« **on:** March 02, 2015, 01:46:14 PM »

Another year, another shoulder season trek to Kohler.

Like year's past, Kohler introduced its "April Special" rate in conjunction with the Chicago Golf Show. Here are the trips from the last two years:

Thanks again for setting this up Howard. For anyone on the fence, this is a great opportunity to play the Straits before the PGA Championship this year. And the River course is tremendously fun.

Howard,

Mark me down as in.

« **Reply #3 on:** March 02, 2015, 11:05:10 PM »

Mark me down, Howard. I just sent you a PM as well. Thanks!

« **Reply #4 on:** March 03, 2015, 03:35:08 PM »

Scott, Ryan -

Added you to the list. Look forward to seeing you in Wisconsin.

« **Reply #5 on:** March 04, 2015, 05:17:23 PM »

Mr. Riefs,

Mark me down as tentative as well. I should be able to get you a solid answer in a few days. This is too good of a deal to pass up

Howard,

I thought I responded. I am in. Paul Kardosh may be joining as he has for the last few years. Thanks.

It appears I might be one response too late to take one of the first 12 spots, but I'd be happy to start a waiting list.

I added you both. Paul's currently on the waiting list but I'm sure he'll move up given the number that are tentative.

Look forward to more of your miracle shots, like this one on #6 of the River Course.

I think my goal will actually be to not hit a shot into the abyss this year

« **Reply #18 on:** April 23, 2015, 06:12:13 PM »

I was gonna claim Josh as a partner, but if he's not gonna dump it in the abyss this year, then I'd rather not have him

Please let me know if anyone has interest in playing Lawsonia Friday afternoon. I intend to leave downtown Chicago around noon and head straight there.

Decent.

Otherwise known as the best weather I'll have played in yet this year. I'm going to continue knocking on wood.

« **Reply #23 on:** April 27, 2015, 04:55:44 PM »

Anybody hanging around and playing on Sunday? I can't play Saturday as I have a wedding in Appleton, but would like to join up with anyone that will still be there on Sunday...

Thanks,
Joe
