DGCR Meeting
- Thread starter discjon
- Start date
Come on and grow a set! Get your man-card back. She is the GIRLFRIEND!!! Not fiance, or wife. What are you going to do if you ever marry this women? Ask for permission to run to the store for a 6-pack. You're in or you're weak!!!
All that being said I am in if it doesn't interfere with work, charity bike rides (MS & Livestrong) or kids' swim meets, dance recitals, gymnastics, school trips, surgeries, tantrums, etc... BUT I want a nice Marriott property nearby with a bar and room service. Okay I could skip room service and the bar, but I want a comfortable bed. I could bring my own booze. I am on the wrong side of 40 now and would need my sleep to keep up with all the younger guys.
From the sounds of all this, regional gatherings are gaining momentum. And anyone that can or wants to travel could easily go to another region if he/she wanted to play courses in that area. You could go to all of them if you are able. Live large! If I am not stepping out of line here, I would suggest that Timg picks people he trusts from several regions of the country, and lets them start a thread/group or whatever he/she needs to get organziing in that region. Or people could volunteer to help and someone could be the project manager or leader of the group. If you leave it up to group think then nothing will get done, and about 8 guys will be up at Flip City this summer wondering where the hell everyone else is. Right now all there is, is a lot of ideas and enthusiasm resulting in nothing.

I like the idea of the regional events. There are 7 regions listed and if each region took a month during the playing season, alot of us could make it to several meet-ups. i would think the next step is someone in each area taking point and getting dates and final location set. Someone willing in each area can start a poll for possible courses in their respective region. If they get responses from players in their area, they should be able to get the course set. The same would go for the dates. The only catch would be settling on a month or weekend the didn't step on another regions event.
Thoughts?

I think everybody is waiting for more enthusiasm from the masses. Once this splits into regions, some will explode with enthusiasm, some will not. Cincy and Charlotte may go smooth as butter, other areas may simply fizzle and never happen.
If I had to list regional sites, I would spread them out a little more...and probably have fewer.
I would have listed:
Liecester, MA
Charlotte, NC
Cincinatti, OH
Dallas, TX
Denver, CO
Lake Tahoe (CA/NV)
I would definitely try to get to the Cincy gathering.

I am up for working on the TX meet up
If cincy is winning over flip, any northern michiganers- I'll offer car pool in that direction.
Location isn't a promblem for me, I have some vac time, it's more about affordability and figuring out a date far enough in advance

If the rest of the masses hear about a couple very cool events this year, then next year it will grow. 3 or 4 well attended evtns in 2010 would be a success. Maybe 2011 has 5 or 6 events.

Here is a poll for course options for a SW meet-up. I am not a DFW local, so if there are better choices, let me know.

The proposed Midwest location is a little too far south. I'm thinking Lemon Lake or Quad Cities would be closer to the midwestern base of DGCR members but maybe that should be checked.

I find this post pretty funny for some reason. It's like "Jeez, get a pair and do what you want. Oh wait, I can't do what I want either. Where were my balls again?" Like only married people have commitments or something.

I made up a spreadsheet with how many dgcr members and how many courses from each state. I thought it might help to decide where to have dgcr meetings.

:thmbup: Nice, thanks
Wile Cincy is closer to where I am currently at, I am originally from the Chicago area and would agree that Lemon Lake might work better for some people as it is fairly close to the largest city in the midwest which would make it easier for people to travel to. Plus you can always fly into southbend round trip on one of those no frills airlines for like $120 if you know in advance when you need the ticket
