Hi guys,

I'd like to join in if not too late....

I'm a tournament coordinator for my company and had contact Black gold before....the rate was $90/ player.

It's same price for Talega as well....

But these rates are from last year so they might have changed it....

Not to late at all. We'd love to have you join us.

For me, I think $90/player would probably be ok but I'd say nothing more pricey than that. Not sure how others feel.

Agreed on both points. If we're playing a 5* course, I have no problem paying for it....

Trying to figure out a tentative headcount for the 23rd.  Just based on people who have posted in here and shown interest, here's what I have so far:

1.  Hacker101

2.  jefkve

3.  Tristan

4.  mvmac

5.  Beachcomber

6.  golfingdad

7.  Pakoh

8.  golfswine

9.  bplewis

10. mr. desmond

11. bmartin461

12. justatapin

Who am I missing?  Also, anybody bringing +1's?

I got a response from http://arroyotrabuco.com/ and they are $89 per person.  That course, in my opinion, is not nice enough, or in nice enough condition, to be worth that price, so I'd vote no, but anybody feel free to over-ride.

Playing phone tag with Talega right now, but should know something today.

I might be +1. I'm playing today with my buddy who was trying to make the last one but didn't... I'll see if he is interested.

What are your criteria for "right course/price?"  I mean, personally, I'd rather play where we'd get the biggest and best group, so if that means a course like Costa Mesa or Mile Square (I think Mile Square is great but it is a muni, so it will be cheaper) then I'd much rather do that, than go for a nicer, resort course like Talega and only get 10 people or something.

This is a democracy!  Everybody's opinion is equal!  (Except Beachcomber's ... his is only worth about 1/2)

Honestly, I'm not sure....I have a few friends who might be interested, but I dont know what their criteria is....

I don't care about price.  Price is absolute, I care mostly about value.  I'll pay $80-90 if the course is worth it.  I'm relying on you locals to make the value determination.  My +1 is based on location.  I'm either going to stay in a hotel or try and find a buddy or family member to stay with, and the only person I would stay with who plays golf is in the Carlsbad area.

I'm not trying to steer you guys any direction as I don't have a preference of course.  I just want it to be nice.  I don't want to come down there to play a course that looks like the average Sacramento muni.  I don't care how handsome and funny you all think you are, I want the course to entertain me!

I have a call into Brad at Costa Mesa to see if we can get 16 spots reserved for June 23rd.  The price is $47 to walk 18.  Or $59 with a cart.  Probably one of the cheaper places for the quality of course.  The greens are running pretty smooth, and the conditions look nice and green.  But this is a muni - it's not going to wow you by any means.

      Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
