Sorry I didn't make the last 5SK instructional school.  I was really bummed, but had to fly 6,776 miles for a meeting. z6_surrender.gif

You were still here Friday! :-)

I know somebody who may have a connection at Monarch Beach. ;)  Bueller?  Bueller?  Anyone?

Monarch sounds good. We were there for a wedding the week before Talega. My daughter played harp for it.

My anonymous source tells me that if he shows up to Monarch with riff-raff like me, that he will lose all credibility and reputation. (Which is pretty funny considering this fella always likes to play in cargos. ;))  Anyways ... Monarch's weekend rate is $210, so no matter what kind of deal they could give us, it's going to be too expensive. :)

However, what about Tijeras Creek?  I mentioned it last time - its a really nice course - but I cannot remember if I ever got far enough to find out what kind of rate they'd give us.  Their regular rate on the weekends is $120 so they'd also have to really help us out a lot to get a decent rate.  As nice as the course is though, I'd say its worth looking into if enough people are interested.  Can't hurt, right?

First things first though ... for the sake of Erik, Jerry, Brandon, or anybody else interested in making travel plans to join us, we should probably work on locking down a date.

we need to have Big Cheese (aka GolfyDaddy) playing and i think he said September he was busy.... so October maybe?

He is the most frequent poster on TST, and everyone wants him in their group in the "what TST member would you want to play with" thread.

im down to pay $100+ for a nice course but i think we would lose a bunch of players at that price.  What does the group think?

$100 ok?

or

Would not play if it was $100 ?

For what little it's worth, I'd be far more likely to commit if we were playing Oak Quarry, Oak Creek or Tijeras, as opposed to Temecula.  After my bitch-out session last week, I understand why my opinion might hold little (i.e.'no') weight, but I assure you guys, I'm not the type to back out of a golf date, especially with the added prospect of a session with the 5SK guys!

Tijeras is "meh" as a course, but is pretty fun, and could be easier to get on.  Oak Quarry is a great track, very fair.  Oak Creek in Irvine is a personal fave, and I have little experience at Black Gold.  I played it once, and remember it was very hilly.  I also liked Goose Creek, although it's been literally years since I played it.

LOL.  Don't plan around me!  (And I'm going to have to start cutting back on my addiction here anyway because work is starting to pick up again, finally.)

Anyways, lets do dates!  Since it sounds like IE/Temecula is at least a strong contender for the next time around (makes sense considering it was the top vote getter for the summer and is central-ish) I think that we should consider no earlier than the end of September because summer is just barely winding down out there.  Since everybody seems to like Sundays, lets maybe vote on these options:

September 29

October 6

October 13

October 20

October 27

That is just online rate I am sure we could get this down to a resonable cost but again just a suggestion?

Any of the dates should work for me...  The 10/27 date would be me and my Pops since he is in that weekend visiting.

I bolded the ones that will work best for me.

October 27 is my wife's birthday. We don't care much about birthdays, except visiting San Diego may be a good excuse as a "birthday present."

Septermber 29th is a no-go for me, as I'll be in New York that weekend.  And October 27th is my anniversary, so count me out for that weekend as well.  As far as I know, I have nothing going on 6, 13, and 20 of October, so if ya'll choose any of those ... I'm most likely in.  :)

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
