Interesting question, mrodock.

Back at'cha:

What would it take to get you there?

You are a long-term supporter with 377 posts. I'm thinking of an LBG 'scholarship' program whereby LBG will pay a portion of the event's cost based on the individual's post count. I know you are in school -- at least you were the last time we met in cyberspace -- so dollars are no doubt tight. So, your case may be extreme. Nevertheless, would such a program be a motivating factor?

And now the hook . . .



What if you really wanted to come, and you had already earned discounts at the 250, 300 and 350 post level. Would the 'hurdle' of 400 be an encouraging circumstance?

If so, I'm thinking we might get something going here . . . and get more than one or two people off the sidelines and into the game!

P.S. This is really golfgnome's idea. I'm just taking all the credit! Unless, of course, it doesn't work out, in which case it will be all his again.

I'm still in school and after looking at how long the graduate school program I'm looking at going into, I might be in school for another 9 years, haha! If it is affordable for me, I would be there in a heartbeat, no question! If it is a matter of me making more posts, I might start making them so fast the counter won't be able to keep up.

Let's put it this way, the golf experience of my life to date is playing at Colonial Country Club (Fort Worth) last year, this school would top that by a long shot.

The inherent problem for me is if the school is after Labor Day. Before Labor Day it might be doable, after it would be pretty tough. Having said that, I certainly wouldn't want the school to be planned around my schedule.

Thanks Lynn and Jeff for thinking of people like me, it means a helluva lot!
