There is a lot of planning and preparation to make this event happen. There is also nonrefundable fees
to reserve th facility. Without knowing if the Southern would even happen, the Board decided to wait a year.

I'm 50/50 right now. Probably wouldnt get there until Wed evening. I could use a get away, and besides someone has to be there to control Brett Hoops.

Harold

Very true, and thank you for your concern. I am getting better, last time I only bought a book and a Parker vise. This year I may not even attempt to compete for the oyster record at the Sea Breeze.

Just let me carry your wallet, and we will avert any crisis.

Brett did you mean the Bay Breeze possibly or is there a Sea Breeze ? I have not been to either so you and Harold may need to drag me along one evening to expand my horizons.

Randy

Your likely correct, it's on N. Horner 1400 block. You'd be welcome anytime. Fried, but I hear if you cut it after with a bit of bourbon or Scotch it's healthier.

Please start a new thread for Hausmann's or participate with another thread. This thread is too busy with the Southern.

Just got my reservations for hotel and spoke with a couple venders.
Excitement in the air.

Room is booked as is a cart! Will be in Friday am. First year for me, and looking forward to it!

Keavin, what's the price on the cart?

Room booked, fingers crossed.

I too have booked a room. And the rest is based on the event happening.

Venders are booked I'm sure Deep River is needing this and besides all everyone has to do is one person per golf cart.That cleaned things up nice here in Florida on the golf course.

Are you saying that only one person is allowed on a cart?

When I ordered mine the lady said 2 person , 4 person or 2 person with a back . I took the 2 with a back area . If this thing comes off I’ll take a passenger if they want a ride !

The powers that be decided when opening things up that we could play golf but only one person per cart here in Florida.Been that way for months.Foursome with four carts.

Ludicrous is the only word that comes to mind.:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::bang head::banghead:

Crazier than who's President right now???
Not to worry we're going to Sanford thank God

Room booked. Probably getting there Thursday evening

If I arrive on Tuesday as planned how far is that Drakes place from Sanford ? Thinking if I get down there by noon I might go to Drakes and shoot a round .

I just googled the place seems they’re not open on Tuesday . So much for that idea ! But I did mapquest and it was saying 40-42 minutes from Sanford .

Its not that far I've shot there several times I think 30mins.Nice couple of tracks

We arrive late Tuesday afternoon. The pump gun and black powder are on Wednesday. We have rooms at the Bay Breeze too. Tell me about the oysters!! I like oysters!! Sent my registration in by fax today. Only 13 events plus Challenge events this year for me. 😁😁

The Bay Breeze is a hotel??

Bill, it’s not just a fancy drink with a tiny umbrella in it anymore.

Room and cart booked! Can’t wait.

I thought pump gun and black powder events were Thursday?

No sir, the pump, black powder and muzzle loader are Wednesday so they don’t interfere with the regular events.

Event Schedule
 

The schedule says April 22 which is Thursday.

I thought it was Wednesday! My bad. Those are the only events on the course Thursday. I’m hoping the sub-gauge and 10g Challenge events are Wednesday. I will find out.

Got in touch with Rick. He said the "dove field" will be set up for practice Wednesday. The small gauge challenge will be shot on Thursday and the main challenge will qualify all day Friday and Saturday morning. Not sure about the 10g?

Okay I’ve asked before about chokes for the course if my memory is correct I was told IC/M was plenty . But for the five stand challenge thing are they typically longer targets ?

Not all of them Craig but Rick generally has a couple with a little length. I would prefer my open tube to be a M on the challenge course based upon the past few years.

Choke is irrelevant. Put the muzzles at the right place and the bird will break, Grasshopper.

The Hammer Gun Challenge will be shot Sunday AM to early afternoon. Shoot to qualify and usually the top 5 or 10 scores from each team will be the official Challenge scores and will determine the Team and individual winners.

The Southern is still on and we even have some folks who weren’t coming changing their minds and coming! Tom Archer and I have been monitoring the situation closely.

I encourage those on the fence to make plans to come. It will be great to see some old friends after a long hiatus

All ahead full! Please make plans to come if you can. Several folks who were not coming have changed their minds.
