Franzen - your fancy vocabulary is leaving me in the dust. Like the ticket you are displaying with a line for Patron?
Patron is what my undocumented immigrant farmworker/Dreamers called me. I don't think that's what you intend. Member????? You are way to educated for me. I barely got out of school.

[OH Osthaus]

yeah- i was just kidding with him

to me- bespoke meant custom made - as in a Purdey or a set of tweads

but always willing to learn -

I had an guy who worked for me that had majored in English - he gave a presentation once and i said to him afterward "you talk good"

he replied - you mean i speak well

i said no-- you talk good

You boys can thank Mr. Suponski for the fancy verbiage. Those beautiful tickets are all his work.
BTW .... here’s the special gift that the more you use it the more you like it.

Are there golf courses nearby for her?
What is the gift? Am I gonna love it?

Yes George, there are courses within 1 1/2 hours of Hopkins and you are close enough to Delaware so they might have one or two courses. The problem with Hopkins is it's in the middle of nowhere as far as hotels, dining, shopping, etc. Nothing like the venue at Pintail Point which was ideally located.

[Keavin Nelson]

Wondering if there will be room block set up at any preferred hotels?, but maybe I am too early for that???

[MarketHunter]

I was actually planning on going this year because of the waterfowl gun display. But now, looking at the dates, I'll be in Alaska. Ah well...

This event features the raffle gun drawing, silent auction, special awards, great food and beverages and the opportunity to meet old friends and make some new ones. We have a very nice gift for each attendee. A display featuring Waterfowl Guns is theme this year. Tickets will be available at the Southern or you can order directy from Dave Suponski. Cost: $65 if purchased by July 22nd. $75 after July 22nd. This event is the PGCA’s way of saying Thank You to the members.

WHO DO WE MAKE THE CHECK OUT TO? and the answer is PGCA.

The old Pintail Point golf course is still open as far as I know. Pintail Point and Easton are in Talbot County and there are plenty of rooms in Easton. The commute to Hopkins is not out of the question. Googling "Talbot County golf Maryland" or "Queen Anne's county golf Maryland" should get you a bunch of choices.
