Welcome to the MSGC message board! Feel free to use the board to find a partner for an upcoming outing or to just talk golf. Happy typing!

Don't forget to clear your schedule and sign up for the 2-person scramble on November 13!!!

Memo to the Vols Offensive Line, "Guys.....It's OK to block somebody".

Edited by author 10-22-2005 07:50 PM
Danny B...looks like the defense took your comment to heart,but the offense still couldn't get it done... ;-) Tough loss...

BTW, nice to meet you and the guys (Randy, Tommy and Ray if my memory serves me)...hope to play a round with you guys again soon!

Mark, Good memory on the names; you got them all correct.

Looking forward to the Scramble at Cordova. Hope the weather is nice. Anyone know if they have a driving range there?

I don't think they have a range... but I think they're in the process of constructing one (or planning one). I've put in a request for nice weather on the 13th.

Has anybody played North Creek (in MS). What did you think?

Danny B...definitely going to be a good time...they HAD a driving range, sort of...it was just a netted cage, but a big one. That could have been torn down since the last time I was there.

Jim A. - I've played North Creek, and it's quite tough...more of a links layout, and a good ways out west. If you're looking to play down here, Tunica National is a good one (and also tough.)

Some of you have been asking about the hickory shaft putter I play with. As promised, they're now available on the website. Enjoy...

Course Report....Played Bear Trace at Ross Creek yesterday. Greens were smooth and fast, excellent condition as was the rest of the course even this late in the year. Like most Nicklaus courses, WIDE fairways, but don't miss them or big trouble.

I played 18 with a group from Bartlett that had gone up Friday morning and played 18 Fri and 36 Sat. Maybe MSGC might want to consider some type of 2-3 day golf trip somewhere next summer/fall if enough interest? Just an idea.

Danny B...sounds good. I've played a Bear Trace course before, but barely remember it...I think it was in Jackson. Bear Trace and RTJ would be an excellent 2-3 day trip...I'd be in!! I do a couple of RTJ trips every year, and there's nothing like throwing your back out playing 48 holes in two days!! :-)

Mark, You are probably thinking of Bear Trace at Chickasaw, just a little south of Jackson. BT Ross Creek is near Clifton, just across the Tennessee River.

Hello everyone! I am excited about playing the scramble this Sunday @ Cordova Country Club. I was a member there for 2 years, so to answer some questions...there is not a range and probably never will be, so if you need to hit balls to warm up I suggest Putt-Putt on Summer or closest would be Stonebridge in Lakeland.

Brent, Thanks for the info. Since you have been a member there for 2 years and neither my partner nor I have ever even seen the course, do we get a mulligan on each hole? Sounds fair to me!!

Heheh...good suggestion, Danny B...if Brent's been playing that course for 2 years (BTW, Hey Brent! Welcome to the chat ;-), he's definitely gonna have it in for us. It's...well...a non-traditional layout. When I was there last, they were in the midst of reassigning some of the holes (I think #1 became #10, etc. etc.)...Brent, wanna shed some light before we see for ourselves tomorrow? :-)

Danny B, sure you can have as many as you want...just don't let Jim A. see you :-)

Mark S., it has been about 1 year since my last round there, but know this is a placement course...you will hit your driver very little. Not straight=trouble. Cya all tomorrow!

First of all... Thanks to everyone who played in the scramble this past Sunday!
Second... we are getting together a skins game for December 3rd in Jackson (thanks to Danny B. for the idea). Let me know who's interested either by posting on this board or sending me an email - jaa1973@yahoo.com.
Third... please be patient with the latest website updates - not all the graphics were linked properly (oops!). I should have it fixed by Friday.

The game is on for this Saturday (unless the weather folks are correct)! We are playing at Hidden Valley in Jackson at 8:30. Tee times are not necessary, so we can have as many that want to play. Let me know if you're interested.

I can't make it this time around...HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

You may have noticed that the website has been down frequently in the past week. Our hosting company has been experiencing some 'technical difficulties' (their words, not mine). I'm in the process of transfering the site to a new hosting company, which will be more reliable. I apologize for the inconvenience!

