July 4 outing....but not quite

SWMBO has other plans for the 4th, so I will get in a round on July 3 at Woods Valley to take advantage of their Senior Monday specials ($29) or perhaps the early Twilight (noon) for only $20.  I've played it a few times. Not bad, interesting, but hot and little shade. A couple of blind green, downhill, terraced  tee holes that require pin point accuracy. Don't venture into the hazard areas unless you happen to like rattle snakes.  Many of the North County San Diego courses have some good deals these days.

North County inland courses are probably worried about weather in the 90's affecting turnout. I've also noticed golf isn't so much a big holiday deal. Maybe because so many are retired anyway?

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

Probably. Temps have also been triple digits a few days. I played Pala Mesa a short while back, and guy there only charged me $25 including a bucket of balls. I guess he deferred to me being a military vet as he was in the Marine Corps.

There are also places around that seem like a complete total rip off. I can't imagine where it is worth it to pay $100 + for a round but I know people do.

Try North of $500 in Japan and some places in Europe! or for that matter Pebble Beach. Torrey Pines can cost a bit if you are not a San Diego Resident. They used to have a San Diego County rate, but I believe that is gone now.  Luckily, I get comp'd at Las Vegas Country Club, er I should say that SWMBO does, but they don't check I.D.'s So I can go in her place.

      Dan Lanning Knew the Rules Better Than the Refs

      By saevel25 ·

      I call this diabolically genius, or just stupid if the refs called it right.  In the 2nd to last play of the OSU v Oregon game. Oregon, purposely put 12-men on the field because of the following.  1) It is called a 5-yard penalty 99.999999999999% of the time. I am not sure it has been called anything else in the history of college football.  2) It is a live ball foul, so the clock starts on the ref.  He did this to waste time. He knew 5-yards meant nothing towards a field goal, and it would waste something like 5-6 seconds by the time the previous play is over, and OSU snaps the ball next.  We all know proving intent is nearly impossible.  There is a rule under unsportsmanlike conduct,  "No substitute(s) may enter the field of play or end zones for purposes other than replacing a player(s) or to fill a player vacancy(ies). This includes demonstrations after any play" Now, he will always tell the ref it as an illegal substitution. If done on purpose, is not an illegal substitution, but unsportsmanlike conduct.  A kick in the teeth for OSU fans is, Ryan Day could have called time out and gotten the time out back.  "When the deep officials count 12 Team B players, both teams are in formation, no Team B player is attempting to leave the field and the snap is imminent, (a) the crew will offer Team A their time out back and penalize Team B for a substitution foul." What Day should have done is just called a time out and took the free yardage.  To give him credit, in a game where you are up by one, the other team is driving, you pull this stunt. You are banking on the opposing coach either not to know, or at least not remember in the moment that you can call a time out with 12 men on the field and retain your time out.
