I was wondering if anyone wanted to help me start (if it hasn't been already) a little golf league out here in Southern CA.

We have a few connections for courses where we can hold a few skins games or a weekly league type play if anyone is interested post here and we will get the ball rolling.

All we need are 4 golfers to get this thing started and go from there.

Good luck putting together a league.  I would do it - but I've already got a group of guys I play with on a regular basis (pretty much every Saturday and Sunday).

But I wanted to let you know... There is a league called the Southern California Industrial Swing Club (S.C.I.S.C).  It is a pretty cool league which is made up of ~ 8 teams.  The league plays a different course in Socal on the first Saturday of each and every month.  And the league travels to various courses.  The Each team has to field 8 players.  It is handicap based, and you will be seeded on your team 1 to 8 based on your handicap.  Each team faces off with another team, and the 1's play the 1's, 2's the 2's, etc. etc...   And each match is worth 10 points.  There is a skins game for NET and Gross.  The cool thing about it is that we have a Jamboree at the end of the year - which is a 2 day tournament.  This year we are having it April 28 and 29 in Temecula.  That is where big money trades hands on various bets and it's a lot of fun.

I may be able to get you into the league if you are interested.  Just send me a PM with your information...

Note, this is my first year, but the league has been going for over 50yrs!  I'm 34, and there is a kid as young as 18.... And older gentlemen as old as ~ 68 to 70.  We have scratch golfers all the way up to 20+ handicaps. So the skill levels vary... But being handicapped, all is good and fun.

Hey man

I would be interested in joining some form of league. As long as it consists of guys out there to golf and not a bunch of loud and arrogant people. Tend to be paired up with those types when i go out as a single, so would be cool if could play with a group of solid guys on a weekly basis.

Let me know if you got any other information.

Thanks

Craig

    • A bit of an update Set up - Less knee bed, more hip flex, weight feels more on the balls of my feet, and heels feel off the ground or lightly touching the ground. I have to check this from time to time. I like to squat too much and get my weight back. If I look at where my right pocket meets my shirt, that is over my ankles. It feels like I am on my toes.  Backswing - Feel like my left kneecap stays facing towards the ball, doesn't move. This controls my knees in the backswing. Which controls my hips. Lots of resistance feeling in the left leg, lots of stability here. The hands feel like they go in a bit, keeping them closer to my right hip, then hinge straight up. In reality the hands go straight towards the camera than in. I am trying to keep the hands from going out and rolling the club inside from A2 to A4. Mostly hinge from wrist and still feel like I keep my right elbow straighter. So, its hinge wrist, then left upper arm off chest. Elbow feels like it doesn't do much. The hinge and the club finish nearly the same time as my right arm retracts. So, it's not continuing on a ton here. I don't think I could overexaggerate enough how fast and the quantity of hinge I can do here.  Downswing - This is the drill I set up. I wanted to create a spatial target for my swing path. So, I added a 2nd foam ball. This one off my right foot, about 1-ft away from the shoe. I chose this position because if I stop the swing at the top then bring my right hands down to my pocket and turn from there, that ball would be in its path. I am trying to swing the club down and behind me to make that 2nd ball in the swing path to the actual ball. It won't, but it is a good visual. It really has helped me. I did it slow a few times, then I did one swing at like 70% and it looked pretty good.  Checkpoints A1 to A2 - Club travels inward a bit and hands travel inward and straight back. Club is outside the hands at A2.  A2 to A4 - Club hinges here and still stay on plane pretty well. At A3, the club is pointing inside the ball. Previously it was like 10+ FT outside the ball. Right elbow and right hands are in front of the chest more. A small nitpick here is, maybe the hip turn is a tad over what I want. Very very small nitpick here. Probably could have hinged a bit sooner and gotten the club up a bit quicker to finish the backswing. This was a slower swing, so timing is a bit off.  A4 to A6 - the club keeps tracking down such that the club pass just under my hands. The path misses the 2nd ball by a lot. I am trying to get the club down to hit it.  When the knees are square to the target line in the downswing. My hands are down at waist height and the clubhead is at shoulder height. while in recent swings with no shallowing, my hands are like up near my chest, the club head is like above my head. People talk about being stuck behind them, I was stuck in steepness.  At impact, I could be more open with the hips if I used my left leg better, more work to do on that.  My right elbow and hands are on my trail side. I don't have to stop turning to get my hands and clubs through to hit the ball.  Overall, pretty good. I just need to rep this and continue to work on getting that left leg straighter.  Warning Label - The LED lights have a strobe effect due to the slow-motion camera.

    • Awesome. We were originally going to play Quail Ridge but ended up moving some things around and are going to do the following when we go in May Day 1 Tobacco Road Day 2 Southern Pines and Pine Needles Day 3 Tot Hill Farm There are a couple good course vlog/matches on YouTube at Southern Pines, it looks awesome.
    • I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills.
