Is the plan to meet out there at 10:30am or so?

My son and I might want to get some practice in before the round.

@hacker101, do you want to caravan out there?

@mvmac and @iacas, is there going to be an Aimpoint session before the round?

Lihu,

Caravaning will be great, I assume we will take the 60 out to the course.

If so we could meet in Diamond Bar?

I don't know why I keep thinking you live in Alhambra, but Diamond Bar is already more than halfway to the course.

Maybe we'll try to meet there a bit early to practice. This way we won't be so far behind the others again.

@mvmac and @iacas

My current unofficial handicap is around 15 to 16, but I would take whatever you guys give me (18 or more?). Unless, you can fix my chipping and putting before the event.

My son is going to start high school tryouts, and needs to get better, so this gathering will hopefully get him going. He is going as an 18, again, since he is training for the USA Archery Indoor Nationals on March 8th.

Sure, we could look around for stuff to eat as it looks like we are playing through lunch.

Cool the closer it gets lets go to PM at that point, ya it looks like we will be the last qroup out so even rounding the bend will be a bit late to eat.

Anyone else interested let us know.

Good chance it will be in San Diego


Oh, boy. Let me see if I can get the family to go on a San Diego mini vacation.

Could my son tag along to the clinic with me? PM me if there is a plan to do it.

Can someone point me to a message that has the details about the outing?  Cost, logistics, sign-uo, etc.

Thanks, I'd like to avoid having to read all 12 pages of the thread.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Uhm… It's February 16. Tee times start at about 11:30. $70 (rack rate is $83).

I think this is the current list. Add yourself to it if you can come (hope you can!)

We'll add handicaps here shortly. Cap is 16 players, I think, as Mike only has four foursomes, IIRC.

    • Day 98 - 2025-01-06 Ever hurt your rib cage while coughing or sneezing? Yeah. Beat Lou in a putting contest today pretty handily (3&1). That counted.
    • Day 5 - 30 minutes of green-side work. Lofted club chipping, bump and run with 9 iron. 
    • I don't know if it's the torque balance or whatever else. But I got fitted for an Edel 4.0 a few years back and gained a bit under two strokes on the green! So, at minimum, get fit 😁
    • Yes, thats still your NPCR.  Your stance might be OB, which is legal, it might be down the cliff, or in water in a Penalty Area, those factors don't disqualify that from being the NPCR. However, once you make that drop, you have a new situation, one for which a left-hand stroke might be reasonable.  As you describe it, if you went further left of the path the ball might be OB if you got your feet off the path in taking a left-handed swing.  If all that is true, your NPCR for a left-hand swing could be on the right side of the path.  Its important to consider a probable sequence of relief situations before you decide to lift the ball to take relief the first time.
    • This is one of the handiest rules of thumb to remember. If relief is free, it's one club length. If it's with penalty, it's two club lengths (or on the line away from the flag when that's allowed). On the OB question, suppose your ball is on the cart path and your reasonable swing setup is right handed and you "have" to take relief (says it's a mini cobblestone path and the ball is sitting down and you're guaranteed to blade it and not really know where it's going, and probably damage your club). Your NPR is left of the path, as it almost always is for a righty. But while the ball can be in bounds, your feet will be across the OB line between the hole and the houses lining the fairway. Is that still an NPR? Are you allowed to take a right handed swing with your feet OB? What if the OB is a cliff or other landscape feature that means you can't stand there? Does a point on the left hand side of the path still count as NPR?