The 2006 schedule is almost finalized. I think everyone will be VERY pleased with the courses we'll be playing!!! Stay tuned for an announcement in early January.

Jim, Do you want me to see about adding Colonial to the courses for 2006? If so, let me know. The Tour is a great idea, I am really looking forward to it! Also I would like my company to possibly sponsor the Tour, contact me with details. Happy Hoidays!

Along the same lines as Brent, we could possibly add Memphis National to the course list, too...I'd be more than happy to spearhead that effort. Good idea, Brent!!! The tour does rock...thanks Jim!!! :-)

I'm in the process of setting up a fantasy golf league through the club. If this sounds interesting to you, let me know through this message board or send me an email. If there is enough positive response, I'll go forward with it. Thanks!

This is the most interesting golf website I have ever seen! Keep updating the pictures!

HI!
This website is great! I was happy to have found this website and have been thinking about joining a golf club, ever since I built a garden bridge for Teton Springs golfing community last summer. If you care to look at the bridge I built for them I am loacted at www.redwoodbridges.com
Thanks and I hope to be one of the newest sponsors.
Happy Golfing!

The golfing world is celebrating a new invention that promises to revolutionize the sport.

The new device that is receiving so much attention is called the "Bee Nut". It is a fastening attachment that allows a player to adjust the loft on their club to any angle thus saving the need to carry a bagful of clubs. As an example, a player can use the same club to putt with as they used to get out of the sand trap.

Golf clubs with this modification are selling quickly, and players everywhere are taking golfing picnics, so they can try their new Bee Nut Putter / Sand Wedge.

I am a golfer in Nashville. Could someone please tell me more about the RE/MAX tour. Such as: about how many events are held a year, is there a handicap limit? Other pertinent details...

Thanks

The RE/MAX Tour consists of 6 official events starting in May and ending in September. Players will earn points based on their placement at each event. Prizes for each tournament and season leaders will be given.

There is no handicap limit - all ability levels are welcome. There will be at least 2 flights at each event. Also, at least 2 of the events (possibly 3) will be 2-person team events (scramble). I'll be posting the schedule and registration information in the next couple of weeks.

In addition to the 6 'official' events, we will have informal outings about every couple weeks just so we can get out and play.

If there are others with questions, feel free to post them here or send me an email - jim@midsouthgolfclub.com

I like the idea of the Mid-South Golf Club and the RE/MAX Tour -- nice job in putting this together.

A question: Will we have to pay a lump sum in advance for all six of the "official" tourney events, or will we be able to pay only for the events that we play in? I might be away for a couple of months this summer, and the tour would make sense for me only if I am able to pay for each event individually. I am also curious what a round at Colonial might cost us. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Rich,
I'm glad you found us! Registration will be set up so you can register and pay for each event separately or at the same time - it's your choice. The Colonial details haven't been finalized yet, but as soon as I know the cost I'll let everyone know. I should have all the fees, times, format, and registration forms available for all the tournaments by the end of next week.

~Jim~

Jim

I am impressed with the way you have organized the RE/MAX Tour. I am looking forward to getting outand playing in these events.

Hey Jim,
I visited your booth during the exhibition this year and I am very impressed by the work you guys are doing. My question is probably too basic and foolish but here it i anyway - I am a 30 handicap, woud it be any good trying to compete on this Remax tour? I believe all u guys will have is like 2 flights ... Am I a match for it?
A reply will be appreciated. My second query is regarding the handicap calculation, these would be individually filled in right? How would you guys determine if I have put in the right handicap score for myself?
My third query is regarding the Remax tour events...How many round sof golf do we have for each of these tournaments ?
Thanx
SETH

Hi Seth - thanks for your questions! (1) You're not alone - others have asked the same question regarding higher handicaps. Each tournament will have as many flights as necessary to even the field - all ability levels will be accomodated! (2) Each player is responsible for providing an accurate handicap. The handicaps wil be verified prior to each tournament through the individuals handicap provider (GHIN, NGN, etc.). Now... everyone knows that the handicap system isn't perfect - it works largely on the honor system. We'll make adjustments throughout the season if individuals are consistently playing well above or below their handicap. (3) Each tournament consists of 1 round. If you have anymore questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

I can potentially provide a portable scoring system for the tournaments. I purchased an SBA Golf Distributorship and am selling sponsorships on permanant leaderboards in TN and MS. If there is interest, I believe I can manufacture what is needed through my Distributor. Visit my website at www.southerngolfconcepts.com to see the type leaderboards we are offering in the Memphis area.

