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

[Shindig]

How many guys do you have confirmed for 5/24?  Would it blow up the outing if I backed out?  This move is a lot more work than I expected it to be.  I might still be painting by the time 5/24 comes around.

Did we confirm 5/24? I haven't marked it on my calendar yet. I want to make sure I am able to attend.

5/24 is the date we were shooting for. I'm still waiting to hear back from courses. At this point, who's in?

I'm almost certainly in.

At present it sounds like we have 7. Me, GD, pakoh, Mvmac, shindig, you and Barrett. If we end up with 8 total, it might be fun to tweak the format a bit. I'm thinking a mini Ryder cup where we do a match play against someone of similar hcp. Barrett vs. Mike Drew vs. pakoh Etc... Thoughts?

That might be fun. Good idea Colin.

Just for FYI, that is Memorial Day weekend.

With that being said, you can pencil me in.

Thanks!

Ok, I just heard back from Industry Hills today... they said $74 for the Babe course or $95 for the Ike... The Ike tends to be everybody's favorite, although IMO, the Babe is just as good. Considering that it is $20 less for the Babe, I think we should go that way unless there are any objections.

Here is the scorecard for the Babe:


...and for the Ike:


It looks like we got 8 for sure:

@Golfingdad

@Bechambo

@Big C

@Shindig

@Pakoh

@bmartin461

Ideally, I'd like to see this get to 12 players. I know that at one point, @jefkve was interested; not sure if that still is the case. Tagging @Beachcomber , @GolfSwine , @BENtSwing , @k-troop , @mdl , @justtapitin . If you guys can think of anybody else that would like to play, tag 'em here and lets see what we can do. I'd like to send a reply back to the course by the end of the week to let them know how many groups we'll need.

[Golfingdad]

I agree.

I'd be happy to try the Babe - cheaper and I've never played it. :)  (And I vote for tips since they're not terribly long)

[mvmac]

Either one is good with me, thanks Tristan.

[Bechambo]

Babe sounds good to me.

[Shindig]

I've never played either, so I'm fine with both. Thanks for setting this up!

[tristanhilton85]

Sounds good, thread title has been updated to show the course now.

I'm going to send a group PM to the SoCal Group to try to get a few more signed up.

What's the start time? It'll be a 2 hour drive for me but doable. We get back from our Phoenix trip on Saturday. BTW I'll need some help on my HCP. I've played 3 entire rounds of golf in 2015. Will probably have 2 more under my belt by 24 May.

We're looking around a 9 am tee off.

Thanks Tristan. Looking forward to it. If we are stuck at 10-11 players, I can usually rustle up a buddy to join, but I'll save that for a last resort in the hopes that we can fill 3 groups with TST members.
