Alright, so we just finished our 6th outing today, and as always, it was a great time. The turn out this time around was a bit weak compared to what we've been able to put together in the past, and for this one, I'd like to see a large group.

We were discussing possible locations for the Summer outing today when we finished up and seem to agree that San Diego would be a good spot as we haven't been down that way yet. One possible course that was mentioned was Encinitas Ranch.

Anyways, let's try to nail down a date and course and we'll get this thing rolling. I'm thinking the end of July, possible the 27th.

I need to redeem myself, July 27 works for me.  Don't really care where or when we play but I think Barrett mentioned Coronado which I think gets an absolute ton of play so it could be a 5+ hr round.

Count me in again. As I've not yet played in San Diego, I'll let other decide on which course to play.

As far as dates, are we talking July or August?

I'm going to be a late decision (not last minute or anything, but later than now) for the next one.  I'm signed up for two tournaments on back-to-back Sundays in July, so another day-long outing in that time frame will be tough to swing.

I will likely be there, especially if it's in July or August.

If I am available, you can count me in. I have a couple of trips planned for July and August, but I should have some "date certainty" within a few weeks.

One thing I can tell you is that July 27th is out for me. That is my wife's birthday!

How does August 9/10 sound? Any conflicts there?

That sounds fine at present, but that may change when my summer work trips are scheduled. I'm hoping to have a firm handle on my dates by the end of next week.

Encinitas Ranch is a good suggestion. They enforce pace of play there so the round shouldn't take more then 4 hours. Plus it's a nice course and close to the ocean so it won't be too hot.

Edit: I'll be attending this one.

Hey @hacker101 , are you and Justin up for this one?

I signed up Kaili for SCPGA, and will have him do a few tournaments. Other than those, we should have some weekends free for fun golf.

Yep we are up for it, weekends are all Justin will have, he does not take summers off, has to keep the 4.3 GPA.

Also thinking about heading down Sat and stay by the course, what ever one everyone decides?

Okay, we might just go down for the day. Leave early morning and come back that evening.

Cool, we have a foursome!

Im bummed I missed out on a lot of the events you guys have held! took a year off of golf (I know stupid me) so I could finish getting my degree.

That seems pretty smart to me!

Come to the next outing, look forward to meeting you, finally. It's been a little over a year and a half since we last corresponded about the first Winter outing.

    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
