Are we going to have to put up with the cow pasture greens at Hunt Club? Serious question.

[Txxxxxxx]

HAHA! You're a funny man JV!

I'm in for the RV team for sure.

And what's the problem? You golf at a cow pasture don't you

Only when I visit the Hunt Club.

I will assume that the West Nine greens will be iffy at best when it opens next year. Have the others recovered yet or are they still trying to get them back?

[nokids]

Jv... that happened 2 years ago for a couple of months. Let it go!

West 9 will be monitored closely at the beginning to make sure it is ready for the traffic. 44,000 rounds per year I think I read. New greens are bigger to allow more pin placements. I'm very excited about the reno. Can't wait to see the South when it's done in 2015.

[jvincent]

I've been known to hold a grudge.

How many members do you have at Hunt Club?

How many members do you have at Hunt Club?

"Active members" is the number you want to find out. Hunt Club has a many members but some don't start their season till June/July, and don't play more than 20 times a year. I bumped into two guys who were touring the renovations and one of them said he hadn't played in two years! But he wanted to see what changes were being done. lol.

Do you know what the total numbers are? Just curious what the social to full playing member split is there.

[nokids]

There's roughly 500 full privilege members. 1400 total members (like social, curlers, out of country, etc.) That said, only 18 holes we available this year and I could always find a tee time.

That's good then. At least with 1400 members, your annual dues shouldn't go up at a high rate to recover the costs of this massive renovation.

I was just curious, because the bill for this multi-year project has to be MASSIVE.

Your PM box is full Billy, trying to send you one. Thanks.

Let me know if you are looking for players to represent Hunt Club.

On an aside, hunt must not be so bad. Good enough for a bunch of rideau view guys who have jumped ship.

Lastly, the changes look amazing. The member roster is available for members, but the number of active members I would venture account for about 75 percent of the total. I know a bunch of gentlemen who play fewer then five rounds a year. Some less.

Are there a bunch of RV members who went to Hunt Club?

[Johnyc]

I know of three.

[nokids]

I know of three.

My chances of making intersectional team just went from 0 to 0.

[Txxxxxxx]

My chances of making intersectional team just went from 0 to 0.

Maybe that's why they left RV and went to The Hunt.

My expectations are low as far as making the Intersectional team at RV. I had a blow up round on day two of qualifying, otherwise, would have been in the top 4-6 at EC. Lost in a playoff for a spot.

This season, I'd be lucky to be in the top 20!!!

[jvincent]

I know that to make the RV team realistically you need to be a 3 or better and if you are a 3 you better have a good weekend.

They actually open qualifying to 5's and lower but the last two years the team has always been made up of 1's and better. I'm sure the same is true at the Hunt.

[mmack067]

I might be interested for RV as long as it doesn't conflict with Golf Quebec events etc.

[Txxxxxxx]

I'm sure we can make it work. We can most likely work around the events.

I was down to a 3 this Summer, but I don't think I will be there next year. I'm not consistent enough to play at that index for an entire year.

[Adska]

I'd be in for RV.

I will keep updating the list of players interested in the first post.

I think a good format would be to have 4 players representing each club. That would give a total of 12 players. We'd book 3 foursomes, back to back to back like this:

1: Hunt-Hunt-Creek-View
2: Hunt-Creek-Creek-View
3: Hunt-Creek-View-View

Best ball format for all 18 holes.

In the first group, one player from the Hunt has a match vs Eagle Creek worth 1 point, as well as a match vs Rideauview worth 1 point. The second player from the Hunt also has a match vs EC and RV worth 1 point each. So Hunt Club can win a max of 4 points in this group while EC and RV can win 6 points max because they are playing two guys from the HC.

Group two, EC can win 4pts max, while HC and RV can win 6pts max. etc...

Any other format ideas welcome.

[Adska]

Who has expressed interest from Eagle yet though?

[Txxxxxxx]

Nobody yet. I could probably get a few guys though. If we don't end up with anyone from Eagle Creek, we can find another group of members. If that fails, Rideau View vs. Hunt Club is fine.

[Johnyc]

Sounds like fun! Looking forward to meeting some new friends and enjoying some competitive golf.

[Johnyc]

True. The quality and depth of players at these courses is outstanding. Hunt and Rideau View were missing some of their best players this year for the intersectional matches. Guys in the 3-5 handicap range like myself don't have a chance. I don't say that in a negative context, it simply speaks to the quality of the membership.

[Adska]

Txxxxxx when did you join the View?

[Txxxxxxx]

Txxxxxx when did you join the View?

I played Eagle Creek this year, but decided to switch over to Rideau View. So I've played three rounds now since I joined, and plan to play until I can. The greens at RV right now, look like the greens at EC at their best this Summer. HAHA!!

[hoolio]

Obviously a long way off, but I'd be game if timing worked out. Never played the Hunt, so I'd be happy with a home & home.