This website is great! I was happy to have found this website and have been thinking about joining a golf club, ever since I built a garden bridge for Teton Springs golfing community last summer. If you care to look at the bridge I built for them I am located at www.redwoodGardenbridges.com
Thanks and I hope to be one of the newest sponsors.

Winning ReMax Traditions Tour PLAYER OF THE YEAR
..........PRICELESS

PH

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.

Well for example, the other day I went into town and went into a shop. I was only in there for about 5 minutes When I came out there was a cop writing out a parking ticket I went up to him and said, "Come on son, how about giving a senior a break?"

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a Nazi. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a piece of dog crap.

He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

Personally, I could care less. I came into town by bus but, I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired.

It's important at our age.

ParrotHead, I have to say...GO SENIORS!!! :-) If I were the cop, I'd have had some respect...I mean, come on...if we're going to grant amnesty to illegal aliens, can we not grant amnesty to our valued, long-time tax-paying citizens in the case of a parking violation?? Geez...when we meet on the course, I'll gladly cut you some slack on shots (if you need the slack...most seniors'll whoop my butt :-)!!

BTW...THIS IS NOT TO START A FLAME WAR ABOUT IMMIGRATION!!! Just a little Sunday humor ;-)

Mark S.

I’m finding out that we have a fairly large contingent of college sports fans among us. I’m aware of several Vols fans, Tiger fans, and at least one die-hard Alabama fan. Who else do you pull for??? We may even add a friendly competition between rival fans to our events this year.

Mark, Thanks for the good words. I will be looking for that "slack" the next time we meet (Stonebridge maybe?). I think Jim has set us up with some good courses this year so looking forward to getting out on the course soon as I am badly in need of some practice. Looks like the weather is finally beginning to turn for the better.

PH

ParrotHead, the slack is yours :-) Jim has definitely done a great job, and I'm looking forward to playing the events. As for practice, my schedule is very flexible...perhaps we could meet for a round before prize time?? I'm in Olive Branch, home of golf courses...but have clubs, will travel. Just let me know...I'm always up for a good whoopin' on the course!

Mark S.

I'm thinking about making the trip from Nashville to Memphis for the first tourney. Does anybody know if there will be a lot of players? Or, what's the typical turn-out for one of these Mid-South tourneys?

Hi Bob... I hope you'll come and play! Typical turnout is tough to measure since this will be the Club's first full season. Based on registrations received so far, I would guess we will have between 30 and 50 players at the first event (51 if you play... 55 if you bring some of your golfing buddies!)

After Stonebridge, while others celebrate the "Thrill of Victory" PH and partner will try to overcome the "Agony of Defeat" with Suds and Wings at the nearby Hooters. Any other Losers (or even winners) care to join us?

PH

I am "all in" for Hooter's after everyone beats up on me @ the golf course...

Never try to teach your pig to sing, you will only waste your time and annoy the pig.

Jim, Good job on the event at Stonebridge. Looking forward to the rest of the year.

anyone playing Southwind?

So far we have 12 playing Southwind (I spent the weekend scouting the course and planning my strategy - does anyone think they'll drain the ponds before we play? If not, I'll have to bring extra balls)

Anyone know the dates of the Memphis Publinx this year?

Memphis Publinks 28-30 July 2006, you can check the tournaments page at http://www.thelinksataudubon.com/tournaments.htm

This is Audubon's website. Hope this answers your question.

Those of us who will be playing Southwind (weather permitting), anyone know how we get in and where we'll park?? Thanks. -- Rich

I have played as a guest out there before tell the man at the gate you are playing golf and just park right in front of the clubhouse. If that doesnt work they will tell you where to park.

