I am short, yet I still felt like the foot well area of the new BF seat was a bit narrow. I was able to alleviate it a bit by sliding further up the actual seat, but tall people do not have that option.

The club that we're getting married at (www.eagleridgegolf.com) just built a third nine. We could play 27 - :eek: I'd also take recommendations further north since you guys drove down last time.

Of course, if there's an NYS resident involved, we could also have a fairly easy time of getting times at Bethpage. I really want to play the other four courses at the State Park...the Black is something to do again, but I'd need to be about 80 pounds lighter given the walking and the horrific elevation changes. At least the Red, Blue, Green and Yellow courses allow carts. I wonder if the baglady twosome would come up for such an outing.

And there's a bottle in it for you no matter what. :D

PC coffee is swill. What are they brewing? Folgers? I gave up drinking the stuff the day they switched to a new coffee provider, both in the air and in the PCs. I'll leave the PC and find another place to get my coffee if I need it while at the airport.

Folgers has more flavor than that. I suspect it's something like New England Coffee's breakfast blend which I find to be near flavorless.

I think it might be this swill with CO actually importing Louisiana water to brew it.

We would possibly come. My +1 is a golfer.

Im pretty sure the black is out of the question since the USGA will shut it down well before the US open in June .

I just Googlemapped for the customary S's and G's, and Bethpage State Park is a 40-minute drive from LGA. Beats the hell out of the 3+ hours it took me from Down the Shore. I said it at the Do (hopefully Mr. BL adds the book to his reading list) and I'll say it again: John Feinstein wrote an amazing book about the 2002 Open and what it took to get Bethpage in the shape for it. Open: Inside the Ropes at Bethpage Black. It mentions the other courses only in passing, but it's a terrific story. If we pull Bethpage together, that's special to the point that it should be a Penalty Box Invitational and we should play at least 36. There's a not-half-bad Hilton about 7 minutes from the Black tee boxes too.

I'm drinking Panamanian coffee at the moment. I think I'm going to cry when it runs out.

Does anyone remember the Asian male graduate student from Michigan that lost his Company Store purchases at the Friday night party? The Marriott never located his bag and I am at a blank about his name/handle. If you know his name/handle please let me know. Thanks.

My size 14's (Are you about a size 14?) made the footwell unacceptably tight with shoes on, but I still think the comments people are making should be taken with a grain of salt because they were the smallest seats of any that CO have bought. Anyone of a height like mine or gbryan84, etc. should not have issues if on a 777 or a center-section 787 seat. Complaints about that seat are more justified in a 757 context.
