Ok so Ronny and I were just speaking and we have come up with a firm date.

Saturday April 22, 2006.

We will likely start tee times at 11:30 am - 12:00, going off of the 1st & 10th tees.

Ronny will make a list of all players, and set start times in a couple weeks when numbers are finalized. He is going through all the posts right now getting numbers. Once he posts a list of attendees, verify that you are on the list, or if not let him know. If you are on the list and can not make it, let him know that as well so we get an accurate count.

The max number we can get to is around 100, but I'm not sure we'll get that high...it depends if TGN members bring others with them.

Price again is going to be as follows ... instead of going with $47.35 to walk ... we are going to make it an even $50, and we will arrange for some finger foods following the golf for everyone with the extra $2.65 each.

This makes it easier for Ronny to collect money, and whoever wants a cart can pay for it themself in the pro shop. Range balls will be complimentary as well.

Hopefully this works for as many people as possible, but we can not accomodate everyone unfortunately.


Please post in this thread if you would like to play. Please refrain from posting unnecessary comments like how bad you're gonna beat your opponents. LOL. This will help organize the thread a little better so the names can be tallied up easily. Also, as funny as it is, don't need to read up on why everybody thinks Fresh has an innie instead of an outtie. :hush:

So, please post on here if you are playing, if you have any guests, and playing level.

I'll be the first:

Ted aka Westbeach, 1 guest, guest and I will play together.

DEADLINE TO SIGN UP APRIL 9th

IF you have requests regarding early tee-times, please do NOT PM me. I am only organizing the list of participants and ALL other logistics are being taken care of Copetown Woods and RockRonny!!!!

[Focker Singh]

I AM IN!! Intermediate player, shoot mid 80`s. Put me with anyone! Thanks guys!

[mikejb]

I am in + 2. I am a 14ish they are 5's to 8's in peak season. In April we will hit em sideways. Names for note of us 3. Mike B (me) Raf and Rob B.

[fresh]

[duffer_devon]

I'll be there. Can't wait.

[Copetown Woods]

I guess I'll play too!! :D

real name is Barry ... normally shoot mid to high 70's here (likely low 80's that early)

[DubRepublic]

Depending on my schedule I may be there. I won't know until about a week before.

[corchard]

I'm in. Could shoot anywhere from mid 70's to 100s. I know that is statistacally improbable but I went through a minor grip change 100 practice hours ago and when I'm on I'm smoking and when I'm off well better not stand down wind.

Charles

[alien270]

early in the season would i be able to join in shooting 120?? :rofl:

[Jaydog]

i'm in and shoot around 100.:fingersx:

oh yeah...i like to walk too.

[Greywolf]

I am in with 1 guest, Ian Hackett aka Greywolf, 12, playing with my other half Mary Hilder.

[racmbs]

I'll join in any foursome that will have me.........

And with any player that I haven't fought with on here in the last 2 weeks :rofl:

[mikejb]

Rac, you might need to wait a few more weeks before making that statement, you do have 30+ days until the tee time.

[Grass Roots Tour]

Im in. Hoping to break 100 and prolly bringing guests who will likely wanna play in my group.

[racmbs]

Rac, you might need to wait a few more weeks before making that statement, you do have 30+ days until the tee time.

Ya basstige! :p :rofl:

[akrus]

I'm in and willing to be thrown into any group that is wants to walk...

[Farmboy]

I'm in and willing to be thrown into any group that is wants to walk...

Giddy up I'm in. But I'm not sure who is going to volunter to try to pick up Al and throw him.:rofl:

[chiantibro]

Count me in. No guests as of yet. GAO index of 15, but I'll play with just about anybody.

[Pingnut]

I'm in for sure and will try to confirm any guests soon.
I'll probably shoot about a 90 opening day.

[Ego Woods]

Me in, about a 15ish, walking. Thx!

[dks_34]

I'm in...Will walk with anyone. Play from the whites and have a 9 handicap/index.

Thanks Heather

[racmbs]

[Titan]

In.

Walking
Play with anyone

Can't wait for the 2006 RR Tour to begin. Thanx again RR

[dks_34]

9 hdcp eh dks? Impressive, haven't played with any women that have been lower than a 30...so yer gonna make the gals proud by comin' out to play and kick some guys butts :D

Yep.....I'm hoping to play well enough this summer to get that lower.