In response to Joey's question about the publinks the dates on the Publinks are wrong on Audubon's website. Here's the correct info. We look forward to seeing many of you there.

http://www.thelinksataudubon.com/2006publinksinfo.htm

Good luck to all playing at Cherokee Valley! Way to go Jim for setting up such fun tournamaents. I think you're just great and really handsome too. (Who let this crazy girl join the club?)

Wow, Jim...there IS a crazy girl on the chat board! :-) Now we just have to get her PLAYING next year!

Seriously, though, you HAVE been doing a fantastic job...keep it up, man, and as crazy woman said, good luck to all!

So I heard today was great fun. Hot but dry weather. Nice change from Big Creek. Congratulations to the winners! See you at Bear Trace!

Jim, Re Cherokee Valley.....Nice Weather, Classy Course, Good participation, and Well Run Event. I'll leave the "handsome" comments to bensmomma, HA.

Based on the last two posts, I think we need a message board that requires a password to access?

Good luck to those playing in the Publinks this week (Thursday, Friday, and hopefully Saturday)!!!

Looking forward to Saturday! Can't wait to see everyone. Keep fingers crossed for nice weather. Good luck to all!

Isn't Bear Trace beautiful! Nice choice Jim on the course. Of course i didn't actually play so I'll be interested to hear how it plays. Gosh what a big lake that was on the left of the first fairway. Did anyone else notice?

I'm new to the club and hope to see everyone on the course. I hope to ply with some of you as well.

Glad to have you!

Where is Forest Hill Golf Course - and why wouldn't the Mid-South Golf Club site have the address for one of its events?

Will, The easiest way to Forest Hill GC is to go up HWY 51 through Millington. At the red light of Wilkinsville RD take a left (This is at the corner of Wal-Mart/Blockbuster.) Stay on wilkinsville for several miles (should be less than 5). Take a left on Tate road. GC is 1/2 mile on the left.

Good luck at Forest Hill. Can it get any hotter? Be safe and have fun. Welcome to all newcomers.

HIGH FIVES to Jim and Randy for organizing what looks to be a fun and competitive event, the West Tennessee Cup. Now we just need bensmomma to "rally the troops" with one of her pre-match pep talks.

Hi everyone.. I'am new to the club.... I mostley play at Memphis city courses ... I look forward to playing in some of the club's events this spring & summer...anyone intrested in playing a casual round on almost any Wed. or Sunday the weather permits this winter e-mail me.

Hi, I just joined the MidSouth Golf Club today through NGN and look forward to seeing the schedule posted soon. Can't wait for the grass to turn green again, and getting back into some tournament play. email: golfplayer121@yahoo.com

Well, I figured I would join to meet some new people and hopefully gain a few playing partners, 22 hcp. I've been playing for about 3 years now and see a big improvment in my game, so maybe a few tournaments would be a good learning experience, I usually play alone or with whoever is available at the time.

Hello to all!!!I also recently joined and look forward to meeting you all!!!

Hey Joe M a couple co-workers and I play tuesday or wednesday morning when the weather permits...Email me at mangannon@yahoo.com

How many members does your club have?

Just joined - look forward to our first tourney.

What kind of prizes are awarded?

Where is the 'Southern Cup Golf Tour' - are they also a group here in the Memphis area? Do they also have a web sight?

Edited by author 01-30-2007 10:16 PM
The Southern Cup Tour is based in Jackson, TN. There was talk in the fall that they may not be active this year, but I think they're still deciding. Definately a good group of guys - we had a blast at the West TN Cup!

Welcome to all the new guys!!! I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!

OK, its Feb 1st. Wheres the schedule? ha

Wow, nice surprise. This morning it was the old website. I checked tonight and a whole new one. Nice job!

Edited by author 02-08-2007 08:45 AM
Many of you may not know but I am the Tournament Director for the MidSouth Golf Club in Jackson, MS. We currently have four tournaments scheduled with two more to be added. We would surely love for you guys in the Memphis Club area to help us out and play a couple of our events. They so far have been scheduled at some really wonderful courses here in Jackson. Caroline GC, Castlewoods GC, and one in Delphi LA called Black Bear GC and one in Grenada, MS, The Dogwoods. If you guys want more information contact me at: ric@midsouthgolfclub.com or call; 601 992 8710. Please come......and thanks Jim for having us.

