$50 on a wwekend with a cart is a really hard commodity in L.A. I would have to say, an impossibilty. I recommend Rustic Canyon in Moorpark. It's about 30 minutes from WH. Been on Golf Digest's list of best innexpensive public courses a few times.

Also try RiverRidge in Oxnard. Don't know the going rate these days but it might be near your target. Also close by there is Olivas Links, which I've heard pretty rave reviews about, although I haven't played it since the redesign.

$50 with a cart on the weekends.. maybe Simi Hills. Otherwise, municipal courses (Woodley, Encino, Balboa, etc.)

...Also close by there is Olivas Links, which I've heard pretty rave reviews about, although I haven't played it since the redesign.

I played Olivas a couple of weeks ago. Greens are nice and fast. Fairways nothing special. The mushroom farm nearby produces an almost unbearable odor. The whole course smelled like a big outhouse.

Knollwood in Reseda is pretty fun. lots of space, so you shouldn't lose too many balls.

Hansen Dam is pretty wide as well.

In my bag:
Driver: R9 TP Rombax Stiff
3 Wood: R9 TP 85g Stiff
3 hybrid: X
4-SW: X-20 Uniflex

    • Day 242 4-19 correct hip/chest movement in backswing. Less hip turn more chest turn. Did a bit of wrist arch stuff as well.
    • Day 42 (19 Apr 26) - Spent a bit of time working on maxing torso rotation…hit a few pitches to help reinforce. 
    • Thanks - that was a total surprise…

    • First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
