just perusing the score card. I noted that from one set of tees, one of the holes is a par six, yet the HC and Slope do not look that hard. Overall, the course is about the same as the ones I have played, some easier, some more difficult. I am open to playing from any set of tees (other than tips).

I hope there's no par 6. That would be pretty brutal. Are we looking at the same course?  :hmm:

I remember hitting into a lot of reeds and getting OB. @hacker101 and his son were with me and my son. We had a lot of fun here. My son birdied two holes on the front, then tanked the back when he was like 13  or 14 years old? Been so long I don't remember his age then. . . :-D

I think those are the kiddie tees?

We played the white last time, while all the other groups played from the blue. I don't remember if there were tips or not?

OKAY!   I spoke with my daughter....she says she would like to join us on the 30th. (She will probably kick my butt, seeing as how she has been playing lately.)

Thanks @Big C.  I loved these things and would totally still come.  Especially now with a young kid, I don't get a ton of leisurely 18 holes on the weekend rounds.  But I'm up in Portland now.  I keep my eye out for these though in case they ever line up with a time I might be down in SoCal anyway.  I've got friends in LA and family in northern SD.

The 1.75 hour drive one way is a long 3.5 hour round trip for me.  After sitting on the fence for the last week or so I've decided to pass on this one.  I'm hopeful for a golf outing closer to my neck of the woods in the future.

@Golfing Dad  I mentioned a short while back, that my daughter will NOT be in attendance. (she has opted to go to a concert instead).  I am still in however. We still need one more for 12.

Sorry, I forgot about that ... Spider quoted your earlier post just above and I went with that.  By the way, there is a real member here with a space in his name like that, but it's not me.  Mine's all one word. :beer:

    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.  
    • I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?
    • What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛 
    • It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
