I started this group for Socal golfers to come and discuss anything from courses you have played.  Looking for a tee time - or a playing partner... To good practice facilities and retail shops to buy golf gear and play the game we love.

I'm from SoCal but most of time playing at Inland Empire, Eagle Glen, Morongo Club, Oak Valley to name a few.

Absolutely loved Oak Vally last time played there. Long course but enjoyable.

Heard they're getting ready for Q-school so rough is...well very rough!!!

For course around OC, I'd like to play at Black Gold or Talega, and RSJ if not toooo slowwww.....this is where my golf life started last Oct.

Oh, yeah of course Mile Square is also great course.

Notice you played at Meadowlark last week.....how was it? It was very slow last time I play.

Next target? River view....some told me to stay away though.......

I live in the Coachella Valley, so if anybody is going to be playing out here, let me know; if possible I'd be more than happy to join up with somebody. Lots of great courses around here... I played Desert Willow today (Mountain View course) and it was awesome.

I would be totally up for a TST outing over there.  Heck, it's only a 60-70 minute drive or so, and it seems like all I ever hear lately are people raving about Desert Willow.  Maybe we could put together a foursome (or two) and if we ask nice even get mvmac to join us???

The only thing is that Desert Willow can be pretty pricey... if you don't live in Palm Desert, I think the posted rate is $135 or so...

That being said, it'd be cool for a bunch of us to be able to get together and play a round. I know I'd be willing to make the drive out towards LA or wherever if that'd work out better for everybody.

Sorry, I haven't checked this group.  I'm looking to play this Sunday, 10/28 if anyone wants to join.  Most likely in the OC area - but I'd be willing to drive to the Inland Empire or LA area if we find a solid deal on Golfnow or Golfzing.

PM me if you guys are interested.

What is a good central location for us to meet on, possibly, Sunday early mornings? Seems like a few of us are in the Inland Empire, OC and I am in San Gabriel Valley. How about San Dimas or Diamond Bar? Sunday morning is $60 for San Dimas and $33 for Diamond Bar walking. Could not find it on Golfzing. Fullerton is another option?

I just looked and there isn't an opening remaining at 7AM for 18 holes on Sunday at RSJ.  Only a back 9 special at 7AM.  I'll catch you another time!

    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
