LBG Homecoming Classic

Yoda,

If the scholarship idea is really golfgnomes, he better get out of his little garden hittin' all them practice balls and start postin' a little more.

If Bucket can find his way down to the ATL, maybe you and Ted can drag him from The Swamp over to LaLa Land and we can start him on his training program.

Bucket can't come to Roswell, too many churches and elementary schools nearby. Maybe we should all just meet in Tennessee, less restrictions.

LOL . . . Twice!

Me?

I'm leavin' this thing alone!

Yoda does parking lots . . . we could just get a big Winnebango and do it at DollyWood.

Only two things come from Roswell by the way . . .

I remember some of the Long Putts. We couldn't see past 20 feet. After you struck the Ball, everyone got silent so we could hear the ball drop into the cup.

I remember about 20 Budweisers and -a flight I want to forget!

Hey,

I will room with Bucket for a scholarship! I am not too proud for a hardship scholarship!

You are INSANE!

Interesting question, mrodock.

Back at'cha:

What would it take to get you there?

You are a long-term supporter with 377 posts. I'm thinking of an LBG 'scholarship' program whereby LBG will pay a portion of the event's cost based on the individual's post count. I know you are in school -- at least you were the last time we met in cyberspace -- so dollars are no doubt tight. So, your case may be extreme. Nevertheless, would such a program be a motivating factor?

And now the hook . . .



What if you really wanted to come, and you had already earned discounts at the 250, 300 and 350 post level. Would the 'hurdle' of 400 be an encouraging circumstance?

If so, I'm thinking we might get something going here . . . and get more than one or two people off the sidelines and into the game!

P.S. This is really golfgnome's idea. I'm just taking all the credit! Unless, of course, it doesn't work out, in which case it will be all his again.

I'm still in school and after looking at how long the graduate school program I'm looking at going into, I might be in school for another 9 years, haha! If it is affordable for me, I would be there in a heartbeat, no question! If it is a matter of me making more posts, I might start making them so fast the counter won't be able to keep up.

Let's put it this way, the golf experience of my life to date is playing at Colonial Country Club (Fort Worth) last year, this school would top that by a long shot.

The inherent problem for me is if the school is after Labor Day. Before Labor Day it might be doable, after it would be pretty tough. Having said that, I certainly wouldn't want the school to be planned around my schedule.

Thanks Lynn and Jeff for thinking of people like me, it means a helluva lot!

So far, based on my PM box, the pre- and post-Labor Day camps are about evenly divided. Resort costs rachet up after Labor Day, so a late summer event might get the nod.

It will still be hot as hades down there in September so you may as well do pre-Labor Day so the costs are lower.

Ted will stink as much in July or August as he will in September.

Was it the Swinger comment or the disorder comment that got me on your bad side?
