I'm a big fan of Shorecliffs, which is in the area. I've heard great things about Talega and Aliso Viejo; they are the two favorites of a friend of mine.

BTW, for those three courses (and some others in the area), I check click4teetimes.com before making a tee time, as there are generally nice discounts available.

Yep, I forgot about that site. I use C4TT more often, but the other site isn't bad at all.

Friday, I played Shorecliffs for $18 total - cart and course fees. No processing fee.

If you're willing to spend $200 to play Monarch, you're better off driving 30 minutes up Pacific Coast Hghway to play Pelican Hill. The North Course is probably the best layout in OC with the best views by far. $225 on the weekends.

I'd also stay pretty far away from Corndog if you are there...he'll talk your ear off about how great USC is. Although his game leaks like an old Pinto down the stretch if he tries to reel you in.

Monarch is overrated...play Pelican if you want to spend that much. Arroyo Trabuco is a much better coure for the money or Tijera's Creek. Shorecliffs is a cheap muni, but if you want to play there, then go up to Costa Mesa and play either Los Lagos or Mesa Linda...better courses for the money.

I'd have to say San Clemente Muni is one of my favorite courses in the area for the money. San Juan Hills is also a good course for the price. I really don't pay more than $50 for golf so I wouldn't know about Monarch or Pelican.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      Swing check. Cons: The countertop drill hasn't taken yet. Not crazy about A5 to A6 hand path. Pros: Decent BS width at A2 and right elbow at A4. All in all, not terrible but meh..

      Day 74 (14 Jul 25) - Late afternoon session w/9i, magnetic alignment stick, Divot board and hard foam balls.  Worked on getting the face square at setup and then returning to same through the swing.  The lines on the Divot Board served as referenced parallels for the alignment stick.  Did hit a few balls about 30 total - half with using the alighment stick on the club face and half without.  First time working with the magnetic alignment rod - really reveals when you have the face closed/open/etc.

      I mean, that is what I figure would be the case.  My mind is just trying to wrap around the idea that 22" left = feet aiming like 15 yards left visually. It's like in a CADD system, if the flag is the base point when you scale an image, it stays in the same spot as you get closer (scale up) or get further away (scale down).  I can image how if you have a 10-yard chip, it could look much more like your feet are aimed nearly 22" left of the flag.  Now I want to try to make some measurements and quantify this 🤣.  Yes, they do. Yea, that is true.

      Closer to like 22" than 36. Why wouldn't the target line (ball) be at the target (flag) with your feet parallel left of that? Perception messes with a lot of people. Almost all righties tend to aim to the right, because what feels parallel left — particularly given that your eyes are "between" the ball and your feet — feel like they're pointed MILES left even when they're square. Also, there's no rule that you have to be parallel left of the target line. I like to be slightly open at setup.

      Pitching

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree.
