--Remember, we're off this weekend. I'm posting this info early--
We're headed down to Scepter, the private sister course of Renaissance in Sun City Center. While we've played this facility twice, we'll be on the original (and much better) Ibis/Osprey layout.
This address in Google is correct: 1226 Newpoint Loop, Sun City Center, FL 33573
A few quirks about the course:
- Give yourself plenty of time to get down there. You might get lost.
- Don't use the bathroom after Casey.
- The driving range is at the half-closed Falcon Watch course, which is a bit of a drive from the Scepter clubhouse. They want you to "check in first," so we run the risk of people missing their tee time due to grinding on the range. I look forward to enforcing our rules/penalties!
- While the course does have Blue Tees (tips), they're NOT on the scorecard (yet). It's a private retirement community after all. Gorecki is a long hitter at Scepter. HOWEVER, the course has been recently re-rated, and the pro sent me the distances (6,647). I'll put Melberg and Dave back there to start. Let me know if anyone else wants to play it.
- The rest of us are on the WHITE tees, which was about 6,000 last time we were there.
The earliest we could get out was 10:38am, which helps those of us who attend our season party to normalize with the more "lame" members of the Club. Price is $59ish after tax. See you down there in two weeks.
Billy and I will move back to play with Melberg

ReplyDeleteIt might be a smart move. This is a retirement course who didn’t even put the blue tees on the card. What if they aren’t even playing 6,600?!?
ReplyDeleteMight need a practice round next week to confirm.
I’m in
ReplyDeleteWe need to talk about this last member spot. What kind of flaming hoops do I need to jump through?
ReplyDeleteAccording to Article V.4, not many since you were previously a Member. Just need three of five Board members to approve you in the next off-season. No Club-wide vote needed. Troy re-joined in 2019 through this process.
ReplyDeletePut me on the ballot
ReplyDeleteYou got it.
ReplyDeleteBrendan and i will play blues. However, if that bathroom is in the same deplorable condition as last time i will resign from the event and cause a scene in the proshop.
ReplyDeleteor...if you kill a bird on the drive in you should just turn around and go home.