I'll be playing out of the Jackson club. Also a couple of my friends will be joining. I'm looking forward to have a group to play with plus new courses to play at. Also, we're planning on playing Memphis events. Hope the Memphis members will come play some of our events so the clubs can grow. We're passing the word around down here.

Man, I am so sick of this cold weather and brown dead grass. I am SO ready to play in some tournaments and hit off green grass, and have weather above 45*.

Jay, I echo your sentiments exactly. Not as cold here in Jackson, MS as is there but I am tired of the brown grass, my game has flown south for the winter as well. Went out the other day and couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a bass fiddle. Now that's bad.

Just to keep everyone updated, the events here in the Jackson, MS area are on some really nice courses, but the one I have scheduled in Delhi, LA is a fabulous course and the one in Grenada, The Dogwoods is a DON'T MISS play. Haven't decided on the format yet but have been toying with the idea of a Ryder Cup style perhaps the Mississippi group vs the Memphis group. Anyone have an opinion on it. Anyway regardless of the format you have got to go play at The Dogwoods. Can't wait for the season to kickoff and look forward to meeting you guys.

Jay, Ditto here, and watching golf on TV does not help things. I'm ready for some of that "global warming" to kick in. Looks like Jim has some very good courses scheduled again this year. Some of the events are away from the immediate Memphis area, but not really that far away and definitely worth the travel. Paris Landing/Tennessean weekend is not to be missed. The Farms and Falcon Ridge are great tracts also, and I am looking forward to the Memphis area courses that will be "new to me". Now I just have to remember which end of the club to hold; it has been a LONG off-season.

Being new to the club, I had a question. In regards to the 'Ryder Cup' tournament, will we be paired up, or do I have to find a partner before hand? I guess I have the same question about the 2-man events the rest of the year too. Thanks.

Jay P. - welcome to the club. You can find a partner to sign up with or you can sign up as an individual and the Club will pair you with another single. Great way to meet new golfing friends.

Hello...I'm trying establish a Handicap to post scores at the NGA site and under "select course" It only shows Quail Golf Course...Does anybody know how I would post for another course...what am I doing wrong?

Marcus, Under the Quail Ridge name you should see "search course Directory" click that and enter course info/location. Hope that works!

Hi Club Members,
Did everyone read the new information on the front page of the club site? Jim is offering a free tournament entry if you can help find a financial sponsor for the club. In fact, if you can find a Platinum Sponsor ($2000) you can play free in all events this season! (There are several levels of support and several levels of rewards.) Many of you have business or family friends and other contacts and we are hoping that you will talk to some of them and help the club grow in this manner. More sponsors may mean bigger prize packages or lower entry fees for all. With your help, this club can really grow!
Check the web site's front page again for all the details!!!

Hey can anyone help me out? I can not remember my ID and password for the NGN sight and quite frankly I never remember setting one up. I already have a HCP. Card and will not use the sight for that, but would like to have access nonetheless. Thanks -

KLW - I can get you set up. Send me an email at staff@midsouthgolfclub.com and I'll send you your login info.

hey jim did you get my payment to rejoin for the 2007 season?

Sure did, Bob! Glad to have you back!

Jim A - is there a way to edit Home course info on the NGN page?

Go to player profile, select from down arrow menu of courses,
hit save

How is the Stonebridge Event shaping up?

I'm not sure how the well the event is coming together but I played there tuesday and the course is in good shape. The greens are a mixed grass but ran true. It's just nice to see green grass again!!!

I am going to sign up for Stonebridge within the next day when I get a chance, so you can add in one more. :0)

Stonebridge is looking good! Registrations are well ahead of last year's pace for the first event. This will be a fun tournament!

50% chance of sunshine Saturday - what if it rains? When is an event officially called off or postponed?

