Colorado WRX 2017

[CDM]

Red Hawk Ridge still hasn't announced a date yet. I also no longer can do the weekend of 10/14 since my wife will be out of town. (And the kids are too young to leave at home alone for 5 hours.)

 

I think he may have been referring to the outing Brian was trying to put together based on the poll results.

 

Brian???

 

 

Not sure if Brian got it put together or not yet, but was looking like MID October I think?? Last post he noted he was going to close the poll.

Hey Gents... My buddy Tim works for Bandon Dunes in social media/marketing. He sent me a quick survey about some of their recent advertising in the Denver market. He asked if I could forward along to other CO golfers that I know. If you guys could take a quick moment, I'm sure he'd appreciate it!

Filled it out. That commercial does inspire me to go back sometime soon lol.

 

Sooooo yeah, as I said, I missed the cut this weekend. I started out ok but making a 9 on the 13th hole was pretty painful especially considering I really only hit one terrible shot. BUT, that's golf.

 

Thankfully I've met some super-badass dudes on here and those of us that missed the cut went and played the Norman course at Red Sky Ranch instead on Sunday. I LOVED that course. We got the play the Fazio on Thursday but it didn't live up to the hype in my opinion. However, that Norman course is awesome.

 

Ironically, the tournament yesterday got to experience two rain delays and an overall 7 hour day when all said and done. Weather was gorgeous for us..... Suckers!! Lol

 

If I'm lucky I'll be able to make a couple trips next year to visit Chris and have a great time. It wasn't just the great golf, the dude is a blast to play with.

 

THANKS AGAIN CHRIS!!!!

 

Loved Norman! Thanks Chris!!

[Andrew M]

Thanks all for the encouraging words -- it does help to see that everyone has gone through similar.

 

I checked my swing on video, and for whatever reason the issues have just gotten worse than they have been. Videos are on their way to Monte, and here's to hoping I can get a little out of this mess.

 

I try to enjoy golf to get away from the stress of real life, but sadly it seems the opposite has come lately -- real life impacts the game, and vice versa. It's a nasty cycle.

 

Here's to hoping my swing isn't completely un-recoverable.

Filled it out. As someone who has never been there I need to get there!!

[brianhorne8]

Sorry for the delay. I've been busy with work/travel for work. After the poll has been closed, it's officially a tie between the weekends of Oct. 14/15 and Oct. 21/22. I'm unavailable for the 21/22, so my vote selfishly lies with the earlier one...but I'm not going to be the one to break the tie.

 

Thoughts on what we should do with this dilemma!? And we should talk courses, regardless of timing.

[thaar]

I'm gone that weekend too, so selfishly I vote for the 1st weekend, preferably the 15th ☺️

[pseudoswede]

Most of the people on here have no problems playing two weekends in a row. :)

 

How about an outing on the 14th/15th, then another one for the potential scramble at RHR on 10/22?

[CDM]

Either works for me but would lean to the 14th/15th if pushed as I was good with both 14/15 and 21/22nd. Courses I am down to travel since I live out by Murphy Creek, so unless we play there I have to travel anyway. RHR, Dunes, Common Ground, etc....??

Removes my guilt in hoping for the first of those two options.

2nd this. I can play both/either so we might as well.

Well crap, I can't play either.

 

Make sure you post some pics and tell some stories. I'll have to catch it next time.

[TheKrushh]

I should be good on either. Where we playing?

[Gmcourtney]

I voted for 10/21-22 since the wife is out of town that weekend... but I should be good for the prior weekend if we plan on Sunday 10/15. I don't think I can do Saturday the 14th.

 

I've actually got a lot of bachelor time coming up in October, the wife is also out of town from 10/7-13... so if anyone wants to play on either the 7th or 8th let me know.

[thaar]

I may be able to pull off one of those days...

[pseudoswede]

Wow. Jacob's girlfriend must have him locked up inside a dungeon or something....

