Hello from Atlanta, GA

Just wanted to say hi to everyone. My name is John, currently in Atlanta, GA but have strong ties to Chicago, IL. I hope to be part of some good discussions about golf without all the crap I've seen at other sites.

in Atlanta, I belong to a group called cannongate:
http://www.canongategolf.com/index.c...&openitem=2923

They currently have 17 courses.

In Chicago, I played all around, mostly around Schaumburg area but my favorite has to be Cantigny out in Wheaton but Shepard's Crook up in Zion is a very nice links course and cheap. I also like Bittersweet up in Gurnee. Cog Hill is nice but it's not all that. I would love to go play Whistling Straits next year.

Wow...I read the link on Canongate...I've never heard of anything like it.

How do you like it so far? Which is your home club?? How many of the courses have you played??

Sounds cool...

My home course is Chapel Hills. My avator is our 9th hole. This place can match Augusta for Azelea flowers in the spring. I like it so far as they keep expanding the club selection and I got in with no initiation fee. I have played about half of the clubs thus far. so far so good.

That's the best damn deal I have ever seen. Only $750 to join?? Freaking incredible...I don't know how they do it.

What a fantastic concept...

BTW I live only 150 miles west of you over in Birmingham...we have some superb courses around here but they are either pure public access or totally private with expensive initiation fees. The private clubs have reciprocity but only for charging golf/food/beverages when you are with a member as a guest. You cannot under any circumstances walk onto another private club and play without a member being present...and the initiation fees start at $25,000 and run all the way up to $75,000.

You've got the best deal I have ever seen...golf heaven. How do the courses compare to Cog Hill in Chicago for example? Any of them close in comparison to that??

Neat idea about Cannongate. Wish it would catch on in more places.

Welcome John.
About the the same story as you, came from the western burbs (schaumburg, addison, wheaton) and now in Athens, GA. You have to admit that January golf is far better in GA than IL.

Well, I can safely say that the layout is probably better but the course conditions can't match dubsdread@Cog Hill but most are pretty nice.
