Just booked Bandon Dunes trip for July -- any suggested changes to this course sequence based on experience?

--First Day--

-7:35 AM landing at North Bend (30 mins from the resort) on a flight from Portland

-9:50 AM Bandon Trails, then 3:30 PM Bandon Preserve (the new par-3) [[or should I do Preserve then Trails]]

Forest King room at the Inn (Lodge NE/NW rooms were booked up)

--Second Day--

-7 AM Bandon Dunes (first tee time of the day), then 1:20 PM Pacific Dunes [[Bandon booked up that afternoon]]

--Third Day--

-7 AM Old Mac, then 12:40 PM Pacific Dunes again [[reservationist suggested Old Mac in AM for less wind than in PM]]

-8 PM flight from North Bend to San Fran, then redeye to east coast

Thanks in advance!

You aren't looking for advice, you're just bragging! That looks like a lot of fun on beautiful courses. Have a great time!

Why do they call golf "golf"?  Because all the other four letter words were taken.

Good play, playing Pacific Dunes twice. They are all awesome, but Pacific is awesome-er.

I just booked a trip for the end of September, first time ever going, and taking my Dad who hasn't been there either.  Right now we are playing Pacific at around 10 am on a Monday, Old Mac at about 8 on Tuesday and Pacific again that day at about 2.  Finally we play Bandon at about 8:30 on Wednesday.  I might be able to switch the second round at Pacific for Trails, but with everything I've heard about Pacific, I am leaning toward playing there twice.  Plus, my Dad is 71 and has a bad knee and I heard Trails was the toughest to walk.  Thoughts?

Also, anyone here have any luck getting a cart for someone with a bad knee, but not "officially" disabled?

Thanks

I've played with someone who had a cart but it was quite a few years ago.  I'm not sure what their policy is now but you rarely see anyone playing from a cart.   Your rounds sound good If he can walk Pacific he could do Trails they have a shuttle for the toughest climb there.

September should be good but you never know.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.

      They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.

      I wonder if the Saudis all kinda chuckle when they ask Greg how he feels about 72 holes vs 54…😃
