Diane and I will be arriving the Thursday afternoon and leaving Monday morning. We can hardly wait!

  On edit, Ken from Let's Go Bowling has said he'll be supplying a few more prizes this year, also.  (The show with Ron was one of his best!)

I've been silent on this for a while .. still trying to make more time but it looks like my wife (Kay) and I will be there Friday (hopefully by 2 PM) and we will have to leave on Saturday after the BRT ..I'm disappointed about Saturday night but it looks pretty hard to do at this point! If things change I'll note it here!

Of course I'll be there again.  Hopefully I can talk the wife into showing up more.  I'll be playing golf as well.  Looks like there might be enough for two groups.  Mike, don't worry about the sand on Tanglewood's Championship course.  For me it was easier to count the shots where I wasn't in the sand.  I actually like the other course much better.  The course has less sand, plus it's set up to make you hit a wider variety of shots (instead of driver, sand wedge, sand wedge, sand wedge, sand wedge, putter )

There will still be a low entry no limit poker tournament at my house (less than 15 minutes from Creekside) Saturday night after dinner for those interested.  Billiards, darts, and home brew will also be available.

Graaille is attending solo, and since I live 3 minutes away from Creekside and have two kids under the age of 2 -- I'm pretty much going to come and go as I need (are required) to.

<edit> Will need a partner for scotch doubles on Fri nite. --Jason.

99% sure myself and my [deleted] lefty will be attending.  Probably arrive Thursday, leave Sunday.  Haven't thrown more than 6 games since Christmas so Ron is really going to have his work cut out for him.

My friends and I will be there Thursday evening, but too late to bowl, so we'll see you all on Friday.  BTW, congrats Glenn!

The time flies by faster than you think!!  I got dibs on Linda (if Glenn will share!! ) for the SD, too!!  Need to confirm, but Toma and I may actually get down there on Tuesday.  We're looking to play a round on the way down, twice on Wednesday and twice on Thursday -- I think that's were we left it.  Thursday is most likely going to be Tanglewood, unless more could play on Wednesday.  Like he said, we'll make firm plans as the date approaches.  Please let us know if you're interested....
