If anyone is looking for a pushcart I'm going to be selling my Motocaddy M1 DHC for local DMV pickup

Probably has 1-1.5 seasons worth of golf on it - can do 36 hilly holes on a a single charge.

I'd rather see that thing cruising up #12 fairway than the guys who drive their carts over the bunkers!!

Guys, we have a couple of spots open to fill out 6 groups this Saturday at BlueMash.

Let me know if you’re interested. 
Golf followed by Masters is tough to beat!

Do you have to have a "+" handicap to play?  LOL  Cause I know a lot of you guys apparently have a big game. 😉  

[davechen]

Looking at the tee sheet, I think I only see one + cap on there, not that I know everyone.

[aiyyer]

We did get 24 and full. Most of us are 8-14 caps. Prime golfers!

That's the most dangerous cap range to play. There's always some dude at 13.0 cleaning everyone out with his 10 net birdies. 

[Kent01putt]

The 12 to 16 HDCP are always the most dangerous.  They can shoot 90 or 77. That grouping will almost always win the net tournament.

Saturday at Fox Hollow had to be the coldest 50 degree day ever. When the sun was out it was bearable. Intermittent light rain and strong winds made it feel like Winter. Played decently for only the third time out this season, shot 40-47. Kinda ran out of steam on the last 3 holes - bogey, double, triple. Next club event is Rocky Point, hopefully a bit warmer.

Concur. On the 2nd hole at Blue Mash, Mossy took off his pullover and I knew we were jinxed then. Only got windier/colder from there, dont care what the temp said it actually was.

 

BM is still one of my favorite layouts in the area and their greens always seem to be aces. But GD I hate driving an hour, paying $100 to play - and they still dick you over $9 for a tiny bucket of range balls. FFS. On top of that for people that walk, they didnt have one water jug out on the course. For a course that I love so much they really always seem to have little S like that to drive you crazy.

I think there are a lot of courses that are just realizing, due to COVID, how much time and energy it takes to keep water jugs stocked and filled, and many will just never bring it back. In fact, there is a movement within Super's community to get rid of a lot of the ancillary crap (ball washers, landscaped/mulched areas around teeboxes) that takes significant time away from maintaining the actual course.

Ah, no. For $100 in early April, on a course where the majority were walking on a Saturday - at the very least you can throw a kid in a cart with full jugs in the morning.

Agree re: Blue Mash. Charging for balls is annoying.

Regarding Moss taking off layers. He walked and played half a round at WM wearing a blanket.

I’ll dig up that photo for you!

[HackinNut]

So what were the results from Blue Mash?  What 15 cap shot at 78? 

[aiyyer]

Some guys shot their caps!

All those guys had their names crossed out at the card because we are never inviting them to play again.  Big time baggers.

Tell me its too cold to be out playing golf without telling me...

[Terphack]

It is pretty routine for folks to carry rain gear or a wind shirt in their bag but I gotta ask- where did the blanket come from?

From the car, desperate times and desperate measures

Why do you need a blanket if you're wearing shorts? 🤔

Gonna need someone to make us some headcovers from that blanket...

He already has silly guy. 
 

But I have an idea for the hive.. 

[Sterling_247]

Do we know if any of the guys did write ups for Bandon?
