We have not started planning our next outing yet - prolly should get going on that.

Should probably just skip winter and call it the Spring outing.

Should we plan on early May? Palm Springs?

Cool, I'm back in the mix of things! (Me and my son.) We haven't been to Industry Hills yet. @Big C mentioned SCGA discounts until the summer? As I recall there were lots of trees for ni

I'm in and I think I might be able to get Kaili to join if he's not too busy.

Going to try @hacker101 as well, if he's (or we're) not in a club competition?

Sounds good to me.  As usual, let's start by trying to lock down a date and then we can figure out courses and times after that.

If possible, I hope to avoid the weekend of May 2nd, since I just committed to something for the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.

How about April?

This might be better for me. I have too many things going on in May.

Another outing would be great. That said, my availability is pretty limited in April & May. I'll give you guys the dates that I am free as of now. I don't expect anyone to plan around my schedule, but to the extent that it might help "break a tie," here you go.

- Saturday April 11

- Saturday/Sunday April 25-26

- Saturday/Sunday May 2-3

- Saturday May 9

And other than that, my weekends are booked up until May 30th.

I know we owe Tristan a trip out to the desert, but Industry Hills would be a great venue for a SoCal outing and it might allow a few more guys from the greater Los Angeles area to participate.

Palm Desert sounds fantastic. I'm 100% behind that. In fact, I'd be fine having all four quarterly outings there... :-) But not April 11, despite two people who can make it. That's the Masters Saturday.

Well so what then?  Everybody knows the Masters doesn't start until Sunday afternoon. :-P

Good point. As it is, I'm probably not going to get to watch the short course contest this year, nor the first two rounds. If April 11 works for everyone else, I'm fine with it.

DVRing the Masters is dumb. You'll all miss out on some great thread discussions. Watch it Live. Very very few commercials during The Masters.

The Palm Springs area would be great. If we want to do it out this way, April would probably give us the cooler weather as it typically gets hot by the time May rolls around. That being said, we'll probably get better bang for our buck in May. On top of that, it hasn't exactly been cool for us out here (already a couple days at 90°) so it might be just as hot in April.

I agree with Colin that Industry Hills would be a great choice. I'm fine with driving as long as we have a good turn out, so I can look into that. IIRC, I think were looking at around $100 each at Industry on the weekend. Another option would be somewhere out in the IE so that it's pretty central to everybody. I know that we've played there before, but I'd be good with Goose Creek again.

I'd be up for either of these. Are you thinking of Babe or Ike?

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By boogielicious ·

      I agree with @pganapathy about removing some clubs. I would recommend removing the 2, 3, 4 and 5 irons for now. Play with Driver 3W 5W 3H 5H 6 iron 7 iron 8 iron 9 iron PW ( you don’t have listed) 52 56 Putter Th 60 wedge can be difficult for new players, but you could keep that If your 3H is adjustable, increased the loft to be more like a 4H. Play with these on course and see if you can get a feel of the actual yardages for each club and especially the gaps between them. It may take 10 or more rounds. A par 3 course is helpful for determining the gaps in the irons and some woods too. A device like a Shot Scope H4 can really help give you your actual yardage on course.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By pganapathy ·

      A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By pganapathy ·

      Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
