Wow, time has flown!  Sounds like its also almost time for him to start his own TST account and member swing thread. ;)  (If he outdrives everybody by 50 yards and shoots under par he may be uninvited for future outings out of pure envy though. :-P)

It'd be fun, but he's too busy with school and female friends. Or possibly the other order? Golf is just a "team sport" for him. . .perhaps in several years when he's out of school. . . :tumble:

You could just create an account on his behalf, I'm sure you know his email address.  LOL.   That way you can give him some sort of generationally appropriate username.  ;-)

Like Lihu&Son (imitating "Sanford and Son")? I could be yelling "This is the big one!" while grasping my chest on the course. . .  :-D

Unfortunately, I think creating an account for him is against the rules. :whistle:

@Patch might be interested. Its not that far a drive noting that his family used to vacation at Sycuan. Heck, I used to ride over to Phoenix just for breakfast in my biker daze.

oh and BTW....any San Diego area folks, I would gladly provide you transportation as long as we could fit the gear in the back of a Prius. There would be only myself and daughter if she wants to go. (she is in Vegas this weekend, and I do not wish to disturb her).

Thanks for the thought, but too many family things going on from mid April to end of May. Perhaps another time.

OK, I have corresponded with the tournament director at Goose Creek, and we are booked for 20 people on April 30th, with the first tee time being at 10am.  I know we only have 11-12 confirmed at this point, but we have until April 20th to finalize the count.  By the 20th, I'll give him the exact number and we'll be off and running.

It's going to be $85 per person for green fees/cart.  I also double checked their maintenance schedule and he said they don't do aerification or overseeding in the spring and that the course will be in excellent shape.

@tristanhilton85 or @mvmac, you want to update the thread title?  Take out the "or nearby" part, and maybe add 10am in there?

Maybe I misread, but I thought on their site that green fees were around $45. Maybe that was the week day rate?

also...daughter just informed me, that  she will be attending a concert that date. Hopefully, we will get a few more.

New irons for me?  crossing fingers.

never mind, I was looking at Senior rates during the week. Not offered weekends and holidays. Current site states $70 green fee $10 cart, $5 small bucket.

Thanks for organizing this gathering!

I figure this will be a great way for us to spend a bit of the time we have together before college, he liked going to the last outings that he was allowed to go to. :-)

We'll be ready, and the only way my son will bug out is if he has "girl issues". :-P

    • Huh? That's the niche of these mini-drivers. They can still work off the tee and off the fairway. They're designed for and work for both things, which is all that blurb says. You can see from the photos that it's a bit of a deeper face, which I find is more important off the tee than the fairway.
    • This statement doesn't make much sense to me.  So, I think the push and pull between a 3-wood meant for off the turf versus off the tee is how tall the face is on the 3-wood. I do not get how this mini driver would be good off the turf, or at least get the height needed to stop the ball as a normal 3-wood meant for off the ground. Maybe they care more about hitting the 3-wood off the tee versus off the turf. Nearly every strike would be low on the clubface relative to the CG location.  I would take that statement as more as marketing over what you would actually expect the club to perform.   
    • No, not that Minnie Driver. This one: It's a mini driver from Titleist, available for Tour validation/testing starting this week at Kapalua. It's available in righty and lefty and is only in 13° models for now. GT280 is a direct result of Titleist’s collaboration with PGA TOUR players on the development and testing of the TSR 2W prototype, which debuted on TOUR at last year’s PLAYERS Championship. With many players seeking an additional option at the top end of their setup, Titleist tour reps and R&D engineers worked with players such as Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris to dial in a 13-degree head that worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck. Now on Tour: New Titleist GT280 The arrival of the 2025 PGA TOUR season this week in Maui brings with it an addition to Titleist’s breakthrough line of GT metalwoods: the new Titleist GT280.
