We had a great day at Silver Rock today with @Big C.  It wasn't great golf, but it was great weather, a really good golf course, and a great time to reconnect with a Newport Cup friend.  The weather looks just a bit iffy for Thursday and Friday with @tristanhilton85, @mvmac, and @Golfingdad, but we'll be hoping for the best.

Nah, we should be fine Friday.  The chance of rain is currently only at 100%.

I think I heard the Obama's are heading to Palm Springs right just after they leave office. Based on weather here in San Diego right now they won't be golfing.

 

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

Its beautifully sunny as the day dawns in Palm Desert right now.  We've had a great week here, played a lot of golf (some of it good), and reconnected with @Big C, @mvmac, @tristanhilton85, and @Golfingdad.  One more round today, then back to real life.

Nice to know you're getting some great golf in. The pictures look really nice. I love the dramatic clouds and background! Every time I go to Palm Springs everything looks kind of "dusty", the pictures you guys took are absolutely gorgeous!

Hope your last round goes just as well. . .

Sigh, I'm still stuck here at work. In fact, the past 6 months has been virtual non-stop "startup mode". Hopefully, you guys will reap the benefits of all out hard work here. Buy American floor cleaning robots!

It should let up soon. . .and maybe play a little more golf?

I'm going to revive this old thread for a third year.  Surprisingly, our friends Tom and Mary Ellen have invited us back to their winter home, so we'll be in Palm Springs arriving January 13, leaving January 20.  We only have four golfers this time (one couple has dropped out), so I'm not sure we'll have any open spots.  If that changes, I'll post again here.  Its been a lot of fun seeing @tristanhilton85, @Golfingdad, @mvmac, and @Big C over the last couple of years, I hope something works out again this year.

Lucky guys - My sister's father in law lives there and is a member at a nice course - to play it you have to be with a member.  Sounds to me like I'd not enjoy a round with him.  Drinks yes, golfing.....no

Kindly speaking, she predicts a personality conflict despite the fact that I'd put up with a LOT to play any new course.  She doesn't play anymore either, just goes to the range while the rest play.  Other than the golfing, no issues.  Sometimes the game brings out things.

Anyway - beautiful area and courses.  I'm sure to visit someday.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
