2015 SoCal Fall Outing Thread at Eagle Glen, Oct 11

[tristanhilton85]

I didn't remember anything wrong, I have all the PM from Brad regarding the root cause of his complaint.

Like I said, even if you remembered correctly, there is a reason why we prefer not to have kids there. If you want to pm me that's fine, but as of now this topic is OT.

[iacas]

Sorry his bitterness spread to everyone else, I don't mind bowing out of any further outings. . .

Nobody's bitterness spread, @Lihu . These events are not about playing with your kids. You have, as I said before, 361 other days of the year to do that. These events - and I just came from one near me - are about getting together with other members of the site. Other adult members (male or female, though I don't know if the first woman has attended yet).

These events are NOT about bringing your kids. Never were.

The fact that you and @hacker101 brought your kids every time basically meant that you were playing at the same time as the TST outing, but you never really participated in them. You were just at the same golf course at about the same time. The two of you never hung out afterward, and almost always played together for the reasons I outlined in my post a year or two ago.

Nobody's wronged you, @Lihu , and to the contrary I think people were too accommodating for too long when you kept insisting on bringing your kid along. My wife, for example, thinks it was wrong of you to keep bringing your kid, and so it's wrong now to insist that you're being wronged.

These outings are for adult members. That's it. They always have been - the fact that you were able to fill out a foursome and play at the same time as some previous outings doesn't change that. You weren't actually really participating in the outings.

Anyway, I agree this is OT, but @Lihu , you're doing it again. You're blaming other people and getting mad at them when they've done little to nothing wrong. Just as you did in your Member Swing thread. If you can't see that, then I don't know how to help you.

Attend the SoCal event or not, but if you do, you'll be attending alone. Which, I'm guessing, means you won't be attending… which is completely fine with everyone . You, Drew, me, Mike, Tristan… everyone.

Out of context much?

I would be happy to let anyone on this site read the dialog between Lihu and myself over PM.  I did not say anything that fits a "bitterness" category.

Was I disappointed that first outing?  Yes.  But those were my reasons, and they were intended to be private.

Anyway - Didn't I say this just two posts up?

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

Brad

I'm not sure how that translates to "Brad hates to golf with kids".

Anywho - @tristanhilton85 - What did Oak Valley say?

Anywho - @tristanhilton85 - What did Oak Valley say?

I'll be calling tomorrow.

So, with @Lihu deciding not to join us, our current list is as follows:

@mvmac

@Golfingdad

@tristanhilton85

@bmartin461

@jefkve

@Shindig

@No Mulligans

That gives us 7. I talked with Barrett yesterday ( @Bechambo ) and he sounded like he wanted to play. That would give us eight.

I tried calling the course right now, and they are closed until the end of the month as they are over seeding. I'm sure that I can call on the first and get a tee time for everybody, but considering that the course will have been opened for less than 2 weeks at the time of our outing, it may be cart path only.

Should we just wait and see what they say on the 1st, or do you guys want to try another course?

[bmartin461]

According to GreensKeeper, they will be cart path only on the 11th.

How about Campions Club in Corona?

I've played it before a few times, interesting course and challenging even though it's not long.

Ummm... honestly, I absolutely hate that course. Extremely gimmicky in my opinion.

There are some other courses in that area that I'd consider though (Eagle Glen, Dos Logos, Goose Creek).

I'd say maybe let's wait and see but consider a backup plan? I know I liked Tukwet last time and haven't been back since ... Perhaps we consider their other 18 as a possibility of Oak doesn't work out? It's right across the street I think so it shouldn't affect anybody's plans. Also, @bmartin461 There is no need to explain yourself. Lastly, just a reminder that I'm not 100% yet ... Still haven't got confirmation from the wife that she hasn't already "claimed" that weekend for herself. :P

[mvmac]

Eagle Glen, Dos Logos, Goose Creek.

I'd vote for changing it up and going for one of these courses. I liked Goose Creek and haven't played Eagle Glen or Dos Lagos so I would be happy to play one of those.

Also I'll page,

Fair enough, it's been a while since I have played it so maybe I'm remembering it differently.

I'm good with Goose Creek, but I think we have been there already.

RE: Goose Creek:

ALERT: Aeration & Improvements
Following is the tentative overseeding and aerification schedule:

Sunday Sept 27th begin aerification at noon, the last tee time is at noon on the 27th, the range will remain open. The golf course will remain closed until Tuesday Oct 6th but the driving range will be open during overseeding. Upon reopening there will be some extra watering and it will be cart path only until 10/22.

In addition there will be some course renovations projects occuring such as: Enlarge Blue Tee Box on hole #2, Renovate green side bunker on hole #2, New Blue Tee Box on hole #4, Renovate green side bunker on hole #5 and New contour mounding near Red Tee on hole #18

[Shindig]

I just played really well earlier today on aerated greens, so I'm fine with them, although this would be my first outing with my new Edel. Either way, anything fine with you all is fine with me.

[k-troop]

I'm tentative! I think it's possible just have to firm the date and location. It'll be about a 2 hour drive for me but worth it to see Barney in his loudmouth pants!!

If it's not 1000 degrees, you better believe I'll be wearing those pants!!

I will be on the east coast from Oct 6-20th

Traitor.

[bmartin461]

I looked at Eagle Glen and I would vote for that course if others are interested.

[gregsandiego]

Thanks for the mention. I live down in San Diego. "So Cal" is a pretty big region. What area is considered the center point for this group?