My best round last year was in Myrtle beach, playing Kings North I played the women's professional tees and shot an 83.....ok so I didn't have anything else close to that on my trip..but I'll brag about that one for a while.

Although i will be using the excuse that it is early in the season and when i shoot in the 90s, I won't feel bad. Or maybe i'll use the excuse, it was cold out, too sunny? I'm sure that i will come up with someone to explain my bad play! :D

Heather

[TehFlakes]

I dont have any intentions on carrying my bag. Any one know were i can get some child labour at? if not i'm carting it or pull carting it..

I'll tee it up with albert some walking could be a good thing as long as i dont carry my bag

[racmbs]

Heather

Not to worry, I've got my excuses all written down WAY ahead of time....I'll be happy to share some! :rofl:

[going4broke]

I'm in and since this outing is a great chance to meet you fine TGN folks. I will not bring any of my ususual golf cronies. I am a mid 80's golfer and after two memorable rounds in Dallas /Fort Worth this past weekend am itching to play some Ontario GOLF!

See you out there.

G4B
Jonathan

[TehFlakes]

Not to worry, I've got my excuses all written down WAY ahead of time....I'll be happy to share some! :rofl:

come on scotty....

excuses already.

[kimo62]

I'm in. Plus one guest for me,and if Swingman comes put me in his group.
we'll be walking.

[sdcfan18]

I should be in so long as the finances are in order. I'll play with racmbs, so long as he'll have me (not in that way sicko!). I expect to shoot in the low 80's this time of year. Should be fun to put some faces to names. Anyone doing name tags? :p

[nobdyhere]

Well lets play together Scotty.

and Johnathan is up for joining our group.

So we need one more and our foursome is good to go.

Jason

[Ems]

omg, i can't believe I'm signing up to play :eek: My best score is about 120, prefer to walk with pull cart. I'm willing to pick up the ball if it gets that bad...:help:

[Rocknronny]

Someone has jumped the gun on this a bit.The point of this outting is to meet and and golf with new peaple so the foresomes will be made up randomly.Once the groups are posted(April12) PM your partners.Anyone who came out last year will most likely be in a group of peaple who didnt as this was the plan from the beginning.Remember this is not a tournament its a day of fun and meeting new peaple.
Cheers
RR

[KingCobra]

I'm in, I range from 90 to 110 @ this time of year!:D

[2manybuds]

Please count me in.
I'm shooting in the low 90s.

Please inform if this outing will be group randomly or not. I will bring a few friends, so I would like to know if we will be group togather.

Thank you all for organizing this outing.

[TehFlakes]

There's Two. Two More Walkers needed:D

[westbeach]

Ronny, are guests of members going to be randomly paired as well? So if somebody brings their wife or girlfriend, they can be expected to be split up?

[Copetown Woods]

Ronny, are guests of members going to be randomly paired as well? So if somebody brings their wife or girlfriend, they can be expected to be split up?

No, no .. Guests should play with you ... that is what Ronny and I talked about. I think that no-one should bring more than one guest ... everyone should be coming to this event to meet people and you don't need to meet the people you play with all the time.

[westbeach]

That's what I figured but from the posts above, it seem like foursomes were being picked entirely random. See posts 33 & 37.

[TehFlakes]

I disagree.

I'm coming to this event because i love the course, and want to play it any chance I can. With that being said ,some of us get rides, and we should be paired up accordingly with our rides. The person who maybe driving me could have other plans after this round of golf and being paired up together is ideal.

[The Kicker of Elves]

I'm in, no guest. Will prob shoot in triple digits early in the season, more snowmen than a Calvin & Hobbes collection... ;)

Either walk or ride is fine depending on the rest of the group.

[AnnikaFan]

no clubs in TO

and i got final exams to study for :cry:

have fun tho!

i agree...if im making the 2 hour drive to play, I would really enjoy playing with some people that I've PM'ed/MSN'ed before. I understand the intentions of having a meet and greet, but couldn't that take place afterwards in the club house? Like I say, I would really like to play with at least a partially selected group. I understand the difficulties involved in accomidating everyone, but for me, playing with someone that I've talked to a few times makes the round that more enjoyable.

just me .02 cents

jonathan

[TehFlakes]

excatly for all intentions our ride could have other plans he/she probably doesnt want to wait for us to finish our round if paired seperatly.

