I literally pass through the tiniest corner of the state......

Alright so here's what I'm currently pondering:
- 11 AM Saturday with @Canadan
- 10 AM Sunday with @KY Golfer
- ? Monday with @Browndog and @brotherdave
It's an easy 7 hours to get to Cincinatti, so I could leave at midnight Friday and probably even get a nap in on the way. The challenge is the short hop to Louisville, which is only a couple of hours but hey they have bourbon so it's not the worst place in the world to need to kill time. It's the 11 hours to get from there to browndog's stomping grounds, but sleep is over-rated right?
Or, breaky in Cincy with scoob, golf with dan, then play tourist Sunday while making my way down to browndog territory. Golf with them Monday and then cruise into Naples. Hit those I missed on the way back up?
Or, I could do 5 hours to Elwood and play Stonewall with golfinnut, then 6 to Louisville for a Sunday round. Or 5 to Stonewall and then take my time getting down to browndog. But then I miss out on golf with KY Golfer and Canadan.... Of course, I do have to drive back north in about 9 days time
Above all else, I feel worst about asking for options and then having to turn someone away. I'm kinda leaning toward option 2, since it might give me a chance to at least meet @KY Golfer and @LLIB somewhere for a drink without it being a huge time investment.

Buddy you do what you need to do. No hard feelings for sure If the logistics don't work out this trip, we will definitely get together again eventually. Maybe even the trip home.Alright so here's what I'm currently pondering:

One of the advantages to being single I guess. When life gives you lemons, you can either bit** about it or make lemonade.
I will admit, my plan is usually just to cram as much golf in as possible. It's a lot more difficult (but totally worthwhile) trying to co-ordinate with other people in different cities.

If you happen to come back up 75 from FL, let me know and we may be able to arrange something. I am in south GA about 45 minutes west of I-75. I was going to say I have next Monday off but see that you will be out in Savannah that day. I know I am off on Saturday, 10/15.
There’s a great spot near me called All Hail the Biscuit that’s really good. Maplewood Kitchen and Taste of Belgium are also good choices.@Scooby45 what are you thinking for breakfast? I've been to a WH before
Yes it is, I'll be thinking about you all just down the road in Savannah, here's hoping there is a next time.
Play well and stay well.

That certainly wasn't how it was meant; I'm honestly trying to make the driving as practical/efficient as possible.I am really enjoying the waffling for a better offer here hahahaha damn
If the offer still stands I'm there! Breakfast with @Scooby45 followed by 18 with @Canadan - could there be a better start to a road trip?

Something around 8:30 sound good? Pick a spot and I'm there.

It will be the following weekend, the 22nd. I'll definitely be in touch.

What day did this potentially land?
@brotherdave and I are at your disposal on Monday. Anytime you want to get here is okay with us. You tell us what works best.
Our course is Sapelo Hammock Golf Club and it is about 7 miles or so East of Highway 95 and 45 minutes South of Savannah.
If you want to stay overnight and drive to Naples on Tuesday we got you covered for food and lodging.

I am just messing with you. of course it still stands!
Just re-read all the various itineraries. If we do breakfast I'd have to be done by 8:30, maybe I'll try to catch you all after the round if you aren't trying to make haste to the next spot. If you wrap at 3 that's right around birthday party drop off which would give me a nice window to catch up I think.
It’s such a nice course. I’m glad you’ll get to play it @Junkyard couldn’t ask for a better host either!
Just a thought here - I did not realize that you @Junkyard were still planning to be in the area this deep into the month. I am hoping to get a tee time for @USAF Ret in Wis and me on 23 Oct (Charleston area - maybe around 0900 - give or take). I can shoot for a 3 or 4 some. Do you think that might work - where you'd be in the area still. I would love to have gone down to Savanah and played with @Browndog and @brotherdave but I still work (which sucks, plus my kid moves the week before and my wife is either leaving or coming back from travel - I don't recall right now). Anyway, let me know your thoughts - I would try to see if we could find a 4th in the area if it all panned out. @PapaJohick you up for being the 4th if this works out? Patriot's Point 23rd Oct? about 0900? Or anyone else - depending on Junkyard's response, I will move this to PMs - as I do not want to threadjack his vacation (beyond this post).
On your way back up if you pass through Charlotte area, maybe @e1iterate and I can get a round in with you. If near Greenville I might be able to make a trip down and finally play a round with @Davidhibler @PackersGirl and @MGoBlue along with you @Junkyard
That would be AWESOME!!! Let’s make it so! (I MIGHT have some guest passes too… need to check whether they have expired…
