It's back for the 3rd year!

Friday morning during the Expo the hardcore fools get up around 8am and head out to Golf Course to play with some balls....

Since it is almost April it is time to get a list of who would like to participate this year in an event sure to be full of lulz :bigggrin:

What you need to know:

The course: http://www.maplelanegolf.com/

The cost: http://www.maplelanegolf.com/rates.html

NEW RULE THIS YEAR!:
last year the game took almost 6 hours including lunch. WAY TOO LONG. This year there will be a 2 putt rule once on the green. If you don't know what this means, don't worry about it, we'll explain when the time comes. We need to keep the golfing event to 4 hours max so people don't miss other events.

I'll post more details down the road.

SO WHO'S IN!?

    Provided that I actually make it to EPIC, which I plan on but can't say 100% yes at this time, I am in for Golfing.

    You driving by my house? If so, can I drop a few things with you? If not, I'm a maybe for golf unless someone can bring a set for me.

    Oh Hell yes, been waiting for this post. I am 100% in but do not have the ability to bring clubs. Does the course have rentals? I could not find this information on the website, I can call later if none of you know.

    Also are there shens afoot? I thought the Cat wasn't going to be at Epic? Still planning but not attending?

    Thanks,

    -Bobby

    the fatcat is everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

    right now I'm just doing my job, cause I'm so %#$%#@ good at it :wink:

    you'll know I'm coming to expo if you see Boulevard beer everywhere :D

    you can rent clubs at the course, but they are from like 1913.

    I have a spare set at ICHQ right now and Ryder usually brings a couple extra sets of clubs with him ^5

    I'm surprised people don't just double up with someone that has clubs.

    Golf Etiquette frowns on that ardi, and most courses have rules that every golfer has their own clubs
  • ardichokeardichoke Icrontian

    Bah... I'm not much on pointless etiquette. As far as I'm concerned, if two people are sharing a cart already, it's not going to slow down play any significant amount to share clubs as well. Still need to drive to both peoples ball and usually have to wait for the person to make their shot before moving on.

    So, you willing to stop and grab a PC and Golf Clubs for me? I'd be willing to donate some cash for gas.

    Lately, I golf once a year... at the Expo Golf outing. By hole 10, I'm warmed up and playing OK. ;D

    I can likely convince someone from Cinci to cart my set up to ICHQ again this year.

    I have clubs of my own. No extras.

    Also, I'd like to reiterate that I'm in provided I actually make it to EPIC. I want to, I'm trying to, I just can't say 100% that I will be there yet.

    understandable ardi

    I probably didn't mention this in the original post, but we will be playing scramble style golf. teams of either 3 or 4 play best shot. also there will be a 2 putt rule once your team gets on the green. 2 putt rule is everyone on the team gets one chance to putt into the cup, if none of the players on the team make it, you pick up your balls, add a stroke and head to the next hole.

    this rule is to keep the pace so we don't take 6 hours for the golf event. this is a common rule on any scramble style of golf when you don't have all day to play.

    also, you will need to supply your own golf balls, tees, water(whiskey) etc. this course allows sneakers, so don't worry about golf shoes.

    now, has anyone seen Ryder? he should have posted something in here by now :tongue:
