Just curious if any of you guys are golfers and would be up for a game sometime. I usually just go to Meadowbrook or Lake Arlington because it's cheap and the holes are not too bad. Post up if interested and it's all for fun because I suck at it. :beer:

I'd head up there with you...I need to go to the range a few times and see if I still cut like mad to the right :beer:

bluesvt

Whenever you want to go to the range let me know and I'll head up there too. I need all the practice I can get. :beer:

Count me in, give me a couple days' notice, and I can join ya wherever.

If'n you don't mind driving a bit, and like a course with alot of challenge, THe Old Brickyard is a beautiful course, and damned hard. :D Another one, that's more centrally located, is the one just west of DFW Airport, it's nice, but I don't remember it's prices or if it's public.

I'm in.

A couple days notice would help for me as well.

I play in Ft. Worth a good amount. If we were going to play 18, i would have to play on a weekend. I can play 9 anytime after 2 during the week.

sorry im at work and my comp at home is all kinds of messed up but im still wanting to do this and we have enough people. lets make a date and go, it has to be a weekend thing for me too since i work till 5 or later. :beer:

Tex Arcana

02-24-2006, 03:22 PM

Okay, I can play most weekends; the only days I can't play are March 11, March 18 and March 19. :tu:

bluesvt

03-01-2006, 12:41 PM

Lets make it the 25th or 26th. Is this good for the ones that want to go? We are building a barn every weekend right now 2000 sq ft so I have to do that and can take a break on those days. If it's not then post up. :beer:

I dunno on the course. I have played Lake Arlington, Meadowbrook, and Iron Horse and they are all good to me since I am not. Which one sounds best?

Sixpipes

03-05-2006, 11:06 PM

I'd play on a Saturday, but Sundays are out. :cool:

Tex Arcana

03-05-2006, 11:46 PM

Either of those three sounds good; what's Iron Horse like, kinda cool name, does it live up to it?

Sixpipes

03-06-2006, 08:18 AM

I've played Iron Horse before. A lot of trees and a lot of water the way I remember it. Very nice course and reasonably priced. :cool:

I wouldn't mind hacking away at the ol' white ball for a while...problem is I'd probably spend most of my time in the trees and water. I haven't pulled the clubs out in years, and for good reason...I am very consistent...consistent at suckin at golf. :evil Finesse is not my thing:hammer:

I'm no better, I just enjoy the occasional decent shot, and the fresh air and scenery. :tu:

Iron Horse sounds great, pick a time on Saturday the 25th (???), not too early, and we'll do it. Everyone else on board?

Looks like there is room to me. We need to pick a course though. really does not matter to me and suggestions would be great. :beer:

I have played little golf in Texas, but courses I have played on typically won't let you on when you have more than 4 in a group. There are 5 of us who have responded.

Tex Arcana

03-09-2006, 04:14 PM

I thought Iron Horse was the course, and the 25th was the day. Was I wrong?

I can probably bring another guy so we could have two groups of three and room for anyone else that decides to play at the last minute. Maybe a little best-ball game between the groups? Usually, courses will hold groups to foursomes on weekends. :cool:

There you go again Dennis. Bringing another ringer into a Talon get together. I guess the TFC wasn't enough for you. Now it's going to happen at the TI. You fellers may want to make them split up....;) .

Sounds great to me. Iron Horse is is fine I didnt know if that was the one though but awesome what time now? Early right?

Tex Arcana

03-10-2006, 01:18 PM

I say 10-11am tee time.

Lyfisin

03-20-2006, 04:21 PM

I made tee times just now for 10:38 and 10:46 at Iron Horse on the 25th.

If you can not attend, please let me know. If we get down to just 4 (or less) I want to call and cancel one of the tee times.

Cost is $49.00 ea and includes the cart.

Kyle? Tom? Dennis? John? Ringer?

We still have room for two if anyone else wants to come.

You the man Brook! :beer: I was getting on to ask who was still going and find out about tee times but you beat me to it. I am definatley still in for a game. A golfing accident happened to me today while driving down Trinity Blvd. Well Texas Star goes across Trinity and while driving I was watching these two older men at the hill and as soon as I look away I hear a loud thud. I was curious as to what I had hit and then a damn golfball comes flying up and over the truck (doing about 55mph at this time). Some younger guys look up to see what was going on so I stopped and checked it out, thank God it was only a little scratch and blemish on the bumper. I need to buff the truck anyways but what are the odds of that kinda of crap happening. Just thought I would share since we were all about to go golf. :beer: -Kyle

Too many golf courses have parts of them close to where cars are. I hate it when my L even gets close to a golf course.

Tex Arcana

No wonder you showed up to the driving range with your Corolla...

...chicken. :tongue:

Lyfisin

03-21-2006, 07:50 AM

hmpf :tongue:

If I was coming from the direction you live, I might have brought the L, but the edge of the driving range is along the road I drive up on. I know how I hit 'em and it's not a stretch to imagine a golf ball heading toward the road.

I'm not chicken. I've seen what a golf ball can do to a car. Kinda looks like this. :hammer:

bluesvt

03-21-2006, 11:08 AM

So who is all going? Just us 3?

Lyfisin

03-21-2006, 11:48 AM

I'm still waiting on Tom and Dennis to respond. I'm sure they'll get here soon. Dennis was bringing a friend (Ronnie?) and I'm sure he'll have info on him as well.

We definately have room. Assuming everyone who previously posted is still coming, we only had 6. Still room for one more.

This Saturday won't work for me...got some painting to do in the baby's room. Plue I definitely need to get my ass to the driving range for some practice before stepping foot on a course...I haven't swung a golf club in probably 5 years...and the results were pretty bad back then :eek:

We'll miss ya. We're down to six so someone else needs to join up or bring a friend.

If no one else I can ask my brother in law. He is a cool guy and golfs some but still is not the good at it. :tu:

I'm looking for some advice here. I'm not knowledgable about how busy Texas golf courses are. It's supposed to be a little chilly tomorrow, but weekends are usually pretty busy.

We currently have 5 people saying they are coming and we are using up two tee times. I'd like to turn one of them back in in a couple of hours if there's only 5 of us, or at least drop one of them down to a twosome.

Any thoughts on this?

Brook - Just tell them we can give up one of our tee times if they will let us play with a fivesome. If not, I will play in a twosome, but the course will probably put a couple of other singles with the group. :cool:

bluesvt

03-24-2006, 12:55 PM

Hmmmm...... I asked a few people and no one can unless someone else on TALON wants to get in. Reminder to I suck so if your worried about that, don't. :tu:

Ohmsby

03-24-2006, 01:21 PM

I'm just up the road on Stagecoach in Crescent Oaks Beach and in Crossroads in Oakshores (under construction). I think I have ran yur truck with my old vette on 380 in the past. I'm assuming from the character your plates might read Go-rilla:twitch: Look forward to the golf in the A.M.

Lyfisin

03-24-2006, 01:54 PM

I called them about playing with 5. They said, unless the course was not busy, it probably wouldn't happen and looking at the book for tomorrow, it's unlikely. So I told them they could have two for the later tee time.

If we can't do 5, we can play with a 3 and 2 with a likelyhood of being joined by some other players.

Here's the link for the golf course.

Tex Arcana

03-24-2006, 10:06 PM

I already told Brook, but I gotta bail, I'm sorry to say. My wrists and hands are still hurting, and my doc said I need to let them heal, instead of trying to play.

I do apologize. Maybe next time. :tu:

Lyfisin

03-24-2006, 10:06 PM

Just heard from Tex and he's not going to be able to make it. We're down to 4, which is perfect.

See you there. :beer:

I was the worst with I believe a 118 or something like that. I think I got par on 1 hole and that was it. Nonetheless had a great time. :beer: I am in for another round so lets get a date so maybe others can join in that did not make it. :tu:

SO let's pull this together, I really want to hit the links. I'd suggest The Old Brickyard, but it really doesn't come into its own 'til after everything greens up.