I havent played with John yet, sure i'd like to. I can use JAT that round:D or he can atleast bring it so i can drool over it:help: :hush: :help: :hush:

i'm a walker...flakes...im in...will make u feel better outdriving me with a 5 iron lol!!!!!!
There's Two. Two More Walkers needed:D

Last count, we are at 46. Lets try to get to 72.

[TehFlakes]

Yeap. thats what my rant is about.

i want to tee off with the person thats giving me my ride.

[Copetown Woods]

Why are you so afraid to play with new people? We can make sure that whoever is giving you a ride will have a tee off time close to yours. If you play with 3 people you have never played with before, that may give you the chance to find new playing partners for future rounds, and maybe more people to give you a ride to the golf course.

If you are going to say you will just book your own tee-time because you can't play with a certain person, I can book you a tee time right now ... how's 8:00pm sound?

That a boy Barry..you tell em'!!!:)

[akrus]

I don't really see the problem with people grouping with whomever they wish to golf with and then making the remaining people into random groups. It is everyone's own money here and if they want to play with someone because of a ride, a preference to walk or they just feel comfortable on the course with that person, then it should be their choice.

Ronny, you have to remember that some people will be quite intimidated to be out with a bunch of people they've never met before. What's needed here is a more organized method of getting the correct info from all users. WB was on the right track, by asking who's interested in playing. Not sure if handicaps were neccessary - remember, we're just trying to have a fun day out at Copetown.

I suggest that everyone post to indicate the following:


TGN nickname: akrus
real name: Albert Krusvar
cart or walk: walk
preferred playing partner(s) (blank for no preference):
will participate in the skins game (y or n): n
Guest details:


Now, all an organizer needs to do is keep track of these items in a spreadsheet and then everything will fall into place nicely.

Just some ideas I'm throwing out there as I've had experience in organizing tournaments large enough to dedicate the entire coure to, and know just how complex some of the logistics can become.

Good luck to the organizer(s)

I don't think its about being afraid of playing with other people or not. It's about the opportunity to play golf with guys you've built a relationship with. I've met a lot of incredible people already from TGN and have yet to play golf with ANY of them. I think it's only human nature to WANT to play with somebody you have a relationship with already and not necessarily NEED to be paired together.

Regardless, as far as the pairing's go, it's all in Ronny's hand. I'll just tally up the numbers.

For the few ladies, would you feel comfortable playing with guys or would you rather be paired with other ladies?

[fresh]

Am i one of those wb?? lol

personally, as someone who may be driving ppl, it would make it easier to be paired with them, or in groups fairly close to eachother. If need be, I've played many a round with strangers as a walk-on single, and usually have never had a bad time so I am not opposed to playing with some new people. Some of the most exciting and fun rounds have been with complete strangers. But i do understand where Flakes is coming from.

Good idea Albert. The detailed form will make life easier for sure.

I posted the handicap in there b/c if I was a 40 handicap, I would be very nervous playing with a 2 capper and it also would make for very long rounds if everybody played off different tees.

I'm glad the thread is taking shape the way it is b/c all the different ideas different people have come out with can only add to the outings.

Request: Do not want late teeoff


I plan on continuing my earning streak with TGN. I'm 1-0 now with $40 in the bank.:rolleyes: TGN can sponsor me for my future tournament events. :D

BTW to all who are hesitiant in joining, what's the harm in getting your feet wet? All these guys do is joke around, and I got to know 3 others better (mikemakeitso, shark, and Luke forgot his alias). Mike knew the game, the other two just picked golf up a season or 2 ago. Did it hinder or slow down my game? Def not! You meet some awesome people and find new golfing buddies. Hope this helps

[golfguy25]

I think that it is great that we are getting this organized early but it is going to get messy soon. There are a lot of people involved right now that will back out of the event at some point between now and the event. I think that we need to hold off a little and see who is interested a couple of weeks before the 22nd. As well, I think that the number of people involved in organizing the evnt needs to be kept to a minimal (possibly Barry and Ronny).If they need any help I am sure that they will gladly ask for it when necessary.:)

Just my two cents....

