Just keep that in mind when you and your team are wondering how you lost to us.

Nope, pretty sure its just going to be my general suckiness that causes us to lose. ;)

I am holding the times for you, so once you confirm with your group let me

I was planning on getting there @ 10:30 as well. Figures That'll give me time to hit a few balls, practice a few putts, and maybe have a quick bite before heading out. Not to mention BSing with everyone...

Sounds good, we might also grab a bite. Unless, we get hungry on the trip and end up getting a Carl's breakfast burger. What was the plan after the round?

Lihu,

Are we meeting on the way or at the course, let me know one way or the other we are good either way. PM me is you want to meet prior or not.

Really we are not the first group out we will hold everyone up, I don't want to hear all day "when we are young" from the groups behind...ha-ha this is going to be fun!

Don't worry, we'll move fast. Even if it takes more strokes/balls to get to the hole. :-D

Yeah, I guess meeting at the course is fine, because we would only caravan for less than half an hour.

Looks like I had better pick up another box or two of ball.. :bugout:

I plan to bring a sack of old Callaway, but hope I don't need more than 3. Last outing I only lost 5, so I'm trending downward :-D

Let's keep it to 5 minutes per hole search per cart. That should keep the pace of play up. Take a look at the picture gallery, looks like there are a lot of trees and creek with associated marsh weeds. Looks really gorgeous, and can't wait to play it.

This. Speaking to some folks who've played it, sounds like 18 should be a lot of "fun". Over/Under on balls in the water?

I checked the forced carry for that on google maps from Whites. Looks like 202 yards aiming for the bunker. As you move off line to the right it goes to 230 yards at about 10 degrees off line.

Aim left. ;-)

Nice looking course from those shots.  Looking forward to seeing you guys in a couple days.  Just found out I have Monday off...so that makes it even more awesome.

    • Attempting to lift. Any better?  
    • Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!
    • Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)
    • Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry
    • You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