There are many quality rainsuits available on the market. ;0)

yes and you can also buy high quality boats and paddles and even a lovey orange life jacket and if it rains a little you will have to use a driver to get the ball to roll on the stonebridge greens.see yall on saturday

how do i register when the register board is coming soon?

what is the tee time for the Black Bear event? I need to know before I can register.

The tee time for the Black Bear Tourney is scheduled for 10:00 am. Anyone interested should go ahead and register or contact me and I will give you further information. Thanks for the interest and hope to have a good turnout.

Will you give me more info on The Riverbend Links, Tunica. I am registered. What is the tee time?

It is less than 48 hours until the tournament. When will we find out what time is registration and the tee times?

Details will be sent out Thursday evening - tee-times start at 8:30 am, check in will begin at 7:30.

Jim, what is the format for the Falcon Ridge Tourney?

could someone please tell me if the tournament at black bear is still on?

When do we update the Tour Standings?

I realise we're all busy. That being said, we need faster feedback and timely answers to our questions. I work till 3:30 am on Saturdays so I have to take a vacation day on Fridays for most tournaments. I'm sure many people have various other concerns re planning a weekend golf outing especially out of town, ie carpooling, spouses plans, babysitters etc. Not everybody works 8-5 M-F.
I have not yet registered for Falcon Ridge because my time off request has not been approved at this writing. However I'm sure it will be so thankfully registration is not closed yet. Thanks for letting me vent.

How many people are currently signed up for the tournament this weekend? Marcus, are you playing in it?

David, Yes I am registered and waiting to see the line-up... Tuned-up at the driving range early today and playing in a tournament at North Creek tomarrow...See you Saturday!!!

For everyone playing Falcon Ridge - tee-times will be emailed Thursday afternoon. See you all Saturday!

What a GREAT day at Falcon Ridge. Just ask anyone that played. The course was excellent, the greens were fabulous, and the weather could NOT have been better. Jim has scheduled some hidden gems around the West Tennessee area this year that should not be missed. Still to come are the Farms, Paris Landing and the Tennessean, in addition to some fine courses closer to Memphis. If you have never played these courses, you will not be disappointed. They are well worth the short travel to get there.

Marcus, when are you going to share some of the pictures you took at Falcon Ridge? dhelmic2@aol.com

David, I sent some pictures to your email...Some didn't come out to well...Sorry...I need to get a camera that works better outdoors...Have you signed up for big creek?

Can we post pictures on this website?How?

You can send pictures to me (staff@midsouthgolfclub.com) and I'll post them on the site.

Marcus, thought they were pretty good. No, I will not be able to make the next 3 tournaments as I will be out of town for 2 of them and the other one we have something going on at our church that Saturday morning.

What is the format for the Plantation Tournament and at Southwind?

The July 7th tournament (Plantation) will be individual stroke play. However, there is a chance that this will be moved from Plantation (I'll know in the next couple of days). If moved, the format will remain individual stroke play. The reason for the possible change is that our start time was moved to the afternoon (2:00).

The Southwind event is not a tournament, just a chance to play the course. It is actually a fundraiser for the Mid-South Junior Golf Associaltion - all proceeds go to them. We can, however, organize a game for our guys who are playing (skins, etc) - we'll wait to see how many we have and then determine if we want to add a game. I'll have registration details available this week.

The event at Southwind, is that cart path only? Last year I played there on a Monday, and they made it cart path only even though the course was totally dry. Was told that most events on Monday are cart path only so they can protect the course for their members.

When do we update the Tour Standings?

What happened to the July 28 event at Kirkwood National?

I was about to sign up for Kirkwood. Is this event still on?

What format is the two-day event at Paris Landing/Tennessean?

I talked to several folks and no one is having any luck at getting through to the 1st tee folks for the Southwind event. Does anyone have a suggestion.

No, I tried contacting them as well, and I never heard back from them. Still don't know if this is going to be a cart path only event.

The 1st tee group did call me back - only had 2:30 tee times available for Monday and that was Tuesday of this week. It may be full by now.

Did they tell you if this event is cart path only?

Don't quote me on this, but I seem to remember staying on the cart path last year at Southwind.
