I am still good to go for the 15th.

I'll definitely be in for as many of these as possible, but I can't do the 15th. That's the day of my daughter's 5th birthday party.

Can't miss that for anything, I almost missed my daughters first steps, I was in Hawaii for work (honest) during December and I finally got home Christmas eve, that Christmas morning she started walking so you never know. Anyways what is our count? I think it's either 5 or 6 and we will be getting those times done very soon, I'll check with Ryan if he's still doing that part.

[flopster]

I am still in, when should we be making Tee times?

Soon

[flopster]

Looks like 6 right now

@Rock26

@bplewis24

@RPMPIRE

@mchepp

We need 2 guests to fill out 2 groups perhaps @mvmac would like to take a little drive up north , Anyways that looks like it will do it so let us know who can bring someone I would think first ones to confirm are in.

Are we for sure the 15th now? I will need to find a babysitter because the wife is traveling that weekend. I would say I am a maybe.

Yes the 15th looks like the way we were heading right now, let us know if it can work out as soon as you can, the 22nd was the other day, for me I would say the 22nd is doubtful but what matters is finding the day that the most people can make it. This also is only the first one this year so I'm sure we will be able to find something that works for a lot of us eventually but just getting the first outing out of the way will at least get things started.

I can arrange to tee time at Poppy Ridge. We still would like to get a group of two going out so if anyone has a buddy they want to bring, see if they can make it. Also, what tee time does everyone prefer? Between the 8am and 10am range.

Played with someone today that said they started their spring maintenance on the course meaning aeration but I called them up and they said not until the 31st and the conditions are excellent right now till the end of the month, so after this outing I'm already suggesting Poppy Hills for the next one depending on how well everyone enjoys Poppy Ridge.

I am good for any time, earlier the better.  Just let me know when to show up..

The tee time doesn't matter to me. I can make it any time.

What's the price range again?  I told my buddy around $80 and he balked.  Said Poppy Ridge is often on golfnow for much cheaper.

[RPMPIRE]

If we book by tomorrow for a morning tee time, the general rate is $90 and $74 for NCGA members. Looking at golfnow, the rates look about the same with no morning tee times. I don't know if they'll get cheaper and I think it's better to book in advance for the morning since they seem to book fairly quick.

[Big C]

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.

Thanks for thinking of me guys, but with a baby on the way in a few weeks, my golf calendar looks really barren up through June. Have fun and shoot well!

So has @mchepp found a babysitter for the 15th? We are down to 5 if he can't make it unless we can get a friend or 2. A minimum of 6 will at least get 2 threesomes, we need to get at least this many.

I'll confirm one way or the other on Sunday.

[RPMPIRE]

I'll book two groups of 3 for Saturday. We do have a 24 hour cancellation window so we can make changes next week if we have to.

Update: I booked two tee times for 8:30 and 8:40 for next Saturday. We will be playing the Zinfandel and Merlot courses. Below is the info for the courses. We need to get the groups finalized by Thursday so I can make any adjustments if necessary.
