Bethpage road trip

**LBH** · 03-11-2009 09:51 PM

Anyone for a Bethpage Black road trip in late April or mid-May timeframe?

Would be leaving Friday early AM, play a round on Friday PM if possible, one round on Saturday, a last one early Sunday AM and then drive back.

Let me know

Old news man! I asked the same question a while back.

Depending on the work schedule I would be interested. Tee times are reduced this year so it might be tougher to get on.

**LBH** · 03-11-2009 10:20 PM

Oops!!! Sorry about that. Based on that info, let's rethink this... Where else could we go? Malone? Tree Tops in Michigan (location of Big Break I)? PEI? Cape Breton?

**jvincent** · 03-11-2009 10:27 PM

No need to apologize. I'm still game for Bethpage if the schedule works out.

**LBH** · 03-11-2009 10:33 PM

Same here but I thought we could open this up to other options due to the restrictions on tee-times at Bethpage

BTW - Tree tops is 1000 kms away by crossing the border at Sault-Ste-Marie. About 10-11 hrs away. 4 18-hole champ courses. $326 US for 2 nights stay, 4 rounds of golf, 2 breakfasts. Mid-May

**jvincent** · 03-11-2009 10:40 PM

Malone is another option which is much closer.

**LBH** · 03-11-2009 10:43 PM

If you're willing to go to Bethpage, what's another 3 hours to Tree Tops?

But I would consider Malone for sure: approx $250 (CDN $ at par)
Golf at Par Packages include:

* 2 nights accommodations
* 2 days of unlimited golf with cart for first round
* Guaranteed tee times more than 7 days in advance
* Discount on extra day of golf (save up to $32)
* Extra rounds of golf on same day only cost $20 CDN per person for cart fee (save $23 CDN per person) Cart rental mandatory.
* Complimentary club storage for both days
* Complimentary bag tag
* Complimentary Short Game Clinic by PGA Professionals (advance appt. appreciated) ($15 value).
* Package prices are per person, per stay, double occupancy.
* 14 day cancellation period applies to all Golf Packages.
* Call motels toll-free to book your golf package.

I would do Malone

Back on track for Bethpage - Wife will be out of town on May 8-10th weekend. This is my best shot to do this...
jvincent - you game?
Big Johnny, Bouche - how about you?
anybody else?

Bouche · 04-05-2009 02:22 AM

could I bring the GF? She wants to do a roadtrip in may...very tempting....2 birds with one stone

**jvincent** · 04-05-2009 08:18 AM

That weekend is Mother's Day.

The odds of me bagging on that to go golfing or ZERO.

Crap... didn't realize that... it's the best weekend for me seeing my wife will be out of town. Maybe we can find another weekend AFTER the us open - they will reopen for public play on the 27th of June with restrictions on play lifted.

That being said, I'm still willing to go on the May8-10 weekend

**Big Johnny69** · 04-06-2009 11:56 AM

I may be able to pull this off. But it wouldn't be until late in the year. GF just got back from a week in FLA on Wed, and now she's planning another getaway to London, ENG in Sept to see a Michael Jackson concert. I'm definitely owed something after this.....

**jvincent** · 04-06-2009 12:21 PM

Just be glad you didn't get roped into going to see MJ.

Not a chance of getting roped in, I declared openly off the start that I had no intention of going to see MJ. As much as I'd like to head over to ENG and visit some of Europe, I'm not interested in seeing him perform.

Why wait until late in the year? Because of the wedding? Use your "good hubby" points now... She just got back from FL for 1 week, you can certainly take 2-3 days to go to Bethpage.

Thought of that. But with the wedding coming, we need all the cash we can muster. Hence, I bumped up my Stag Ticket thread.

But after the wedding when all is done I'll have a better idea of our financial situation and when I could possibly partake is this trip.

You may want to re-think the black for the weekend, I am pretty sure if you head down on a friday you won't get on it on Sat, maybe sunday but I think that will be iffy. I have played it 4 times truley awesome but you have to go through the week. I am going back the 25th hoping to get on it on the 27th, TIM

**LBH** · 06-25-2009 01:24 PM

Alright - the US Open is over, Bethpage Black reopens on June 27th for public play, it's time to start thinking about this again...

jvincent, Bouche, BigJohnny, others: who's interested in going?

For me, the following weekends are available:
- July 11-12
- July 25-26
- Aug 1-2-3
- Aug 8-9

**jvincent** · 06-25-2009 01:38 PM

I know someone who is planning on heading down next week. Let's see what he says about the crowds.

Anyway you slice it though, weekends are going to be tough to get on. You might actually be looking at getting there in the AM for the next day.

Bouche · 06-25-2009 11:34 PM

No Hope for me!! Baby coming anyday now!!

Have you heard back?

**jvincent** · 07-21-2009 01:39 PM

Turns out the course was closed the day they were planning to play so they ended up not going.
