Northwest is long but pretty open. Needwood is entertaining. I'd play both again and I haven't played in years. On account of my narrow urethra.

[BurgundyNGold]

Stealing from Ryan here, we don't want to hear about your Wii
LOL, sorry about that. I thought I could sneak in a King of the Hill reference. ;)

[tbfoster1]

I'd love to make this but I am making plans to bring a friend with a cheap wife to the game.

[skinfanjon]

Depending on when it is and if I can get out of work, I would love to be a part of this. Any course is fine. I'm not a really long hitter, so I would prefer something short and challenging, but whatever is chosen is fine with me. Is there a fee for the day or are we just on our own?

[redskinz#1fan]

I could come to this too, but I haven't played golf in a long time! I will come if you don't have to be a professional. :whoknows:

[rskinsfan10]

I won't go back to U of Maryland, that's for sure.

[CarMike]

I'll be the designated golf cart driver for whoever gets the drunkest!

[redskinz#1fan]

Once again...do you have to be good? :sleeping:

[CarMike]

Once again...do you have to be good? :sleeping:

far from it Drew. I played the past two years. My drives are pretty good. But after that I suck.

We're out there to have a good time. I think I may finished 3 holes in the past two years. If I do to bad, i normally pick up and move on to keep things running smoothly. :)

Well count me in then! I guess I need to start hitting the driving range, so I don't make a complete fool out of myself!:golf:

[RedskinsDave]

I won't go back to U of Maryland, that's for sure.

Come on, you shot around 72. Of course that's because we only played 14 holes but still.

[redskinz#1fan]

Sounds like my kind of players!! :)

[RedskinsDave]

Sounds like my kind of players!! :)

Nah, it got dark. We're more like two rounds in a day type guys. But U of Md was nice enough to close the clubhouse and go home before we got back in. :rolleyes:

[hail2skins]

[RedskinsDave]

Are there any other good options in VA?

Penderbrook in Fair Oaks is pretty good and not too difficult plus it has deals. Fairfax National is nice and wide open so it's good for hackers. I guess most of the other courses are pretty far out.

I'm good anywhere and will bring at least one other golfer.

:lol1: I know a few of those!

[fent]

i'm in again...apologies to anyone stuck in my foursome.

[Ibleedburgundy]

I'll play. Perhaps we can get an earlier start this year if possible.

[hail2skins]

Definately going to tee earlier this year.

[rskinsfan10]

Nah, it got dark. We're more like two rounds in a day type guys. But U of Md was nice enough to close the clubhouse and go home before we got back in. :rolleyes:Exactly. Don't forget about them letting several groups go ahead of us which is why we only got through those 14 holes.

[hail2skins]

Exactly. Don't forget about them letting several groups go ahead of us which is why we only got through those 14 holes.That's the part that pissed me off. They let the one group that was making the turn stand there for about 30 mins. Then they switch us to 9 but they couldn't find the group that was supposed to go in front of us. What a crock. That kid, that was supposed to be the starter, didn't give a damn at all.

[redskin_rich]

I seriously doubt I can make it but if you all decided on Greendale, I might just find a way, just for nostalgic reasons. I have never played that course but I grew up within a 5 minute walk to it.

[rskinsfan10]

That's the part that pissed me off. They let the one group that was making the turn stand there for about 30 mins. Then they switch us to 9 but they couldn't find the group that was supposed to go in front of us. What a crock. That kid, that was supposed to be the starter, didn't give a damn at all.Maybe it had something to do with the UVA towel on my bag...

[hail2skins]

Maybe it had something to do with the UVA towel on my bag...LOL, you could be right about that.

[BurgundyNGold]

Are there any other good options in VA?
Suicide?

:D

[RedskinsDave]

I am actually fine anywhere guys. We will tee off earlier so long as that guy who couldn't tee off early last year is able to tee off early this year. Not that I blame that guy but I'm just sayin.... ;)

[rskinsfan10]

That gave me a whole new respect for the crotchety old man starters.

[RedskinsDave]

Someone just told me Enterprise is really nice. What's the opinion on that?

It's cheap too apparently.

[tbfoster1]

I really want to play this year. I think I might try to talk my friend out of going and just come up alone.

[redskinz#1fan]

I really want to play this year. I think I might try to talk my friend out of going and just come up alone.

I'm definitely going up for this! I'm going to bring wifey to the tailgate and the bowling...but she will be shopping during golf. You should definitely try and make it up.

[fent]

mike, kenny and i played there last year and i recall it being pretty nice for the price. i want to say they'd just aerated the greens, though, so i could blame my putting prowess on something other than my piss-poor stroke. i remember it being, nice, though.

[hail2skins]

Someone just told me Enterprise is really nice. What's the opinion on that?

It's cheap too apparently.Enterprise is a very nice course and normally does well in the ratings. The word I've been hearing from folks is that it gets packed and pace of play is slow. It wasn't like that the last time I played there but it's been over a year.

[tbfoster1]

I'm definitely going up for this! I'm going to bring wifey to the tailgate and the bowling...but she will be shopping during golf. You should definitely try and make it up.

I'm going to start working on my friend today. He's already tried to pull an "I'm not sure if I'm going now" on me so it shouldn't be too hard.

Your not taking the wife to the Closet 6 this year are you?...lol

Is their any format when ya'll play before the the tailgate. For instance does everyone just go out and play their own ball or do you do 2 or 4 man scrambles or something along those lines?

