Where in OC is this? I would love to try and hit balls into a boat. 🙂

Looks like they had the good sense to pull down the yardage signs @ SA. 

This was Brookside, but SA was similarly flooded. They never take down the signs, you just can’t see them when they’re submerged 😂

Hi Everyone,

 

We’re planning on Diamond Bar this Sunday morning at 8:40, anyone want to make a 4th?

@tehuti, @Chasing_Bogeys And myself are three with @Shindig doing volunteer work at the LA Open.

Please let us know if you want to join, or we might get stuck in a 5-some 🥺

@Lihu, @Chasing_Bogeys, @Shindig Hey guys. It’s not looking too good weather wise for Sunday. Do we need to cancel, or wait it out?

 

If you folks bail, I’ll go up into the mountains to ski and board 😁

But, yeah, it looks like rain on Sunday...

Nice!

Anyone want to try this up coming weekend? Weather should be okay?

I've never played Willowick - how is that course? Is it walkable?

I'm going to try to play on Saturday afternoon. Hoping to get a tee time around 1pm. Not sure if I'm going to play DeBell (Burbank) or Brookside or Hansen Dam. I'm taking kids for a hike in the morning and not sure when we'll be back so not sure when I'll get out. I can text you guys Saturday when I have a plan if you want?

I can't play on Sunday.

Willowick is okay. Not the best maintained course, but it is challenging, walkable and not too expensive. It’s my unofficial “home” course for 2019 through the SCGA. I want an official handicap this year to meadure my progress.

thanks for the willowick quick review. 🙂 "Walkable and not expensive" - sounds like my kinda place!

Good luck on Sunday. One of these weekends we'll get us all out as a 4some. When the weather starts to cooperate it will be easier to plan.

Agreed. I am really getting tired of all this rain and (SoCal) cold though.

Saturday afternoon works for me as well at Brookside.

Have any of you played the Navy course in Cypress? I haven’t been there since the 90s, but it was a nice track back then. It is open to the public now.

    • Attempting to lift. Any better?  
    • Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!
    • Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)
    • Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry
    • You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
