If you ever make it to NYC

[redcatjazz]

hey fellow GM forum members:

If you find yourself in NYC and want to tee it up, please be in touch. I live in Brooklyn, NY and there are some nice courses to choose from.

Cheers,
Jason

Thanks for the offer.

Have you queued in the car at Bethpage Black?

Where abouts are the courses Jason. Been in NYC many times but only courses we ever saw were out side heading up state.
Been to Brooklyn a few times and it's just a building jungle, are there courses in amongst all that?

I'll remember this for when i'm next out there, I try and go out to PA once a year to watch the Eagles play, can't afford it this year sadly. Never take my sticks with me though, is it expensive to play and hire?

Who do you normally fly with? I think BA and Virgin still allow you take your clubs on for free on transatlantic flights.

Usually Continental as they are the cheapest. I could probably pay to take my clubs through Continental and the flight would still be cheaper than BA or Virgin. Always been really impressed with them as well, fairly decent nosh and DirectTV on board even in the cheap seats so loads of movies to watch on demand.

Same here, always fly Continental. Sadly Delta have taken over Conti so maybe see some service issues creeping in because Delta are crap.

I use Delta for Myrtle Beach as they provide the best connections. Only good thing about them is they will allow clubs to be checked in free as your one item of baggage. We've discovered that if we travel light, we can squeeze everything into 2 cabin sized wheely bags then check the 2 sets of clubs in for free

United and Continental merged buddy not Delta.

As for continental being the cheapest, I'm not so sure, 4 trips to NYC and only cheapest once.

Jeez that's even worse. Haven't booked using Conti for a while.

Obviously not, they've been with United ver a year now ;-)

Yeah, was Dec 2010 last time we went. Looking to go back next spring though and do 10 days in NYC and 4 days up state. Looking at preliminary pricing Continental come out on top by a fair bit.

Really? They couldn't get close to BA for me in 4 weeks

Depends where you fly from. Heathrow to Newark is 499 with Conti but about 600 with BA.

I've got friends up Westchester County - but he doesn't play golf and we plan to go out there in not too distant future - too far?

Edi to JFK via Heathrow for 2 for under a grand.

Thats pretty damn good. Is that change planes at LHR? Usually fly to Newark as its somwhow easier to get into Manhattan from there.
Will look into that though as that sounds good. Nice heads up bud.

Yip, shuttle down to heathrow and change to the 747 to fly out, the experience flying ba long haul is leaps and bounds better the continental but its a means to an end at the end of the day, the only advantage you get with continental is direct flights, JFK is just as easy to get in by train and is cheaper if taxi cab is your thing.

Always the cheapest for us, and by quite some distance as well. We fly into Newark though as it's easier to get away from for my "Mom", don't know what their prices are like to JFK
