out of my way to provide similar experiences to GCA'ers when I am able.
Thanks guys for a memorable trip.