[Copetown Woods]

I think Chad has it right ... too many Chiefs, not enough Indians ... I think Ronny should be left in charge of this, and I will give him a hand with setting things up here at the course.

We won't post any lists of who is playing until much closer to the date, because as Chad said, plans change and it will make it much easier to do it the week before.

Ronny .... it's all yours!!!:D

Okay, after getting numerous PM's basically telling me..."Way to go and thanks for wasting my time" (apparently pairings were already done and it now has to be redone). I'm not going to take it anymore. Apparently, it's my fault that people actually might want to play with other TGN members they already know....which I guess is not allowed. Good Luck Barry and Ronny with the outing. I'm stepping off trying to help out.

BTW, to everybody with ideas on trying to make the outing better, don't bother because there is already a "way of doing things that make good for all of us".

As CW said...Ronny, its all yours!! :D

Count me in. I think it'll be great to play with some new people....golf that is.....:$

Put me where you will, I dont really know anybody anyway, but hey, thats the point right?

That time of year I could shoot anywhere between 80 - 90 I guess.....usually in the summer i'm banging on 80's door and breaking it 1/4 - 1/3 of the time.

[akrus]

I guess I can count on you for the name tags then?:rolleyes:

Am I sensing attitude???

You want me to make up name tags??? I'm sure it's not a big deal, but I don't recall volunteering, was just offering up some ideas.

I've seen confusion in tournaments with 20 players and as I've run larger tournaments, I just offered a couple of ideas. You're a mod, you could have deleted my thread if you wanted to iron fist it here.

That time of year I could shoot anywhere between 80 - 90 I guess.....usually in the summer i'm banging on 80's door and breaking it 1/4 - 1/3 of the time.

Hey Andrew if you bring the girl that's your avitar I don't think you will have any problems finding partners. :rofl:

I've just read the post that golfguy made about things getting going too early here, and he's certainly right.

Put me down as tentative until all details are confirmed.

[westbeach]

Thanks....cause ya..that's exactly what I said!!!

???? Care to explain?

[Copetown Woods]

Okay, after getting numerous PM's basically telling me..."Way to go and thanks for wasting my time" (apparently pairings were already done and it now has to be redone). I'm not going to take it anymore. Apparently, it's my fault that people actually might want to play with other TGN members they already know....which I guess is not allowed. Good Luck Barry and Ronny with the outing. I'm stepping off trying to help out.

BTW, to everybody with ideas on trying to make the outing better, don't bother because there is already a "way of doing things that make good for all of us".

As CW said...Ronny, its all yours!! :D

Ted, I see a lot of events happen here, and when too many people try to organize things, it gets over organized and people start doubling up on things etc. I am not running this at all ... I just happen to manage the course that this is being run at. Ronny started this and has dealt with me on the details so far, and it is all set up. If you start trying to get all of these details too early, things will change so much that you basically will have to re-do it all, so it may as well wait.

I don't beleive Ronny is saying step back completely, because their is no doubt, he will need a hand with things closer to the date. Don't take it personally, he's just trying to keep things going how he has originally set it up.

Don't worry about it man!! ;)

???? Care to explain?

YOU quoted ME and then posted your little sob story after. I didn't say that people shouldn't want to help out..it is way too difficult when there are more people involved in organizing something like this. So as I had suggested, I think we should leave it up to Ronny (he has been organizing stuff like this on the site for a while now) and Barry (it is his golf course)!! And the 22nd is over a month away...things will change for lots of people and they will have to back out. I call it right now...a large number of the people that have said they are in...will NOT be there on the 22nd!! That's just the way it goes...suck it up and move on!

[Copetown Woods]

That's just the way it goes...suck it up and move on!

Tell us how you really feel !! :eek:

[dks_34]

For the few ladies, would you feel comfortable playing with guys or would you rather be paired with other ladies?

I, being a lady :D , don't care if I get paired with men or women. I play from the Whites and dont feel intimidated playing with anyone. I might be nervous at first but by playing with someone who is a lot better than me I might be able to learn a thing or 2.

