Some would say that Bryn Mawr is a four-star restaurant with a very nice golf course, so I would be remiss if I didn't hawk the food for the evening.  Here's the post-golf schedule:  6:45 to 7:30 drinks and appetizers (at least 6 different choices).  7:30 dinner Caesar salad grilled veal chop and vegetables.  Apple cobbler dessert.

Terry -

Ron Forse and I both were doing all that we could in an attempt to get there for this gathering.  Unfortunately, neither of us can make it.  Our project at Davenport CC is completed and our time there does not coincide with the outing.  We are too busy in the East and Metropolitan NY area with projects just getting started.  Would have been a lot of fun to participate and talk about the project.

Enjoy the day.

Great.

Terry, please add my friend Ron Fox to the list...

Terry, please add my friend Ron Fox to the list...

That fills up quite nicely.  See my reply #26 for final details.

[Mike Treitler]

Sounds great.  Thanks so much Terry!

[Terry Lavin]

We have one open spot...

[Terry Lavin]

So, we're all set for Thursday, but still have one opening if anybody's available. 

Housekeeping: Feel free to get to the club around 1:30 to hit a couple balls and get familiarized.  Our host is Gary Mostow. The plan is to ride with carts and a forecaddie, who should be paid in cash.  Bring a check payable to Gary Mostow in the amount of $160 which covers golf, cart, drinks an dinner.  Given the quality of the golf and the dinner, the low price essentially means one of the two "services" is free!  Caddies are available if anybody wants to walk, but the club only allows walk/carry if no caddies were to be available.  Cocktails, appetizers at 6:30 with dinner to follow.

I should also apologize in advance for the weather.  It's going to be 68 degrees with no humidity and clouds for decoration only. 

Feel free to PM me with any questions.

Probably the nicest day of the year.  What a miss....

[Terry Lavin]

We had a great day. Great golf course presentation by Brian B. and his crew. The bunkering was uniformly praised and the greens were quite challenging. The course itself is a great amalgam of very stout two-shotters counterbalanced by a couple intriguing shorties. There are a couple short par 5's and a pair of real testers. As for the one shotters, the 237 yard tenth is one of the toughest in town. All in all, a fun challenge and pleasant mix of holes with well placed and great looking bunkers. 

Kudos to Jim Nagle for a job well done. He turned vanilla into mocha.  Many thanks to Gary Mostow for being such a generous host.

[Mike Treitler]

Thank you Terry and Gary and anyone else involved in setting this up.   I had a blast and the golf course is in fantastic shape.   I loved the layout and thought it had great variety forcing the golfer to truly utilize every club in the bag.    

Great event!

[Andrew Buck]

Glad you had a great day and disappointed that I couldn't make it.

I may be biased, but Brian is among the best in the business, as well as a great gentleman.

[JNagle]

Andrew -

I concur with your sentiments about Brian.  The conditions he and his staff provide for their members are exceptional.  Those guys are meticulous and it starts at the top and trickles down. 

I am a better person for having worked with Brian at Bryn Mawr.  He's that kind of individual.  Well, except for his love of the Sox.

[Mark Smolens]

Thanks again to his Honor for putting this together. My buddies and I had a great time on a really wonderful golf course. Green complexes are fabulous, and the conditions were impeccable. Can't wait to get back there for my round with Brian that I won on the GCSAA auction!!!

[Andrew Buck]

  Well, except for his love of the Sox.

Giving proof to the term "nobody's perfect".

  Well, except for his love of the Sox.

Giving proof to the term "nobody's perfect".

Some of us prefer the major league team in town, but we understand the attraction to the neighborhood the Cubs play in.

[Bill Faley]

I concur with the sentiments above. Thank you to Gary for hosting, Terry for arranging, and Dan for providing the history and photo tour of William Langford.

It was a great day for golf and I have to say the conditioning of Bryn Mawr was outstanding. Had the pleasure of playing with Brian (the superintendant) who he gave us great descriptions of how the recent changes affected the course and the proper way to some birdies. Plus he cheers for the proper baseball team as well!

Hope to get another look in the future at a gem of a course just outside of the Chicago city limits. Don't hesitate if you have the opportunity.

[Dan Moore]

A look down the stout 18th hole cited by Brian B. as the biggest improvement to the course.  Well done Gary and Brian and thanks to Terry for organizing!!

[Scott Wintersteen]

Terry and Gary,

Thank you very much for setting this up.  It was great to play the course and lets not forget about the awesome veal chop that was served aferwards.  Appreciate it. 

[Steve Green]

Belated thank you to Gary our host and Terry for pulling it all together.  The day was beautiful and the greens and bunkers make the course special.  And by the way dinner was as advertised.  Sorry that Dan pulled up lame.
