Hi guys... I'm going to play 18 on Sunday.  I haven't booked a time anywhere, yet.  But figured it would be cool to play with some guys from the TST.  Let me know if you are up for playing.  I'd like to try and keep the rate reasonable (sub $80) if possible.  So that may rule out some of the upper echelon courses in the OC area...  But there are still a ton of solid courses to be played at that rate.

Quick update... I just bought a Deal Caddy offer which is $42, plus a $5 lunch voucher at San Jaun Hills.

http://dealcaddy.golfnow.com/

Valid October 23, 2012 through December 31, 2012. Valid any day, any time Monday through Friday and after 12pm on Sunday. Not valid on Saturday. Limit 4 per person, may purchase 4 additional as gifts. Deal is tax inclusive.

I'm going to probably use this for golf on Sunday the 28th?  I need to call the course and book a tee time.  Unfortunately, it will be after 12 PM on Sunday if I decide to use it.

Yeah I saw that deal.  Unfortunately a Sunday tee time after 12 won't work for me this weekend.  But we should put together a TST SoCal foursome at some point for sure.

Speaking of sub-$80 courses down south, I've heard good things about the Navy course and El Dorado?  Any opinions?

I haven't played the Navy course.  But El Dorado is legit.  I also like Skylinks which is in Long Beach.  If you have any more details on the Navy course, please share.  As I just recently heard it in passing and don't know where it is or how to find it.

Thanks!

Never played the Navy course, so no personal details to share.  Just heard it's pretty fun.  It's in Seal Beach, http://www.navygc.com/.  I just played Skylinks for the first time maybe last month and that was definitely a fun course.

Update... I ended up booking a discounted tee time on Golfnow for Glen Ivy (Inland Empire / Corona) on Sunday.  Not a bad deal... $38 for 18 holes.  Hard to refuse.

How was it? I see it in Southland Golf all the time. I looked at the wrong thread, so I missed out :-( Are you planning something next month?

This Saturday is a men's league that I play in.  I'll start a new post on that as I'm a team captain and we need players.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
