Just an update for everyone I gave the official Go Ahead just now to book the Champion Course for Saturday. They said that if a select few do not want to play that course they can book separate tee times but if we can all play that course it would make it easier. There is a $50 per person upcharge for the course but it seems as though no one has an issue with that correct? If you have any reservations about this course feel free to PM me. We want to do everything we can to make this a great event for everyone :smile:

Not good my friend, not good. It's a good thing we've got four months to master this, otherwise we would be having problems come September!! :act-up:

Guys you do NOT need to worry about the Friday and Monday rounds yet. Tee times for those rounds cannot be booked this far out.
GG, are you planning on playing it Saturday?

I think so, yes. I know it's going to be incredibly challenging but how many times can I say that I played a course that holds a PGA Tour, held a PGA Championship, and a Ryder Cup? I may shoot a 140 but it doesn't matter I think it will be worth it.
Just a reminder to everyone, once you book your room by sending back the CCA form please email me and let me know so I can officially have you down as attending. Thanks so much everyone!

That's my thinking too, might as well go ball's out on this trip, its a once in a lifetime. Just like going to the driving range at Turtle Bay - I can say I've been there and have hit balls there :laughing: So why not play the Championship Course? If I hack it...heck, I hack it, all about having fun and just doing something I may not get an opportunity to do again :good:

Just faxed in my CCA!!! Woo, now to find flights for a *cough* reasonable *cough* price. Even if I have to drive there, we are in.
Edit: Oh yeah and we are fine with paying extra to play the Championship course!!! My prediction for my score - 93

Ok here is some information for people flying in... esp pertaining to couples.
Shuttle: This is $30 per person, per direction. So for a couple it would be $30 each, each way for a total of $120. If you want to get a shuttle you can contact Metro cars - call the resort direct at 561-627-2000 and asking for transportation.
Parking: Self parking is free, Valet parking is an additional cost (of course).
With this in mind, my wife and I will be renting a car, and driving from the airport to the resort, we can rent a car for about $25-$30 a day. So it actually works out cheaper to rent a car than to take the shuttle. We are most likely flying into Ft. Lauderdale airport, and driving up from there. There are not many flights to West Palm beach for us, and it just seems easier that way.

Flights booked = Check
CC Authorization faxed in = Check
Child proof lock for mini bar purchased = Check
All I need to do now is pack! OH and learn to play golf. Can't wait to lose a sleeve of balls thru the Bear Trap but like everyone else, I don't care if I shoot to the moon.

It's really not that bad of a drive from Fort Lauderdale up to West Palm. I have done it many times. Not a bad option considering the shuttle price for a 10 mile commute.

Hmm...good point, maybe the BF and I will just rent a car as well
The shuttle price seems kind of pricey and I'm sure we can get a rental car for cheapy too :wink:

Great info! I never really thought about that end of it. Renting a car definitely could be the way to go!
