Any suggestions for Saturday golf that is quality in the area since Tukwet is full.

Nah, Tristan was only saying (I think) that the people he met were playing their tournament in March, then a couple people questioned him and I also "fanned the fire" simply because I already know tha

Yeah exactly lol.  I do have his number....  Tell him you're a good friend of Dana and Grant's and ask why he's trying to copy the S&T; swing

You're near Anaheim, right?  Mile Square in Fountain Valley (where we played our first "tournament") has a couple of nice and reasonable courses.  There are a zillion more, but I don't know the north OC courses as well, so I'll let Beachcomber and Pakoh take this one ...

I can be in the general area- the OC or nearby At same time if golfing in Southern California' is like golfing in Dallas, you've got to golf early on the weekends

Well, now that it's daylight savings time I think you're OK late too ... but, yeah, mid mornings at popular courses are risky.

Two more ... Black Gold in Yorba Linda and Coyote Hills in Fullerton both have some pretty good deals on golfnow.com.  Unfortunately, I've never played either so I can't really give much advice one way or the other.  They both look nice, and I've heard that Black Gold is tough, but other than that ... I got nothing. ;)

Oak Valley, which is across the freeway from Tuckwet, is a nice one. If you come out to the Palm Springs area, there are some really nice ones as well but a little on the pricey side.

Oh, one that I really liked but have only played once is Goose Creek in Corona ... http://www.goosecreekgc.com/  I've also heard Eagle Glen in the same area is pretty nice, and I believe that neither of them is too terribly pricey.  http://www.eagleglengc.com/

And here are the websites of the other aforementioned courses ...

Mr D,

What type of course are you looking to play?

Mid range or high end cost, there are a lot of great courses, Coyote Hills is really nice $90 with cart, we only used to play this once a year Christmas Morning outting with a few friends.

Anaheim Hills lots of fun.

Green River, not played it in years, Diamond Bar the same.

West Ridge in La Habra, some like it others do not about $86 with cart Saturdays, keep up but some find it a tough course.

Fullerton a real muni course not always keep up, but a lot of regulars there every day.

La Mirada, our home course, fun and they keep it up we always have fun playing there but you have to play early gets a bit crowed on Saturdays and they like to send out 5 somes so it can back up. We walk on the back 9 to fill in some times and that moves really well. No tee time for that but you have to check in by 6:30 am or you will not get on. They stop the back 9 once the front catchs up.

Played Dos Lagos in Corona yesterday front 9 kicked my ass, back 9 was really fun a bit hot so I suggest if you play you tee early.

I forgot all about Industry Hill, they use to hold a lot of tournaments there, I would assume they have been keeping it up.

I think it will come down to how much you want to spend $$ and if you can get a tee time, it is starting to get crowed now.

Have fun let us know what you decided.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By StuM ·

      Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point.

      When someone is trying to validate their choice, statements concluding with "right" are often the MO.  Too bad he thinks he has to keep defending his decision, just do like guys like DJ and HVIII - take the money, play the tourneys and keep quiet.

      Scottie & Rory on Wedge Game

      By saevel25 ·

      I liked Rory talking about keeping it shallow. I think a lot of people imagine steep as really steep. Trackman has a PW attack angle at 5 degrees. Pitch shots you probably want less than 5-degrees.  Here is 5 degrees, the dashed line. It isn't much at all.  People probably need to feel like the club is stupidly shallow if they hit it really steep.  Some good tidbits of information though.
