Gents:

Dates are set for a reprise of last year's GCA Ballyhack event and the 2nd Annual Saul Shootout for The George Cup (brought to you by MasterCard).

Players from last year will recall that fall aerification takes place in mid-September (which staff rescheduled to accommodate our event).  Cottage reservations, maintenance, and other circumstances have conspired to produce dates of October 19-21.  Yes, that's the same weekend as the Dixie Cup!

I am posting to ping interest in a Ballyhack event that weekend.  Dixie Cuppers are out, obviously, but I'm wondering if there might be enough "other" guys to host an event.  Twelve (or more) seems to be a reasonable threshold.

I certainly don't intend to compete with the Dixie Cup and don't think my invitation will cause any problem there; if it seems to, please advise so I can adjust my idea.

Please send me a message (email to wade@wadewhitehead.com is preferred) if you are interested in participating.  Details, including cost, will be shared once I receive preliminary replies.

Thanks.

Wade, I'd be interested to play Friday and Saturday.

[Wade Whitehead]

I've received several responses thus far.

I'll continue to collect and will be in touch with more information soon.  Interested players, let me know.

Just wanted to bump this. Wade, is this still going to happen?

[Kevin Lynch]

I hope many others can attend - it's certainly a great event.  Wade is a master organizer and chooses formats which ensure you will have fun.   Ballyhack is a definite "must see" for GCAers (if not just for the tee shot on #2 alone).

As always, these GCA gatherings are a great way to meet new friends who share the passion for the game.  Three of the people I met last fall ended up joining my "local friends trip" this spring to Pinehurst. 

Hope to see some of you in October.

[Wade Whitehead]

Gents:

Sorry for the delay.  Finalizing some information here.

I hope to send details to interested parties later tonight.

Thanks for your patience.

I too would be interested in Friday and Saturday.
Thanks Wade.

To all who are even remotely interested.....

I' would strongly encourage you to find the time and coin to participate.  This will be the first of Wade's outings that I'll miss, and that's only because of the Dixie Cup.  I love Ballyhack (both the course and the experience).  You won't be disappointed.

I am interested, live in Tidewater VA, in-laws lived in Roanoke, very familiar with the town ... will talk to friend Scott Weersing on this site

[Wade Whitehead]

Gents:

Email has been sent to responders.  Please check, read, and respond.

Jamey, I'm sorry about the conflict this fall.  The event will ring a bit hollow without you, and I'll bet nobody eagles 11!  I know the Dixie Cup will be a blast.

[Wade Whitehead]

Correct dates for the event are October 19, 20, and 21.

Email sent earlier contained incorrect information.  Sorry for any confusion.

WW

[Wade Whitehead]

Eight positives so far.  Please send status quickly if you're planning to attend.

Thanks.

Looking forward to three glorious days of golf, food and evening college football...it siplmy doesnt get any better than that...thank you Wade for the efforts to put this together.

[Wade Whitehead]

I have ONE spot remaining in the George Cup field.

If interested please contact me immediately.  I'm in the final planning stretch and will be finalizing plans within a few days.

Thanks for your interest and questions.

Will it snow?   I'll never forget the hot chocolate Lester and Jonathan brought around.  What a day.  Have fun while we are sweltering in the low country of South Carolina!

[Lester George]

Wade,

I would take the one spot left if I was going to even be close to Virginia those days.  Even though my golf is dissapointing to me right now, I would have jumped on it. 

Thanks for continuing the tradition of the Saul Shootout and I hope to get a chance next year.  Maybe we can move it to September before the aerification because the course was extraordinary three weeks ago.

Even though my golf is dissapointing to me right now

You've gotta be playing better than "radio boy" from our round last year! Unforgivable and unforgettable.

This looks like fun, but I'm already playing another great southern course that weekend. Hope to make this one year!
 

[Wade Whitehead]

Lester: I snuck out Sunday evening and the course is returning quickly.  This month's aerification was aggressive as always but the ground game was ever present and the greens were already very smooth.  We'll toast a glass or five to you that Saturday night and will simply force you to attend next year.

WW

[Jason Topp]

Have a great time everyone.  I am sorry I will miss it.  Work commitments have kept me away from traveling that time of year.

[Wade Whitehead]

All details and information were emailed to the field today.

Lester was on site this morning and sends his best wishes for a fun event.

Let me know if you have any questions.  See you in three weekends.

WW

[Wade Whitehead]

Congratulations to Andy Hughes on his blowout victory this weekend.  He played well wire to wire and performance less poorly than most on The Quiz.

Thanks, everyone, for visiting Ballyhack.

[Lester George]

I think you should give the GCA crowd a sample of the QUIZ questions for fun.  I thought that was one of the most unique things I have seen at an event in years, except for maybe you Wade.

Just like a teacher to give a quiz for extra credit.  Hope everyone enjoyed the PERFECT weather this weekend.  Please tell the Dixie Cuppers that the weather was PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!  I wish they could have had that as well.

You warned me!!   

[Wade Whitehead]

Lester:

Performance on The Quiz was abysmal.  Of ten questions only two players answered four correctly (and that included a gimme question about the sixth hole).

The weather really was amazing.  Once the sun cleared the mountains conditions were simply perfect.
