Unfortunately this month isn't good for me. I'm traveling until the middle of the month then I have two tournaments towards the end of the month.

That's the problem with Southern Calif. for meetups, it's always been a long drive for me for any of the locations.  That and Torrey is inexpensive and only about a 10 minute drive for me.  Let's do a Torrey Pines meetup ;-)

...I live in Carlsbad and I drive to Coronado to play. I also would drive north and have drove to Yorba  Linda to play Black and Gold.

 I tell you what, get us all attendees the SD city resident rate and I'm in for Torrey!

With that said if there is a course that is conveniently located for most I personally would be ok to drive.

Hi All! 

I'll be in the area and would love to meet ya'll in person to hit the ranges or do a round together! If nothing else, we can talk shop. I also travel lots through Cali so don't mind meeting some travel golf companions!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

My suggestion is to leave the venue as is, once you begin changing things around, you will lose participation and leads to confusion.  I will go anywhere as well, but it should be nailed down. My daughter lives in San Clemente if that is of any help. Not everybody can get Torrey local residency rates. So far all the committed players live North of Carlsbad. (I am in North Escondido). We are still at four?

I'm with you on that.  I was making a joke cause the chances of getting a resident rate at Torrey for non SD residents are slim to non.

As far as I know so far we have a foursome that includes your daughter.

Sounds good. We may pick up a few more, but in any event, should be fun. (it was last time, with @spider and @Shindig when we played at Camp Pendleton).  I really like Arrowwood also, but it is considerably more difficult and price is a bit higher, but still reasonable,. especially for senior and/or military. I agree with you on the muni, easier to get to.

@Shindig thanks for the invite, but this month is already booked up for me. Hopefully I'll be up for the Fall or Winter outing....

Doing a "tune up" round tomorrow with my daughter at Welk Resort. They have two courses there, one is a par three and the other a little longer executive course.  Rita and the kids are using their time share there. Its okay, I need to work on my iron play anyway which has been suffering of late.

Agreed. I didn't mean to confuse I was just curious about OC vs SD. I'll join you one of these times when I feel more confident.

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

Confidence is over rated. While, it is natural to want to feel comfortable, what you need to realize is that people are really concerned of their own game and pay little attention to yours. I am only now getting to the place where I can play within myself and not be bothered with how well I perform or not compared with others. You should just welcome the opportunity to get out with a small group for the sake of the event itself. You will more than likely observe, that just about everyone will have their share of shots that go all over the place and that in the end you are much better than you thought you would be.

Then....there is always the next time. There will always be a "next time".

meh ....it was disaster city...shot an  83 but par is only 62. Nice course though, a few par 4's. I really should play it more often and see if I can get a handle on my iron play. Hybrids are a blessing and a curse at the same time.

I'm sure you're good company no matter what score you shoot.

I sent a pm with a little info.

@gregsandiego, the more you make it an issue the more it grows on you and it becomes an obstacle.

I played a full round of shanks once and lost about 6 balls while playing in a foursome. I was pretty upset and discouraged... I had to go back the next day and play again to get over it.

It is not as important to play well as it is to be pleasant and polite...as of matter of fact, a series of bad shots and swings with good sense of humor can be perfect ingredient to drop the pressure for the entire group.

@Hacker James, I played that course and it is fun. Great place to practice Iron shots. If you  need a playing partner to play it again, let me know.

Welk is just  a short way from my house and I still have one more spot on a coupon my daughter gave me. I will try to get out there one day this week. I am expecting delivery of a new hybrid (Tour Edge E9 26 deg) and want to try it out. The nearest driving range is at The Vineyard except for a rinky dink one off of Centre Center North but I dont like it as you are hitting up hill. The new club may get here this weekend, or Monday at the latest according to the tracking (it is already in San Marcos). I am free most anytime.

Great time with @Shindig @Hategolf @Hacker James Rita

I could not hit the ball out of shadow, irons sucked. I was the "Master of Disaster", but you know....

 

IT'S ALL GOOD

 

Thanks Guys/Gal.

    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