Don't worry about it man!! ;)

Barry, as explained to Ronny, ALL I was trying to do was organize the list of people coming out to CW. From the other thread in the Finding Playing Partners forum, somebody would've had to go through 8 pages just to figure who's playing. Wasn't trying to achieve anything else. No tee times, not pairings, nothing else. If people request playing partners, early tee times, walking/riding, its has nothing to do with the list of people coming out. I'm sure things will change between now and the outing and I'm sure if your course is opened early, you would appreciate finding out the final figures. As Ronny has stated, he wanted the deadline to be April 9 which after this week is only 3 weeks away.

Regardless, good luck with everything and hope you have a great season!! :)

Ok.....what's the problem here guys? People are crapping on westbeach because he's offering to help out with the organizing of this TGN event? Last time I checked, the PGA is not run by one person but rather collectively by a group of people who pool together ideas to come up with the best plan of action to make things run as smooth as humanly possible.

I for one, will not listen to what one individual has planned for this event and would like to hear what ideas other members have to share as well. If I want to play with WB and his buddies, then I'm going to play with them because I want to and not with others that I've been placed with by what appears to be a "self elected commitee" that I'm not involved in.

I'd suggest a few come down off their high horses and let others in that want to get involved to simply lend a helping hand to try and make this event go over without any hitches if possible. This can't be done by one man alone, no matter how much they think they can do it. The more people we have helping, the more potential we have that this event can be a really good one. I do agree that having too many hands in the cookie jar can be a bit confusing, but let's not leave all the decision making and idea creating up to one person........not gonna fly.

I'd recommend that all we get an idea of right now is, exactly how many people want to play and that's it, which is what appears to be happening anyway. When the day comes to meet at CT, I'm sure we are going to get a number of last minute cancellations or no shows and will have to deal with it if/when it happens. As for how the format's gonna work, we can all join up in our own foursomes and have games on the side and if we really want to, get our usual skins game organized that we play at most of our outings together.

This thread has really turned into something that I thought it wouldn't.....

Nobody was trying to be on a "High Horse" Scotty. Read all of the crap posted earlier...can you make any sense of it?? Everybody is saying different things and it just makes no sense at all. We need to have one or two guys working on this and make sure they are on the same page. That is all takes tohave this run smoothly!!!!

[Faemow]

^^^^^ :thumbs_up

Am I sensing attitude???
You want me to make up name tags??? I'm sure it's not a big deal, but I don't recall volunteering, was just offering up some ideas.
I've seen confusion in tournaments with 20 players and as I've run larger tournaments, I just offered a couple of ideas. You're a mod, you could have deleted my thread if you wanted to iron fist it here.

Just be inspired by Martha Stewart, Twisty ties and paper with names attached to them

LMAO.....actually they arent that kind of chickies! They are/were swimsuit models. I might have to jump into the skins game when I bring one of them for my caddy!:D I have some pics of one at one of her professional shoots.:eek:

But this is starting to turn into a thread hijack.........let me know if caddies are acceptable

Gald you see it that way Chad......I think WB was getting jumped on for nothing when all I could see was a guy trying to help out.

We all want this to be fun no doubt and I agree it needs to be handled by more than one competent individual. :)

WB and RR seem to have it together nicely.....I think they both have great ideas and could easily get this organized as a team.

:rofl: :rofl:

Anyways back onto the golfing topic, not sure if you can bring a caddie I guess that would be in Barry's hands. I know with Grassrootstour you can but a little different here. So Barry what's the verdict on the caddy question?

Hot off the press......caddies are welcome just as long as you have an extra one for Barry too. LOL But seriously they're okay if you want to bring one.

Sorry gents, but I'm going to have to cancel my reservation (please hold the applause) because of a conflict in my schedule. Unfortunately, my Sociology Prof thinks that holding an exam on the morning of the 22end is more important than me joining friends for golf and drinks. The nerve of some people! Anyways, have fun folks and I hope they fly straight for ya!

Ok guys, after talking to Ronny, "....the event organizer has asked that all communication for this event be posted by them and directed to them".

So, it might be best to put a hold on "committing" until a later time just so there are no cancellations/back-outs.

Good luck Ronny and it should be a great time for all.

[Rocknronny]

Hi guys
