Of course, the talking heads were discussing how that green wasn’t designed to hold mid irons (which is what they were hitting because of the wind).I’m sure the 40 mph winds may have something to do with it.
Well did better than Friday night but still had a lot of bad holes. Started off strong with a chip in birdie after that the front nine 7’s didn’t help. Managed a lot of bad shots so I’m happy with that.
The plant could not compete with combined cycle gas plants in the power market and the emission/ash killed the plant. We tried to sell it and dad zero buyers. It It It was like a 1970 Vette trying to compete with 2022 Vette! No contest.
How did you do? Ron is in town and played Needles, he made sure to text me he shot a 81 today!
That’s a damn good round by Ron. I doubled 9 and shot a 39 on the front. Had that same rough patch in the through about 14. Ended with an 84. I’d love to go back and play again. Tons of holes that were tough to play if you didn’t know where to hit. I probably had 10 - 4’ par saves.
Los Serranos courses are a damn good test. Gotta be able to hit it decent off the tee especially with the wind.
Wind was getting mild breezy about hole 15 we tee off at 6:40 though went quick.but improved on hitting driver i started winding back more for full swing instead of like 3/4 swing and was getting ball higher and longer drive.tried other clubs i am not great at and figured somethings out didnt take score but par 2 holes one was 18.was happy today no doubt.Couple holes i choked think 17 i did bad.but there were 2 holes that have big dog legs think 14,15 both in a row i did good on them 1 over par which is good for me.
I’ll take the desert courses any day. Love firm fast fairways and greens. LS has Kikuyu fairways and rough. It’s the same stuff as Riviera CC. It’s like Velcro. If you can figure it out you can pretty much play anything IMO.
I’m playing a Ping 425 Max driver. Best driver I’ve ever had, if you like the fairway wood you should try the driver.
Everyone we meet at Laughlin Ranch says we need to play there.
Haven’t played out there for quite awhile. The 9 with the stone house is pretty cool. What kinda shape is it in?
I've been hit and miss with my drives overall so I have been hesitant to change anything but a G425 driver is at the top of the list. Looking to upgrade my irons and my driver in the near future and want to get fitted, thinking of going to Golftec. Anyone recommend a good fitting spot in North OC?
How were the tee boxes? I played there about 6 weeks ago and they were in terrible shape for a $100 round!
It’s in good shape greens rolled great! I’m not a fan of the stone side I like the original 18 (creek/oak) better but it still was a great afternoon of work/golf.
Tees not sure what to tell you but given the amount of play most courses are getting and they’re on over seeded Bermuda towards the transition period. It’s not great rye season and not yet Bermuda so I’d expect them to be a little thin but that’s what wood tees are for.
I played Wolf Creek in 40/50 mph winds it was a nightmare
Yea so did I about 2 years ago on the back nine. Not fun. We play twice a year there. Been pretty lucky with the weather
That course + wind is a SOB.
