2015 SoCal Fall Outing Thread at Eagle Glen, Oct 11

[Shindig]

So, looks like it'll be a bit warm out there next weekend...

It would be nice if it were a bit less humid.  Temperature seems fine though.

So pretty much exactly like our first day of golf in Phoenix a few weeks ago.  Piece of cake! :)

Yeah and that was the "cool" day 

[No Mulligans]

I do have some health issues with the heat.  So with this heat I'll definitely be in a cart.. My cut-off for a cart is about 80 degrees.  Not sure if you all walk or ride.

Eagle Glen has some long treks between holes and I'm sure like most of the courses in the area, greens fees include the cart.  We're all riding.

Updated my index....Hopefully can play a bit better than that come Sunday...

I think these will be the groups. Do you guys want to do the points with the foursome like we normally do or switch it up and do twosomes? Like these guys did.

I really recommend doing it as twosomes if you have eight people. I think people at the one I hosted with @Rob Thompson liked doing it that way. We tried to balance the handicaps as best we could, too.

And I'd be up for trying twosomes as well.  4 teams is more of a competition than just two. :)

@Shindig 13.5 as of Oct 1 (trend index and club index are lower if you prefer).

 

My vote is for twosomes also.  Hopefully my partner won't have to carry me in the match this time (unlike a previous twosome outing).

 

Edit:  Anyone want to meet for breakfast before going to the course?

Got a place in mind?

[Shindig]

Got a place in mind?

None in particular;  there's a Panera and a Corky's (I've never been to a Corky's, so I don't know how it is) not too far from the course.  If someone knows the area and can suggest some place, I have no attachment to my suggestions (I just saw them on Google Maps is all).

[Golfingdad]

@Ringworld, what's your current handicap? (I think Mike is going to set the teams soon and will want to make them as even as possible) :)

[tristanhilton85]

My handicap is 9.4, I'll get @Bechambo's later today

[mvmac]

Since we're doing twosomes the groups are going to be different than what I originally posted. We'll be playing the combo tees.

@mvmac 1.3 * 134/113 * 80% =  1

@No Mulligans 17.8 * 134/113 * 80% = 17

@Golfingdad 5.4 * 134/113 * 80% = 5

@Shindig 13.5 * 134/113 * 80% = 13

@Bechambo 0

@jefkve 24 * 134/113 * 80% =  23

@Ringworld 9.1 * 134/113 * 80% = 9

@tristanhilton85  9.4 * 134/113 * 80% = 9 
 

Group 1

@Bechambo (0) and @jefkve (23)

@Ringworld (9) and @tristanhilton85 (8) 

Group 2

@mvmac (1) and  @No Mulligans (17)

@Golfingdad (5) and @Shindig (13) 
 

Bogey: 1 point

Par: 2 points

Birdie: 3 points

Eagle: 5 points

Albatross: 8 points

 

[Shindig]

Looks good to me.

 

Did anyone else end up wanting breakfast tomorrow morning?
