UPDATE: All spots have been filled.
I’m still working on a meetup/optional skins game at an 18 hole course but in the meantime I wanted to get a round at GGPGC on the books while the weather is nice.
I booked two tee times: 2:00 and 2:12 next Friday 2/13.
There will be a skins game for those that are interested. Since it’s a par 3 course we’ll do gross only. $20 buy in and please bring cash.

Apologies if this thread already exists. I think it would be fun to have a place to react to SGS banter.

Hoping to hear from others about their favorite events they’ve attended and any they’re looking forward to. Personally, I haven’t gotten to Michigan yet to play, so I am hoping to get to the Belvedere/Kingsley (king dere?) event this fall.

25, one kid, no interest in fighting.
Headed to Charleston soon and looking for some course recs for a round. Have played Wild Dunes before as featured on Design Disasters (can confirm there are some disasters there). Would like to stay in the Charleston area but will travel a little out if it comes recommended!

Hello! Very recent fried egg member attending my first event at Soule Park in April.
I'm an architecture student and greenskeeper at Wilshire CC in LA.
This summer I’m headed to Stockholm and Copenhagen for a wedding/vacation. Is there any courses suggestions I need to see while in the area? Not sure if I’ll have time to play but would at least like to walk a couple. Thanks!

The latest Designing Golf pod is up, and the topic is how to appreciate a golf course while you're playing it. This episode was partly inspired by a question from FEGC member Adrian Mazzarolo in this forum thread. Geoff Shackelford is the guest. I think it's a good one.
If you have any questions about or reactions to the episode, fire away.
Also, what do YOU do while you're playing golf to understand and appreciate architectural nuances?

Is anyone in the central Virginia area? Bonus points if you're in Richmond. I live on a golf course but got out there a very sad number of times last year. I am hoping to change that this year and would love to meet any FEGC members in the area.

I have been into TFE and SGS for a few years now and I rarely hear much about courses in my home state of Virginia. I also see there are no Virginia "Cartons" on this forum. It has plenty of courses I love, but I don't know if there are many good public options to plan a golf trip around. Is it simply the lack of good/interesting public golf that limits discussion about VA courses or maybe something else?

Hey NC Eggheads, a couple of FEGC members and I are working to set up an NC meet in the spring. If you're interested, would you please fill out this survey by the end of the day Friday 2/13? Thanks and hope to see you all after we thaw out!

Hey gang -
My dad, brother, and I are heading to Newport Beach for a long weekend in March. We are staying at Pelican Hill, so we will play both of the courses on property but still looking for some must-see or awesome value spots in the area. Monarch Beach is on our radar, but other than that, I am not super versed in the LA golf scene. Any suggestions?

I've been trying to listen to more music while working/driving/walking instead of having podcasts that I'm only half listening to but I find myself returning to old favorites. Trying my best to add new bands.
Any recommendations? I've been listening to a lot of The Teskey Brothers and St. Paul & The Broken Bones lately. They've been good finds.

It's been a busy few days for the LPGA. After Sunday's final round cancellation and the ensuing uproar, Craig Kessler sent a note to players yesterday apologizing for the mess. He also went on a mini apology tour offering more insight into the what led to the decision to shorten the event. We knew the honeymoon period for Kessler would end at some point, but boy did it come to a screeching halt.
Matthew and I will certainly be discussing the note to players and Craig's additional comments on the next episode of The Mixed Bag. I have some questions for the FEGC community here in the meantime...
It's hard to outdo Mollie in terms of miscommunication and unseriousness. Do you think Sunday was equal to the Solheim Cup debacle?
If you're a casual LPGA fan, did Sunday make you less likely to tune in and/or get invested in the league?
Do you put part of the blame for the situation on the players who were vocal about not wanting to play in the conditions?

Content idea. I was looking over the Links Top 100 U.S. Ranking and it's...on the right track of what I'm looking for. I know the Fried Egg doesn't like rankings, but I'm basically looking for a collection of public courses that are egg-worthy. Could be 50. Could be 150. But I think what we are are looking for when we ask - hey I'm in so-and-so city, where should I play? - is what are the quality, strategic, egg-worthy or egg-adjacent courses that rankings don't properly capture? Even if there was just a way to sort public courses that have earned an egg, that would be an awesome start to this idea...
I am also happy to read about any nominations Fried Egg members might have.

Taking a solo trip to LA the week of the Genesis and going to play for a few days before going to Riv. I’ve got Soule Park and Rustic Canyon on the schedule for a couple mornings. What other architecturally interesting courses should I check out?
Also any tips on what to watch at Riv?

LIV got OWGR points for the top 10 finishers in tournaments with a SoF that resembles a DP World or KFT event.
If Brian Rolapp is a true psychopath, he will offer a PGA Tour card to the top individual LIV player. He's in the business of making it up as he goes, let's see how far he's willing to go.
