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.

Close to an hour. Maybe 50 minutes? But all highway... So pretty easy.

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.

    • Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.
    • Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front. 
    • Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.  
    • Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
