No course/region has been settled on as of this moment.  I think we're starting with the date first.

For the people that have already said the weekend of the 18th/19th is good (I'd prefer to call it the 18th if there are no objections), what courses would you be open to?

I like the idea of Poppy Ridge, but have no other recommendations as I've played no courses out near the bay.

Well as of 1/1/14 I don't think I'm a member anymore.  I belong to a country club now.  Are NGCA memberships customarily included in dues fees?

My brother and dad belong to a country club in NorCal and they both belong to ncga, so I'm gonna say yes. But I don't know for sure if it's the same everywhere. Edit: Couldnt find you on ncga.org so maybe you're right.

I paid mine separate so you may want to check it out, actually go on NCGA's website and enter your ghin, I would think if your paid then it will show your info.

Poppy Ridge works for me.

I like Poppy Ridge as well. I would check your course here if it's under NCGA. Just put in your city or zip code and check if it's listed. http://www.ncga.org/course-directory/?page_id=60

So right now, we currently have six people. Still looking for two more to make at least two groups.

Best Regards,
Ryan

My course is listed there (North Ridge CC), but it's not in orange as a "member advantage course."

Just talked to Poppy Ridge and the answer was a no, Golf now is probably the best deal.

Golfnow rates probably won't be up for another couple of weeks for that weekend, but currently, the rate for NCGA members $74 and General green fees are $90 - both if we book 7+ days in advance.

I'm okay with Poppy Ridge but the only thing is this course has no trees hardly which means wind. Also I would feel bad if I was the only one who got a discount so I thought I would throw a few other suggestions.

Paradise Valley/Ranch Solano

http://www.fairfieldgolf.com/sites/courses/template.asp?id=1406&page;=88169

Hiddenbrooke

http://www.hiddenbrookegolf.com/index.php

Chardonnay

http://www.chardonnaygolfclub.com/

Eagle Vines

http://www.eaglevinesgolfclub.com/

Canyon Lakes

http://www.canyonlakesgolfclub.com/

I have played at all these courses with the exception of Eagle Vines and it looks very nice, Paradise Valley was the prettiest of them because even though it's not very old they kept all the old oak trees there so it looks like an established course, Rancho Solano has some of the largest greens I have ever seen and is in a very nice setting, Hiddenbrooke is very nice, they used it for an LPGA event , Chardonnay is very nice and is similar to Poppy Ridge since it's surrounded by vineyards and is also a 27 hole facility, Canyon Lakes is probably the least expensive but is surrounded by housing but may be logistically the best.

Anyways thought I would just throw out some food for thought and even if we stick with Poppy which I am totally okay with, these may be some options for next year, by then Poppy Hills will be back.

Wente in Livermore is also a really great course. They used to host a Nationwide event there a few years ago. It is a Greg Norman design.

I've only played Wente once and agree that it should be on the list of courses to hold outings. The weekend rate is pretty high, though.

So far, we're still at six guys. If you have any buddies that wish to join, by all means, we're very much open to that. We need to get everything finalized by the end of this week.

Ryan

I agree Wente is very nice according to people I know who have played there, however I think the rates there are a little on the steep side ($120.00 golf now). The socal guys look as though $80.00 is what they are paying unless they found a deal. I think we should try and stay as close to the same rate as possible.

Okay so we're just over a week away from our outing. I checked Poppy Ridge and we can now book a 7+ day advance booking for $90 with cart, but it would have to be booked by tomorrow. So far, the day is still wide open for tee times. I'm thinking a morning tee time between 8:00 and 9:00.

I also want to confirm the members who will be going.

@bplewis24

@mchepp

@flopster

@RonTheSavage

@Rock26

I'm still hoping for two more people to join in.

    • From what I heard over the weekend, Shedeur pulled a "Bo Callahan" with the Giants. Per Todd McShay: “Shedeur didn’t have a great interview with Brian Daboll in a private visit. An install package came in, preparation wasn’t there for it, he got called out on it, he didn’t like that. Brian didn’t appreciate him not liking it." You can have all the talent in the world (which I am not sure he has, as CU tailored the offense to his strength in a weak division ), but you have to act like a top round draft pick and not like an unproven legend! If you get drafter at 3 as a QB in the draft you are expected to lead that team, and preparation is part of that.  Playing ball in NY (any sport) requires you to deal with criticism, and deal with it as a professional.  
    • I agree that in a pure stroke-play situation the use of E-5 limits the possible scores by limiting the potential to hit multiple shots OB.  But in a Stableford or "quota" game, a player is likely to be in "blob" territory anyway, so its a minimal difference.   I understand that E-5 is viewed differently in different parts of the world, I don't know what the Australian attitude would be, but I don't see a problem with using it.  
    • Probably hurt him a small bit. I am pretty sure Ward didn’t throw. He probably over evaluated his skill. Which may be his entitled attitude. I agree with the pick at that point. I think he’s closer to an end of the day 2 pick than a day 1 prospect. There has been plenty of QB’s who had similar numbers that don’t thrive in the NFL. It’s easy to get a high comp% in college and put up big numbers. 1) Colorado had to score a lot to win, so they aired it out. 2) The level of competition is low.  Against FBS teams with a winning % he was 70% with 7.5 y/a. Lots of short easy stuff.  Versus Will Howard who had 75% with 9.5 y/a. That 2 y/a is huge.  Cam Ward, 67% at 10 y/a. Look at Joe Burrow, 75% at 10.2 y/a. He was unable to read defenses well enough against FBS teams with winning % to push the ball down field.  I get his o-line was bad, but Miami had an average O-line, not elite and there is a noticeable difference between the two QB’s. They should never been talked as 1A/1B.    
    • That's what I'd suggest you do ,post hole-by-hole, post an "x" for the holes not played,  unless directed otherwise by a Handicap Committee with approval from your state golf association.  "Par plus.." is no longer used, unless specific instructions are given.  Note that Clarification 3.2b/2 says it should be used "only when approved by the Authorized Association".
    • I have no idea if he's any good or not. I've only ever seen him play one game. I will say he probably got bad advice going into the draft. He should have done all the "Combine Stuff" at the combine. Refusing to throw at that combine hurt.  I disagree about what his game film shows. I'm no expert, but I tried to watch as much as I could this weekend. I think it's really hard to find any game film on him that's worth a pile of beans. He's either playing really inferior competition in which case the game film is worthless. Or he's immediately running for his life the moment the ball is snapped. In which case the game film is worthless. He should have gone through the combine stuff. That was a huge mistake.  I do think it's a great pick for the Browns in the 5th round. Why not take him at that point? I think he has a chance to develop into something. Completing 75% of his passes, for 4100 yards, 37 TD's with only 10 picks behind that terrible offensive line is pretty good numbers. He may stink out loud at the next level, but being picked in the 5th round means he isn't a bust. He's just a 5th round pick that didn't work out.  If he stinks. Who cares? .... The Browns have had plenty of bad quarterbacks over the last 25 years.