[CDM]

I should be good on either. Where we playing?

 

Having tried this in the past with others we should probably pick a price point (straight golf fee.... as some walk some ride some use push carts). Only noting this as ranges could be from $30-150.00 or so.

 

Seems like most decent courses will run $45-60 without cart.

 

Edit: I am open to most fees for the record

I can do the 7th but we're leaving for Cali on the 8th. Where do you want to play and does any one else want to join?

[brianhorne8]

Glad to see a lot of folks are in for either weekend. I'll happily head up setting up the first of the two. Biggest two questions are now that we've landed on the 14/15th, which of those two days is best? My vote's for the 14th, since my wife can watch the kid that day and she's got a commitment the next day. Childcare would effectively double the cost of the round...so I'll opt for Saturday if we can.

 

Second question is location. I'm a certainty to walk unless we get a time that includes carts. Even then I think I'd still prefer walking. My target price rang is $60 max. Favorites of mine are Murphy, Riverdale, Walnut Creek, and GVR, though I'm happy to play anywhere else.

If there’s no objection to a newbie getting in on this, I would certainly like to join in and play on Saturday the 14^th. I could play on the 15^th, but I have tickets to Sunday night’s game – that makes for a very long day.

 

I’m ok with a price under $100, but riding is mandatory for me. I’m open to whatever course you guys decide on (a cart path only course would not work) - I only know a few courses and look forward to playing something different.

 

Let me know how this works – do I need to send you a check? Thanks for volunteering to organize this, Brian!

[thaar]

I can only do the 15th unfortunately. Im down to play anywhere so I'm good with any of those choices.

As far as I'm concerned, you're welcome to join!

I'm really hoping to be able to meet and play with you guys. But I think we have a big interclub matchplay event that weekend. Probably my last tournament here before we move.

 

If that doesn't happen I would be OK with either day, just about anyplace is fine, and while I will walk, I'm normally a rider.

Hadn't really given it too much thought. Likely somewhere "south-ish", but I'm open to anything. I'll PM/post again as we get a little closer, and can make some plans.

I just checked with the wife, and the 14th is definitely out for me. I've got to pick her up at the airport at 8am, so early times are no good, and we've got concert tickets for that evening, so later afternoon times are no good either. If we do the 15th, I'm in. With regards to where, I don't really care at all. I'm open to any place / price range / walking or riding... I'd say, since you're the one doing the legwork to get things organized, I'd say just make the call someplace that's convenient for you.

[Andrew M]

Would it work, maybe, to do a split event with some of the more northern CoWRXers and some of the more Southern ones? If we had enough folks it would be a lot of fun to do a Northern one. I'd like to join in but any place like GVR or the area will be about 2 hours travel.

 

Just a thought.

[masamitsu]

Andrew - Enjoyed playing Ute Creek with you and Ryan yesterday. You guys are a blast to play with and your brother is such a chatter box :P

 

Oh, update you WITB. You want to pimp that new driver. :)

[brianhorne8]

Anyone interested in playing Friday afternoon? Thinking I might get out around 1:30 or so.

Brian, I'm free to play any where, any day. I have votes for courses but I don't care enough to throw them in. It appears based on all the discussion that we just need to pick something and let people show up if they want/can.

 

Give me a where and when and I'll be there.

I can understand this but I would vote against it for this specific time. Most of the guys are south so I'm fine driving. Personally I'd rather meet the most amount of people possible so whatever gets more people there is what my vote is.

 

Andrew, if you want to do one specifically on the north side, lets organize that one. Maybe we do it on the weekend after that one (21st, 22nd)

Brian and I are going to play Nash Friday around 2PM. I'm going to book 4 today so let me know if you want any of the other two spots. Since you're playing with me, it will be cheap.

[thaar]

I could be down with that. Let me clear it with the Mrs first to make sure we don't have any commitments. Calendar is open, but that doesn't mean anything lol
