well instead of all these golf threads, i think this will be a good one for all bay area golf stuff.
im going to take a wild guess that no one wants to play in the tournament but are willing to play in general. i suggest to just let everyone know ahead of time and we can get a few rounds in together.
btw, does anyone want to buy a 2007 taylor made burner driver 9.5 for $90?

I get out a good 3 days a week now and have been shooting really low lately. I ran into a buddy i used to play golf with/against in high school and come to find out he is a teaching pro now so he has been working with my swing a lot lately. I can go out and shoot mid 70's all day, but i consider myself a 4 handicap. I can go low some days and i can go high other days as well, but thats golf. There is always that one shot that keeps me coming back for more lol
i would be down for a tournament, but $80 is a lil too pricey for me when i can play for really cheap if not free. Good idea on the golf thread tho. I say anytime someone goes out and plays they post what they shot, no matter if it was good or bad.
Mon july 13... 74 at lone tree from the blues.

wow, you guys a freaking great golfers. I just got into the game a few years ago, and dont practice as much as I should. So i usually end up between 95 - 105.

^i like las positas. I had a few tournaments at that course in high school. I always played good there. 71 from the blues was my best there. And at least you play golf! some people thinks its simple.... until they play it. keep it up and hit the range and the practice green

Good idea on the thread, Tom.
Went to Lone Tree for the first time a few weekends ago and shot a 84 from the whites. I have to be playing really well to get into the 70s.
How far, do you think you should be able to hit your driver to play from the blues? When I'm at Chuck Corica in Alameda, I usually play from the blues. Score doesn't really change that much though. If anything, I play less aggressively and don't get into as much trouble, haha.
Played Las Pos on Sunday, from the whites, 85.

I feel that if you are able to shoot in the mid 80's then you should try and step up to the blues. It does depend on how long the course is though. Most public golf course arent going to be too bad from the blues. There are some courses that are really long from the blues... (roddy ranch) but that just makes it more fun IMO

One of my friends that I play with is about 1-2 clubs longer than me and it just sucks that he can get on par 5s in 2 while I always have to lay up.
I think I've seen your car twice up in Brentwood, Deer Ridge and Shadow Lakes?

I had my *** handed to me playing from the blues at Roddy, haha. I remember that one par 3 with the deep and fat bunker to the right of it, 230yds? I had to go 3 wood into the wind. 3 wood to a par 3 seems kinda ridiculous.

And ya, #13 at roddy is a ***** of a hole. I take a 3 iron from the blacks and im pin high, but its hard to make any type of good score on that hole. If i walk away with a 3, im happy. That back nine at roddy is tough period IMO. One of the best courses i think.

Yes sir, you might have seen it up there. I always seem to be at either one of those three spots. My car is the all black STI in brentwood. I havent seen too many of all black subies out my way.
