Thanks!

I went ahead and reserved a foursome at TPC Deere Run for Friday, September 29th at 8AM. Let me know if you want to join me. This will be for those who want to do 18 in the morning, then another 18 at Davenport.

It's $108 for the round, but you save $27 by booking this far out (will be $135 30 days out) and I can cancel 48 hours out, so I figured why not.

Darn it Chriss, I want to play TPC too, but am a bit more interested in Arsenal Island.....decisions...maybe someone with more local knowledge can change my mind.

I fully reserve the right to change my mind and play Rock Island Arsenal. I just thought I'd get something on the books when I could. I can always cancel the reservation if no one wants to play.

[C. Sturges]

It is with great sadness, but I am no longer able to play.


Thank you for all your hard work.


Go Team East!

[Ken Fry]

Unfortunately, I've also had to pull out of the Mashie.  I sent Vaughn an e-mail expressing my gratitude for putting together what will certainly be an outstanding weekend!!

GO TEAM EAST!!

[Jason Thurman]

Unfortunately, I must also withdraw from the Mashie. As long feared, I will be moving in September and I'm just not going to be able to pull off a weekend away. It's a shame, as this is one of my favorite weekends every year and this year's course lineup looks absolutely perfect for the event.

[Tyler Kearns]

Vaughn,


I will try and sort something out on my end to make the Mashie. My wife has an exam on the following Monday and leaving her at home with two kids for 3-4 days beforehand isn't exactly ideal prep for her!

[Richard Hetzel]

Vaughn,


Looks like I am out now as two of my boys now have soccer tourneys scheduled in different cities/states that weekend. Ughhhh....

[Criss Titschinger]

East down four people just like that, including 2 fellow Cincinnatians. Ouch!


I'm still coming, and bringing the Mashie with me. It's had a good home in Cincy for the past year, but time to pass it on.


I still have that tee time at Deere Run on Friday, 9/29 at 8AM; though with Rich out, it looks like I might be solo on that one.

[Buck Wolter]

Hotels look to be filling up in CR --I didn't contact the Hotel Kirkwood where Vaughn set up a rate as I was using Hilton Points but I would suggest everybody get on it.

[Tyler Kearns]

Vaughn,


Looks like I am back in for the Midwest Mashie.


Tyler

[Bill Seitz]

I am unfortunately going to have to withdraw from this due to events beyond my control.  Really sorry to be missing both a great event and some great courses.

[Buck Wolter]

I will make my annual request -- change Sunday to 2- 9 hole matches rather than 1-18 hole match. Having been on both sides of a drubbing that barely made it past 9 I think it would make it more interesting. Would change the totals points but very little else.

Buck might be on to something. I've had great success in my 9 hole matches in the Mashie.

[Joe Lynch]

Vaughn,

It kills me to inform you I won't be able to make the upcoming Mashie.  I have to fly out to Palm Springs that weekend for work and I'm terribly sorry for any inconvenience.  I hope you guys have an incredible time at CRCC. 

Joe Lynch

[Josh Bills]

I am now out.  I have a work obligation unfortunately.  I saw the actual Mashie on Sunday and am sorry to be missing this opportunity.  Sorry for so late a cancellation.


Josh

[V_Halyard]

MASHIE CONFIRMATION Emails have been sent!

Josh and Joe, you were still on the list but I see your notes here and am sorry you cannot attend. As a United Airlines Frequent Hostage, I fully understand.
All others, If you are interested in joining our battle in the Field of Dreams, please send me a GCA PM or post here. Final Payment due this weekend.
Love to have you.
Thanks
Vaughn

I am planning on spending a couple of days in Iowa before the Mashie. I have arranged a round at Wakonda on Wednesday morning. If anyone would like to join me (there is one opening), let me know.

[Criss Titschinger]

I'll be in Des Moines on Thursday. I have a round arranged at Wakonda in the morning, though you'd have to check with them if more can join that time.


My afternoon that day is TBD. I have a fall back tee-time at Harvester at 3PM if DMG&CC can't be arranged. If you're interested in either of those, let me know.


Still have two openings for Friday at Deere Run at 8AM. With Bill and I.

[John McCarthy]

Does anyone have room for a single at Davenport CC on Friday?  My playing partner had to back out.

[Criss Titschinger]

Looks like it's just Bill and I at Deere Run Friday at 8AM. I released the other two times to the course.


I spoke with Davenport today and they have us going out between 12 and 1:30 on Friday. I would like one of the later times to have a quick break between rounds.


I did get confirmed at DMG&CC for an afternoon round Thursday. PM me if you want to join.


It's officially Mashie week! Area saw some rain yesterday, but a great forecast for this weekend! See you all then.
