Where is Everyone?

[TimV]

I'm asking this in a general way like... I live in south Florida... or more specifically... I live in Margate Florida.

I'm not asking for addresses and phone numbers here. I was just thinking it would be fun to find another Vintage Player in the general area to play an occasional round with. If everyone calls out we might find some new playing friends.

I do get tired of being the only odd ball on the course sometimes. ;)

You might try posting on the Florida forum.

We discussed a vintage event a few years ago, and Stu offered to host in SC, then things fell apart a bit.

I know we're spread everywhere from the Canadian Prairies, to Minnesota, from Florida, to California.

Was letting my wife know the other day we'll be going down to SC in one of the next two winters - have to go for a round with Stu and Randy. Maybe you guys could meet in Georgia for a round?

The past couple of winters my wife and I have made our way down to Florida to catch a bit of spring training. We found the best route for us (coming from Ontario) is to go I77/79 through Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Columbia, Savannah, etc. I'm pretty sure that we almost drive right by Stu and Randy. It would be fun to stop by that vintage golf shop in Lenoir one year too, so if you ever get this together, count me in!

[oldschoolrocker]

Liking this idea....

[stevemcgee99]

I think a winter game in the South would be good for my persimmon's health.

[ScooterMcTavish]

Pretty sure we could convince the battery bunny and Uncle Bob to join us too. They're stuck in the midwest all winter.

Guessing Tim is looking for a slightly more regular Floridian partner, however.

[/quote]If you went through Columbia you were about 170 miles from me if you were on I 95 and went through Florence SC you were about 80 miles from me. Going through Savannah you were probably 60 maybe 70 miles from Randy

We're on I 95 from Jacksonville until we get to I 26 to head to Columbia. From there we head north to Charlotte on I 77 until Beckley and then cut cross country to I 79. We may not have been real close, but it was in the neighbourhood!

[oldschoolrocker]

And a fine neighbor indeed, although, it gets better the closer one gets to the Lowcountry. I am sure Stu could find a few suitable places to play. I hear tell they have a couple in Myrtle Beach?

[Fellaheen51]

This is intriguing, "Geezer Golf". Or the first annual "Classic Posters Shootout". The Mrs. has wanted to go to Charleston, SC and Savannah for some time. All obligations that has required us to stay close to home are now over. The logistics are daunting (heck, I have issues with my golf buds and they live 5 miles away) but it would be a gas if we could pull this off. Something in March? Let's keep this one percolating as we move forward towards next year. Bookmarked for future reference.

How many strokes are ya'll giving me?

[oldschoolrocker]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPARTAN.

[Fellaheen51]

Thx OSR (et. al.). Wish I could say that I did something fun and exciting today, but alas not to be. After the Monsoon weekend, had to catch up on yard work. Hope to play tomorrow.

[oldschoolrocker]

The great thing about our birthdays, they belong to us and can be celebrated whenever we choose. As I age, if it rains on my birthday, I just reschedule it, lol.

Ditto!

[NRJyzr]

I'm not sure y'all would wish to have my swing inflicted upon you. If you were to sign a waiver, maybe we could make some effort in that direction. LOL

Tim, as you can see to the left, I'm in Minnesota. Twin Cities, to be a bit more specific. The Land of Transplanted Scandanavians.

I visited that area a couple of times back in 2008-09. Beautiful country and some of the nicest people anywhere.

I'm just west of Atlanta.

I'm in Wisconsin and +1 on the niceness of Minnesotans--HC is right!

I grew up in mpls and was there until 1996. I'm in the Joliet IL area now.

[Sean2]

I spent my formative years in Joliet.

[TimV]

Interesting. Several Mid-Westerners. I moved my broken body down here from SW Wisconsin 6 years ago because the winters there were kicking my @ss. I also enjoy being able to play golf year around.

[HoganApexBlades]

Right along the Northern IL/Southern WI border. Grew up in the Northwest suburbs and then lived in the Western suburbs of Chicago until a few years ago.

[johnnydman]

I'm in Columbus, Ohio. Always up for a game if anyone is passing through.

I lived for a time SW of Atlanta in Newnan. Beautiful town. Then a few years in Marietta.

[Parmstrong]

I'm in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I usually play at Maple Ridge Golf Course which is a muni in town. It is one of the few public, parkland-style courses around here. However, in a couple of days I get to play at the Calgary Golf & Country Club. It is a 1922 Willie Park Jr. design which is the oldest private course still in play in Alberta. Now I just have to decide which clubs to take with me.

[jbucher]

I reside in Seattle,WA. I do like the expressions on playing partners when the head cover comes off. In the Robin Williams movie Worlds Greatest Dad, the golf scene was filmed on my home courses 12 hole at Jackson Park.
