*sorry guys, since this is extremely loose, to keep teams at 3 or more people throughout Saturday, I had to just group you together.
I haven't totally hammered out the competition format. But unless I indicate otherwise or someone has a better idea, it will be a best ball format, but the kicker is, the best ball is among your entire team, which means you won't know who wins until the end of each round. That seems to work with the fact that several groups throughout the weekend will only have 3 people.

Bring it on!
No doubt there is a need to sell some more stuff. I don't have one of those grips "in stock". :act-up:
Manlai, have you called either of the Superstores? I'm planning on stopping at the Schaumburg store on Thursday. If they have one, I can pick it up.
YESSSSS!!! Sounds like a ton of fun is to be had! Thanks, Rock.
See? This is what happens when a couple of Huskers could be paired... The rest of the prairie states get "skeered" and don't team them up. Ah well... You're going down, this time, Icey!! Say... What'll it take for a couple of Runzas to make their way south with you? :desire:
You got any extra shafts laying around? If so post em haha. I might be interested in tinkering
As for Nebraska, do I need to track down Doug LeBoner for you guys?
If I pack a cooler I'll make sure they're in there!
Nice hoard... Was hoping a lefty would show up.
Don't have too many loose shafts; I'll post stuff available for me to bring for folks to try or maybe more... To anyone, let me know if something interests you.
Shafts:
Diamana Blueboard 83S (last played in a driver)
Aldila NV 85S (don't know what the shaft diameter is)
Purple Ice 85X driver shaft (don't know what the shaft diameter is)
PX 5.0 (original satins) 3-PW (.370)
Clubs:
Cobra Bio Cell Green driver stiff
Cally XHP 3 wood PX 6.5
Cleveland 588 H3 stiff
Bettinardi BB1 counter balance
Odyssey MXM Versa #9
Piretti Cottonwood II
Will have a couple of sets of irons with me: Apex w/ KBS Tour V (for sure), and deciding between 714 AP2 Recoil 110s or Cobra S3 Pro Steelfiber i110s. I'm such a 'Ho...
Let me check the back room. Maybe I bought something just to do it. (j/k)
Also, I do have some extra B330 in the garage; couple of "versions" old, but still decent golf balls. I'll bring them along, and if anyone wants a sleeve, have at it.

I'd love to swing the apex. I can pay for swings in runzas!
They need to have the show Golf Hoarders on the golf channel!
I would like to try some B330s. I have been wondering which version would fit me best got a 50/50 split on the bfit of b330 or b330s
I have seen some dudes that are crazy golf hoarders. My collection barely registers with some stuff I have seen.
Please do. I strongly prefer the feel of the B330S - the B330 feels much firmer, IMO. I played all of my B330S stash, and just didn't finish off the B330. Now, I'm playing nearly the exact opposite type of ball in the Cally SuperSoft. Go figure.
I have a dozen of the supersoft at home.. Lets just trade. Deal?
That's my partna!!!Deal!!
...No love for the Noodle long and soft??...

What is, "Adult films you don't want to star in"?
Man seeing all the different clubs that are going to be at this event makes me feel like a kid in a candy store. Hopefully I can bring a little game and not play like $hit as bulldog would say. Rock since we are staying in a cabin with a bunch of guys I really don't want to see the noodle long and soft. I work in healthcare I've had to see to much of that kind of stuff to deal with it on a trip like this.
A split fairway, I like having options!Just a few days away everyone! Today is hole 16. I think you'll notice in the picture below, it is a split fairway. This hole always plays long for me. Even from the middle tees, it seems like a lot longer than 405. Still, one of the first times I played this hole, I was playing with one of the assistant pros (who is no longer there). His advice off the tee "aim for the middle bunker, just swing as hard as you can." His theory was that you probably won't hit so perfectly straight as to end up in that bunker. If you head for the left side, you are teeing off uphill, but then you will be at the same height as the green on the approach. If you head to the right side of the fairway, you are teeing off a bit downhill, will have an uphill approach, and an annoying bunker protecting the front of the green. The green itself is one of the flatter greens on the course.
EDIT: If you guys might have noticed, the yardage indicates Par 4 but the 'hole description' on this official Preserve image indicates it's a par 5. It is a par 4. You may have also noticed some of the other yardage pics containing type-O's, some of them being significant. This is what happens when the government funds the creation of a 'resort' or super park, but awards various parts of it to the lowest bidder. I'm still pretty sure their website is broken, and that's been that way for more than 6 months now.

I hope that's not affecting course conditions.....
