i read somewhere that Torrey pines doesn't take tee times before 7:30 AM and early tee times are just reserved for walk-ups. Anyone know how early you need to get there to have a realistic shot at getting on the course?

What's in the bag:

Driver: Adams 9064LS (project RIP Shaft) 9.5 degree
3 Wood: Titleist 909R 14.5 degree
Hybrid 3-iron: 19 degree Tour Professional (bent to 18 degrees)Hybrid 4-iron: 21 degree Tour ProfessionalIrons: Tour X-20 5-PW Project X 6.0 shaftsGap Wedge: Mizuno MP10 52.08 Sand Wedge: Mizuno MP10 58.10 Lob Wedge: Nike 62.06

You need to call M&M; Tee Times, you pay them a premium for an awesome time.

Sux to pay the premium but I played cause of them one year the Monday after the Buick and the course was brutally hard. LOst a ton of balls that just trickled in the rough, they just disappear.

Wow, San Diego residents have it good. $43 on the weekend for the north course and $49 for the south. It's hard to play for that cheap here in Austin at the decent courses...

What's in my orange Callaway Warbird Hot:

Maltby CT250 18° - SK Fiber Tour Trac 80 s-flex

on your long drive down from WA, you could play Chambers Bay, detour west a few hours to hit up the Bandon courses, hop onto Harding in SF, Pasatiempo in Santa Cruz, and finish off at Torrey. Unfortunately if you make that dream trip Torrey may be the least amazing.

granted i'm sure i'm forgetting a few decent public tracks along the way but that ain't a bad 10 days of golf there...that IS what you had in mind, right SG? hehe

I believe it's before 9AM. Tee times from sunrise to 9AM are reserved for San Diego resident walk ons.

I found the Torrey Pines experience dissapointing. Muni golf conditions and amenities for a premium golf price. But the views are outstanding, if you get a sunny day. I played half my round in the fog.

Chambers Bay is a gem. Play Bayonet in the Monterey area, 1/4 the price of Pebble and easier to get a time.

    • Day 242 4-19 correct hip/chest movement in backswing. Less hip turn more chest turn. Did a bit of wrist arch stuff as well.
    • Day 42 (19 Apr 26) - Spent a bit of time working on maxing torso rotation…hit a few pitches to help reinforce. 
    • Thanks - that was a total surprise…

    • First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
