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.

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.

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.

    • I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger. 
    • Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.
    • Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top. 
    • Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.     
    • Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
