If you don't mind dropping some $$, Trump National in Rancho Palos Verdes definitely has quality rentals and is a gorgeous course...and at least when I played on a similar itinerary, it wasn't bad at all getting back to the airport after my round (?going against traffic...i'm not from LA)

Going to be in Long Beach in a month.  Any recommendations on courses I should play under $100?  Also looking for a good clubfitter in the area.  Not opposed to driving a couple hours for either.  Thanks

I would say you could get away with any long beach courses for under 100. Most are like 70 tops. If you want to step it up a little I dont know you'd have to ask somebody else. I can barely stand to pay that much. But for long beach I really like skylinks or el dorado. If you wanna travel into OC more Mile square is just down the freeway and a nice course. still around 65.

Skylinks and El Dorado both seem to get recommended a lot, so I'll definitely try both of those out.  Will maybe check out Mile Square one day when my brother is at work.  What about Los Verdes if I play early enough to avoid the worst of the crowds?  Seems to get mixed reviews.

Take the 405 N to the 118 to Moorpark and play Rustic Canyon. $41.00 to walk and it's one of the best courses I've played. Not a beautiful course but some of the best green complexes ever and a ton of fun..

they have that special *every* monday! :)  (well, except holidays..)

both courses are in the best shape in over a year, highly recommended.  even the $105 rate on the weekends makes it worth it.  comparable courses in the OC are about $60 more.

      Hybrids

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.

      Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
