Hi all- new to the forum and looking forward to wasting valuable work hours with you!

I used to play a lot of competetive golf and taught for almost 8 years, but now I'm just a weekend hack trying to get out more than once a month.
I have an unconditional love for the game and it's traditions and am really glad to have found this place.

Bill

Thanks Fat Slice-

I'm in the South Bay and work down the street from Shoreline, so that's the usual afternoon or early am 9 option. I'm all over the place too- Cinnebar, the Ranch, Eagle Ridge, Salinas Fairways, Fort Ord, etc... I have no loyalties!

[Fat Slice]

Thanks Fat Slice-

I have a friend in Hillsborough and another in SJ so I sometimes play Eagle Ridge, Cinnabar (nice course!), Crystal Springs, and Poplar Creek.

Another friend lives in Concord but works in Monterey... His contract pays for a room at Embassy Suites, so I will head down and crash at his place, eat the free breakfast and play Laguna Seca, Rancho Canada, Poppy Hills, PG Muni, etc., then hit up the free cocktail hour! We usually play a round on the way up, sometimes at San Juan Oaks. What his contract looked like it would expire his gf was happy and I was in tears. It's back on now, so w00t!

let me know when you guys wanna get a little "sandtrap.com" round going!! there's a couple other locals on the forum too..

[Fat Slice]

Great idea! I am a little harried now getting ready for my wedding/honeymoon in 2 weeks. I am sure when I return I'll be rarin' for golf.

Thanks Fat Slice-

If you come down this far, you should try Pacific Grove Muni. The back 9 is on the water and is lots of fun.

Hey Guys,

I'm currently up in Davis, but my job is going to have me down in Palo Alto,

Count me in for a Sandtrap round!

I used to play PG all the time... the poor man's PB. A good friend of mine used to be a caddy at Cypress and lived right near PG so we'd play there often. Then kinda moved over to Salinas Fairways after a while. Great bargain for only $30 on a weekend!

Let me know if anyone wants a Sandtrap outing.... I'm in!

[Damien45]

I am all for it! But I leave the area on the 22nd. I am headed to Phoenix for about a month then to Biloxi for about a year.

I love the PG Muni! I can't say I love the ice plant though....

Black Horse / Bayonet is great too. I totally love the military rate!!

[titushem]

im probably not good enough to play with you guys... but if anyone is interested to get together and play a round, count me in as well!!!

lovgoel - Do you still live in Davis? i graduated a few yrs ago but i still go up every other weekend or so. I am actually playing a round at wild horse this saturday. where do you normally play??

[NorCalGolfer]

trust me, at the rate my HC is skyrocketing, you'll do just fine. but anyways, I've never been much of a planner, so if someone else would like to get this started...I'm all for it!

Hey everyone.

Thought I would join in the NorCal chat. I'm originally from Davis, went to school down south, and am now back up in the South Bay.

Haven't gotten to explore the nearby courses too much since I just moved a few months ago, but I'm in love with Cinnabar. Also tried playing some of the cheaper options around San Jose, and played Shoreline and Eagle out in Gilroy.

Count me in for a Sand Trap round!

[WhatIsPaintball]

hey guys

count me in. i look forward to play with some fellow sand trappers and learn from you guys as well.

San Juan Oaks...man I played that course much sooner than i should have. That is one tough golf outing (at least for me) lol.
