This is so cool, thanks for organizing David! I will definitely submit something

davidajaeger.bsky.social•88 days ago

Awesome!

gabrielziegler.bsky.social•88 days ago

@leistenecon.bsky.social did I tag you for this before?

k-sundstroem.bsky.social•87 days ago

Wow, I wish that I had the time necessary to submit something. Great idea to combine a conference with golf!

davidajaeger.bsky.social•87 days ago

An extended abstract would suffice!

k-sundstroem.bsky.social•87 days ago

Then I will look into the possibility of submitting one! Thank you for the information.

Registration fee is £600 for 2 rounds, 3 dinners, and 2 lunches. Get in touch if you want more info. Limited to 16 participants (including me).

What’s if I don’t golf?

joelwwood.bsky.social•42 days ago

You can start and finish at the 19th hole drinking scotch

jmorenocruz.bsky.social•42 days ago

I would 100% do it! But I am seriously asking because there could be aficionados more deserving of the opportunity.

davidajaeger.bsky.social•42 days ago

Send in a paper!

jmorenocruz.bsky.social•42 days ago

Ok!

davidajaeger.bsky.social•42 days ago

Oops, misunderstood. Gotta play golf to submit.

jmleecon.bsky.social•42 days ago

Aficionados of Scotch or golf?

jmorenocruz.bsky.social•42 days ago

Golf!

I dunno, if it's a micro conference it seems like mini-golf experience should apply

brothtran.bsky.social•42 days ago

The site says, "Participants should possess a golf handicap or provide evidence of prior golfing experience to ensure a reasonable pace of play."

jmorenocruz.bsky.social•42 days ago

Ahh! You see, I just need to read the instructions. That makes sense, if you want to play. But I think my question is if I don’t want to play at all. Just walk along or drink scotch while they play.

davidajaeger.bsky.social•42 days ago

Nope, sorry. Gotta play.

This is awesome. I really want to submit a paper. Not sure how I’ll pay for it though!

davidajaeger.bsky.social•88 days ago

It is admittedly expensive on the face of it, but it is truly a bargain. 2 rounds on two of the most beautiful links courses in the world, 2 fantastic restaurant dinners, and a barbecue with this view:

smithtravisa.bsky.social•88 days ago

Oh, it is a bargain! I will try to find a way

mkasper.bsky.social•42 days ago

What a terrific idea! I can’t make it this year but hope there will be another chance in 2026.
