The shared human experience: food.

Any other chefs here? Foodies? Food Network binge-watchers?

Golf season is starting to wind down here in New England, which means my attention is turning to my other "sicko behavior" passions: cooking, wine, and the joy of hearing what others are eating.

With Boston about to get its first-ever Michelin guide, the bar has been raised all over town, and the menu options have me inspired. So I've got a couple of questions for you:

1. What is something you've eaten recently that surprised you?
2. What is your favorite restaurant in your area?
3. What is your favorite way to eat eggs?

Lancaster County, PA

The pen is mightier than the sword.

Anyone else here from "Central" PA, Lehigh Valley, Baltimore, etc?

33, 2 kids, no interest in fighting. No time for that.

Will get this threads us middle TN folks can have some meet ups. Im based out of Cookeville.

27, no kids, only interested in fighting folks who “don’t listen to music”.

Based on my experience in other golf forums, Canada usually has its own region, so we’ll cast a wide net to start out! :)

I’m in Toronto, near the epicenter of some of our nation’s best golf (St. George’s, Lambton, Weston, Islington, etc.). While our season is unwinding, would love to see my fellow Canucks get active here over the winter months (misery loves company).

While Canada is sometimes overlooked from an architectural standpoint, we have some of the highest golf participation rates anywhere in the world! Would highly recommend a trip up here, especially at current FX rates.

I'm talking with Lukas Michel within the next few days about golf in the Melbourne Sandbelt and life in Melbourne. Got any questions for him? I'm planning to chat with him about not only golf but also the practicalities of taking a trip to Melbourne. If there's anything you'd like to know about putting together a Sandbelt/Melbourne golf trip, ask away!

I'm a member at River Place. If anyone is interested in joining me to assess any possible "Design Disasters", let me know.

Amarillo, TX here. 42, 2 kids, no interest in fighting. Big region, but surely between Midland/Odessa, Lubbock, and Amarillo, we can round up a foursome or 2 on occasion!?!

Hello FEGC! 31, married, no kids, only interested in fighting about bad golf takes. Moving back to the Chicago area after 13 years away (North Shore). Got into golf course architecture (unknowingly) from the course i grew up on, Spring Valley GC in Salem, WI (The best scruffy Langford & Moreau money can buy!)

Who else is in NC? I live in Raleigh, have been in the area my whole life. I just recently started working for a fairly new golf course construction company based in the Triad area. I’m also a weekend warrior player of the game.

Any FEGC members in St. Louis? Always looking for new people to play with!

Howdy Yolks!

I figured we could use a place to discuss things like:

• letters we receive from Bob Uecker
• how many people actually live in the Green Bay area
• why the Bears still suck
• and/or some golf stuff

We can only have so many sand scrapes, template holes and potato chip greens before it gets old. Don't get me wrong, I love Doak, C&C, Ross et al. as much as anyone, but I have yet to play a Fazio course that I didn't greatly enjoy.

The Fazio tree also produced Mike Strantz and Jackson Kahn, which is something to be thankful for.

I would love to see a few Fazio courses profiled here even though I'm sure they'll get 0 eggs.

Figured someone had to start a Minnesota one! I know quite a few people through my NLU days, but always looking to meet more people. Especially anyone in the Southwest corner.

Figured I'd start the Iowa one. I'm in Des Moines, 2 young kids, only interested in verbally fighting to better golf in the state.

I usually play sporadically outside of Des Moines at small town 9ers. They're usually pretty good and way cheaper and faster.

Curious what everyone's thoughts are on the changes?

I think the new tees will be hilarious during a tournament, where players will just be walking backwards constantly to hit tee shots.

Now the 16th is a welcome change and one that I would like to see happen in more places where the native has crept in and reduced fairway widths. That tee shot on 16 will be fascinating in tournaments as pushing it up the right is really a tall task.
