If something isn't ironed out by the end of Feb for the April 7th or 8th in Palm Springs... Then I'll step in and put something together.  Tristan/Mike - you two were going to lock down a course in Palm Springs, right?

[tristanhilton85]

I'll PM or email Mike and see where we stand on this... I think he was going to try to work something out with one of the courses and see if we can get a better rate.

So, I was going back over the possible courses and all of that and I think we should play Oak Valley in Beaumont. I know that it's not quite the Palm Springs area but for pretty much everybody (except me) it's closer than the desert (about an hour for those coming from the LA or OC areas). Also the course is in phenomenal shape and their regular rate is $55 weekdays and $69 weekends so I'm sure we can get something pretty affordable worked out, more so than if it was in the desert. Given the fact that it's closer, in great shape and likely cheaper than the Palm Springs area, I think we'd get a better turnout.

Here is the link to the site...

Check it out and let me know what you all think...

We don't mind at all.

Oh yeah, one other kind of cool thing... Right by the course is a little sports bar we could get drinks at afterwards called "The Sand Trap."

Its a sign!!!

That's a nice looking course!  And at 7000 yards it looks really tough.

White tees anybody? ;)

At nearly 6400 yards, I think the white tees would be more than fine. The course still rates 71.0/131 from there... not exactly easy.

I got a chance to play there last fall and it was not packed at all, due to cold wethaer I think, so we played from blue tee and ......well too much for us but very enjoyable.

I remember some fun par3 holes; island green and big downhill shot.

It is a very good course for sure and can't beat the price too.

Sounds good Tristan.  thanks!

[mvmac]

Yes thanks Tristan, I'll get to this in the next few days.  Looking for it to be on a Sunday

Hahhah that is perfect.  We gotta get pics and post this time.

[Beachcomber]

Once we get the course confirmed and date... Lets start a new thread to get the official headcount.  From that thread, we can put together teams, etc...

[mvmac]

Yeah I think Oak Valley is a good choice, just left a message for the tournament director.  Looking at having about three groups?
