We have not started planning our next outing yet - prolly should get going on that.

Should probably just skip winter and call it the Spring outing.

Should we plan on early May? Palm Springs?

Cool, I'm back in the mix of things! (Me and my son.) We haven't been to Industry Hills yet. @Big C mentioned SCGA discounts until the summer? As I recall there were lots of trees for ni

I'm in and I think I might be able to get Kaili to join if he's not too busy.

Going to try @hacker101 as well, if he's (or we're) not in a club competition?

Sounds good to me.  As usual, let's start by trying to lock down a date and then we can figure out courses and times after that.

If possible, I hope to avoid the weekend of May 2nd, since I just committed to something for the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.

How about April?

This might be better for me. I have too many things going on in May.

Another outing would be great. That said, my availability is pretty limited in April & May. I'll give you guys the dates that I am free as of now. I don't expect anyone to plan around my schedule, but to the extent that it might help "break a tie," here you go.

- Saturday April 11

- Saturday/Sunday April 25-26

- Saturday/Sunday May 2-3

- Saturday May 9

And other than that, my weekends are booked up until May 30th.

I know we owe Tristan a trip out to the desert, but Industry Hills would be a great venue for a SoCal outing and it might allow a few more guys from the greater Los Angeles area to participate.

Palm Desert sounds fantastic. I'm 100% behind that. In fact, I'd be fine having all four quarterly outings there... :-) But not April 11, despite two people who can make it. That's the Masters Saturday.

Well so what then?  Everybody knows the Masters doesn't start until Sunday afternoon. :-P

Good point. As it is, I'm probably not going to get to watch the short course contest this year, nor the first two rounds. If April 11 works for everyone else, I'm fine with it.

DVRing the Masters is dumb. You'll all miss out on some great thread discussions. Watch it Live. Very very few commercials during The Masters.

The Palm Springs area would be great. If we want to do it out this way, April would probably give us the cooler weather as it typically gets hot by the time May rolls around. That being said, we'll probably get better bang for our buck in May. On top of that, it hasn't exactly been cool for us out here (already a couple days at 90°) so it might be just as hot in April.

I agree with Colin that Industry Hills would be a great choice. I'm fine with driving as long as we have a good turn out, so I can look into that. IIRC, I think were looking at around $100 each at Industry on the weekend. Another option would be somewhere out in the IE so that it's pretty central to everybody. I know that we've played there before, but I'd be good with Goose Creek again.

I'd be up for either of these. Are you thinking of Babe or Ike?

I'd be good with either of those if we end up at Industry. I know a lot of people prefer Ike, but both are really nice.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
