SW FL Get-together

Noon is much better for me and so is Country Creek. I just have to find it. lol
so as long as nothing else changes, I'l be meeting you all then.

Corkscrew's only 5 minutes more for me, no problem. So, anyone can get thru the gate to the clubhouse?

okay, we will plan on noon at country Creek.

I will see if we can get the garden room.

Easy to find
Exit 123, corkscrew road.
go West toward Hwy 41 and the gulf., probably about one mile,
2nd stop light on right is Country Creek, front entance is not gated
You will go straight and see the clubhouse.
I will make reservation under Marks.

Hoping to see:
JLB and guests, conch Man family, Sea six, Don, JoAnn, and maybe Mil.

And anyone else out there is welcome.

Noon @ Country Creek on the 7th is very doable for me!! Thanks for making it possible for all of us to meet....and I'll finally get to see "Rapmarks" house...and them again! And to meet the rest of y'all.

When you turn into Country Creek, there will be a stop sign almost immediately. The clubhouse is the building directly in front of you across the intersection.

(Unless they moved it after remodeling it last year. )

If you're coming by helicopter, it will look like this. You should be able to find the big red A pretty easy, although that is not where the clubhose is.

I'll finally be able to put faces to some familar names. See you then.

JoAnn, we are so glad you will be able to attend the get-together. I'm excited that I finally get to meet you after all these years. See ya then & thanks for attending our little ceremony on Monday. :whoopie:

I'm looking forward to it too. See ya then.

a reminder

lunch on Monday at 12:00 at country Creek Restaurant in Estero on corkscrew Road

see you all there!

See you guys at high noon! If you need a head count - I will be alone, as the Mrs C6 will be working.

I'm looking forward to meeting you all.

SW Florida Luncheon

Have a great gathering....it will be nice to read the post lunch posts.

Have fun.....

We will be in Cocoa Beach on Jan 12th for 2 weeks, then to Treasure Island for 3 weeks.

You're making us jealous and wishing we weren't working at the moment. We played Hunters Ridge back in '92 and almost bought a house in that community, probably be worth loads now, in spite of the down turn. I remember it being a great course. Also remember playing a course off Corkscrew Rd., it may be a different course than you're playing, I remember it being very tight with homes close to the fairway's edge.
Hope you all have a great time.

Day 3, another 80-degree day.

Golf twice so far . . . Heading to TUG lunch in a few minutes.

Staying in a nice, spacious, quiet resort. Mini-review some day when I'm on a real computer.

SilVib ~ Hunters Ridge is a very nice course, just played there last week & in case you didn't know, its private now. The course that you may be referring to off of Corkscrew Road is Stonybrook, I think or Country Creek? Anyways, both courses are great to play.



Thanks London ~ I'm sure one of us will update ya at the get-together today or maybe all of us!

Had a great time. nine tuggers got together. Never knew JoAnn was such a party animal! (What happens at Country Creek stays at Country Creek).

I think we all had a great time, I know I did. It was great meeting you all.
I will use your usernames so everyone will know who was there.
JLB, I wish we had been seated at a round table. I would have liked to have been able to talk with you more.
Conch Man, you mentioned coming to Port Charlote sometimes. Send me a PM and we'll see what we can do about getting together.
Sea Six, when we were talking in the waiting area, I knew you were a fun lovin' guy. If you ever have to move further north, (fat chance of that) check out South Gulf Cove. We have a group of fun lovin' people here and you will fit right in.
Rapmarks, I sat across from you, Ron, and talked with you more than Pat. I enjoyed our chats.
And especially, Joanne. For not knowing each other, we share a lot personal experiences, and I finally got a chance to meet you. You are what I wish i could have been.
And for all of you reading this, I am sorry for the mystery of the last lines, but if Joanne wishes to elaborate further, it is up to her.

OMG....Now my secret life is almost out!!! See what happens when I don't bring DH? :whoopie: Just in case 'anyone' mentions me dancing on the table, I will tell you right now I CAN'T even get on the table to dance, if I could dance, so THAT rumor is just that...a rumor.

We did have a great time and a good lunch. It was fun getting to put 'faces' to names and to learn "real" names instead of 'web' names. I won't divulge those secrets names either, although I thought I knew some names, only to find out they weren't right either. I thinks 'someone' was trying to confuse me (which wouldn't take much anymore). My list of "TUGgers I have met" is growing.

Pat and I had talked before the lunch to catch up on things. It had been too long since we had talked.
JLB didn't look anything like I thought he would (actually he looks better than I thought. ) and his wife Jenny is very nice, unfortunately we didn't get to talk much.
Conch Man, you ARE the man! I could see you living in Key West in a heartbeat...you would fit right in. Jan...YOU have my sympathy...but you do have a nice hubby. Sorry we didn't get to talk more too.
SeaSix...enjoyed meeting you too and hope we meet again.
Don and I did have a lot to talk about and I learned a lot from him...but, Don I talked to DH about your suggestion and flat out said NO!!! We'll keep in touch, maybe we can arrange for Gerry to meet with you sometime. Let us know the next time you are in Ft. Myers.
Pat...thanks for making all the arrangements!
now to go practice my dancing.

OH...I emailed the pictures to Conch Man, so he'll be posting them somewhere.....

Here's the Pic's!

Don said it all, can't add much other than me, Ron, Jim & his best friend are playing some golf at Country Creek tomorrow. It was a blast & meeting y'all was great, especially JoAnn as we are no longer strangers from 30 miles apart from two different States & the best dancer on the table! Not really, she is a fine lady & now a sweetheart ~

JLB had my ear for awhile then I got some conversation with everyone else, that was fun. We all ate, talk, joke a little & all hugged as we were leaving. Actually, we hugged before the meeting as we all met each other in the parking lot at Country Creek.

Thanks all for the gathering & what nice people we all are, try to keep in touch as time flies by ~ Here's some pics ~

Sounds like you all had a good time! Come on JLB tell us where you're staying!
I'm looking for next Nov and I still have the list of resorts that you e-mailed to me a couple of years ago. I've read reviews and added a few more myself and I'm looking every day.

Lynn

Here's the remaining pics that couldn't be posted in my previous post cause Tug only allows five pics per post & JoAnn, thanks for E-mailing the pic's, they are great!

Just another pic of the group ~




Another pic of Ron in the pic between me & JLB ~



Me & my luvly bride ~



This was a good Tug meeting from all around the Sunny Southwest Gulf Coast of Florida & Missouri. Hope others from Tug can do the samething in the near future.

Thanks for posting the pic's Conch Man....And thanks for all the kind words. I may put you in my will (if'n I don't spend it all first )

JLB2 had a great time, too. Nice to meet and talk.

Next year let's sit next to other people . . . How about New Year's Eve Day, for lunch.

Good job planning, Pat.
