TST SoCal 2015 Spring Outing - May 24th, 2015 @ Industry Hills (Babe Course)

[mvmac]

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?

[Lihu]

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.

[Lihu]

How about April?

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

Hey guys, sorry not been around much. EOY darn near killed my company with the ports all jacked up. Then my step father passed away so I have been traveling back and forth to San Diego on the weekends.

Have not had much time for golf or anything so ya we are in what ever date will be fine look forward to it.

[Big C]

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.

I'd pick these dates.

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.

Also, three words:

Dee.  Vee.  Are.

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.

You could always bring it up live on your smart phone, and we can play while we watch and blog. . .

Okay, we can turn off the sound when putting. . .

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.
