Hi all
We’ll have 6 this year. Ali, Rangerx, Mark, John, Kirk, and Troy (newbie).
Staying in Chandler this year so prefer to play courses closer to that end of town, but will defer to you all. Talking stick on Thursday is great.

See you all soon

    Southern Dunes didn't work out scheduling wise.
    I pivoted to Wildfire. We haven't played it in a few years, so it works.

    One more to go - if you have a favorite shoot!

      Good point! I swear I updated the page a month ago - but evidence suggests otherwise. I must have been drinking. Its updated now!

      Thursday is Talking Stick
      Friday is tentatively Wildfire (still working on price)
      Saturday is TBD still, as other options fell through.

        Well Golfsquid and Hobbit will be there!

        Sadly we lost Kenk57 to cancer.
        Golfiggah to an injury (pretty sure he can't golf anymore)
        Travelcollins to other life pursuits
        Robbie - whereabouts unknown
        Spartan - quit for a while, are you golfing again?

            hobbit I play golf once a week (most weeks). I don't have the enthusiasm I once had. If I play, I enjoy it. If I don't, I'm okay with that too. Old Hickory burned me out.

              Nice to see Brandon ( Adams) added to the Memorial Cup.

              Thanks for doing that

                How does Lodging work now? Most, if not ALL of you, stay in a house I think. Do some, a few or all of you use the hotels?
                Looks like I am going to be there most certainly. I was just looking for the area of town I need to look into for a place to hang the hat for a few days. Wanna be close to the gang and close to courses. Probably get there on Tuesday and leave Sunday or Monday.

                  We've been renting houses forever.

                  Will be great to see you, been too many years

                    Unless something stupid happens. I plan on being there Tuesday till monday..DO I need to tell the Hobbit..or whomever....I have not played any course out there in ages...pick some...I have never played the We-Ko-pa ones...I know they have been in heavy rotation in your games...maybe I play an unofficial DS round there.
                    Next up is finding lodging...iis a big city...I have played 3 rounds in the last month.....zero in thr 16 months prior...

                      Moeman I'll count you in my man! Will be great to see you!

                        ALL - Some of the course options have fallen through. Other events, cannot get us out early enough, etc.
                        In order to not repeat from last year I'm looking at Grayhawk for Saturday. Any other options to consider before I do?

                        Southern Dunes had another event
                        Sterling Grove couldn't get us out until 10am, as the morning times are for members
                        Camelback was similar - Ambiente is a member course and Padre was the only morning option
                        Troon North and Las Sendas are pricing themselves awfully high
                        Kierland didn't return my email/call

                          hobbit

                          Sounds like you've been working hard.

                          Personally, I say don't knock yourself out.

                          The Verado courses are always great to play even though we have played them. Maybe we simply have to double up on the same course

                          lookout Mountain
                          Dinosaur Mountain
                          Raven
                          Boulders
                          Grayhawk
                          Sunridge Canyon
                          Papago ( apparently much improved)

                            Forgot to include...
                            Dinosaur - no early times
                            Sunridge is never open during September
                            Boulders, more expensive than Grayhawk
                            Raven and Verrado were last year - trying not to repeat

                            I'm just going to book Grayhawk I think.
