The outing has been booked at Longaberger for October 23rd. We currently have an outing for 52 booked. I didn't want to guarantee a full-course outing (100+) after how few people voted in the last poll. If interest does spike we can grow the outing to a full-courser as long as no other groups book before then.

I'll have set pricing here soon, just waiting to hear back exactly how much it is going to cost per person. I am going to make it as cheap as possible. I will have a link on the site for registering and paying through paypal (you don't need paypal to pay, you can use a credit card) soon.

I have 2 groups interested. I know my parents will play and my boss would also like to get a team together but that's not a definite. I'll start spreading the word.

I'll grab a few of the other club golf team guys, depending on how much it costs, but I'm sure I can find 3 others to join me.

I think it's going to be in the $90-100 range.

Hey 4Cards...you gonna bring a bunch of ringers for this one too? LOL.

I doubt my brother and dad will be able to make the trip...but if you need someone for your foursome, I'll come up and play.

I'll be there, in the 1 guaranteed 4some Fab was talking about.

I still think the cost is going to deter a lot of people from playing, but that's just me.

True but its a sweet ass course and to have it to basically ourselves is worth it imo.
Anyone seen PolarBear lately sure he'd be down?

It might deter some but I think the course is a bigger draw than the Phoenix. In the end the Longaberger staff just seemed much more helpful and willing to work with me on things.

That could be because they are in the shitter?

Not sure if they even hire seasonal anymore or what the baskets are worth currently. They were too much to begin with anyways.

We're just going to have to promote the hell out of it. The 2 people I told today were immediately concerned about the weather that late in the Fall but were also still interested pending the final details/cost.

Oh, yeah, the Longaberger company is having a rough go at it. Not sure if that has any effect on the golf course, though.

Historically, weather is very mild in central Ohio that day. I think something like an average high of mid 60s and an average low of low 50s. Low precipitation as well.
