Ha!  What he's not telling you is that he enjoys playing with me because I stink and am easily beatable.

We haven't played for money yet, but if we had, he'd have waxed me every time.

Oh, and I like Mile Square too.  (Haven't been there in forever though)

Either is fine with me.  They are both very similar in design and layout from what I recall.  I would say go with whichever is available.  The challenge is going to be getting a tee time for more than 4 guys.  From what I recall, the course books up fairly quickly.  So whomever is volunteering to set this up, may have to make a few calls to the course to work through the details?

Also, we should start a fresh thread for this so that people see it and it doesn't get lost in this thread.

Just joined this group.  I'll be moving to SoCal (sort of) this summer; figure I'll be playing as much golf as I can in and around the San Bernadino area.  Maybe I'll be able to join up with one of your outings at some point.

Short: Anyone interested in playing Tustin Ranch next Thursday?

Long: Next Thursday is my B-day, and in years past I got free golf at TR, but this year I get 18 for $25 (a major discount that I HAVE to take advantage of. I can also bring "Birthday Guests" along and they get to play for $60 (which is a small discount off the 'normal' $85 dollar rate (plus I get in for free if people are playing with me)....

So, again, anyone interested in playing next Thurday afternoon, say around 1pm? PM if you are....

Happy Birthday!  I just hit it up there for my birthday a couple weeks ago.  You should get free golf, lunch, and range balls if you have another person with you who is paying.

I wish I could do it, but I snuck out of work last week to play once, and am going to sneak out of work either next week or the following week to get out to Oak Creek for the first time.  I got a tournament there in a few weeks and wanna give it a look-see first if I can.

Good luck!  And we'll see you April 7th in Palm Springs!

Thanks! I'll be sure to post some pics and do a review after my round as well. REALLY looking forward to #11. TR seems like a really nice course. And Oak Creek is supposed to be really nice as well. Hoping to get out there soon as well.

Well, posted a short review and a pic for TR. Was a really nice course, but a bit pricey though. Pretty sure I wont be headed back except for 1) Early morning rounds ("The Big Easy": $26 for 9 holes played from the reds; perfect for an early round before work) 2) Birthdays (mine or anyone else where we can play for a discount)

Looks like I'm gonna go play Riverview this weekend. Hopefully will get some more pics to post from there as I know many people have asked me about the course (it has a less than stellar rep).

Riverview, ughh.. Real inexpensive course but just ehhh. has some fun holes and good greens but more often than not I try and stay away.

Yeah. As you're well aware, rates in OC can be brutal, so in that respect its nice. It certainly could use some work on the conditions. Fairways, iirc, are just shy of terrible. Pics on Monday!

btw, your "ehhh" is pretty close to the 4.68/10 "Fair" rating I saw for it elsewhere....

Oh, and river was actually full when I drove by there yesterday, so hopefully it'll be nicer than usual....

    • Day 4- Slow, short swings with short practice club. 
    • Day 119: 4/24/24 Chipping and pitching followed by putting through 50 mm gates.
    • @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.
    • Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
    • Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.
