  • 3 weeks later...

So were a little over three weeks away from the 15th, I don't know for sure if that will be the day or the 22nd but maybe it would be a good idea to start getting some likely commitments? For me either one is ok, who else is in?

15th should be okay. There is some work travel floating around now, but nothing certain yet.

Three weeks is kind of tough for me. I hope to make it for the (hopefully imminent) Spring/Summer outing.

I went ahead and took the liberty to PM a few members who showed some interest in this outing, hopefully we can get a good turnout, I think Brandon @bplewis24 has played some golf with @BigC before so maybe he would contact him to see if he would like to make it. I think after member turnout has been established if we have any openings members should try and bring a relative or friend so we have full groups.

BigC is a SoCal guy who just happened to be out here on business, so I doubt he will be available that weekend (he wasn't even available for the SoCal trip a couple weekends ago).  But hopefully we can get a few more guys out.  I can probably get a buddy or two to come along if we need another.

Hey Guys,

I am pretty new to nor cal and just discovered this group. I have caught up on all the posts to this thread and if there is any room on the 15th I would love to play.

-Mike


Yes definitely, we need 3 more to get 2 foursomes together so I think were at 5 right now, @bplewis24 said he can probably get 1 or 2 friends to come so we probably need just 1 or 2 members to join in to reach the number.

I'm going to ask a buddy of mine also. I'll let you know if he confirms.

Neither of the March dates were ever going to work for me, but I'm excited to get in on one of these in the future. Even more so if you guys ever feel like getting some Santa Cruz beach time in!

Well only 2 more weeks, we should be close to solid commitments in the next week, so far I'm in however my work told me overtime is starting mid march so hopefully the following Monday, if I were a betting man that's what I would think. Anyways how are the rest of you about the 15th?

    • I agree that if a lefty swing was reasonable, then that part of the situation is fine. As in, if the ball were pretty close to the bush so that a right handed swing was blocked but far enough away that he had a clear strike at the ball left handed, then I think that's a fair thing to do. But then, as Erik said, assuming that the cart path in question is wide enough to accommodate driving a standard golf cart on it, then NPR is certainly on the desert side of the path. Anyone know what the penalty is for taking an illegal drop in this way (not at the NPR)? One question I have, @iacas said the NPR was probably in the bush. Do you not have to be able to take a reasonable shot from a spot for it to count as a relief point? Assuming the NPR is in the bush, would he be allowed to determine NPR given the lefty swing but then actually drop the ball behind and towards the cart path from the NPR to give himself a right handed shot that wasn't blocked by the bush? Here he would be determining NPR given the proposed lefty shot, but then taking the actual drop in a place where he wouldn't get full relief for the lefty shot. Is that legal. To be more extreme, what if the OB line were 18 inches into the desert from this cart path. If you take relief for a lefty swing, is the NPR OB, since your feet fit in bounds on the desert side of the cart path? Or does OB not count as a relief point so there you'd get to drop on the grass side of the path. Assuming that's true, is it then legal to do what the OP's friend did, which is drop in the grass to get relief from a lefty swing, then set up for a righty swing and take relief again into the fairway?
    • Day 246 (5 Jan 25) - - Super short game session today - 54° at 10-15 yds max.  Real simple - pick a target landing point near the “pin” and get the ball to release toward the same.  Focused on set up and engaging the club’s bounce - the club performed nicely - a few near dunks, one hop in the hole, and lots of finishes inside a 10’ radius of the pin. 
    • Day 26: 1/5/2025 I got feedback from Yoda on my swing videos I sent him and he pointed out two things.  First was a direction and amount of a weight shift I've been working on, so I'll have to tweak that a bit.  Second, (This one I was aware of, but I'm glad he pointed it out, that makes me feel like I can at least somewhat self diagnose my problems.) I got a hitch at the top that I've worked on eliminating, or at least reducing, and it's back. The hitch and my hand-path are sort of my perpetual-swing-nemeses.  So, today it's back to the mirror. And lots of slow motion swings. Focusing on direction and volume of a weight shift as well as eliminating the hitch at the top.  I'm excited about where my swing is going. I "feel" like it's improving. Time will tell if feel is real in this case. 
    • So, swing wight on a Ping G430 I think is like D0. Lightening the grip by 6 grams will move it one swing weight higher... D1.  Personally, I can't tell the difference of just one swing weight point. Normally it takes 2 or more likely 3 points for me to notice. Others, however, say that they can feel 1/2 of a swing weight point.  I'd probably just leave it, but if you can feel the difference, you could add a 5 gram butt weight. Your other option, of course, is to just replace the rear weight in the B430 head with one that's 2 grams lighter and you will counteract the 1 swing-weight-point. (Rule of thumb: 2 grams in the head = 1 swing weight point. 5 grams in the grip = 1 swing weight point.)  You can google "Ping G430 driver head weights" and get sources to get just about any mass of weight you desire. 
    • It probably depends on you. I would say just use the driver for at least a handful of rounds. Give yourself a chance to get acclimated. And see if you notice a difference.
