For anyone playing in the event at Lawsonia Links (or anyone in general), I have a tee time booked at Erin Hills on Sunday 9/13 (the day after the event) at 7:42am with two spots available if anyone is interested.
There are the other add-ons available through TFE, but I need to be back on the road a bit sooner so booked at Erin Hills early.

I am new to the pod I’m from the Seattle area. Any Seattle peeps here? I am looking for a game soon once this atmospheric river dries up.

I am going to be driving down to Charlotte, NC for a work conference next week and was thinking of checking out Tot Hill Farm on the way, in all of its triumph and tragedy. This would be sometime in the afternoon of Tuesday, March 24.
Right now, it's just me, so I haven't reserved anything yet. Figured I'd throw this out there if anyone was interested in joining. Thanks!

Folks,
Big news in Fried Egg Golf Events world. We added Plainfield CC as an add-on opportunity to our event at Mountain Ridge CC this summer. The add-on at Plainfield includes lunch, 18 holes of golf, and any on-course F&B you'd like as well as a $50 gift card to the pro shop. It will be on Tuesday, August 11 in the afternoon.
All participants in this add-on must be in the Mountain Ridge event itself. Hell of a two-day journey if you ask me but I'm clearly biased.
Let me know if you have any questions! Link to join in will be below.

Hi all,
This is a bit of a niche question, but I'm relatively new to golf course architecture. My home course is currently being renovated (the architect is Jay Blasi) and I'm going to be around the club some while it happens. Have any of you been close to a project like this? Anything interesting to look for?

I think I got all my big letters correct up there. Two of us are going down to play Tobacco Rd and Tot Hill next week Thursday and Friday. The weather on Wednesday is NC cold but not too bad. Does anybody know how hard it is to score a last minute the time on one of the even numbers courses?

FEGC Homies,
We have a rather big Augusta National project in the works ahead of this year's event and we could use your help. We are looking for the most memorable shots — good or bad — from each individual hole at Augusta National. Some are obvious, but if you have submissions (especially pre-2000) we are all ears. Feel free to drop them here!

Hey all, we're super excited to release a video project we've been working on for over two years next Monday on YouTube. The video will dive into the history of Crooked Stick over the years, it's significance to Pete and Alice Dye and the most recent restoration work. We were able to talk with several people who worked directly for the Dyes as well as the Crooked Stick Historian who spent many years with the Dye's writing a book about them.
While the most recent restoration targeted more infrastructural upgrades and revival of some lost features, the origin story is quite fascinating and one that I don't think a lot of people know about. Crooked Stick is truly one-of-one in the Pete Dye portfolio as it was the brain child of Pete and Alice. They raised the money, bought the land and built their ideal golf course for themselves and their friends in and around Indianapolis.
I'm really excited to release this video but I'm also curious peoples thoughts who have played the course before? What were your impressions? For me it took a few visits to sort of "get it". It's more subdued that most of Dye's work but there's some incredible architecture out there.
Check out the Fried Egg Golf YouTube channel on Monday and enjoy the PLAYERS this weekend

Hey gang,
Getting something on the books for us Ohio folks as winter starts showing some signs of cracking.
We are going to get the band together and start tuning up at Shale Creek.
https://www.shalecreekgolfclub.com/
We’ll see what kind of interest we get but we’re hoping to have 3 foursomes.
They book times two weeks out so we’ll get our initial block of times on April 12th.
Shale Creek has a pretty strict no show policy so we need to have our number locked in by Saturday, April 18th.
If you need to cancel, please make sure to communicate that in advance of the April 18th deadline.
Super excited to get the ball rolling and a big thanks to Taylor Reed and Steve Schaefer for their collaboration on this first get together!

Going to head out to EP Friday morning and have a foursome at 820am. Looking to fill two spots if anyone is interested. Weather currently looks not as awesome as today, but going to brave it anyway!

FEGC Members,
A big goal of ours in 2026 is to offer up localized meetup opportunities for our membership that don't require travel to one of our events. I'm writing to you on this beautiful Monday with one of those opportunities.
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. Those meetups will be:
Nashville, TN - March 19 - 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Address: 2212 12th Ave S
Atlanta, GA - March 26 - 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Address: 3050 Peachtree Rd #150
Philadelphia, PA - April 2 - 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Address: 201 King of Prussia Rd
Columbus, OH - April 2 - 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Address: 6620 Mooney St
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. Hope you all can join in!

Picking up the thread that started here, I want to kick off a formal community lead project to map out the definitive golf architecture lineage tree.
You know how football nerds love tracing NFL head coaching trees? How everyone is a Bill Walsh guy or a Bill Parcells guy, and you can draw a line from one coach to half the league? Golf architecture has the same thing, maybe better, and we're going to build the coolest, most comprehensive version of it that exists. But I need your help.
I'll build out (I've actually already most built it out 😉) the front-end and back-end to display and manage the data. And in return I'm asking for help from the FEGC community to do the fun part: the research.
Here's what I need:
Architect bios — a sentence or two (or more if you're feeling it) on who each person was, what they're known for, and what made their work distinctive. Nothing encyclopedic, just enough to anchor readers in who the architect was.
Relationships — this is the core of the project. Things like:
If you're interested let me know and I'll throw a meeting on the books for later this week to chat about what I'd need to make this happen and how you can contribute.
