I will walk both days and I live in California.


If anyone wants to play on Friday, please let me know as I am going to be heading down from the Canadian Border, where I will be on vacation.

Looks like a great event - count me in! Walking.


Happy to represent either my current home state of Colorado or my birthplace of Indiana.


Thanks for organizing!

In. Y'all know where I'm from. #East via Cincinnati.


I'll be walking. Definitely open to playing Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon.

No actual golf rounds were ruined or delayed, nor golf rules broken, in the taking of any photographs that may be displayed by the above forum user.

We should also consider extending the Mashie for a couple of days, to explore the Brauer Trail north of Duluth (Giants Ridge Quarry, Giants Ridge Legend, Wilderness at Fortune Bay, the brand-newly reworked Superior National). Could play two of them Monday, stay at one or the other place, play one or both of the others Tuesday.

Jeff Brauer -- Any chance you'd be in the North Country then?



Dan,


First, I doubt I will attend the Mashie, although I would love to. 
I haven't played
Northland
in many years, and the photos look like it is much improved since then.  I interviewed for their early attempt at "restoration" back in the 1990's, but didn't get that job.  Looks like they are doing much better. 

I doubt I will make a special trip, so I won't sign up for now.
However,
I will keep the date in mind and perhaps can fill in as a replacement for someone who has bailed if my travels take me to MN that week.


Superior National will be having an official grand re-opening this summer, and I will be there, but I doubt it will be held that late.  I will reserve a foursome and keep
Dan, Jeff and Rick , etc., posted on the opening date,
just in case any of the MN contingent here wants to attend in June. 

If anyone is interested in a pre or post Mashie round, SN would be the closest (by a smidge) of the Brauer trail, an hour up Bob Dylan's Highway 61, and I can reserve you a foursome up there. 

Giants Ridge is also about 1.5 hours north of Duluth in a different direction, up Highway 53, and Fortune Bay is another half hour beyond that.  While "only" number 30, 15 and 9 in the state (too low, IMHO on all three counts, but that is neither here nor there) I could help with a tee time or two in case anyone is interested.  Will try for architect's discount, but can't guarantee anything.

PS, sorry for formatting issues. Can't seem to fix them!

I would walk and be up for an extra Saturday AM round. While I live in Minnesota, I have spent the majority of my life in Michigan as it looks like the East may need some #s...

The more I think about this, the more I'm leaning towards playing up north, and saving more MSP golf for another trip.

Definitely want to hit up Quarry and Wilderness. Whether or not I do that in a 36 hole day is TBD. I've been known to have some pretty crazy itineraries during Mashie time. Still working out my travel details.

Count me in, Pat.


I've long wanted to see/play Northland. This is a great opportunity ... especially with Ron and Tyler there to talk about their work. 


Thanks,

Did you know World Woods has the best burger I've ever had in my entire life? I'm planning a trip back just for another one between rounds.

Pat, the way this is shaping up, instead of East-West, I would propose a "Minnesota vs. ROW" competition.

Are there enough guys West of the Mississippi to make a team?

Might have to divide the Minnesota team by east and west of Mississippi.


I am west.

I'm in if there is still room. Colorado, walking. Would enjoy other courses before or after the event.

I have updated the first post in the thread with a current attendee list. If I missed anyone, please let me know.

Right now we are up to a whopping 40 attendees. By my count that includes 20 folks from outside Minnesota, and 20 from Minnesota (depending on how you account for Hodgdon ;) ).

I would still encourage interested folks to contact me. Even if there is a wait list there always seem to be folks who drop out as the event grows closer.

As the Super Bowl descends on Minnesota this week, I can't help but think that it will be at best the 2nd greatest sporting event held here in 2018! Looking forward to it!

Pat,


Please add me to the waitlist. I will be coming in from Chicago. Course looks amazing. Hoping a spot opens up!

Never been to Minnesota. Ran speaks highly of the state and Northland. Add my name. North Carolina.

Not that I am endorsing ranking them . . .


But the Super Bowl will be at best 3rd -- after (in alphabetical order) the Midwest Mashie and the World Series.


Go, Twins!

I'll take a waitlist spot --usually lots of bar talk this time of year so if you're interested don't let the waitlist dissuade you.

Why not set the format as "Minnesota vs the Rest of the World?"
