Message: [QUOTE="steve deberg, post: 5655087, member: 2856"] With the schedule released this week, I am now in the early planning phases of tricking seven of my friends into joining me for either the Cal game on September 12th or Louisville game on October 17th (never too early to start getting organized!). They have committed (not under duress) to a golf and casino weekend in Central New York from Friday to Monday on either of those weekends. Early preferences are for the October game. I did Turning Stone (stayed at the resort, played Kaluhyat & Shenandoah, came to the tailgate + dome) two years ago with some of this crew, and we had an absolute blast (which is how I have grown the crew from four to eight for next season). [B]My early thoughts for the trip are:[/B] [LIST] [*]Renting a big cottage (do you guys call these lake houses?) on Cayuga or one of the Finger Lakes for Friday - Monday [*]Playing a couple of the courses west of Syracuse [*]Taking del Lago Casino for all they’ve got [*]And of course attending the tailgate + game [/LIST] Trip started last time with me paying the Cuse tax and buying something orange for everyone at Destiny, followed by lunch at Dinosaur. Will probably do that again before settling in to our accommodations. [B]Since it’s the offseason, I thought I’d check here for some sage advice from the local population.[/B] [LIST] [*]Does this sound like a reasonable plan? [*]How does del Lago stack up to Turning Stone as a casino (we are table game people - not slots)? [*]Any advice on the best Finger Lakes for us to try to rent a place on? [*]What would be the 2-3 best courses to target playing west of Syracuse? [*]Would renting a place on Oneida and getting rich at Point Place be a good option? [LIST] [*]If so, what would be some courses out that way to play? [*]Atunyote (last of the big three at Turning Stone) might be an option regardless. [/LIST] [*]Any other thoughts or considerations I should be taking into account? [/LIST] Thanks in advance for anyone who chimes in. Looking forward to the trip already! [/QUOTE]
