I didn't have any luck with RSJ Sunday morning either. The time was perfect for me, too bad the time slot was full. Maybe we could set up something regular for early Sunday mornings in the future as well. More centralized might get us more takers next time. I have never played Diamond Bar before, but the rates look pretty reasonable at $33 walk 18 and $46 with a cart. Any other suggestions for a more central location? Maybe sometime we can make a trip to San Diego to visit Mike?

If you plan it we will join :-) I would like something more centralized, like Diamond Bar (which i have not played), because I need to get back before 2:00pm in Pasadena. If we compete it should be to our listed handicaps. No sandbagging, please. :-P

I cut my thumb bad (nerve and partial tendon) so i havent hit a ball in 3 weeks... but its healing up well so i am almost ready to start playing again.

Coyote Hills looked pretty nice, never played there.  I want to try that course out sometime...

Sorry to join late. I have been playing most sundays at my home course of navy. I have been inactive here lately and with my handicap. I was a 14 a few months ago but havent played quite as much. I would love to do a so cal outting somewhere decently priced. And I also play navy sundays at 1 (earliest twilight around) and usually just walk on. Already have a group planned for this weekend but any following weekends Id be more than happy to join or have someone come play navy with me. Its a tough fun course. Last weekend I was there there was an air show going on litterally right next to me on holes 16 17 and 18.

I dont want to be picky but if I may say so I am really not a fan of fullerton. If thats what everybody else decides thats fine I will go with it but we have so many good courses in so cal why go with a par 68 thats ehh.

Sunday 7am tee times are best for me too.  The only Sunday in December that I am not already booked, however, is the 16th (tournament at Talega the 2nd, and out of town the 9th and 23rd) so I may miss you guys next month.

But if this works out and we can turn it into a regular or semi-regular thing (maybe every two or three months) I will definitely make it for some of them.

Fullerton was just a suggestion. we could do mile square or even RSJ if anyone is interested. the more the better. I just need to know a couple days before so we can figure out the tourny setup. if 7 am is too early let me know that would just give us all the best opportunity to finish around 1230 or 1 and have time for our families if need be.

    • I disagree. I "share" the ball flight laws in this form: "the golf ball starts in the general direction of the clubface at impact and curves away from the path." That describes all you need to know: For a pull-slice, the ball starts left (face left of target) and the path is farther to the left. For a push-draw, the ball starts right (face right of target) and the path is farther to the right. For a push-slice, the ball starts right (face right of target) and the path is farther to the right. The only clarity is that, for example, Lee Trevino played a push-fade, he just lined up well to the left, so the words "push" and "pull" can sometimes, depending on the context, mean relative to the body alignment. Your point about the clubface opening and closing throughout the swing is moot. The ball doesn't care whether the face is open or closed to the path at P2 or even P6.9. It cares at P7. Your "more accurate version" just muddies the water and makes it more confusing, when we know that for almost every full swing club where you're worried about curve… the start line is 75%+ clubface angle. So again: "the golf ball starts in the general direction of the clubface at impact and curves away from the path." Yes, when I'm working with someone who hits a pull-slice, I often fix the clubface first, because I see their natural reaction to the ball going right to try to subconsciously swing left… but there are times I will teach people to change the path first and tell them to keep doing that and aim left and play a push-fade like Trevino. It comes down to knowing the student, and/or knowing how far off they are. But that's teaching. The ball flight laws as we share them are perfectly fine. Sure, as you get to advanced students you start to talk about the rare times the face can be closer to 60% of the starting direction, or you start to talk about the gear effect. But for 99% of situations, the ball flight laws are fine, and nothing you shared, regardless of the bold text, does anything to convince me otherwise. You're just muddying it up, making a simple sentence that works into a muddier, more complex sentence that doesn't actually give us any benefits.
