For those interested, be on the lookout for a meetup opportunity at Mount Vernon CC this spring. Working with a couple members on that.

Excellent. I want to have a quick call to brief you and other volunteers. Are there any days and times that work better or worse for you?

Count me in! Researching golf history is already my hobby, so I know some good resources!

Neil Crafter is your man for a day to day recounting of MacKenzie's 3 months in Australia.
RM paid part of his fee by hiring him out to other clubs for whom he wrote reports - and was involved in the building of the great 15th at Kingston Heath while he was still in Melbourne
He worked with Kingston Heath,Victoria,Metropolitan, Royal Sydney,NSWGC, Royal Adelaide and Royal Queensland. The Australian too I think.

This sounds awesome Will. I’m probably in for the Atlanta one (pending dates).

Got out to Langston on this beautiful day. They’re still keeping it up nicely, best I’ve seen the place play in March ever. It played pretty easy to score, dormant rough played very straightforward, greens very soft, bunkers were outstanding. Pro shop is out of merch and Gatorade though. Wanted to share incase anyone was unsure if NLT was paying for maintenance over the past couple months, they definitely have. Hope they can continue. 🤞
I hit every club in my bag today, which is something I do regularly at Langston but hardly ever anywhere else.

I have been in KC a couple years now and here are the places I enjoy -
Sand Creek Station in Newton, KS
Shawnee CC, Topeka, KS- Ross course- was private and now public.
Falcon Lakes, Basehor, KS- just outside of KC.
Macdonald Golf Course, Wichita, KS- former home of the Wichita CC.
Sycamore Ridge, Spring Hill, KS - just outside KC.
Excelsior Springs GC, Excelsior Springs, MO- NE of KC.
Also quite a few sand green courses in the area if that is something you want to check out.
Too bad Swope won't be open.

Nashville!
I just posted this in Eggquarters but i wanted to alert you all directly. This spring, we are working with Intown Golf Club to bring together Fried Egg Golf Club members around the country. Intown offers upscale locations with simulators and great food & beverage options. You typically have to be an Intown member to access their facilities, but we are excited to off that access to you all simply for being FEGC members.
To kick off the year, we have set up four meetups in areas around the Midwest and East Coast for you to get some swings in, meet fellow FEGC members in your area, and help get the golf season kicked off in style. The first one will be Nashville on Thursday, March 19 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. One of your fellow FEGC members is helping us host. We'll have food, drinks, and two simulators reserved for up to 20 FEGC members. This meetup will be during the first round of the NCAA Tournament so it will be the perfect time to hit some shots and watch some golf.
The cost is $60/person.
If you are interested in joining, please respond here or shoot me an email! We will finalize payments in the coming weeks. We do need to have final totals for each event by 7 days out of each event so the Nashville deadline is coming up very soon.

Your name is showing up as blank, but I have to assume this is the man himself, Mr. Doak?

Beau,
I was just thinking about the previous thread this weekend and how I needed to go back to it. Definitely interested in helping out. Let me know!

I'm going to drop a new post in the forum in a few minutes but wanted to ping this group first. I'm going to put a little effort into this project from the Fried Egg side and would love for folks to help get this off the ground. I've built out a pretty cool way to display all of the information but now need to fill out the architects and their relationships so everything maps out properly. If folks are interested in contributing just reply to my post and then I'll throw a meeting on the calendar to discuss. Cheers! 🍻

Andy losing it on the Ricky 🤝 Arnie activation every year was giving me big time Squints (from The Sandlot) vibes.
Felt like that scene where Squints finally snaps and fakes drowning so he can kiss Wendy Peffercorn.
"I've been coming here every summer of my adult life, and every summer there she is oiling and lotioning, lotioning and oiling... smiling. I can't take this no more! Move!"

If you’d like to create Fried Egg cartoons, I would encourage that
