SW FL Get-together

[JoAnn]

If the meeting is for lunch on the 7th it would be fine for me, but not Gerry. His new dialysis schedule is set for 10:15 a.m. and he is there for about 4 - 4 1/2 hours. Just let me know.

 

[rapmarks]

I thought we were meeting for dinner?!?

the golf committee set the golf rate for guests at $45 beginning Jan 1.

shotgun only once a month on riday followed by lunch and men's leaqgue meeting.
Even members without a CC handicap have to play at a zero no matter what function til they establish a CC handicap.
Ron's handicap here is half of what it is up north, even considering the index and slope.

 

[JLB]

I'll be happy with open play, whenever. 3 rounds if we can. Whatever works best with the course schedule. You're in charge . . . match folks up the best you can.

Speaking of low handicap, I don't have enough rounds since I had to start putting it in the computer, so mine is figured on my low round this year. I'm an 11. So, I go out with the 9's and tens, and I shoot 96!

And it was too late in the season to use the 96 for handicap!

jperkins, another TUGger at the same course, says I should be a 10 or 11, but when I use all my scores from the last two years the handicap comes out much higher. I don't like being the A player because the others look to you to come through every time, and I can't do that.

 

[MILOIOWA]

This golf talk is interesting. I don't know anything about figuring a handicap-I just consider MYSELF as being the handicap since I rarely break 100. The beverages may have something to do with that though. Some day I will try playing without so much to drink to test that theory.

 

[JLB]

Some can't play without a beverage cart and some can't play with one. Some try to play with the beverage cart attendant.

The computer does all the handicap figuring anymore, with slopes and ratings and other gobblygook. You just enter your scores.

Until you have enough entered, it figures off your lowest score. Eventually it figures off of your ten lowest scores, so your really bad rounds get thrown out.

 

[rapmarks]

somehow most of my post got erased!

as far as days to play golf, mens league m, w, f, am, ladies t and th mornings. at least a couple hours of tee times for each maybe 3 or 4 hours.
Conch man what days are you working and is anyone else planning on golf? We can make teetimes 4 days in advance.

aIs there a Mrs Sea Six and Mrs Don joining for meal at Iguana Mia?

 

[Don]

I believe that's Becky's (Mrs. Don) first day back at work. She's a Specialist with the school system. Has a specific time for lunch been set.
My appt. in Dec. was for 10 am so I am assuming the rescheduled time for Jan 7 is also 10, I could probably be there by 11:30.

 

[rapmarks]

If we meet early afternoon for lunch, we beter not schedule golf that day. we could do Sunday and Tuesday and Thursday or Friday.

 

[JLB]

Yup.

Whenever you say, we will be there.

If we meet early afternoon for lunch, we beter not schedule golf that day. we could do Sunday and Tuesday and Thursday or Friday.

 

[The Conch Man]

I'm only working Sunday & Thursday right now, might not be working at all come the 1st of the year. I told them I didn't want to work any more but they talked me into working Sunday's only starting the 1st of the year. Will see what happens.

 

[rapmarks]

Here is a suggestion. ron can sign Jim, Gary, and conch man as his guests for monday golf, try to get a teetime after nine or nine thirty. it would cost you 5 for skins but all skins are scratch and you never know who gets lucky. then we all meet for lunch. Saves one trip from Ft Myers Beach.
golf is $45 in Jan.
He can sign up for league on New Year's Eve, and can cancel two days out. Otherwise, he needs to sign up 4 days out and fight for teetimes.

 

[JLB]

Sounds good. That would make lunch about 2:00 PM.

 

[rapmarks]

Okay, we will plan on 2:00 at Iguana Mia on Monday Jan 7.
I need Gary's last name.

Hope this is okay with everyone.

 

[Don]

Well, I'm out again. 2:00 doesn't work for me. By the time lunch and conversation is over, I wouldn't be getting back home till 6:30 - 7:00.
You all have fun playing golf and enjoy lunch.

 

[JLB]

Still planning; nothing is set in stone.

We don't have to golf on Monday; that was just an idea assuming early linner/dunch would be OK for all..

 

[MILOIOWA]

The wife and I talked and decided we would rather not plan anything for our stay. We will just do what we feel like when we feel like it. Still may take a day trip to Sanibel/Ft Myers area but not sure when. Maybe next time we get down there we can make the Dunch/Linner Flog outing.

Have fun!

 

[rapmarks]

We can change the golf date, or you guys coiuld get up earlier and play at an earlier tee time. Also, we could eat lunch here at country Creek, a nice reasonable menu which would cut down the drive time for everyone but Sea six.
Let's keep hearing from everyone so we can work out a good time for all.

 

[JoAnn]

2:00 would not work for me either. I'd be driving back to Lehigh during rush hour....no thanks! Lunch for us 'old people' is noonish. Sorry. But DO NOT change anything on my account.

 

[JLB]

Lunch at Country Creek would be a good idea, since it is convenient to anyone coming via I-75.

Earlier Tee time would be OK, too. 8:00 is league tee time here in the summer.

If we are a little late hitting our balls into the water on 17 and 18, y'all can start lunch and we'll be along shortly.

We're gettin' there, to a plan.

 

[rapmarks]

we will work this out, so keep tuned. we can pull it up earlier. JoAnn, don't forget you can take Ben Hill Griffin and Treeline and stay off that darn I75.I haven't seen you for a very long time.
I think if we make it at 12:30 or 1:00 at our restaurant or one right near, the guys can play golf around 9 and be done by 12:30 and everyone can get there.
We won't have this chance to get together again soon.

 

[The Conch Man]

I'm getting a headache from reading all this, well, not really. I rather meet everyone that I haven't met yet & play the Golf later in the week or the next day. It seems to me that lunch is ok with all of us on Monday. Us golfers can play the whole week after Monday plus I would like to meet JoAnn since we have lived in two different States, thirty miles from each other. Same goes for Don, Sea Six MIL, we are toooooooo close not to get this thing on the road.

 

[rapmarks]

You are right conch Man, so we will set the time to make everyone happy.

 

[JoAnn]

Pat, we always use Treeline and it's fine...it's Daniels extension from there to Lehigh that is a mess at certain times!
The days Gerry has dialysis are "my" turn to cook days, as he is usually extremely tired after his 3 1/2 hour treatment (plus 30 to 60 minutes longer to stop the bleeding...darn Plavix!!)

 

[rapmarks]

Okay, we will set the time at noon.
Do we all want to meet at Iguana Mia? I am not suire how busy they will be.

If anyone would prefer the restaurant at country Creek, we can do it. Lunch is between 6 and 8 dollars, and they will let us sit as long as we want, they don't need to turn over the tables.


Let me know, I will be out of town til Friday night.

 

[The Conch Man]

Finally!

Noon is ok by us as long as everyone wants to meet at that time & day for us to get together. Either place is ok as well, if everyone will meet there. If we meet at Country Creek Restaurant, it'll be a lot closer for Don, JoAnn, Jim & Gary but Sea Six can just take the next Exit (123), instead of Exit 116, to get there, if that's ok with him. Actually, Country Creek is closer off of I-75 than Iguana Mia is from I-75.

Mil, I hope you can play some golf with us later-on & can make the lunch meeting for all of us to get to see ya.
