X MARKS CON II The Events

[michael steinrok]

So to my way of thinking I'm going to need help. Planning events and such First events you would like too take part in. A Fashion Show Having met some of you guys this could be fun. The thing that srikes me the best is a kilted golf tournament. Can you see 30 or 40 half bombed kilties roaming the fairways and greens? I'm going to break this up into sections so that I can keep count. So if you would Events only Here!!

who you calling "half-bombed"...there are quite a number of professionals in this here rabble!!

oh..the event...

be sure to recruit a wee rabble o' mini-kilted "kilt inspectors" to ensure proper kilted dress...I'd be more than happy to provide shirts for said "kilt inspectors" should this take place..

It's highly doubtful I could make the trip, but I am certainly looking at ways to come up with the cash. If I can, I'd definitely be up for kilted golf. I shoot in the upper 80s to mid 90s from the senior tees on my home course. I can just see a bunch of kilties sweeping pleats everytime they get in and out of a golf cart.

You use a cart?
You must be playing 18
I tell people I score as well as Tiger , but then again I am only playing 9 best ball.

I used to walk as many as 36 holes in a day. Now with "Ole Arthur" (arthritus) biting my knees, I can manage only 18 with a cart, and way too much Ibuprophren.

OK Golfing will be one of the events! What else? Exhibtors? Scotch tasting? IDEAS guys!

Golf is a beautiful walk spoiled by the antics of a little white ball.

If this is the Las Vegas get-together we're discussing for next year, you MUST include a rabble visit to the Tilted Kilt pub.

I have been wondering what this is all about! Yes, if it IS a Las Vegas get-together next year, maybe, just maybe I could make that my 2007 overseas trip!

The prospect of spending a few days in brash, commercialised, Las Vegas is not really my cup of tea - nor have I ever knowingly set foot on a golf course (I lie! I have walked on the course at St.Andrews!) - but such an opportunity of meeting up with a phallanx of fellow X Markers on that side of the pond, might be too valuable to miss.

Sorry, I have obviously missed out on a lot here. Do we have dates confirmed?

[Riverkilt]

I'll be over in Las Vegas for a conference first week of August and will be happy to do any advance scouting...particularly the Tilted Kilt....hope they serve chow too.

And, I have the same interest in golf that Ham does. My only golfing experience has been maning the keg at the 9th hole on company outings back in my boozing days.