[rskinsfan10]

Enterprise is a very nice course and normally does well in the ratings. The word I've been hearing from folks is that it gets packed and pace of play is slow. It wasn't like that the last time I played there but it's been over a year.It can get like that in the morning. What are we shooting for, another mid afternoon tee time?

[hail2skins]

It can get like that in the morning. What are we shooting for, another mid afternoon tee time?
That was going to be my next question.

Do you all want to start around 11am? Gives everyone time to relax a bit before bowling?

[tbfoster1]

Hey, I just talked to my friend and we decided to try to catch a game together in the middle of the season, so put me down as a yes with a question mark for golf.

The reason for the question mark is now I need to go about finding a single ticket. If/when that happens, then we can remove the question mark

[GeneralDisorder]

Was thinking of joining up - but just found out England play Israel in a Euro2008 qualifier that day.

Gotta find a bar in town that'll open up at 11am now...

There are tons of places who will show the match. You know where you're staying yet? I can find a place easily.

[RedskinsDave]

I am down for an 11 a.m. start.

[GeneralDisorder]

Not got me hotel yet, but I'm looking at the Dupont Circle/Foggy Bottom area. I know of a bar in Arlington - watched the England/Nireland and US/Mexico WCQ's there, but I dunno can't be arsed travelling that far.

And no. Please don't give me directions to the Blue Oyster bar...

Your best bet will probably be Fado' in China Town across from the Verizon Center. To be honest though, if you're in Foggy Bottom, the Orange Line is just as quick to Summer's, the place in Arlington.

[rskinsfan10]

11 am is cool with me as well.

That shouldn't be a problem, cause I have a single ticket to every game this season. It should only cost you about $ 50 dollars. This shouldn't be a problem cause I should have seats elsewhere in the stadium.

[tbfoster1]

Sweet, thank you!! I'll PM you for details.

[hail2skins]

Ok, I'm going to need a final count. So far I have:

hail2skins

RedskinDave
CarMike
fent
tbfoster
skinfanjon
redskinz#1fan

So far we have 9 people. If we can get 3 more we have can 3 groups. I need everyone to confirm that they are in.

I'm looking at Enterprise and Patuxent Greens so I need numbers fast.

[HAWGZHEAD]

How far are these courses from the stadium? I ask because I am staying at the Largo Radisson again this year near FedEx.

[hail2skins]

How far are these courses from the stadium? I ask because I am staying at the Largo Radisson again this year near FedEx.about 20 mins away from the stadium

I'm there...I booked a room for Friday through sunday at Greenbelt Marriott. How far is that from the course

[hail2skins]

We're down to 8 now. That makes 2 groups.

[hail2skins]

I can always get one or two to round things out.ok, I'll keep you informed.

[Malta]

If you consider Redgate - I might want to join you guys. But I am still interested.

[hail2skins]

Okay, so the courses around have been aerated or will be aerated. I am planning on going with Enterprise since folks inquired about it. The greens might be a little bumpy so be prepared. I play Patuxent last weekend and they told me they would be bumpy but I didn't think it was bad at all.

I will be creating two tee times tomorrow so if you're not it, now is the time to let me know. If you want it, you should let me know as well.

[Ibleedburgundy]

I'm definitely in. Never played enterprise before.

[hail2skins]

Okay, so we have the following Tee Times for Saturday, September 8 at Enterprise Golf Course.

11:36 am
11:44 am

Several players can't make it so I have the following peple playing:


hail2skins
rskinsfan10
RedskinsDave +1
fent
IBleedBurgundy
Mark Timms

Right now we have 7. There's room for one more.

[hail2skins]

Anybody else interested? We have room for one more.

[RedskinsDave]

I may have another. Let me check around.

[hail2skins]

Ok Dave

[hail2skins]

Anyone need directions. I didn't think so since no one asked.

[hail2skins]

From the Capital Beltway (I-495), take Exit 17A (Route 202) East. Proceed to 2nd traffic light and turn left onto Lottsford Road. Continue on Lottsford Road to the third light. At light make a left onto Enterprise Road (Route 193). Go approximately 1/2 mile. Entrance to Enterprise Golf Course is on the left.

From Route 301, exit onto Central Avenue (Route 214) West. Continue to intersection of Enterprise Road (Route 193). Turn right onto Enterprise Road. Go approximately 2-1/2 miles. Entrance to Enterprise Golf Course is on the left.

[RedskinsDave]

I have Pete (Giants fan) but can't find anyone else just yet. I will keep looking though if we still need to fill out the foursome.

[hail2skins]

Ok, we still need one more to fill it out. I'll be looking as well.

[fent]

i have one that might be in...he's checking to make sure he's not playing with another group already.

[hail2skins]

i have one that might be in...he's checking to make sure he's not playing with another group already.ok, let me know.

[fent]

ok, let me know.

he's out

[RedskinsDave]

Good time yesterday guys! IBB had an amazing front nine and shot a 38. He had some real nice par saves during those holes too. We should try to get out more than just once a year. I might set some tee times around and post it here and just fill up random foursomes. I have to get out more or I'll keep shooting in the 90's.

[hail2skins]

That works for me Dave.

Had a great time yesterday and I want to thank everyone that came out.

[rskinsfan10]

I'm down as well.

[RedskinsDave]

Does anyone else have a better half that plays? I told L I'd try that too.

[Ibleedburgundy]

Enjoyed it guys. We ought to do this more than once a year for sure. Still have your divot tool Dave.

[RedskinsDave]

Keep it. For some reason, my spare bag I lend out to folks has like ten more in it.
