CHGATrying to gauge your interest in continuing this competition with our friends up in the Commonwealth? We are looking at the last week of March for potentially holding this 2 day Ryder Cup like competition. Probably would have to play this monday/tuesday or tuesday/wednesday, at Midpines/Pine Needles. I'm not sure of the rate yet as March is a busy time and it may be a bit pricey.If you are interested in playing and want to be on the team please respond in kind to this post. The team…See More
Richard Schmidt replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Lang Willie Event and Annual Meeting discussion"Yep I've got the hickory heads. Last group has to pick them up. I've not experienced any level of theft at this point.
I would prefer to use these, rather than paint or flags. My challenge Andrea is if I go to the effort…"
High Point - Emerywood Course Hickory Event at Emerywood Club
March 22, 2019 from 10am to 2pm
We will make our first visit to High Point Country Club's Emerywood Club, March 22. This rediscovered 1923 Donald Ross layout has been lovingly restored and will be perfect for us and our hickories. The nine hold layout It has nice elevation changes, rolling fairways, and smaller undulating greens. We willl go around 2x. Seniors, juniors and those new to the game enjoy Emerywood's shorter length. Better players appreciate the opportunity to keep their games sharp on this challenging course. …See More
Andrea Hodel replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Lang Willie Event and Annual Meeting discussion"I like the idea of the flags better. Lighter for those who have messed up shoulders.
I wasn't thinking of "going crazy" with the paint. Just that it could be seen. Just make orange triangles to signify markers. I do like the…"
Andrea Hodel replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Lang Willie Event and Annual Meeting discussion"That's good too."
Andrea Hodel replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Lang Willie Event and Annual Meeting discussion"That's a great idea too, but then someone would have to be the keeper of the flags."
Lang Willie Engelson replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Lang Willie Event and Annual Meeting discussion"Didn't know you had them, Captain. Jay experienced a level of theft...is that an issue?
Far and Sure,

Richard Schmidt replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Lang Willie Event and Annual Meeting discussion"How about we just use the sawed off hickory heads that I have?
Most courses won’t like us marking up their courses."
Lang Willie Engelson replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Lang Willie Event and Annual Meeting discussion"Brilliant. I'm on it and will pick up some orange for ye, lass.
Far and Sure,
Lang Willie"
David R. Stafford replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Lang Willie Event and Annual Meeting discussion"If you didn’t want to use spray paint you could use flags, like the ones used to mark sprinkler heads. Cheap, lightweight, easily transportable, and provide a better visual for locating when searching for the tee box."
Andrea Hodel replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Lang Willie Event and Annual Meeting discussion"Lang Willie - that would be most fun! I think orange would be a fantastic color! We don't even need tee markers.
Andrea"
Lang Willie Engelson replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Lang Willie Event and Annual Meeting discussion"Andrea - I had the same idea about the spray paint, and therefore think it is a fantastic idea. I'll help in any way and anytime I can. You pick the appropriate color and I'll even buy the paint.
Far and Sure,
Lang Willie"
Andrea Hodel replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Lang Willie Event and Annual Meeting discussion"Bob,
I'm more than willing to put the tee markers out as long as I have an "assistant" for when I can't do it. I can also demonstrate to my assistant, the proper distance they should be placed. We can take spray paint and…"
Andrea Hodel replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Lang Willie Event and Annual Meeting discussion"Lol!"
Bob Georgiade replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Lang Willie Event and Annual Meeting discussion"Andrea, Can't account for the bourbon people since I met them but don't know them. The bag guy was probably just jealous of the lovely bags made by 'The Bag Lady". He might also have been jealous that you beat him by almost 70…"
Bob Georgiade replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Lang Willie Event and Annual Meeting discussion"Andrea, On point comment about Ladies yardages and tees. Since Jay Harris moved we don't have anyone willing to put out shorter tee markers for the Ladies. Anyone want to step up? Bob"

Hello all and thank you for accepting me into this organization. I have just recently discovered and acquired some hickory golf clubs and have found a new spark for the game of golf with these. Looking for any information and direction as I am in the midst of putting together my first set. Any information and help would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to hopefully be involved in future events and getting to know some of you.

Hello, I just joined the group last night and am looking forward to playing. I love the tradition and history of the game. Does anyone know of a good source of hickory clubs other than the bay? Swap meets etc.. possibly in NC?
Thanks

I am overwhelmed by the response to our tragic loss. The outpouring of wishes, food, labor, contributions,etc is beyond comprehension. Thank you all.

An anvil too soon silenced. My son Evan died today. The son any parent would wish for, the husband and father too good to be true, the dedicated farrier all horses dream of, went out to work around his new farm and for no apparent reason just died.
To lose a parent is to lose touch with…

Roaring Gap a Hit Again
Jay Harris once again hosted a wonderful Hickory event at Roaring Gap CC. The course is a treat to pay using hickories and the greens are terrific. Weather was perfect for the 24 players and this is something you should not miss next September. Thanks to Jay for all his efforts.
