Hi everybody! Brand new member here .. Going on a quick trip to San Diego this week and wanted to know if anyone could give me any tips for walking on Torrey Pines South for a twilight tee time? Want to try and play it Thursday afternoon. Any advice helps!!

You shouldn't have a problem getting on as a single. Even as an out of towner, there are usually enough groups with openings in them that you shouldn't have to wait more than an hour or two, tops. Just put your name in with the starter and be prepared to practice or grab some food until your name is called.

The challenge for us non locals is trying to get an entire foursome to yourself, which can be next to impossible on a busy summer day. There is no reservation system for out of towners, so you basically have to show up at the crack of dawn and be prepared to wait all day if need be. Or - if you're like a colleague of mine, who was desperate to show some clients a good time but didn't want to wait all day - you give the starter $200 and tell him you would sure appreciate it if he could squeeze you in at the first opportunity.

Thank you for the response Big C. Grease the starter .. That's a new one, but I get it lol. It will actually be two of us going out. Not a big issue I'm guessing?

2 will be a little tougher, but should still be doable. Just block off the whole afternoon and be prepared to wait for a bit. Honestly, I'm not sure when twilight even begins at Torrey, but I'd get there at least 90 minutes beforehand.

I hear the greens get pretty messy in the afternoon with that Poana (sp?) grass.

You can get a tee time as an out of SD county player, but you are going to pay a high fee. I dropped over 400 on the Friday after Thanksgiving last year; two players at 10:00 and the cart cost extra. I don't recall how far out those arrangements were made. Twilight would be considerably cheaper.

Here's the current info:

It was worth every penny though.

Gambling is illegal at Bushwood sir, and I never slice.

The North course isn't so difficult, is arguable more scenic and is less expensive.  Just saying.

Just called the reservation system, currently the best time for two on the North after 2 PM is 4:15.  Sunset is 7:24, you wouldn't be able to finish, but you could play a nice 9 hole round.

You can use the automated phone system yourself, 619-570-1234.  Keep trying, I've had luck one or two days before the round as some folks will cancel their rounds and if lucky you can pick those up.

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
