Tagging @tonygonz1, @Mark B, @Coronagolfman, and @Hacker James to this thread after seeing them in another thread about Southern California.

We'd love to have any or all of you guys at our next outing, which appears like it's going to be March 6th, perhaps somewhere out in the Coachella Valley. :beer:

@tristanhilton85, another option to consider would be the course across the 10 from Tukwet (I forget the name) - I believe you mentioned in the past that you liked that course.  If we're coming all the way to the valley, then I would say let's also consider Shadow Ridge. :)

Coachella Valley is a bit far away for me... unless I can get the wife to schedule a 4 or 5 day trip to Palm Springs around that time.  If we are firm on the date I'll start working on it.

Thanks GD....keep me in mind please. I really do not compete much any more, but the comradery would be nice. I haven't a boat load of cash however, so my golfing outings are a bit sparse. Also, I do not have an official handicap; however I do log scores on my home made spreadsheet so that I know what my handicap would be.

Our outings are very laid-back and NON-competitive, and a handicap is not needed.  We do compete foursome against foursome if we have enough people to make it interesting, and @mvmac might get some golf company to kick in a cool prize here or there for the winning team, but its mostly just about having fun and meeting new people. :beer:

sounds good. I should be available depending on the exact location/time. Not sure where Coachella Valley is, but can look it up once I get the address.

just looked it up. Very familiar area, just could not connect the name. I used to ride all over the place in my motorcycle (CA 371 through Anza). Cut across from Borrego Springs to Palm Desert.  Us old bikers, didn't pay much attention to destination, but more or less just "point and shoot" utrilizing the old "Fukawi" mantra.  As in "Where da fuk a wi"

Bumping after a few weeks of inactivity.  Have we figured out any specifics other than March 6 being the date?

Oy, I totally forgot about this. Good chance I'm still available to play though.

I'm doing pretty good, man.  Finally feeling (mostly) healthy, and have been playing a lot of golf after skipping out on most of last year.  Thanks for asking!  I might look to join you guys the next time you get something organized.

Stay tuned.  Also, keep practicing so you'll be ready for Newport Cup 2017!!!

I had a chance to check out that thread, very cool.  Glad to see everybody followed through to make that happen.  

I've been practicing a lot lately and starting to see some results (I shot sub-80 for the first time in 2+ years recently).  Maybe by 2017 I'll be in the single digits, finally :-).

    • Attempting to lift. Any better?  
    • Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!
    • Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)
    • Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry
    • You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
