Gonna be in San Diego this weekend, but sadly not playing golf. Gonna be a Sea World and SD Zoo weekend, with a little IPA and seafood thrown in for good measure. Maybe I'll sneak the clubs into the car. The wife won't notice one more bag, right? Any SD courses I can get around before 1000 am on a weekend?

0600, tee time? Probably can get in a round before they wake up. ;-)

Yeah it would have to be pretty early. @k-troop I would check out one of these courses since you're a military guy. Would recommend the Sea N' Air course and it's relatively close to Sea World/SD Zoo.

Will have to check my schedule, but hopeful to make it....

I'm out 6-7. Could possibly make it 13-14 but even that will require some maneuvering, as it's my only weekend home between now and then, and we're leaving for two weeks in Hawaii the 20th.

Thank goodness for the paging! I will block Dec 6/7 off on my calendar. Yes I'm free. Now to get back to the range. The past two months have not been kind to my golf schedule. :-(

As long as a certain persons water remains intact, and we're sticking somewhere fairly close, I'm going to try and make it.

As long as a certain persons water remains intact, and we're sticking somewhere fairly close, I'm going to try and make it. We're we thinking IE?? Empire Lakes is one I've yet to try and have heard good things about (just to throw something out there to get the ball rolling)

Anywhere is fine. . .i second Empire Lakes. Looks good. Blues or whites.

I will keep this in mind!  Technically, because of the microfracture procedure done on my knee, I can't do anything weight-bearing (including golf) until 12/4/14.  So I'll see how I'm progressing over the next few weeks and let you guys know.  I'd actually like to make this one!

3 days to spare! You have plenty of time to work on your swing between 12/4 and 12/7!

Come out and have some fun.

We missed you. Thanks for posting again. :dance:

I'm out and you should probably drop me from future lists, since I no longer live in SoCal.  But I sure enjoyed the one that I went to and I appreciate you setting it up and all the great guys who were at that one.

So you other SoCal guys, if you can get there go - it will be a good time.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I'd like to play. My wife will be out of town for work both of those days, so my availability is contingent on whether my parents are able to watch our son. I'll check with them and confirm back here within the next few days.

My folks say they can watch the little guy while I golf, so count me in for December 7th

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
