MLSman 22 Report post Posted February 19, 2007 Best LHS in the area in my opinion is Ashburn. The guy that runs the place (Tim Burt) is a good guy.They have a great selection...from top of the line to the cost conscious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allsmokenopancake 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2007 No, I live in Alexandria, but work in Greenbelt, so Laurel is only 10 minutes away on my lunch break, I play occasional pickup with a couple of people who play in laurel.If you are in the area, myself and a couple of friends organize a charity golf tournament for hockey fans, and also a pickup game, with any profits going to cancer research.http://www.putcanceronice.org is our site (although I am in the process of uploading a new version of the site tonight and having problems with some parts, so you may not get into all of it).But if you are interested, you can PM me about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
