Coming from Denver, is it better to get to Ogallala and go north or go to North Platte and head up from there?

I've done both but prefer North Platte.  You don't need to go through Mullen which gets a bit tricky.  Most GPS systems have Sand Hills G.C. in their system so you set to them and then go a few miles further north.

in his honor I think the Saturday night after hours party will be in our cabin.
Go ahead, I plan on playing poker in the clubhouse until I have to leave.

Really close, but not yet. I do have the four divisions pretty much flighted now, so thanks to your partner for the suggestion. We're sitting on either 64 or 66 players at the moment and awaiting word on which it will be...should be soon. If you or anyone else has someone they'd like to add now is the time to say "aye"!

You'll be happy to know that one of your fellow Houstonian GCAers, Cliff Walston, signed up today. Cliff is player #67 and I am hoping that the other GCAer who emailed me last night about possibly playing will come forth and claim #68 in order to bring this field into balance once again!

I don't know Cliff, many people avoid me. :'(

I'm very sorry to say that some unexpected work commitments compel me to sit this epic out. To Eric, Ted, and Brian, my pards...my profound regrets. I was REALLY looking forward to this trip and needed the respite. Alas, it isn't in the cards just now. I wish everyone a great experience and vow to get out there soon!

Kris,

It was great talking to you this morning and like I said, we will definitely miss having you there, but it is just another golf trip...many more to be had. :)

All the best,

Eric

So, can we assume that whoever gets paired with Brian is the guy that Eric wants to drop out next?!

Speak of the devil,

That guy is me....for dropping out that is.  Due to both unforseen work and family committments, I too must drop out.  I'm really bummed about this and apologize to Sam, Cory and others with whom I was going to meet up with both before and after the event.


Eric and Chris J,

Please use the deposit I sent in to buy a few drinks for the guys...or as far as it will go! I'm really bummed about this, and sincerely hope I can get out there in the near future.  Thanks again for organizing this and will make every effort for next year.

Thanks for the kind words Eric, I truly am bummed in missing this event.....

P.S.  Make sure to post lots of pics and not just of the golf.  I'm also disappointed I couldn't make a few guys wallets lighter by taking some money off them in the nightly poker game.  :)

As the non-drinker of the group, I think Kalen's deposit should go towards funding the poker game ;D

Okay...

I debated hickories or moderns.  Actually called Eric to tell him I was going hickories...but I've changed my mind.  Going modern clubs, currently 10.1 index.  Playing like crap...but I hope to turn it around for Tony's sake!!!
