While Kaili and I need to wait around before hastily lugging a 90# harp to the audition, we'll be forelornly thinking about those empty spots.

Well, hope it gets filled, and have a great time!

Yep will be thinking about the fun will miss while playing Diamond Bar Sunday afternoon, does not even come close to the TST fun!

Hmm, Tristan, Mike and Barrett are all split up.  Who's going to take home the trophy now?

I'm gonna go with Mike's group, as I'm sure Drew brought in a ringer.  13.8 handicap that will shoot 79.  Book it!

LOL ... if he is a ringer, it's not my fault!  He's the dad of one of my daughters preschool classmates.  I've hung out with him a couple of times and he's a really nice guy, but I've never golfed with him. ;)

I'd still put my money on Barrett ... the dude's never lost.  Tristan and Mike have played in other groups and/or outings that Barrett didn't attend.  He is the only one who is undefeated.

Just wait!!!

I can have him playing at "my level" by about the 3rd or 4th hole :dance:

Oh, wait--I'm on the same team :~(

10am is the first time right?

10pm, Mike. You're on the west coast, remember?

Anyway, take lots of pictures, eh? We always forget to do that.

Quick reminder to my team, play to the center of the greens. Everyone else can go for the flag ;-)

I was already planning to. That course has kicked my (redacted) enough the last two times I played it to even consider the flag. Question about the rules for tomorrow: are we considered teammates for purposes of advice and such during the round? For example, if you see me about to hit an 8-iron, are you allowed to say "no, hit a 7-iron at (whatever target) instead"? I know in foursomes you can, but that's not what we're playing tomorrow.

I don't see why not.  It's a team competition.  Plus it's a really laid back competition, and we're not really playing for any big prizes or anything (unless Mike surprises us tomorrow! ;)), just for a bit of bragging rights and fun.


By the way, it looks like the course has a fairly decent restaurant on site (Derricks) for anybody who wants to hang around after golf for a late lunch/early dinner, or just a drink or something.  I'm hoping to be able to stick around a bit - depending of course, on how crazy the kids are driving the wife by then. :beer:

I will almost certainly be up for it.

The committee rules that this is all good.

There will be a prize for the winning team and MVP, sorry no TaylorMade lockers this time.

The committee rules that none of Jeff's scores count. Sorry. Tristan slipped me a fiver.

    • It's likely per "category" of clubs, so irons would be one category, wedges would be a category, driver a category, fairway woods/hybrid a category, etc. They aren't going to charge you $50 per iron for a fitting. Almost all iron fittings are done with like a 6 or 7 iron, fitters don't carry full sets of every iron. So yes, if you use a 7 iron for the fitting and let's say you get fit into the P790 with a certain shaft, 1 degree flat and .5" longer than normal you would just order the full set of P790s with that shaft/lie angle/length combination and you'll be perfectly fine.  
    • I think the $50 fitting price tag is per club. The clubs I am most interested in getting fitted for are irons. And I'd rather not spend a bunch on getting fitted for multiple irons. Would I be fairly safe to assume that choosing something like a 6 or 7 iron for fitting would likely relate to other lofts in the same configuration/make/model?
    • A Mevo is 500. Comes with little decals to hit balls inside too. 
    • I replaced a 3 driving iron as it was called. If I hit it clean it went close to 180 like the hybrid does but it was very inconsistent. I had to aim left because it would fade and I could never hit it dead nuts straight. We have a lot of wind being by the ocean so a left to right wind was suicidal with that club for me. I don't have a lot of Shot Scope data so far that would show yardage as far as dispersion or proximity to hole goes, but so far everything is staying relatively tight. I am not spraying the ball, I feel like it goes where I aim, any thing off is user error and not the club. 
    • Ok, great. Best of luck to you in the future. I gave you the answer for significantly less than $20k though, just sayin.
