I started this group for Socal golfers to come and discuss anything from courses you have played.  Looking for a tee time - or a playing partner... To good practice facilities and retail shops to buy golf gear and play the game we love.

I'm from SoCal but most of time playing at Inland Empire, Eagle Glen, Morongo Club, Oak Valley to name a few.

Absolutely loved Oak Vally last time played there. Long course but enjoyable.

Heard they're getting ready for Q-school so rough is...well very rough!!!

For course around OC, I'd like to play at Black Gold or Talega, and RSJ if not toooo slowwww.....this is where my golf life started last Oct.

Oh, yeah of course Mile Square is also great course.

Notice you played at Meadowlark last week.....how was it? It was very slow last time I play.

Next target? River view....some told me to stay away though.......

I live in the Coachella Valley, so if anybody is going to be playing out here, let me know; if possible I'd be more than happy to join up with somebody. Lots of great courses around here... I played Desert Willow today (Mountain View course) and it was awesome.

I would be totally up for a TST outing over there.  Heck, it's only a 60-70 minute drive or so, and it seems like all I ever hear lately are people raving about Desert Willow.  Maybe we could put together a foursome (or two) and if we ask nice even get mvmac to join us???

The only thing is that Desert Willow can be pretty pricey... if you don't live in Palm Desert, I think the posted rate is $135 or so...

That being said, it'd be cool for a bunch of us to be able to get together and play a round. I know I'd be willing to make the drive out towards LA or wherever if that'd work out better for everybody.

Sorry, I haven't checked this group.  I'm looking to play this Sunday, 10/28 if anyone wants to join.  Most likely in the OC area - but I'd be willing to drive to the Inland Empire or LA area if we find a solid deal on Golfnow or Golfzing.

PM me if you guys are interested.

What is a good central location for us to meet on, possibly, Sunday early mornings? Seems like a few of us are in the Inland Empire, OC and I am in San Gabriel Valley. How about San Dimas or Diamond Bar? Sunday morning is $60 for San Dimas and $33 for Diamond Bar walking. Could not find it on Golfzing. Fullerton is another option?

I just looked and there isn't an opening remaining at 7AM for 18 holes on Sunday at RSJ.  Only a back 9 special at 7AM.  I'll catch you another time!

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.
    • Wordle 1,070 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
