[QUOTE name="Lihu" url="/t/83491/2015-socal-fall-outing-disussion-thread#post_1200548"]   11th sounds possible for me too. [URL=http://www.oakvalleygolf.com/HttpGate?name=ShowPage[/QUOTE] Maybe we can do a combo. Like play the Blues on 1, 2, 4, 6, 10 and 17. That would be 6,521.

I'm cool with a combo set of tees; at one point, I even knew the formula for reporting such a playing. :-)

I think that the 11th should work out for me. I'll reach out to Oak Valley soon and see what we can expect as far as price goes.

I may join if there is a spot for me.  It depends on the scheduling of a medical procedure, photopheresis.  If I'm started on that, it's two a week for the first month and each time takes out two days,  that's four days I'll be out per week.  1 day for the procedure followed by 24 hours of having to stay out of sunlight, even indirect sunlight... not sure how that's even possible.  This is to be decided on my next appointment on Sept 28th, then there's getting the pre-approval from insurance and scheduling the appointments.  Long story short, most likely I'll be available on the 11th.

Yes that would be great.

That would be two foursomes by my count.

Probably not (maybe if we need to fill a spot), we seem to already have two groups.

Also, I thought we've been over this a few times ;-)

You could look for another Father/Son combination then it would work as you would add a complete foresome at that point.

They're not interested. . .and the one that used to play on these outings with us doesn't want to go on any more outings. Guess that's it for me as well, I'd rather go with friends anyway. . .

Are you serious? I understand you like playing golf with your son... I'm sure I'm going to love playing with mine, but that doesn't mean you have to every time. This is a outing for the guys on the site to meet up, play some golf and bull shit a little. I don't get what you don't understand about that. If you want to play in an outing with your son find a damn Father/Son outing and sign up for that... I don't recall the thread title being "TST 2015 Fall Bring Your Kids Outing." Also, I guess it's good to know that you don't consider us friends.

You're remembering wrong. And even if you aren't, that's EXACTLY the reason we don't want kids or a lot of guests. Imagine how Brad would've felt.... He's there to meet guys from the site and ends up playing with a guy, his kid, and his FiL. That's a little uncomfortable, don't you think? I'm sorry Lihu, but you are way off base here. If you can't manage to wrap your head around this then it's probably better that you do bow out of future events.

    • 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.
