@LoveCycling 18 day 1, 18 day 2, 9 day 3. comes with a nice gift. Gift included w/ entry ranges, a leather driver headcover to a custom logo Scotty Cameron. Yes golf is cheaper and less elitist in UK. Maintenance practices, date of land acquisition, weather, golfer expectations help that.

@jroan17 Wow 54 holes. How's that played over? Our member guests are just 18h competitions. Golf seems to be more of a normal activity here and more affordable than there. Guest costs 30 euro. Yearly membership subs approx 1600. Cheaper rurally

Playing in my first member guest this summer. What do I get my host as a gift?

@privategolfacs @Timberwolves Miss St cowbells the entire game

What is the most annoying sound effect in sports and why is it the @Timberwolves howl?

@Davino_91 Typically member covers the entry correct?

@jroan17 Cover the total team buy-in and your share of the Calcutta bet if there is one. I always bring a half case of wine as well.

@DJportapotty It's not an April fools gift

@jroan17 Goodgood hat

@TheStroker83 @LinksGems I like it. He's not a die hard though so it would be lost on him. Something to bookmark for the future

@jroan17 A gift that I have returned to frequently—member guests, Father’s Day, birthdays—is the absolutely wonderful “The Golf Courses of Seth Raynor” book by the indomitable @LinksGems It is the perfect gift, and it is nice to deviate from the perfunctory bottle of booze. Cheers

@jroan17 A 74, 72, and 71 while playing off of a 12 index.

@LoveCycling It is. 54 holes of golf, food, and alcohol is not cheap so a gift is a nice way to reciprocate

@jroan17 Is this a big thing in America? We'd say thanks and just buy them a pint in Ireland.

@Son_of_Snob Great idea. Will look into that

@jroan17 Make some custom MyJoys

@ccaseny He said he wanted to cover the entry for both of us. I'm doing a nice btl of bourbon and any betting

@jroan17 Pay for half the entry

@returnofdrake He said he was covering the entry fee. I wash thinking a nice btl of bourbon and any side bets and the Calcutta if their is one

@jroan17 I just played in my first member guest as the member. Your partner will be happy to have you but cover your part of buy ins and bets Otherwise a small token like head cover or some shit and a letter would go a long way

@buckeyetj27 That's a gift for the both of us!

@jroan17 Lots of Birdies!

@HammerinHank98 No home club and he doesn't have a locker. I like the idea. I'm going to do a nice bottle of bourbon

@jroan17 Shirt of your home club Bottle of preferred liquor in the locker Cover all cash - pari-mutuel bets, tips, treat caddies well etc Thank-you note in the locker

@Koelk23 @DevonDembinski Those OCC greens were amazing

@jroan17 @DevonDembinski I would say they are pretty similar. Greens and conditions are probably better at Omaha CC but the holes at Wakonda are more unique

What is your Mount Rushmore of courses that you’ve played? I’ll go first: Omaha Country Club Davenport Country Club Superstition Mountain Golf & Country Club Des Moines Golf & Country Club

@GolfTravelerJoe Help me out here Joe! Nice bottle of bourbon (Blanton's Gold barrel pick) and cash for the Calcutta and any other side action is what I was thinking

@alexbair @DevonDembinski What's meh about it?

@jroan17 @DevonDembinski New Wakonda is meh

@DevonDembinski Need to play Wakonda now and compare

@jroan17 Very tough walk! But the course is so good
